Ich kenne so viele Leute, die befristetet beschäftigt sind oder Karriere nur durch Firmenwechsel machen. Bei uns in der Firma sehe ich ehrlich gesagt auch keine Wahl außer in den nächsten Jahren woanders zu schauen, wenn ich weiterkommen will. Da fühlt man sich natürlich nie richtig zuhause am Wohnort und geht nicht in Vereine.
Auf der anderen Seite waren meine Erfahrungen mit Vereinen auch nicht die besten. Beim Bogensportverein hat man direkt beim ersten Training klar gemacht, dass man hier nur für Wettbewerbe trainiert und Anfänger nicht erwünscht sind. Ich hatte ein Semester einen Kurs gemacht und wollte es im Verein dauerhaft fortführen. Daraus ist dann nichts geworden, nachdem einer der Leiter mich ins Kreuzverhör genommen hat und sehr klar gemacht hat, dass man hier weder Zeit noch Lust auf Anfänger hat.
Und dann ist da noch die Arbeitswelt. Erklär mal deinem Chef, dass du mittwochs grundsätzlich Punkt 17 Uhr gehen musst, um zum Vereinstreffen zu kommen. Werden halt auch die wenigsten mitmachen. Bitte steh grundsätzlich für Überstunden zur Verfügung und die Firma muss Prio 1 in deinem Leben haben.
I was always so confused by the tongue areas because it never seemed to work for me. Especially sweet, I tasted sweet far more at the back than on my tip.
If you would like to try some different fantasy than the traditional that is based in European folklore, I can recommend "Iyanu Child of Wonder" by Roye Okupe. The world is inspired by Yoruba culture.
*male anger. Angry women are still emotional and hysterical.
Jap. Haben sich damals in Siegburg mehrfach irgendwie Zugang zum Haus verschafft, sind von Wohnung zu Wohnung gegangen und haben behauptet, sie müssten irgendwas am Router kontrollieren. Als ich einmal gesagt habe, wir sind bei einem anderen Anbieter, wollte der Typ nicht nachgeben und hat den Fuß in die Tür gestellt und behauptet, ich müsse trotzdem irgendwas von der Telekom unterschreiben. Die haben dann auch Hausverbot von der Hausverwaltung bekommen.
Ja, ist wirklich schön hier. Wir waren am Wochenende in Haarzuilens auf der Elfia und ich lauf jetzt durch die Altstadt.
Ich muss aber ehrlich sagen, ich hab noch nie Drückerkolonnen von Vodafone an der Tür gehabt. Dafür mehrmals schon Telekom, die zT gewaltsam versucht haben, sich Zutritt zu verschaffen.
Mein Mann und ich sind in Utrecht. Ich habe Urlaub, er muss wegen einem Notfall von hier aus arbeiten (IT Security, er hatte noch Bereitschaft heute und natürlich passierte etwas). Also gehe ich jetzt Utrecht alleine erkunden.
I feel you. I'm allergy to all nuts (that are tested for) and soy. Dairy, eggs and nuts sounds like a shitty combination because a lot of the vegan stuff is nut-based.
I meow to find my husband and he will meow back.
Soon we can translate all the GDR jokes and use them for the US.
Maybe just really good intuition and knowledge of human behavior. You could probably make a lot of money as a psychic.
Have you read The perfume by Patrick Süskind? You sound like a real-life Grenouille. Without the murdering, hopefully :D
I'm a 5 :) Thought for way to long that all this "Picture in your mind" stuff was just a figure of speech, not that people actually SEE pictures on their mind.
We need stricter social rules again in a lot of areas and children need to be brought up stricter again. Now I don't mean we should get back to being in other people's business in regards to what they wear or who they love. But let's go back to shunning people for littering. Teach kids to sit still and be quiet in certain spaces like public transport or restaurants. Ostracize people who are loud and disruptive in public. Let's just implement some stricter social rules again.
