I've been thinking – somebody should make a 3rd party YT front page with its own algorithm. Google would probably be livid but we do already have alternarive front ends.
Hmm ok, will keep this in mind

English-speaking environments in Germany
I'm a Czech student who grew up in the UK and now lives in Prague.
After some travelling, I've found that Germany feels the most natural to me, because culturally it's somewhere in the middle, which matches how I feel identity-wise. I can speak the language well enough for most everyday and official scenarios, but for socializing I still feel the most comfortable with English (because I don't have to actively think about what I'm saying). Are there any places in Germany with communities that speak English by default? I've been thinking about trying Berlin or perhaps an Erasmus-heavy city like Heidelberg...
Top quality shitpost. I consider myself to be the little one.
At least the lesson has come quite early on. It helps to have a short feedback loop

Actually, they make Britain work too. Baked beans.
Yup. They have a very distorted electoral system which gives them that on 40-50% support.
That sounds like quite a sensible system. Also in NL the 2/3 will almost always require a broad coalition of parties because of your proportional system.
How did fire exit man end up there??
In some countries constitutional ammendments need to be compatoble with whatever constitutional law already exists
Hungary's parliament is currently above the constitution because the ruling party has a 2/3 majority. They might as well pass all laws as constitutional laws. The situation is quite similar to the UK where any party with a prime minister can change anything at all.
It is quite an old car
Pre-WW2 German cursive
Technically these are all still Latin leters, just that they're written in a weird way that evolved from middle-aged Gothic handwriting as opposed to Latin directly which was the case with English cursive. This style of writing, along with the print-oriented 𝔣𝔯𝔞𝔨𝔱𝔲𝔯, was abandoned for the Latin equivalent by the Nazis for logistical reasons in 1941.

Well paying skills to do as a side job?
I'm a student and it's going to be another few years before I can get a serious job in the field I'm studying. I'm looking for jobs to do while studying to pay the bills in the meantime. I could go and work as a cashier or something but I've been thinking it would be more attractive to pick some sort of skill (eg. being a cook) that I could do to earn money and improve at along the way. Some skill that once mastered pays relatively well. Ideally something intuition-based or hands-on so that I can relax from studying. Any recommendations?

How to outsource life planning?
I'm completely inept at organizing changes in my life, which means I waste a many weeks being 'stuck' when I could be out living/working somewhere interesting/etc. I was watching Top Gear the other day and I realized that what I really need is to have 'producers' like they do on the show who take care of the logistics of things so that the protagonist can just sail through. I realize that this doesn't come for free so I would be willing to join a group where one such plan is made for the whole group, or switch to a job where having someone plan your life (at least the working part) is a requirement of the job. In other words, I am willing to trade some of my sovereignty/independence for this. Any recommendations? (Just for context, I am not in the US and I'm not old.)
Studying a thrilling profession vs studying an applicable profession ?
I'd really like to study genetic engineering because I find it a cool skill. But at the same time, job positions for genetic engineers are few and far inbetween. So while I'd potentially be good at something few people can do (=high paying). If I studied something like law, I'd be much more flexible geographiclally in terms of finding employment. So I'm wondering whether to aspire to a more common career and take GE as a hobby that I'm studying, or if I should double down on GE and work in a café until I find a job in that. (I might decide I want to pivot away from GE once I learn it anyway.) What do you recomend?

What happens if someone on the ISS gets depression?
I know depression usually has a grave cause and astronauts have quite an active schedule. But say their family dies. Depression makes you think and perceive time differently. Surely wouldn't it become a risk to the mission? You can't steamroll over it...
