That's a fair mindset. On the other hand some of us grew up in the shittiest poo poo holes like Erzgebirge or the dark heart of the Ruhrmetropole so you kinda give us, I mean uh those people, something to cling onto

Yeah the Christmas market post was good. I like Christmas markets, unfortunately my partner really doesn't. Would like to go to Aachen of Cologne again. Here in the Netherlands Christmas means you get to deep fry a piece of stale dough and stand in the rain. I miss standing around with spices wine and looking at seas of handcrafted stuff I'd never buy for myself.

nawilo_420 posted:The system of Krankschreibung perfectly encapsulates german culture in that it shows you that it is simply impossible for germans to be adults and use common sense for anything, so everything has to be enshrined in laws and rules, and then all those laws and rules get abused to hell and back. As a consequence of this they never learn to just be normal without having rules to tell them what that means, so it's a never ending spiral. see also: Ruhezeit Unlike the Dutch of course, as we see them rationally elect a new government to democratically solve their problems

Happy Christmas Eve everyone. If you're having a great year I hope you can take this moment to savour it. If you're having a poo poo year I hope you can take this moment to recharge a bit.

Deutschgoons, I need some practical advice from people who understand snail mail. I need to send an Einschreiben to the Postbank. On their website, it just states the address below. Does the Post actually manage to find this? Postbank Privatkunden 53245 Bonn (https://www.postbank.de/privatkunden/services/kontakt.html#expand=postanschriften)

Libluini posted:I'm assuming you're not posting from a ship on the North Sea, so that's not really impressive, Fax in the less wet parts of Deutschland has been internet-only for years now. Well it's also the first Fax I've sent since I was like 7 years old -- I've spent about half my life outside of the homeland now, and I feel my ancestors smiling upon me. Like this but with a Fax machine in the sky:  Hopper posted:Remember how I told you my Christmas imploded because mom got covid? I was visiting family these days. I'm sick, just a little bit but still. They're sick, and post-operation and can't have any infections. "Why are you wearing a mask?!" But also random respiratory diseases are wildly out of control this season.

Hopper posted:PSA: I am currently trying to sift through my father in laws possesions, because he is in a care home and severely demented and MIL is moving into a smaller place. I'm sorry you have to go through that. Sis and I did a similar thing last year when our father passed. I hope that this will bring the family closer together for you. Our dad was pretty organized so contracts weren't the problem. But figuring out how to coordinate with his Privatversicherung over his hundreds of thousands of euros of medical bills was a nightmare. And it took us a year to actually have legal access to his bank account, but that was due to Postbank being a piece of poo poo and only working when you get the Ombudsman involved. Result of that exercise is that I have a draft of a will plus I'm organizing my agreements, possessions as easily as possible.

When the drug tourists stop coming Amsterdam they will be replaced by urbanists who soyface at trams and bike lanes

When I was doing Zivi I would make a stop at home on my delivery route just to make sure my factories were still working. I can't fall into that rabbit again man. Those spreadsheets. Getting laughed at on the forums because *obviously* you can't play this game without the right mods, who'd be so stupid. That weird loving in game programming / console language for your ships Oh god oh no

There will never be a big game development scene in Germany because German culture seems anything playful to be insincere and uncouth. If it's not in a textbook approved in 1975 it won't be done. The only thing we can hope for are spreadsheets visualized in a 3d engine. Or police simulator.

People explaining jokes and people being overly smug and self-righteous are both quintessentially German and thread-appropriate.
