The guidelines in Germany say the first line of the screen should be 10cm (4 ½in) below your eyes. I find that uncomfortable, too.

C) Write a highly specific, custom-tailored boilerplate generator that does 80% of the work and needs only a day or two to implement.

Umm… I don’t know what happened, exactly. When I first clicked the link to get a bigger picture, I somehow ended up on imgur, which only had a very low-resolution version. I could only find the big picture in the linked reddit, so I posted it.

I cannot reproduce this issue anymore, so I removed my comment.

There’s a great section in the second Hitchhiker’s book about this exact topic – if anyone’s interested.

That mess is older than even the UK. The Ottoman Empire cobbled together peoples who didn’t have anything to do with each other way earlier.

Also office chairs with headrests, for whatever reason.

Don’t forget the invocation

I don’t want to have this conversation in any way. Why do social customs force me to endure it just because the other person feels the urge to talk?

It’s not small talk for 5 minutes. It’s “hey I gotta short question. Can you help me deorglefy the gnarflepoof I may or may not have installed on my computer or maybe my phone I can’t remember and now the power outlet won’t work anymore whenever I plug in my computer even when I register for the additional services with my ISP?”

Don’t. Even. Breathe.

Low oxygen. My blood pressure is rising. OMG CAN THEY HEAR MY HEART‽

Yet again, punctuation matters.

You guys got gloves recommended? For Germans it was only masks.

I didn’t know about the distinction between the two. After a 1-minute Wikipedia read I think you’re right.

If anyone were ever to work behind him on something they’re very familiar with, they’d have to tear it all down and rebuild it because he just invents his own way as he goes

That’s not the virtue you think it is.

Under the current system, recipients of social security get their rent paid according to an allowed flat size (e.g. 60m² for two people) and the regional average rent. Now “Lindner [head of the liberal party] wants to save billions using the new approach.” “Recipients should not get their rent covered based on the actual cost, but via a flat rate.” (paraphrased from https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/innenpolitik/lindner-buergergeld-ukrainer-100.html; German).

You can guess how well that will go with

it’s based on the average rent for the area,

and

there’s extra help for those struggling to find cheaper […] accommodation

Lindner is famous for his (paraphrased) statement “the markets will solve this”. Rents have skyrocketed just like anywhere else. Now he doesn’t want to regulate the housing market, but wants to regulate the spending on those who already can’t afford housing. It’s disgusting.

Where is this from?

“Friends aren’t the people we like best. They’re merely those who got here first.”

I don’t know who said that, but I think that’s true, too.

The liberal party in Germany is tossing the idea around that recipients of social security shouldn’t get their actual rent paid (within reasonable limits), but just a flat rate. This is supposed to allow them the decision to cough up more money of their own for a better apartment or to downsize and have more money to spare.

Given the housing prices, I think we’ll have quite a rise in homeless’ wealth, should this ever get through parliament.

That looks like the SFW version of a porn movie storyboard.
