On dating apps it seems to be common practice to only chat with verified profiles, due to the large number of fake and scam profiles.

But here there doesn't seem to be such pressure yet,as you said.

When your profile had verification I would know that... you run through some process to verify you are someone I don't know that uses a user name which may or may not match your real name. It's important, I guess.

Watching Season 4 of Stranger Things I already had the impression they should have ended it after Season 3.

Yeah, it's a tricky concept. I'd assume when generational trauma exist, it would only be fair to declare generational guilt. Though not as individual guilt, but as the responsibility of the society.

And obviously it helps to classify the world and tell jokes. ;)

I'd say fuck your Polish self... but I guess us Germans kinda deserve it. 😄

Was ist die Jungle World denn für ein fragwürdiges Magazin? Haben die sich jemals kritisch zum Genozid geäußert, oder ist es ihre einzige Mission Israel von jeglicher Kritik freizusprechen?

Restaurants often don't hand you a proper qualified invoice (which is numbered and enters the balance), but instead a "draft" (which looks almost the same, but never shows up on their balance).

Only when paying by card, you create a papertrail and ensure this income will be taxed.

While this might be a reason why some people prefer paying with cash, that's definitely not the reason why business don't accept an alternative.

A taxi driver once told me bluntly: "I already invoiced 1000€ in card payments this month, therefore I only accept cash now."

Evading taxes is so much easier, when taking only cash!

(imo the main reason why most German restaurants, bars, taxis and kiosks still insist on cash.)

Take a break, get up from your desk, go out for a walk!

I prefer using the default let! - but declare them first in a block separated by blank lines from the let statements (below) and the optional subject statement (above). I find those specs very readable and keep the optional before blocks shorter.

In Germany we say: "Der Klügere gibt nach". (~ The smarter one relents.)

In that sense I applaud 👏🏽 your choices. Thanks for everything so far!

Not sure about the current state of Postman, but in the past you could avoid dependency to their servers by not using a Postman account. Obviously you are missing out on some features then.

wodurch die Kritik an dem Staat der einen Genozid begeht jederzeit unter Generalverdacht steht, genauso wie zu deutliche Solidaritätsbekundungen mit dem leidenden Volk.

Ich nehme es in anderen europäischen Ländern deutlich anders war und sehe auch unseren Kapitän auf "internationaler Linie".

Ich persönlich halte die ständigen Forderungen bei diesem Thema "Abbitte zu leisten" und das Offensichtliche erklären zu müssen für fragwürdig. Würde ich an seiner Stelle auch nicht drauf eingehen.

Ich finde es eher erschreckend, dass der #FCSP und viele Fans so krass auf "deutscher Linie" sind

The whole show was one large f'-up. I lost faith in Ruby Central to be a trustworthy steward and am relieved they no longer have the GH ownership of these projects.

Would handing those back to the former maintainers/owners still be an option? Didn't most of them declare to no longer work on them?

What if you are unsure if the banana slug wants to go to the left or right side?

Placing it on the wrong side might set it back by hours, make it miss all its appointments, and only lead to it trying to cross the same path again. 🤔
