But they are also extremely poor and have serious corruption problems at all levels, and making a honest living here is asking to be poor and miserable forever. I think other nordiboos envy the nordic's richness, organization and socialist state that actually seems to protect it's people.

What do you consider your countries’ “nation branding” to be? (Meaning the way your country has branded itself in relation to the world).
As a Swede I feel like Sweden has branded itself as a “humanitarian country” for decades. That’s also how I feel like Americans see us. I feel like our nation branding is trying to portray us as always taking in refugees when others didn’t and always acting neutral in conflict. While in reality we take in refugees without the general public wanting them (resulting in shitty integration), we’re never really neutral and have never been properly neutral but pretend we are.

>>945160fellow italianon! tbh I think it could be much worse here. Most normies still are ignorant on or against gender theory, and mainstream feminism is still mostly about serious issues like domestic violence equal opportunity etc. We have it better than most other western countries imo. Also there are many relatively normie left wing and lesbian/feminist associations that are openly gender critical, like arcilesbica. Outside of niche lgbt groups made up of very online teens and young adults, no one really knows or cares about trans stuff. We aren't as based as
terf island but also not as fucked as the US and canada is what I mean lol

nonny here, literally so tired of it, the neoliberal government in charge of the vaccine rollout and COVID policy in this country got too lazy and/or just acted too late, now we have a THIRD lockdown, with curfew from 8pm. The vaccination rate amongst adults is 52%. Everyone is so angry at eachother and divided, taking the public transport like the train or bus is so tense and everyone seems to be in such a horrible mood. I'm vaccinated but not even to protect myself, but to comply and attend uni/get work/etc. But I am still sceptical of the restrictions, and what it means for the future (dividing people into second-class citizens). The most anti-vax people in this country are the elderly and the large Russian minority, and the rhetoric they spread on social media like FB and Telegram groups seems to be working. I'm angry at our government, but have also lost faith in the common sense of most people, either those who repeat the news rhetoric and call skeptics idiots and stupid, or the large amount of people who support populist politicians and claim that COVID just "doesn't exist". I honestly have lost any faith or patriotism in my people, and do not blame the Latvian people who have decided to leave in droves to greener pastures.

-you have to be willing to learn at least a bit of basic Polish. You'll need it in case you have to deal with people in public institutions (like taxes, insurance, hospital etc.) because not everybody speaks english, even in bigger cities
-if you have a degree, experience and professional skills it should be easy to find a good job. What kind of job would you prefer?
-gross monthly minimal wage is going to be 3010PLN starting from January 1st 2022 and will likely increase in following years.
-You can rent a decent room in Warsaw city center for around 1000-1500PLN, apartments start at 2000PLN
-food in grocery stores is unfortunately getting more expensive but is still way cheaper than in Western Europe (and way better imo, especially stuff like vegetables and meat)
-we have great restaurants and good craft beers if you're into that sort of thing
-people from urban areas are friendly and open minded, especially younger ones. Altough unfortunately conservative government is gaining more and more traction in recent years
-public health services can be disappointing, it's better to be prepared to pay for private
-our police is far from the best but overall the streets are safe and crime rate is pretty low

Mediterranean anons, is it true that your work days are super short and relaxed? The foreign students from Spain, Italy etc. that I’ve worked with always said it was “their culture” to show up at 10 or 11 in the morning, take an hour+ long lunch break and then leave around 4 pm for drinks. I always assumed they were bullshitting me but it was a very consistent claim.

