Ich habe LC Dolida zum schlafen und bin damit sehr zufrieden. Sitzen sehr gut und bequem. Für Sprache allemal ausreichende Qualität.

I graduated with my first master degree in 2014 before AI. Now I’m studying again in a different field and it’s so shocking how many will use AI. I had to do a group project with a guy who openly admitted to using Chat GPT to write all his chapters. I tried to argue with him. His stance was “Who cares, it works. Writing all those paragraphs by myself is too tedious.” At least I could convince him to change the wording enough to not flag it. But it’s so shocking how lazy people have become.

Just keep telling her she’s awesome. Don’t focus on the legs, just tell her all the things you love about her. And if she directly asks you about them, don’t make it a big deal. Just say “I don’t care, you’re beautiful.” For me the best thing my husband did was to counter the constant onslaught of beauty standards over media by telling me every day what he loves about me and how cool he thinks I am.

Don’t worry, they’ll have forgotten all about it by Friday.

I’ve been abused (physically and mentally) by my parents and bullied at school. I can obviously only talk about myself, but maybe my experience helps you.

Understanding, that those people will never care or feel guilt, is hard. Especially when you were abused as a child and hoped for a happy end. Actively trying to get over it also didn’t work very well for me. For me the best thing to do was focus on other things: find friends, find hobbies, do whatever you always wanted to do (I started wearing clothes I was forbidden to wear and practicing hobbies that were ridiculed).

Just fill your life with things you like and the bullies and abusers will become smaller and smaller.

Therapy is a good start to help you with this and question yourself, who you are and who you want to be.

Thank you so much. Yes, like 70% of my department will retire within the next 8 years. Most studied together and have formed a group that won’t let new people in. New hires usually don’t stay. So it’s not a good company either way. Still sucks. My husband and I are also looking into moving to a smaller city, so this is at least a good chance to look for jobs somewhere else.

So far job hunting isn’t going well. Mostly because everybody is looking for seniors. I was in contact with a couple of recruiters, but most told me they only have jobs for more experienced people or tell me they’ll see what they can do and then never contact me again… I have a call with a recruiter on Thursday so we’ll see.

On the plus side, my husband and I just booked our vacation and a spa hotel in June, so there’s something to look forward to.

No, it didn’t cover anything, it was really just the lines for the character. I don’t think you could cover much under it other than a very tiny tattoo.

I need to write applications because my contract is going to end in July. The job market here is shit, everybody is only looking for senior staff and I only have 3 years experience in my field. It’s also heavily male dominated and I absolutely hate the working culture. My boss basically told me they won’t keep me even though I did a good job with my project because I “don’t fit in with the company culture”. As examples he mentioned several instances of me suggesting to use other methods or tools that I had successfully used at other companies. We had so much trouble with the project mostly because communication was shit, but whenever I proposed better communication tools/methods (other than: get all 15 project members into a three hour long meeting twice a week), I was told that “we don’t do that here”, “this is just how it works at this company”.

I am so annoyed, exhausted, pissed and so done with working with fragile people who’ll blow up an entire project because their ego is bruised. They get to sulk and not do their job because they don’t like that I communicate the customers schedule to them. They get to say they’ll do it “in their own time”. And I first get in trouble with the higher-ups for upsetting the customer because the project is late and THEN get in trouble with my team lead for being mean to the developers who want to work in their own time and would rather not be bothered by questions or requirement changes until the deadline. But hey, I’m the one who doesn’t fit in and gets booted.

I just wish I could find a job that doesn’t suck.

Maybe not quite as dumb as others here, but I once saw a woman in a sauna who had a GIANT 女 (woman) on her back. It went from the shoulders to the ass. I get finding Chinese characters cool and wanting them tattooed, but why on earth would you just tattoo “woman” instead of something meaningful and why so large it covers your entire back?

Ich find ja einen Blumenstrauß ab und an hübsch und freu mich auch, wenn er mir mitgebracht wird. Ich sehe aber ehrlich gesagt den Mehrwert eines eigene Blumenladens nicht. So viel Know-how braucht man nun nicht, um ein paar optisch ansprechende Blumen zusammenzubinden.

My entire life I’ve heard Americans lecture everyone how superior the US is because of all their rights, freedoms and “real democracy”. The freest country in the world! Look at the constitution and the bill of rights - the most democratic country EVER! Where are those Americans now?

