  • I have no idea about the damage and expected costs so I can only judge from a psychological site:

    A wise woman (my psychology teacher when I was in school) once told me that when you think about if you should spend money on something that brings you happy memories, you should just do it because those happy memories are what makes you feel happy at the end of your life (and helps you when you are going through a rough time).

    So while it likely is the better financial decision to get a new bike, you’ll always remember fixing your bike and keeping it going. It’s something you achieve. It makes your bike special, it’ll make the memories you make with your repaired bike special. You’re of course spending money on repairing and maintaining your bike, but at the same time that money goes into good memories.

    *assuming you fix it yourself. If you just let someone else repair it that special effect won’t be there










  • nach gerade einmal 90 Minuten auf, weil für einen der Redner in Deutschland ein Betätigungsverbot gilt. Der palästinensische Autor Salman Abu Sitta, dem Nähe zur Hamas unterstellt wird, war in der Vergangenheit immer wieder mit Hasstiraden gegen Israel und Juden aufgefallen.

    Ein weiterer Grund sei purer Sadismus der Beamtinnen und Beamten, ergänzte eine Zuhörerin. „Die haben schon Bock darauf, Linke zu verhauen.“

    So seien im Protestzug mit Sicherheit unzählige „Zivilbullen“ unterwegs, die mitunter selbst zu Ausschreitungen aufstacheln würden, war ein Zuhörer überzeugt.

    Und auch unter den Festgenommenen würden sich Personen befinden, „die eigentlich für die Polizei arbeiten und euch aushorchen“, warnte eine Teilnehmerin.

    Das Schweigegebot gelte auch gegenüber Ärztinnen und Ärzten im Krankenhaus. „Die arbeiten oft mit der Polizei zusammen“, so die These der Moderatorin, die ebenfalls keines Belegs bedurfte, um Zustimmung zu finden.

    Ganz dezent von Verfolgungswahn und Realitätsfremde geprägt… Kann man nicht mehr ernst nehmen.




  • There are good reasons to go to Germany, like relatively high salaries (it always depends on where you’re comparing. At least in the fields I’m about to work in you earn significantly more in Germany than in Austria), high security, good schools and universities, … (similar to Austria in that regard, maybe slightly worse).

    The only reason against Europe in general is that you pay a lot for mandatory purchases (a home (doesn’t matter if rented or bought), groceries, …). Personally I still prefer that over cheaper costs of living but less security, worse child- and healthcare etc. but something has to change, because it’s only getting more extreme.

    If the development of 50 years ago to today will continue for the next 50 years something like a civil war is inevitable.



  • It’s not like antisemitism prevented people from supporting the NSDAP (in many cases the opposite). Sure, when they were elected they didn’t know what to do with Jews yet, but antisemitism was one of the pillars of their philosophy (if the people are unhappy you have to take responsibility or simply point at someone and say “they are responsible, it’s their fault”) and antisemitism has existed since forever. (Of course there were not only Jews in concentration camps but they were initially made for them).

    And sadly antisemitism still exists today in many areas of the world.
