I can understand your perspective, but I want to offer an alternative view, maybe less bound to societal preconceptions. I married my partner for many reasons, financial, wanting to raise a child together, wanting to share my life with them… But staying married for the rest of our lives is a crazy concept for us. The marriage has its purposes, but we both know that life can change and that we could decide that we had a good time, and that now the time has come to move on. A marriage is less romanticised for us, it has practical reasons. I guess being polyamorous helps with defining new relationship ideas on many levels ;)

Well, in German we say “bitte” or “gern geschehen”, which is close to the “welcome”. Of course, people can and do also say “kein Problem”. I guess in my experience it depends on how I feel about the task and the person I did it for.

Kleo ist super :)

Your comment made me think of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQDdmobnGcw I don’t know if it really fits your case, but the general message of men oftentimes not learning to keep up social relationships and that it sometimes huts them in the long run might be something to be aware of :)

Regarding “Love on the spectrum”, I found these videos very insightful:

Thank you, I didn’t know the song and I am deeply moved by it ❤️

I heard of Street Epistemology as a concept to lead those questioning conversations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1e4HZfHSRQ

In my experience it is simply necessary to prevent oxygen to get back into you jar, as oxygen is what is needed for mold to develop. In regards to pressure recommendations, I am not of much help, I like to use old preserving jars with a rubber band between jar and lid, that allowes pressure to get out without oxygen getting in.

Thanks to your comment I finally understood, why I always had an aversion to competitive games. No joy in winning/destroying another, so much frustration when I lose.

Oh, good point! I will take that into consideration! Thank you! :)

I don’t know Primewire, so I’m just leaving you the websites of the German public broadcasters here, they rarely have mainstream popular stuff, but maybe something fits your need:

• https://www.zdf.de/
• https://www.ardmediathek.de/
• https://www.arte.tv/en/

If you want to download or watch those productions on mobile, I can recommend https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.christinecoenen.code.zapp

Imho, a good visualisation for the difference between a million and a billion is in this Tom Scott video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YUWDrLazCg

Übrigens, wer es nicht mitbekommen hat: Schwarzfahren soll bald keine Straftat mehr sein 🥳https://www.zdf.de/nachrichten/panorama/kriminalitaet/schwarzfahren-straftat-ordnungswidrigkeit-buschmann-100.html

Ich feiere das, was ihr geschafft habt, und es gibt mir ein Gefühl von Verbundenheit. Wir bekommen Positives vermutlich zu wenig mit, dabei gibt es so viele, die sich stark machen! Ich sende dir eine Umarmung!

Ich werde auch im Ernstfall in Deutschland bleiben, ich möchte dieses schöne Land nicht aufgeben, nur weil ein paar laute Menschen es in den Abgrund ziehen.

I like to use Anki with some shared card decks: https://ankiweb.net/shared/decks?search=german

The learning pattern that Anki has configured by default suites me quite well and the app and the card deck is highly customizable.

Mind you, this is mostly only for learning vocabulary, not for learning grammer.

I don’t know if this will keep the labels, but you can try to sync your contacts via DAVx5 to your nextcloud instance. Use https://f-droid.org/packages/at.bitfire.davdroid on both phones, this app syncs calendars, contacts and notes. In the setup it should be enough to login via URL and credentials. If you run into problems with this setup, let me know, I can try to assist you :)

Once you got that set up, it is a neat way to keep your contacts backed up and synced with other devices like a PC. If you want to dive further into the syncing without relying on Nextcloud, I recommend Baikal.

Good luck!

Danke :)

War bei mir genauso, ich habe vor mehreren Wochen probiert, eine Impfung zu bekommen, aber wurde abgewiesen mit dem Hinweis, dass es nur für bestimmte Personengruppen möglich ist. Tja, jetzt lieg ich seit Montag flach mit dem scheiß und könnte gerade fluchen, dass ich mir nicht einfach eine Begründung ausgedacht habe. Aber ich dachte mir halt auch: “ist wahrscheinlich sinnvoll so, vielleicht gibt es zu wenig Impfstoff oder so…”