>>949026I went to one of the oldest if not THE oldest high school in my country. It's kinda prestigious so a lot of people want to send their kids there but it's old and it's downtown so it's a very small building, we'd be 35 or 40 per class. It was impossible to focus so even if the teachers were mostly competent I feel like high school was a huge waste of my time and made me regress. I went to a private middle school and we had the same problem there, not a lot of classes per grade so we were way too many, it was impossible to focus on anything and kids there wouldn't stfu.
In a more general way some teacchers have a stick up their asses and will tell the kids to study their way and no other way. If you talked in English during English class and dared making a normal mistake you'd have some teachers making fun of you instead of correcting you normally and helping you. That's the case for a lot of subjects but in foreign languages it's especially retarded since practice makes perfect applies even more here. Don't get me started on German teachers not teaching you anything and making you watch the same football movie every year. When you see normal competent and nice teachers they can be eaten alive by the students if they're spoiled and entitled enough, it's crazy.
On the other side, almost every students in uni I knew who went abroad thanks to exchange programs told me studying in other countries was like being on vacations because of how easy it was. Especially prestigious Japanese, English, American, etc. unis that are crazy expensive.

Good luck trying to be a career woman, everyone will harass you to get married and pop 3-5 kids because at 21 you're already an "old girl".

Fascism is a problem, but why can't violence in these communities also be addressed (and it does bleed out of their group too, like it or not)? Why are scrotes with no wife, no kids, no family to take care of, allowed to immigrate freely? Why don't the government or hardcore leftist groups who claim to care so much ever try to do shit about the problem of violence?
People are literally becoming fascists because all the silence around crime isn't screaming tolerance and kindness, it's actually screaming "This is just the natural state of those different from you, deal with it". A minority of immigrants making each other unsafe in your country means that wherever they live automatically becomes unsafe, even people outside their ingroup will inevitably get hit by proxy, and the more come in and expand, the worse it'll get, especially for less affluent local people who can't afford to move to wealthier places

>>950304Doesn't make sense yet happens everywhere. lol Immigration nets the system a bigger consumer base for the industrial output and weight in foreign policy, bigger underclass that suppresses the wages (hence central banks all over the world openly postulate it as policy to increase economy competitiveness). Real estate balloons in prices. The social safety nets will keep everyone consuming anyway and double as a feudal relation to the state and some political options. Indeed clientism unerringly develops in any widely varied society with representative democracy and incapacitates the population's ability to decide anything, since sections of it are now going to vote 90% on the single big daddy party anyway, basically waiting for scraps, happy to get ahead in a zero sum game vs the rest. This way the democratic process is partially deadened.
This isn't some grand conspiracy, just a matter of course for an elite managing the democracy who's institutions they captured or grew out of or both. People use words like magic spells. "OOOOH, a conspiracy, anon!" is all it takes for you to allow yourself to shut off your brain. Some thing aren't said out loud, because they dispel useful pretense, doesn't mean they don't happen in the background, that whole systems aren't functioning around them. There are lobbies and symbiotic relationships between various top sections of society like media and politicians. Systems sometimes require bullshit as grease, people need to assume that feudal lords are looking out for the peasant or the gods anointed the new god-king. We haven't progressed at all since those times, same monkey brains as ever, but now the propaganda tubes are SO much bigger.
Big newspapers aren't bringing in profits for decades now… but someone owns them, right? Example: why did Bezos buy Washington Post? Occam's razor, anon.

Some of it is made out sheer money, some of even bigger institutional power (finance is half-fused to the state, with any newcomers regulated out of the picture and an oligopoly in some areas - payment processors - a flat out monopoly in others, like everyone having to use SWIFT), some from very strategic adoptive in-groups like established politician de facto communities etc. All those groups are small and go to the same parties and charity events, their activities often interlock. Need I say more?
There was a great study done at some prestigious college: no correlation between passed policy and what is popular with the public in America. You only get mild correlation when you narrow it down to 1 or 0.1% of the most affluent, since their bubble is the only place culture and financial incentive actually matters in influencing the "democratic" process of the tweedist US plutocracy. That is reality, not some platitudes by a hired clown staring at you from the idiot box. The democratic infrastructure is there, but neutralized and coopted.

