Not really. I migrated from South America to Europe a couple of years ago and I didn't suffer any shock --- of course there are some differences, but I believe since both are western cultures the things in common dampen most of the sho

I feel that what has helped me a lot with any sense of doubt about my capabilities is assisting and mentoring junior/mid-level developers; you really get a reality check on how much you've learned over the years.

As someone who currently plays League of Legends, my question is: What's the difference between this service and using op.gg (they have a client similar to yours) and porofesor? As far as I know, op.gg doesn't have any freemium fe

gun laws are not that strong in Germany actually, they are just strong in the sense that you cannot carry/own without a license, but for collection purposes I'd say they are even lighter than the US' in some aspects. this vid

I don't think that's necessarily the case. With that criteria, the concept of a society without money at all would also be a 'non left wing' position, and I don't think that's the case. Decentralised currency d

How can a concept such as 'decentralised currency' be inherently right wing? It's like calling mathematics or even chocolate milk right wing.

in Germany this is also extremely common. I really don't know what the commenter means by the west, I'd assume after office drinking is also normal in the US?

Even if you read only American news it does not seem like a good place to live in. This is coming from an immigrant who chose the EU over the US by the way.

I was being cheeky, but it's hardly a valid equivalent. It's only equivalent in the sense that she's the head of the executive power, but in reality by design the system gives a chancellor way less power than a president has.

Of course. Although his run was upheld by the supreme court (which is biased towards his party), there was a referendum held the year before which basically asked 'should Evo be allowed to run again, although it's currently uncons

Angela Merkel is not president of Germany. It's funny you mention this since I lived in South America for most of my life and only recently moved to Germany, so I can see the differences in the way things are done over there and over h

That's just a slippery slope fallacy. The holocaust is a non-recent and well documented event, and its denial is clearly a masquerade for hateful speech. Holocaust denial is outlawed in Germany for good reasons. Not to mention Facebook

Maps, for starters. Sometimes I wonder how I would have fared if I had started international travel before smartphones were a thing. Hell, my daily life would be straight up impossible.
