As others said Switzerland. It's beautiful and all but really expensive. It really took away a big part of fun when I went there. But not only that, I thought the swiss people seemed sometimes kinda "rude"or maybe a better word for it "cold" and a little annoyed if it came to tourists. I get it, it's a small county and a lot of people are visiting each year, but it still wasn't fun for me to be there and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone to go there.

And North France near the German border like Strasbourg. The city and the region is beautiful as well, but the people are often like the cliché everybody knows and that sucks if you're a tourist.
But the south of France like Marseille and the Provence is always worth a visit. The people are chill, enjoying life in the typical mediterranean way and are often friendlier (and often speak English at least in the bigger cities/tourist areas).

Then you should visit south europe. Europe is divided by the alps in a lot of things, like potato or tomato as main ingredient in meals. But also in culture itself. Everything north of the alps is kinda cold and seems unhappy/angry and stressed all the time and south of it people seem chill, happy and friendly.

Is everything the worst?

I'm 43, almost 44, years old and went through a bought of alcoholism during the early part of the pandemic. I went through treatment and have been fine since. However, I can't help but feel that all the news in the last few months is just the worst. Between the AI bullshit, the wars, the effects of capitalism, and the political...

As mentioned by other commentators, negative, emotional news sell the best and the news nearly perfected this method during the last couple of years.
Yes, it isn't as good as pre pandemic times, but it's not the worst.
For me it really helped to limit my news time to max. once a day (like in the past with the newspaper in the morning or a news show in the evening) and watching things called "good news". In Germany some TV shows have this category so I never searched it on social media or YouTube, but I bet there are some channels/pages dedicated to good news (like there is a new treatment for disease XY or here is a good step in the fight against climate change, but sometimes just news like "the big panda isn't as endangered as it was".

Wow. I knpw an American and an European robin aren't the same, but now I see the high difference.
Nice pic and thank you for the random education.

Yrt ,

Both and question everything you read/hear and try to double check everything that seems important.

I'm so sorry! Of course, here you go: https://www.edps.europa.eu/press-publications/publications/techsonar/fake-news-detection_en

The heat... The smell...

That looks like what they really would like to be true.

Thank you! Got stuck on "beansitive".

Such a good pic of lil bug knight!

Schneesturm (snow storm) or Ameisenkrieg (ant war) in German.

Always love it seeing/hearing it live. But I think "Ghost love score" is even better, especially the Wacken 2013 version. Those last notes!

Yrt ,

Oh yeah! And it's "this is nightwish" in a normal song length and not "do you have 10minutes to spare?"

Yrt ,

Oh definitely! And not only cause humankind tend to forget something. We are a really western, at best on top asian and arabic region focused society. So we wouldn't know if a guy in South America figured out the earth is round or saw gravitation like Newtown.

Edit: and if you wanna read about how much Christianity destroyed knowledge everywhere they went. I would say chances are 99,9999% someone got erased from history

The ring

Yeah and these reinsurances are also insurance companies, so the statement "insurances could lose up to 3bn" is still right.

Even further: most losses are booked by reinsurance companies, cause prior insurances mostly don't cover big sums on there own. It's like "10 million for me and the rest for you."

Oh I feel you! I ate spaghetti Bolognese ice cream a couple of years ago and I couldn't stand it. Ice cream is great and Bolognese is great but not mixed together.

Even if bitcoin wasn't just a pyramid scheme and all but right now there are 900 new bitcoins each day, after the next halfing around the corner it's still 450/day. So each day there will be more new bitcoin then he would buy in 1 year.
Even the easiest numbers don't add up even if he is just a 40yr cryptobro Trump version.

Yrt ,

I know how bitcoin works. But this cap of 21m will be around 2100 or even later if the mining power stays the same as today. So nobody reading this post will be alive around that time. And the same for El Salvador. Should all the people alive right now suffer, cause in around 100 years a theory of a new way for money could succeed? (And no, I don't think bitcoin will ever be more than money laundering and daytraiding craziness ending in more money for the people laundering)

Yrt ,

Right now I'm at 8 different jobs in 5 different companies. I switched jobs inside one (totally different job profiles). 4 of those jobs were during school and university time.

Yrt ,

Same for Germany. It's income taxes (everything above ~66k/year is 42% taxes and everything above ~277k/year is 45%) no capital gains taxes (they are 25% no matter the amount of capital gains) or asset taxes. Don't know where the 47% are coming from.

Oh no, for some of them it's totally different. Also there is a lot of homophobia inside the homosexual circles. Couldn't believe it myself, but sometimes if you don't look or act like the cliche or like common homosexual stuff like music or movies, you're an imposter and not really gay.
Saw it happen myself at a lesbian party. Two girls just looking female were bullied cause it's "not lesbian" for a couple to be both female looking, that's just two best friends being confused. "It's just a phase" is a thing I heard quite a lot that evening.
Never knew you signed up for a membership with rules and stuff when you're "entering" the LG area. Just thought if you only like women as a woman you're lesbian and same for men only liking men, but it seems that's not the case.

Yrt ,

Maybe because Russia "hacked" (if the rumours are true, Russia just dialed in) a German defence conference and played the audio track of it with topics of the war in a news show.
If Ukraine hacked into russia defence stuff, it shows they're not that great and untouchable.

Oh please let someone refuse to marry a hetero couple.

The Fleur de Lis is a common symbol throughout history (I think the first images of one was found at mesopotamia). In modern history it's common in France but also as the symbol of the city Florence.
And now I'm not quiet sure, but my guess is the Medici, the ruling family of Florence had a big influence about the Fleur de lis spread around Italy.

Yrt ,

If I understood you correctly that's nothing you can learn. It just happens for most people when they see something they like or admire.
I myself have trouble with stuff like that, but that's because I have a soft form of autism and an anxiety disorder so keeping track and not losing myself completely in a situation is mandatory for not going insane.