Really not great. Can't motivate myself to keep studying, gotta find a new job because my contract won't be extended. My boss, who kept telling me everything was good and I did a good job, not only not extended my contract but also wrote me a rather bad recommendation letter. Just told me in a meeting all the "problems" he had with me that haven't been mentioned in any of the previous meetings. Just feel like shit and would rather never work again and spend my life watching TV shows...
Oh, and don't forget that the AfD is getting stronger and stronger and will fuck over my trans best friend and my husband, who wasn't born in Germany and has dual citizenship.
Even if the system isn't completely rigged by then, it's been proven time and time again that the average voter has the attention span of a toddler on sugar. I'm afraid what happens now, three and a half years away from the elections, will have no influence on the elections.
Yeah, that's my main reason for not going to the cinema. I like the atmosphere and I can afford it, but why would I spend so much money just to have the experience spoiled by a bunch of brats jumping around and being annoying.
Fun fact because I've lived in that region for a while: Count Alexander zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn ist still alive and inherited the family's castle, which he successfully renovated. It had been a ruin after WW2. He also has a Harvard Business degree. The castle is an event location now and one of very few castles in Germany that are still owned by the original aristocratic family. There is also a butterfly house next to the castles.
If we loose the contents of major internet platforms forever, future linguistics will have trouble figuring out where all those weird versions of swear words suddenly came from.
You know those euphemistic words like "muck up" for "fuck up", "shite" for "shit", or "unalive" for "suicide" that people use to circumvent the rules of major platforms like YouTube and Tiktok? I just thought about how people are starting to use them on other platforms and in real live out of habit. But they only make sense in this very specific context, that a majority of communication takes place on privately owned, strictly regulated internet platforms that ban certain words.
If for whatever reason the details of how the platforms worked get lost (and they might, because it's so centralised that all it takes is for a handful of major companies to go under and take all the content they host with them), it'll be difficult to retroactively figure out what the culture of the 2020s looked like and where all those weird words suddenly came from.
Für Chemjo zu Pessach 1944 - Mascha Kaléko
Mascha Kaléko was born in 1907 as the daughter of a Russian father and an Austrian mother. The family fled from the persecution of Jews in Galicia to Germany in 1918. Mascha spend her teenage years in Berlin. In 1928 she marries the philologist Saul Kaléko. In 1934 she meets and falls in love with the Jewish composer Chemjo Vinaver and starts a four year long affair until her divorce from Saul in 1938.
Chemjo and Mascha flee to New York where she continues to write poetry in German, her mother language. By the time she wrote this poem she already lived in New York, where she suffered from loneliness and the fact that she could not get her German poetry published.
Umgekehrt (Reversed) by Eugen Roth
Ein Mensch wird "Pessimist" geschmäht,
Der düster in die Zukunft späht.
Doch scheint dies Urteil wohl zu hart:
Die Zukunft ist's, die düster starrt!
A man as "Pessimist" is flouted
Who sees the future gloom'ly clouded.
However this judgement too harsh appears:
It is the future that bleakly stares.
(I tried to translate it in a way that makes it rhyme in English. )
What are things that mildly annoy you in SciFi?
So I am currently rewatching Stargate SG1 and thinking about certain things that always rub me the wrong way when watching or reading SciFi. Now, I know that Stargate in particular doesn't really take itself too seriously and shouldn't be scrutinized too much. It's also a bit older. But there are still some things that even modern SciFi-Worlds featuring outer space and aliens have or lack, that always slightly rub me the wrong way. I would love to hear your opinion.
- Lack of any form of camera surveillance technology
I mean, come on, the Goa'uld couldn't figure out a way to install their equivalent of cameras all over their battle ships in order to monitor it? They have forms of video/picture transmitting technology. Star Trek also seems to lack any form of video surveillance. (I'm not up to date with the newest series.) Yes, I get that having a crew member physically go to a cargo bay and check out the situation is better for dramatic purposes. But it always rubs me the wrong way