>>949620It's a combination of huge virtue signaling by the normal folk (that probably don't like the LGBT that much) and a huge americanization of our culture. Catholic practising people are motly elders and the Spanish youth makes so much noise compared to them. Even our socialist party is a big liberal pile of shit. After the repression of 40 years of dictatorship, in the late 70s took place the ''Destape'', a pseudo-sexual liberation on film and other media. Generations that grew with normalized nudity and a increasing american influence on culture are now between 45 and 65. They are very liberal compared to their parents and their children are the actual spanish youth. These kids, like their parents, are all about rebelling towards ''authoroty'' (parents themselves, traditions, common sense) and embracing the so-called freedom that comes with following any damn trend from the USA. People here will literaly acctept anything that is preached as progressive by the americans, that's why the troon phenomenon and drag queen shit have become so popular so easily, that's why people virtue signal for BLM when we never had any historical meaningful black minority, while they turn their heads off from the impoverished gipsy communities that have been here for ages. Spanish teens and youngsters want to be cool and progressive. Spaniards are very self-conscious about their own culture because they don't feel it as their own, mainly probably because for ages culture and literacy were really only part of a very small group of aristocrats (Spain's iliteracy was about 94% of the population by the year 1900). It's much more easy to binge on Netflix crap than to feel any interest towards spanish writers (the golden age of the spanish literatures were the XVII century for the castillian literature and the XV century for the catalan/valencian literature, imagine the literacy back then) because it's not like our grandparents actually held any patriotic feeling that wasn't based only on xenophobic ideas rather than admiration for spanish artists. When given a chance to educate itself, a country so used to bread and circus will look for more entertainment somewhere else rather than embrace its unknown historical traditions.

>>948663Dutch? Our daycare recently announced that they basically can’t offer the amount of days that people are registered for and that parents should be looking into alternatives/expect some days to be cancelled in the coming months. Unsubsidised daycare in my area costs more than minimum wage, too, and before COVID the waiting lists were over a year long and I assume they’ve only gotten worse. I know multiple people (all women, of course) who are in the position that they can’t find work because they don’t have childcare but can’t afford childcare because they don’t have paid work. These are all well-educated women, too.
The housing market is also exactly as you described. Rent is insane unless you can get into social housing, for which you have to be registered for years and years before you’re eligible. Housing prices are rising fast, too, like 10% in the past year in the area my husband and I are searching. I don’t know anyone under the age of 40 who’s managed to buy a house without half of it being financed by their parents, and even then everyone’s moving further and further away from their places of work because most people work in the cities but no one can actually afford to
live in the cities. Food and energy prices are rising fast as well. It’s a mess.

Also about the hair and skin part, I have pretty dry skin and during the winter when I take a hot shower it especially gets bad.

I've been to expensive restaurants here where the tab for 2 people was a couple hundred and

Speaking of Monarchs and Monarchy I am reminded of story of the between the Spanish crown prince and Francisco Franco
see despite being an all powerful military dictator Franco was still ideologically committed to traditional monarchism and truly wanted to reestablish the Spanish monarchy in his very warped idealized view, but he didn't trust any of the members of the royal family members as they were too "liberal" for his liking, so he basically skipped over a generation and choose the previous crown prince's son Carlos I and choose him to be his heir, he mentored him in his own ideology and basically raised him throughout his life
when death was near Franco he gave full power of state to Juan Carlos and the monarchy, everyone expected that the new king would continue Franco's ideoglical rule as he had been almost like a son to Franco and yet he went the extreme opposite direction, he pulled out troops from all Spanish colonial holdings and peacefully transitioned the country away from centralized authoritarian rule to a proper democracy

Imo Queen Victoria is underappreciated. She ruled the largest empire in history to that point when she died in 1901 (only exceeded by Britain under her successors), and she also preferred that portraits & photographs of her such as this one be "realistic" and unedited. If she felt a portrait was unrealistically flattering she would have it redone.

