After one and a half years in Germany I’ve learned that the easiest way to horrify a German person is not to tell them that you’re Jewish but to say that you don’t like hiking.

Sometimes the Instructor in the workout video will say “feel free to make any modifications” and what they mean is like put your knees down during this plank but what I am doing is walking to the kitchen and making myself a snack

Each day on this site I learn a new reason why going to grad school in 🇩🇪 (and the mandatory German health insurance sign up that goes with it) has been basically the most financially responsible decision of my adult life
I just realized my non-US friends probably don't know how US insurance works.
So lets say your employer offers insurance. They pay a portion and then you pay a portion. For a family, the employee pays on average about $400 per pay cycle, or $10,400 per year.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The average U.S. worker with family coverage pays $5,969 towards employer-based health insurance, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation 2021 Employer Health Benefits Survey.

Like 90 percent of the time the correct take on something is just “that’s wild”
I saw that Royal Caribbean PR was trending and thought to myself oh no another blow to the cruise ship industry that’s tragic. I have now realized that they meant the British royal family and the recent PR trip to the Caribbean. My thoughts are the same.

There is something so camp about rich people who like to say they are “poor”. Like millionaires declaring bankruptcy to avoid property taxes on the 7th house ? Camp
Every time I try to use AirPlay or Cast I am immensely humbled. Beginning to think maybe that is the point of these options maybe they were never supposed to work

My mom told me she wanted new podcasts to listen to so I started playing one, she waited not even 10 seconds before hitting me with a “I hate it.” 🙃🤡 from the woman who told young me “how can you say you don’t like it if you never try?” Oh how the turntables ….

I’ve decided actually I think Tesla owners with sanctimonious electric car vanity plates should face additional taxes

Third named storm of the week rolling in ( Antonia 🇩🇪/ Franklin 🇬🇧) but thankfully my local German engineering is holding firm so far
Idk about anyone else but I am just not mentally prepared for this whole “covid is over in March” thing the politicians keep announcing.
Too many tech CEOs were clearly not children on the internet and are going to be thrown for a loop when their offspring hit like 10-16 and school them. Rooting for this iPad kid generation honestly.
