I think this is both easy on the sense that there are a lot of feasible options, and difficult in the sense of selecting the most suitable one for you. English alone opens up many places to you. But besides language, culture is a major factor. I remember a story about immigrants in Finland feeling excluded and had difficulties building social relationships. But in Finland, even the locals don’t have so many local friends. So, the way of life is just not suitable to many.

Other than that, try to see this not only as a negative thing, but also as an opportunity. Don’t just ask where you would do okay, but include questions like where you would feel comfortable.

Final thought: often the “most popular option” is not necessarily the best. In Europe, many countries that are not Germany or France are nice, sometimes the QoL is even higher. So, consider Austria besides Germany, for example.

If anything, shouldn’t they be the evens?

Paperless is the shit. Look it up. Document mess solved, self hosted, the mobile app comes with a scanner and cropping functionality

Two friends of mine are in a similar age difference range. One of the happiest couples I know. She is the younger one and a very beautiful person, but it’s not a sugar daddy relationship (they both have basically the same job). I think she also initiated this and is even more deeply into it than him.

Hope that helps

I recently reached the stage where katakana are worse because you kind of have to find out what they are supposed to mean to get the intonation right. Sometimes it’s freaking impossible without looking it up, like with オードブル

And you consider Japanese Kanji easy (context of the post)? What I heard from Chinese friends is that it’s just a chaotic mess

I also told my wife about my itchy knees and she go lookin’ in a hot jacuzzi.

(best I could improvise… The jacuzzi is a bit off though)

German certainly has a steep learning curve in the beginning, but I would argue it gets easier if you’re an advanced learner. Most more complex words are just compositions of easier words, pronunciation makes sense, the complex grammar quirks are either not used in everyday life or irrelevant (nobody cares if your say der, die, or das for any noun that’s not Nutella).

English on the other hand is easy to start but the learning curve never flattens. To pronounce a word correctly you often have to know the specific word beforehand or you’re lost (like with read, thyme, zealot, advertisement, …). To understand a new word you often have to look it up because compositional nouns are less common. That makes many new cool words but is less accessible.

Japanese Kanji are complicated. Ask a Chinese person learning Japanese, they will give you a good rant. Or ask a Japanese person who has been living abroad for a few years, they often forget many Kanji and have to relearn them. Main reason imho is that a lot of this has grown organically and the world has changed a lot over the past centuries, so many things would be done differently today.

It’s more likely that most people wouldn’t pass high school anymore

I haven’t heard of ads, but there was flattr which didn’t work out for some reason

Regular gym bro here, tried home gym for a while, didn’t work for me. Main issues are:

• progression, you have to increase difficulty over time which is difficult with no equipment
• equipment is fucking expensive, although it may pay off after a year or 2. Resistance bands may be an alternative but restrict you in other ways
• no pull exercises in my case, my house is fragile and I’d break things. Literally no place to attach anything to
• I ended up not training regularly anymore because it’s harder for me to maintain a routine like that. It’s helpful to have a separate space for that

Overall, if you spend several hours per week with exercising, I’d recommend you use proper equipment. It’s just so much nicer. Home gym can work if you have the space and routine, but not in my tiny ass apartment. Fortunately gyms are not as extractive where I live.

Also, exercise is great for you, don’t listen to the haters. Gym weirdly does it for me, although it’s the most boring shit. Other exercise like bouldering often even comes with other people so you can socialise.

Same issue elsewhere, eg Germany

Learn from post war Germany. There is no need to be proud of your country. It’s all made up anyway. What do I have to do with 5 basketball players or 11 football players or whatever who just happen to speak my language? How can I be “proud” of their achievements? Doesn’t make sense at all