>>945190Answering kinda late because I just found this thread now but my country used to have a lot of anime dubs, but unfortunatly nowadays the only anime dubs we have are My hero Academia and some few anime that you can show to little children, like Inazuma Eleven, Pokemon, Beyblade, and I'm not sure if the recent Captain Tsubasa is still running…
That I am aware of, other than MHA, the most recent animes to get dubbed without being for toddlers in Portugal were Haikyuu, Fairy Tail and maybe you could count Saint Seya Omega too (idk much about it's plot). Shinshan had some reruns recently too, dubbed and un-dubbed.
Anyway going back to the old anime, I just wanna share that somehow we got an official Neon Genesis Evangelion dub lol. The production value is kinda questionable, some of the characters changed voice actor literally every other episode. I think Toji and Kensuke had like five different voice actors at different times. Dragon ball sometimes had that but at least they made fun of that in the dub, so some people watched it on purpose just for the funny dub.

My mushroom season was disappointing to say the least, even the less popular species were sparse where I live and 40% of what I found was full of worms.

Sans the weather I think Finland is the greatest place you could be in to be honest. No natural disasters, no disease, no predatory animals, the crime rate is low, people speak English quite well, cheap health care, free universities, very high hygiene standards, everywhere is quiet and peaceful since Finns want to mind their own business. The thing that foreigners often find hard is the language and how the Finns are so shy and autistic it takes a long time for them to open up. And naturally it depends on where you live, the capital city is much more international than the rest of the cities.

How connected do you generally feel to your culture and people?
Like, do you feel at home with the type of people, social norms and atmosphere your country typically has?
Personally I used to never feel particularly connected to my country but lately that's been changing. I've been interacting with a lot more people from different countries and while the cultural differences aren't that big, there's still some social subtleties that make communicating with people from my own country easier. I feel more natural and at ease with them, like I can be straightforward without accidentally being rude because of some social faux pas.
Also I definitely appreciate humor and comedy from my own country more, even if some of it is objectively not that great.

>>957109It can be hard to make friends, especially if you're from a poorer country. Swedes, especially big city ones do not like to interact with the poor.
Some places are nicer to immigrants like Göteborg and Helsingborg, though Göteborg is pretty expensive.
Stockholm is horrible to live in and especially bad for feeling alienated, most people there have no grip on reality and behave really weird around immigrants.
Being a foreigner alone is hardmode, but you're extra fucked if you're not white- I'm eastern euro, so swedes are half-nice, until they realise I'm not from a wealthy country and then they treat me like a retard or use me for sjw points.

>>949026In Germany, it's all about your status. If you're a wealthy white kid, you'll probably get a good education in a higher school form where the new teaching plans encourage you to actually ponder and think about things. I grew up in poverty, but since there is some kind of academic strive and (thankfully) intelligent genetics in my family, I could actually profit from school, and there are many things I have learned, especially in the last school years, that still give me food for thoughts today.
However, most migrant and working class kids get sent to lower school forms by racist teachers. A lot of people told me that they were told that they are dumb and will never achieve anything when they were young. The only thing you learn there is how to defend yourself.
If you have a Hauptschule degree and nothing else, you are scum in society's eyes, and you will end up unemployed. Since those schools are so bad, you are likely to already have developped a drug addiction and get used to a life in violence, so prison as an adult is a real threat.

Fuel is the worst, prices keep increasing everyday.

I'm from a more rural part of Austria through and there it's a completely different story, every familiy I know there has at least a car, most have two. The speed of public transport really depends on the route, but going by car is usually significantly faster.

My area in particular is awful. I can catch the bus out five times a day two hours apart. The earliest I can leave is 8am and the latest is 4pm and it takes forever to get anywhere here too because of the meandering route and stops. If I want to get back to my immediate area I have to catch the bus at 5pm at the latest or be left stranded.
Before driving, if I wanted to do anything further afield (bigger city 20 miles away) I would have to travel to the nearest, small city first (10 miles away requiring a stop at a town 6 miles away first, new bus after 20 mins wait); arrive at small city, wait 40 mins for my new bus, then sit on it for over an hour and 15 mins because it loops round the county lol. This big city has a Saturday night bus leaving at 11pm latest and it will only go to the smaller city which has no buses out that late. Until very recently that bigger city didn't have buses running until Sunday afternoon either. So for a Saturday night party I used to have leave early afternoon and sleep at a friend's house in the small city, or stay with someone in the big city and not get home until late Sunday afternoon.

