Nah, by all accounts, if manned by competent and motivated people, they work quite well. However, that is a big if in recent conflicts.

Mine told me to take a shower and put on a clean t-shirt. I cannot say he wasn’t right :)

But I get what you mean.

I would say that that is a legitimate concern of a parent who wants their child to have a “normal” life. Badly worded, of course.

I think a lot of them, actually. Germany certainly does.

My condolences for moving to Crackfurt.

OK, be concerned. Now, please tell me how to be better. I am the first to admit that I suck at inter-personal things.

Let’s say you are hanging out with a good friend, it is late in the evening, and they tell you about some fucked up shit happening to them.

“That sucks, man hang in there,” doesn’t quite cut it, as someone else pointed out, no solution you can up with in five minutes is going to help them, and just awkward silence is awkward to both of you.

What do you do?

Genuine question, how would you wish a good friend/partner would react?

Not the place, my dude

Damn, I should go to cooler trade fairs. Last time I was on a fair with Diehl, they didn’t even hand out stuff :(
