I usually bike around #Berlin, but the last two times I used the #BVG, I’m pretty sure I saw the same guy “accidentally” bumping into women. Both times on the U2.
I think it was the same guy, and I think both times were on purpose.
But you could also argue they were accidents.

New post, about micromanagement and how I try to avoid it.
Also some anecdotes about storms and farms, and lots of analogies with farms and trees.
Have you been on either side of micromanagement? I’d love to hear your take

Hard to wrap my head around the fact that 1 in 5 voters in Germany think they will be better off if I would not live and work here.
🤡 they voted for the AFD for different reasons. At the end of the day, migration and foreigners is a big part of their agenda.
4 in 5 do want me here (or don't care)

Google has been adjusting its data to the country where it is shown for a looong time.
