Can anyone explain why so many Germans seem to have zero spatial self-awareness?
Like — standing in the middle of narrow passages, blocking sidewalks or doorways, getting stuck in crowded spaces, standing 2 cm from someone doing an exercise at the gym, etc.
Is this cultural, or am I just unlucky?

Creating new content is an act of moral depravity.
All bloggers and influencers should be gently escorted off the digital stage — preferably into a volcano — for their tireless efforts in cluttering the information ecosystem, manufacturing noise, and hijacking our attention with artisanal nonsense.

As someone who grew up interested in both Western and Eastern philosophies, I can say that Western philosophy never helped me in life.
On the contrary, it only boosted my overthinking, disconnected me from my feelings and my body, and contributed to my collection of mental issues.

It’s still deeply unsettling how Americans are offering no resistance to the rapid transformation of their country into a dictatorship.
Perhaps this is a side effect of democracy—people place too much faith in democratic institutions.

I’m from Russia. When I fled Russia in 2022, I had to move between visa-free countries with almost no money or survival plan. I was basically internationally homeless. All my bank cards were blocked due to Western sanctions.
Back then, Americans on Twitter were happy and wrote me spiteful comments.

I absolutely hate Germany. Moving here was the biggest mistake of my life.
The worst part is the cold and soulless people who live here.
I have never felt so lonely. I'm living in total isolation. I have absolutely no one to talk to.
It's impossible to make friends or even acquaintances here.

Thanksgiving
Today is a special day for Americans:
They gather with their entire family to eat a dry turkey and thank the Lord for invading someone else's land, killing almost all of the local inhabitants, and then living happily ever after.

Frankly, I think humanity needs garlic-flavored toothpaste.
I'd like to apologize for my overtly garlicky breath, which I'm sure you've noticed this morning. I am sorry.

Mental health isn't a simple "just take pills" solution.
For many, it's a painful lifetime trip. A marathon of pharmaceutical roulette. Years of failed meds, endless doctor visits - trying everything, only to end up where you started.
It's not a quick fix, but a grueling, hopeless odyssey.

Some people on bluesky be like 'i had 200k followers on twitter' the same way that one guy at every party talks about being quarterback in high school.

Well, sometimes hopes and dreams are the only thing people have
Once people turn 32 it’s ok to start being brutally honest with them about what you think of their hopes and dreams

Ironically, the gay community's obsession with sex ultimately led me to reject sexuality altogether.
The hypersexualization and impossible body standards created so much trauma that retreating became the only way to cope.

Everyone on TikTok is talking about aliens and UFOs being real, but I can't focus on potential alien invasion when the far right is rising and döner prices hit €10.

There's a special kind of heartache in being a refugee
It's watching others effortlessly have what you must fight endlessly to achieve. It's fighting for basic things that others take for granted simply by virtue of where they were born.
The exhaustion of this never fades. Neither does the sadness

I have been learning German for several hours every day for six months. I have a B1 exam in two months.
I still can't believe that this is a real language and that people actually speak it.

They say I'm gay but I'm the wrong kind: basically celibate, partyless, loveless. Too depressed. Too traumatized by men to feel like one, too distant to belong. A gay alien watching life through frosted glass, wanting but never having.
