Couldn't put my bank account into the arbeitslosengeld system because I didn't have a high enough security level, even though I'd logged in with my BundID.
Went to the AfA and changed it. The guy didn't even look at my ID, just asked me for my DoB and address.

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.
And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.
No more.

Friends from the US are posting how much their health insurance is going to be in the next year, seeing numbers like $4000/month for a family of 4.
Our family of 3 pays 416€/month, and if I made less, it'd be less.

One of the greatest cultural phenomena to come out of the UK in the past decade have been the Great British $HOBBY$ shows. I'm currently binging the The Sewing Bee and it's honey for my blackened soul.

One of the funnier things I experience as a Varsovian is having Berliners tell me how bad the winter is in Berlin. Guys, your air doesn't even smell like burning plastic, what are you talking about?

Do sewing machine manufacturers have some sort of under-the-table dear with the Great British Sewing Bee? Cause I own a machine and even so I want to upgrade it.

It's weird having a smart kid. I don't want to be one of those, "oh, my kid is a genius" parents but also she has a 1.0 average in German public school, which she started basically unable to hold a conversation in German.

EU English has a growing number of its own native speakers by now too, kids of international EU couples where English is the main household language but is not the native language of either parent. It’s not a huge population but growing especially in major EU capitals. My own nephew is one.

A good way to get excellent child raising pointers is to ask the shittiest parents you know for advice and then doing the opposite.