If they only mimic me and have some knowledge based on what is on my phone/online, they probably don’t speak the same foreign languages as I on the same level. So I could authenticate myself by proving that I speak those languages.

That’s not true everywhere, my city has a pretty good meetup scene for various hobbies. However the amount of people who sell their useless courses as “meetup, but I will ask for a 20€ fee from everyone” or shady “we will talk about investing/crypto…” groups has gone up.

Nicht zu vergessen die Autofahrer, die die dann auf der Motorhaube haben. Ich bin in einem Dorf aufgewachsen, in dessen Nähe mehrere beliebte Motorradstrecken sind (kurvige, lange Landstraßen zwischen den Dörfern). An jeder Kurve musste man extrem bremsen im Sommer, um keinen Motorradfahrer auf der Haube zu haben. Der einzige Grund, warum ich nie einen Überfahren habe, ist der, dass ich auf bestimmten, besonders kurvigen Landstraßen durchgehend 50 gefahren bin und immer bereit war für die Vollbremsung. Beinahe-Unfälle hatte ich im Sommer wöchentlich. Die Kreuze am Wegrand waren auch echt und ich kannte sogar eine Familie, die Weggezogen ist, weil das Haus direkt an einer engen Kurve an der Landstraße lag und sie viel zu oft diejenigen waren, die den Krankenwagen rufen mussten.

Tom Cruise I just don’t like anything about him

Will Smith, because he’s annoyed me in every role after Prince of Bel Air

Try out things. What you like to do isn’t always just something you always dreamed about. Finding a job you’re good at will make you like it. That doesn’t have to be something connected to a school subject. I was always very organized and I found out that I like working in project management. Had you told me in school about this job I’d probably have said it sounds boring. But I tried it by chance and it’s actually very satisfying because I get to plan and organize.

You’ll never know if you don’t try. Get an entry level job, even if you don’t like it you might find out that you like certain aspects of it and get a better idea of what you like in a job.

I’m forty, so a different generation than your parents, but I still grew up and had my first dating experiences before the internet. Online dating wasn’t really a thing here until I was in my early twenties.

At least where I grew up the guys who randomly approached girls to ask them out were seen as creepy even back in the 90s. I and everyone I knew met partners through activities like sports clubs, parties, bars etc. (I’m not from the US, so people from my school started going to bars pretty early). While there wasn’t a big discourse around men approaching women in public (or none that reached my little town), we did have some guys in town who’d just walk up to girls on the street and ask them out and the consensus was that they were weird and should be avoided.

I met all my partners so far through activities. My first boyfriend was a regular at the same student café and we ended up sitting next to each other during quiz night. I met guys I had dates with in uni - sitting next to each other during lectures and talking about the Prof, going to the same presentation or cooking night etc. None of them “approached me” in the sense of coming up to me and asking “can I have your number” with zero context. We chatted, had an interesting conversation. At the end we exchanged contact information to meet for a coffee, usually without any expectation of it being a date. When coffee went well, someone would ask the other out on a proper date. No approaching, no deciding within a few seconds wether you want to date someone. Just casually getting to know each other before asking for more.

I also met my husband that way. We went to the same event, talked, had a lot in common. We met the next day to continue a discussion about a certain topic we were both interested in. That’s when things started getting flirty and by the end we made plans to meet for a real date. I don’t even remember who asked whom, we were both heavily flirting with each by the time we talked about seeing each other again so it was very obvious the next meeting would be a date. He didn’t ask me out out of nowhere or hit on me, we were just getting to know new people and eventually we started flirted somewhere along the line.

It doesn’t have to be makeup, but caring for how you look can help you feel fly, too. A haircut that fits. Face treatments or creams with nice scents feel good. Finding the right products for you can make you feel good. I helped my husband find the right soap and shampoo for his skin and hair type, got him to use moisturizer and better shaving products. His acne that he had for years vanished completely, his skin is nice and smooth now and he feels so much better because all the dry skin was uncomfortable. He also goes to a barber shop now that massages his head and gives him a haircut and beard trimming and he loves having a little spa time.

It won’t magic magically cure your depression or reduce your weight, but it will help you feel better in your body.
