Oliwan is indeed right, but come on, I’ve already significantly reduced my meat intake. Plz don’t force me to do more. Also, that question about real vacations didn’t come from a particularly bougie friend - reminder that on average, every Swiss person flies 9000 Km every year, so if you don’t fly at all you’re gonna stick out. Nothing bougie-bubbly about that.

I'm sitting in the Ruhebereich and despite that I have to put up with a bunch of olds having someone loudly explain the seat reservation situation to them over and over. Train travel is actually hell + I need to motorize myself and face to Autobahn.

Have you heard of headphones and/or laughing at the misfortune of others silently while also posting about it on the internet? (I'm sure the Germans have a word for that)

I stopped booking Ruhebereich because every single time there's some rear end in a top hat loudly talking on the phone or some idiot parents with their screaming offspring and the German in me wants to go full Blitzkrieg on them so better just book the regular area where it's the same but without the added annoyance

Train travel is actually hell + I need to motorize myself and face to Autobahn. Also, the best cars in a train are: The one next to the bicycle end car, most people overlook it; the bicycle car itself, usually it's quite empty, and if it's full you can snag a seat in the bike area and get more leg room than you'll ever need.

Mithaldu posted:Ah, distributions was the relevant term. Thanks. Yeah, bicycle car is usually the Geheimtipp, especially if you can get a corner seat so you've got a wall to lean against. Having actual leg room more than makes up for not having much of a backrest, and it tends to be among the emptiest. Of course the flip side is that it's double hell during rush hour with everybody rear end to ankles.

Zwille posted:You gotta do the calculation with a BahnCard 100 in mind, if you do 100 trips Berlin-Munich a year (like Wochenendpendeln) you quickly reach 30-40 euros per trip, basically the same as fuel cost for car travel in your calculation. No taxes, no need to buy a car, no maintenance etc. etc. basically you come ahead with a BC 100. But common, who does 50 1200 km private trips per year? That's such an edge case and if I had to make up a statistic I'd say that >98.3% of all private Bahn travellers are below that mileage. And even at cost parity, you still have a car in the diesel scenario that you can use for everyday activities. What can you do with a Bahncard 100 except long distance travel and making cocaine lines? All I'm saying is that Bahn travel is way too expensive due to Soziale Verantwortung of the Bahn, so the state should subsidize it more. Also, car travel is way too cheap and the costs do not reflect the externalities. It should be made much more expensive through fuel taxes(but lmao at that idea after watching what is happening in France) oliwan posted:This one is for Wengy and all the other non-vegans telling other people to reduce their flights: As much as I like eating meat once a week and hate agreeing with oliwan, this is actually true. Although you get greatly diminishing returns after quitting beef and probably not that much of a gain going from vegetarian to vegan so there is no reason to go full fanatic about it(also, I could never quit avocado, the fruit of life).

I have fancy noise canceling headphones somewhere in the depths of my overloaded backpack, but complaining is more fun. Also I had no idea there's a bicycle car, I gotta look into that! Edit: Can someone look up how environmentally dangerous eating chicken is, on a scale from veganism to cows? Is it like halfway in-between?

Döner with Hühnerfleisch? Edit: some guy in this train car just complained to the Bahn guy about the children making noises in the Ruhebereich and now I'm down with being loud in here just to distance myself from him. Vanadium fucked around with this message at 14:03 on Jan 6, 2019 |

No one gives a poo poo about the Ruhebereich, it's just a convenient sign to point to if you want a gaggle of middle-aged ladies to stop showing each other "funny" videos on their phones at high volume without coming right out and saying it's because their videos are garbage.

The smoking cars used to be the real quiet room in trains. But that was also when handys weren't as common as today.

Just noticed they actually do have the English term on the doors, too, and "quiet zone" sounds a lot more ominous than "Ruhebereich" imo.

Write up the name of the Zugbegleiter who refuses to eject the parent and its unruly trashbag accessory. There is always the chance somebody at headquarters will listen to such a complaint and gently caress over the dude who refuses to do his job.

Ruhebereich technically just means you should not make phone calls. Because I guess demanding that children be silent is not allowed, and technically drunken shouting and playing music is not allowed anywhere on the train.

Abteil im Ruhebereich ist das Beste, bei maximal 6 Leuten ist der soziale Druck die Klappe zu halten deutlich höher.

german children are the most pampered and the most loud out of all the countries i have lived in. honestly, just tell them to shut up? why do german parents just let the kids do whatever the gently caress they want in social situations? Also, parents always seem to give me stink eye or actually start arguing when i tell children that they should leave me in ruhe here in germany. my favourite anecdote about precious german children is this. i was walking down a gehweg, minding my own business, when a daddy with 4 kids comes walking toward me on the same gehweg. they take all the space available and i'm on my own walking on the right, so i wrongfully assumed that they would make some space. they didnt, so when were are about 2 meters apart and on collision course I just stop, so that the kids can walk past me. they don't pay attention and one walks squarely into me and looks at me like it saw a ghost. i look towards the daddy so that he can say sorry or something, or use the situation to teach the kid about watching out. instead he he yells at me: BIST DU BESCHEUERT??? DAS SIND KINDER!!!. i couldn't do anything but think wtf is wrong with these parents. i also notice this in school btw. german kids are by far the least responsible and independent students i have taught. in the netherlands i could easily leave a grade 7 alone in a classroom, they would just work and do their thing. same goes for international classes. however, german kids in general will do gently caress all when not under supervision, or when they don't have a pen, or paper, etc. they have to be policed all the time, and the only thing that works with them is being a rules-horny policeman. its exhausting. learn some responsibility ffs, WITHOUT having to rely on rules.

Personally I fully and completely agree with the unquestionable fact that a certain nationality comes along with special hardwired character traits that cannot be changed due to the essence of having that certain nationality. Thanks for sharing your story.
