What I find interesting is that reigning in abuse at the behest of bosses / management / leadership would solve a gigantic number of problems in today's society. 'Nobody wants to work anymore' is actually 'nobody wants to be treated like shit by power-hungry psychopaths'. BUT, it is so difficult / impossible to change the intrinsic human assholification of anyone with power (see Stanford prison experiment), that companies will try anything else.

improving work-life balance

aaaaand now we know nothing will be done.

(until doing work becomes worth it and doesn't take over your life and until the power is with the employees and bosses have to treat workers with respect, there will not be more children. governments do nothing to support people with families. paternity / maternity leave is a joke, childcare costs are astronomical, both parents have to work...it's bonkers that this is normalised and in some ways I'm glad birthrates are going down, as scaring our slave-drivers with potentially reduced profits is the only way anything will ever change and they can't do anything about it EXCEPT concede some freedom to the workers)

Haha, well, I've had many people tell me that I might be and I've had my own suspicions for a while. I am terrible in social situations (actually really good at them, on the surface. Good at pretending, but I hate it), I hate crowds, noise, flashing lights etc. But honestly, at this point I'm not sure what difference a diagnosis would make.

I perform well in areas I have interests in. Thus, by coincidence, I can appear capable in those areas. I'm also shockingly stupid in other areas. I've noticed a few things about how I learn: it has to be practical. Nothing theoretical will stick, unless put into practice. Thus, school was hell. I am also a devilish combination of a very slow learner who thinks differently about things. When a teacher taught things to the class, everyone got it immediately and I always somehow managed to come up with my own, weird, wrong interpretation of things. Once I have finally learned something, I am very accurate and precise, which is fairly useful in the fields I've worked in. I also have a flexible mind, which is great. I can usually reason outside of the confines most people think within. Which, see school, can be a blessing or a curse.

I've met truly intelligent people. Like, real freaks of nature types. PhDs in aerospace engineering, that sort of thing. Their universal intelligence is something else. It has shown and demonstrated to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that there are levels of comprehension, both in the uptake and subsequent processing of almost any information, that I will never reach.

But don't for a minute think that these were happy people.

Ich fahre Fahrrad, das mal im Voraus. Schon mein ganzes Leben eigtl.

ABER jedes Mal wenn ich mich in einem öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel befinde, sind's entweder besoffene, gröhlende Fussballfans oder Rudel von Wannabe-Gangster Teenagern. Also verstehe schon, wieso da jeder ein Auto stattdessen will.

Their* name...

Ich habe schon oft versucht Döner zu machen. Vom Fladenbrot bis zum veganen Fleischersatz habe ich alles hinbekommen, aber diese verdammte weiße Soße ist unmöglich zu replizieren. Sag mir bitte wie man das macht, es ist das letzte Puzzleteil für mich

Yup, you're right, I've had OLED TVs in my sight for quite a while. They seem to be ridiculously cheap compared to OLED monitors. Seems like you could get a lot of bang for your buck there. And cheaper OLEDs also mitigate for the burn-in issue somewhat, as you could just buy a new one if it ever becomes unbearable. How have you found things like text rendering to work on the OLED TV?

Normally I like buying things second hand as well. That way I can buy second-hand, sell my things to make up for the cost, too. With OLED, second-hand feels risky, due to burn-in again.

I had thought about using the OLED monitor just for games, but I can't exactly justify dropping £1k on something I'm only using for games lol

Let me tell you about the marvel at L2 called JWST

How is your German? In Berlin you'll be fine with English. In the other big cities, you'll already notice less proficiency. You'll be fine, but you'll notice it from time to time and English speaking jobs will be few and far between. Rural areas are hopeless lol
