The thing I find problematic is the line of what things to say at home, office and social media is pretty much non-existing (at least in my tech "bubble"). I rarely find anyone agreeing with me that politics should stay out of the

i was in a similar situation last year where my manager kinda pressured me to get in the rotation (paid of course) and nothing would convince me to wake up 3AM in the morning or have it in the back of my head while being out and about. I s

That's exactly right. It seems that your experience with health care will also depend on where you live in Germany.

I'd say it's relatively affordable if you are employed in a company (even though some things like dental care etc you'd have to pay for it yourself if you are doing more than two checkups per year afaik or basic filling) but

> Imagine paying 10%+ of your salary just for health insurance. In Germany it's 14% that is split between you and your employer, so I guess you'd have to all of that on your own if you are self-employed. Granted, you can also c

I went cold turkey. I live abroad, in one of my trips back home, I installed Telegram in my parent's phones and showed them how they can call me (mom started spamming me with stickers immediately), asked each friend that I met in perso

No that hasn't been done by the left before as far as I know. What i know though is that last summer the BLM protests were burning buildings and looting business, if that's not violence I have no clue what the hell is.

No. You're sick of seeing the one side you support being in the wrong and doing exactly what you despise in the opposite side. It makes one sick and fucking tired indeed.

not OP but I do wish that the lobster metaphor was the worst part of the book. I think Petereson is a great speaker and he makes interesting points but his writing drags on and on. I could hardly finish the 12 rules of life, although I thor

Everyone is blaming the Spotify algorithm for bad suggestions. I ran this test, it's my OWN TASTE that turns out to be bad according to this :( Jokes aside, I think this is a really neat toy with a great sense of humor

State pension won't be nearly enough to cover your living standards. You'd still pay insurance (less than before retirement though) and taxes off your pension. You still have to save on your own or go with an additional private pe

Tunisia seems to be the only country that had at least one thing positive out of the arab spring, which is a better level of democracy (already had 3 democratic elections in the past decade). Perhaps Tunisia isn't as diverse as Egypt,

Health care is not free. You a large part of your income for it (and other things too). Not free, and not an excellent one either.

This has been my experience. I have 25 vacation days, medical coverage is NOT free, as I pay it from my gross monthly income (around 400 euros per month) and waiting lists for an MRI are weeks or months long and generally it's very sup

Offtopic but this book changed the way I see things in many aspects of life. Funny how I came across it from a talk about abstractions in Clojure.

The goal in powerlifting and strongman, like any other sports, isn't well being of the performer, but winning and very often that comes at all costs. Your average desk-worker would benefit greatly from deadlifts with appropriate load a

He didn't call whites supremacists white people, if you listen to the rest of the sentence, he was referring to the protesters from BOTH sides that they are fine people. And then said that he condemns neo Nazis and white supremacists.

That was my exactly my experience. Many of those soccer team mates became the closest colleagues ive had largely BECAUSE of the time we spent winning and losing!

Yep - When I started cooking more meals and larger portions because I'm home most of the time and wanted to gain weight, I noticed that my kitchen is really suboptimal for this. Prepping breakfast and or a quick supper does the job,

I don't understand the down vote for this. If you're geographically away from your family and friends and need to stay in touch, there are other media for that and you don't need a whole solution like Facebook.

Strength is force production. Your muscles twitch and produce force to moves your bones which moves an external mass. Your body adapts to this external resistance by "over-compensating". This time you lift 100lbs, next time you ca

This is the thing I wish I knew before lifting - most of my wardrobe had to be changed within months, from underwear to winter coat.
