There were many events over the last few years that brought us closer to a potential WW3, but I don’t think the market crash will play a major role in that regard, no.

The jobs you list would definitely not fall under the common definition of unskilled labor. Most of them are trades.

Aside from London (where I didn’t really talk to anyone but my sister who lives there), I spent 2 weeks traveling solo by train around England, staying in Bath, Shrewsbury, York and Scarborough and visiting some of the surrounding towns and villages. I’m sure it helped that it’s a country where I have a good grasp of the local language unlike, say, Italy, where I could barely make myself understood. But I had lots of random friendly conversations with strangers in the UK and no negative experiences at all. Way more friendly than the average German for sure.

Big-city people are generally less friendly, so I do believe you that it’s a different matter for London. It’s the same for e.g. Tokyo, where people are way more cold than in the rest of Japan. And I guess you get a different perspective as a local than as a visitor. Several people in this thread have mentioned Germany, which does surprise me as a German.

Japan, China and the UK were the friendliest I’ve been so far. I’m German.

No, it’s obviously the Matrix out to get you. /s

You asked a bad faith question, using a derogatory slur no less.

For me it would probably be Denmark. Generally speaking, Danish people seem more laid-back. Great cycling infrastructure. Access to the sea. Good climate.

Funny you’d say that, as we actually get what we call “Nosferatu spiders” in Germany quite often in our house. I don’t really mind them though, the occasional mosquito is much more annoying. We have nets on some of the windows though.

Basically keeping all the windows open through the night and closing them in the morning. I also sleep upstairs directly below the roof during the colder months, but move to the ground floor in summer, where it gets much less hot.

I think everyone should get banned from X. Consider yourself lucky to be rid of the site.

But also, yes, I think your ban would have been justified on any other platform as well.

Aside from being a military dictatorship in a civil war, I know that it has some very beautiful buddhist temples.

40 hours but actually less than that when you exclude activities like getting coffee or answering questions on AskLemmy. Software development.

Michael MJD: Retro tech youtuber with a very calming voice and video style. Often installs operating systems on unusual devices.

Techmoan: Tech youtuber focused on old audio equipment.

Ashens: British Youtuber, who has been reviewing mostly poundshop tat and occasionally other random items in front of a brown sofa since 2006.

Geowizard: British Youtuber who does online Geography quizzes like Geoguessr and sometimes goes on adventures. The former part is probably more relevant to your question, though even his adventures have a nice, calm narration and music (that he wrote himself).

The Trek Planner: Finds interesting spots on Google Earth and hikes there, usually in the deserts of the Western US. Videos are usually more focused on the journey than the destination, so there will always be lots of nice views of nature. Honorable mention also to Desert Drifter, who did similar videos but unfortunately passed away recently.

Assuming the daughter is an adult: I’d talk to her about it but otherwise not get involved. It’s up to her to choose her relationships. There are also people who aren’t together anymore even though they’re still married, or are in an open relationship, so it’s not something to automatically condemn.

Not when it’s about sitewide policies. (Like reddit banning “Luigi” etc)

There is definitely a point where it’s beneficial to have a rest and continue learning and/or write the exam the next day in a well-rested state.

Was also going to write that. Best perk there is. It saves money and time for both me and the company.

Doing good feels good. Our brains are wired for cooperation. I think most evil people are miserable.

Dashcams are legally controversial in Germany. Generally the common opinion is that they’re only allowed if they quickly delete all recorded data and only save it if there was an actual accident.

The problem with a bodycam is that while it’s allowed to film in public, it’s not allowed to film specific people without their permission. So it would be fine to film a busy street without focusing on any people in particular, but going into a store with your bodycam where it would film your interaction with the cashier would be illegal.

No, as that would be illegal in many situations in my country. I also don’t want cameras pointed at me constantly, so I don’t do that to other people either.
