I mean just look at the high gas prices (which are still dirt cheap compared to germany) and people don't realize it is Trumps doing. Or how he slashes Medicaid. Things that are really perceivable in your everyday live and not abstract politics.

So yeah, totally believable that a lot of those people fall for this kinda news.

Wait, so you have to take vacation days for jury duty? Your employer doesn't have to give you leave? That's fucked up lol. Every time I think the US couldn't be more fucked than it already is, I get proven wrong lol.

Do you only swipe right on the really hot looking guys? Cos then that's to be expected, unfortunately. I could imagine that going for rather average looking guys might help. Cos the average guy ain't getting a lot of matches, so we are happy over basically any match at all, let alone one that puts effort into a conversation.

My work laptop is even older, it still features an RJ45-Ethernet port. As a network admin, it's really useful.

Maybe that's how it looks in the US. US-Americans don't consume natural things lol.

Latte is the german word for 'slat', so sth akin to a plank of wood. Both have in common that they are hard and rather long, so there you go.

Yeah, no. In this case it is much more likely a failure of the parents, prolly cos they didn't bother to integrate and learn the native language, leading to the fact that at home the perpetrator didn't learn to speak german and likely only learned it when he got into school. Of course then making friends is a lot more difficult, and so the foreign kids stick with oneanother, and not talking german between them, making learning german and integrating even more difficult.

You can literally see this in a lot of elementary schools where the proportion of migrant kids is really high.
