Well, generelly, I understand where you are coming from, but I think the enormous price of book production at the time makes it really an unreasonably expensive hoax.

“Okay?”

I am not a friend of clever comebacks. People who point these things out are pathetic and people who get triggered by that only slightly less so.

Which will raise the ridiculously low prices of temu, in order to stop ultra fast fashion, which is a good thing.

Well, for furniture, I totally agree with you and honestly: I don’t think there is eomething wrong with redesigning your living room every 10 years, especially when you move around.

I mainly want to be able to buy old washing machines, dish washers, TVs, because I don’t care about their appearance.

But keep in mind that here you compare a house (!) in the US, to a single bedroom apartment in china. That is quite a difference.

Well, for 2022 I found that the average wage is 2600¥ or 330€ per month (with enormous differencs between the regions). That means a flat is 4 annual salaries on average, assuming ithe 15000$ or 14000€. That’s not that much off a difference to Germany, where I am from.

So one could argue that this is just the advise “get a job and buy a house!!!” To a homeless person.

Not Alabama, but there is a Lama from Minnesota

What does “active” mean in this context? Is giving an upvote or opening the app enough, or do I need to write a comment/post?

Why such a snarky remark? Why not just answer OPs questions and create a welcoming, entertaining, educative environment for all of us?

No, because the child most likely didn’t make the decision to stay unvaccinated for themselves.

This is just flat-out murder.

For me it was Williams, kurnikova and biles.

I honestly just know 4 of those. Hmmm

Ufff, that last sentence came hard

Stop resisting! Oh my god, officer down, officer down! Get backup!

Well, honestly: I have this kind of computational power at my university, and we are in dire need of a locally hosted LLM for a project, so at least for me as a researcher, its really really cool to have that.

This is what I LOVE about German culture.

“How are you/Wie geht es dir” is a serious question. So you just ask that if you are genuinely ready for 2-3 minutes of information about the person’s situation.

I went to an English boarding school for half a year and once a teacher walked by and asked me “how are you”. Now I know she was just polite. But she looked so bewildered once I gave her an update on beeing so far from home for the first time and that the rooms are very very small etc. She was absolutely not ready for these 2-3 minutes, and I even think she was in a hurry.

Of course “I am suffering from serious depression and my life is in shambles” is also not a normal answer in Germany, but “puh, it’s been rough the past few weeks, but I guess better time will come” totally is. Then it’s the other person’s choice to dig deeper or just accept that answer.

What is a speed limit on highways?

Confused greetings from Germany.

Unpopular opinion: your opinion is not unpopular at all.

Don’t fucking tell me what I can and can not be!

With the power of friendship I will finally become a Glurak (also screw English Pokémon names)

We are literally in the perfect scenario, where we don’t even need to fight the Russians, as long as we WOULD GET OUR ASSES UP AND PROPERLY ARM UKRAINE!!!

this is so beyond me There are literally people in Ukraine that WANT to go to the trenches, and all we would need to do is give them superior firepower…
