  I mean just look at the high gas prices (which are still dirt cheap compared to germany) and people don’t realize it is Trumps doing. Or how he slashes Medicaid. Things that are really perceivable in your everyday live and not abstract politics.

  So yeah, totally believable that a lot of those people fall for this kinda news.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Civic duty⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, so you have to take vacation days for jury duty? Your employer doesn’t have to give you leave? That’s fucked up lol. Every time I think the US couldn’t be more fucked than it already is, I get proven wrong lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me_irl⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah maybe if u live in Estonia which has excellent Internet services.

  But definitely not in germany, where u have to pay a shitton of money and still only get shitty speeds lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yeah I see you...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The trick is to be poor. Cos then u don’t even have any money to start any hobby to begin with.

  US now literally a shit country lol, no denying anymore

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuck you Whatsapp⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Could be germany. WhatsApp is very widely used here, because back then in the olden days SMS flat rate was expensive. And WhatsApp was ideal, because it worked even on throttled data rates, so you could use it even if you ran out of data. So making it basically a free alternative to SMS.

  Do that in an US-American paper house and watch it crumble lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oblivion⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Doubt that he earns more through selling books. Professors are paid really well in germany.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This guy managed the movie theater I worked at in high school.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Only 15-17$” Does everyone there has a 6 figure income or how can this bar survive lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oblivion⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this a US thing where curriculums are based on basically one book? Here in germany, often professors just put together their own presentation slides and make them available for the students. The material in the slides of course is based losely on one or more books, but u don’t really need to read or let alone purchase those books. Also, aren’t university libraries a thing in the US? We can get a lot of digital copies of books legitimately for free.

  And what majors require u to even read specific books? I did my major in electrical engineering, and there are so many books and even YouTube videos explaining a lot of stuff for free. I mean the mathematics and the physical laws are always the same, so it’s not like they change from book to book.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Videogames: Then and Now⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The rise of lootboxes is equally to blame on those moron players who buy them. Especially the fucking whales, who spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars on them. Recurringly. Whales fucking ruin everything they touch. They are to blame why most video games turn to shit, since they show the companies that it is much more lucrative for them to just release new lootboxes with some new super rare items or whatever instead of actually releasing meaningful content. And I mean who can blame them, really? Creating lootboxes barely costs anything wrt to development costs and time, but making new meaningful content does. Fuck whales.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every summer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why Bavaria lol. If anything, it shold be all of germany now with all those BS reforms the government just announced. Fuck them, reducing workers rights even more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨End of an era?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, people are stupid generally speaking. I mean, just look at Apple, they are releasing basically the same phone every year with an increasing price tag and the sheeple keep mindlessly buying it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't tempt me with a good time.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that in smart units or dumb units?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨time to eat⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah u save a lot of money as well. I just eat an apple, which is like 50 cents. Most of my colleagues go out for lunch everyday, paying around 10 Euros or so every time. That’s 200 bucks a month only for lunch. Absolutely ridiculous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t this game gonna be huge wrt size? Like how would this fit on a single disk. You would prolly need 10 disks or sth like that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Linux? Those guys who like to talk about themselves?"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I purchased the second drive just when I saw they were about to get really expensive. I actually used my Windows drive recently, cos there was an open playtest of an upcoming game I am looking really forward to, and at that ran only on Windows, although the official release is planned for Linux as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨can I skip the exercise part?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why tf would drinking alkaline water be good for you? I believe it would be bad for u in the long-term, cos that would make ur body produce more stomach acid since it constantly gets neutralized, or am I wrong here?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stay chill, no matter what⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah no those things are not paid by the schools. The parents pay for this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love houses that trap heat! /s⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because depending on the country, it is indeed true. Not many houses here in germany have an AC installed. Because it was just fine not having one a decade or two ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love houses that trap heat! /s⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You need a fan to blow the cold outside air into ur apartment