>>959763I don't know why it's a division game either. Ask the original dumbfuck anon who accused us of claiming up thread that white women are the primary
victims, something not said. She then had the gall to say all we had to do was cry about it (even lie about it!) and white men would swoop in and save us. That's why I submitted that link, it nicely explains the motivations and thinking of muslim men toward us and how "white men" (authorities) actually responded to white
victims.
>>959877More info has come out since but it's still not clear to me whether Asian girls were abused in the same way or not. You can't read the original report. Why not? It says most nation-wide
victims of Pakistani males are Pakistani females. Well, duh. Everyone knows perps and
victims are often of the same ethnic background, were they targeted for the same reasons and the same scale as white girls in Rotherham?
Regardless, white males have not been torturing and raping little asian girls en masse, so much so that a significant proportion of girls in the area are permanently missing. Have they been sex trafficked? Are they dead? No one the fuck knows. Can you imagine if this happened white on asian? They are still trying to get us to shut up about it.

Maybe you're not familiar with the situation. Throughout grooming gang cases in the UK, mostly white girls have been targeted by mostly south asian moids. Girls were raped, beaten, and abused for decades. Authorities across the country chose to ignore it; some officers admitted that they knew about everything, but weren't allowed to approach the situation for fears of the police force seeming racist, and of causing racial tensions if people knew the truth. They chose OPTICS over those little girls.
Despite all of this, most of the media hates talking about it and you'll be labelled a skinhead crazy if you mention it yourself. Meanwhile these types of gangs CONTINUE TO OPERATE.
This isn't a case of 'well, white men are bad too', because obviously they fucking are. How many girls could have been saved if the white police officers made ANY effort to stop it all? Nonna's point (which although poorly articulated, was pretty obvious if you read her whole sentence) was that if the races were reversed in this situation then the UK's media and societal response would be different. It shouldn't be considered "slowly creeping pick-me shit" (wtf is wrong with you with that comment? we are talking about the mass rape of thousands of children here) to admit the facts.
Sorry for my massive sperg-out, but I read the testimonies of some of those girls years ago and they were absolutely harrowing, from the horrific abuse they survived to the awful treatment from the police afterwards. And now their stories can't even be discussed without people trying to deflect discussion because 'uhh white men bad too'. Maybe you should ask yourself why you feel the to make equivalences when we're talking about mass child rape. As if two bad things cannot exist at once.

The covid tests are not free anymore and you have to pay them (I think it was like 12€? for one?)

Everything should be legal, but with regulations and a background of knowledge for every drug available and if something turns out to be dangerous not only to your own body but to other people (like smoking cigarettes), it will be more expensive than other stuff and there would be precautions to protect the people that aren't addicted.
But like I said, I don't have to worry, Germany will have another 4 years of doing or changing nothing.

This whole story is sketchy as fuck and full of inconsistencies from the victim, but here goes my rant anyway

>Miraculously escapes scrotes 1 day later and seeks help in a restaurant
>After finding her, a gendarmerie general says that it is "careless for young women to go running alone"
>After that statement, father of the victim feels obliged to clarify to the press that his daughter wasn't running in the woods (like they had previously claimed) when she was abducted

>>965547From what I've seen in the news the girl was always running in the exact same itinerary, but it looks like she lives in a small town so I wouldn't be surprised if she tried to avoid the woods but wasn't too far away from the woods anyway. As for the general, he said something like "don't do that alone, at least be a group of two, cases like this are multiplying" or whatever. I don't disagree with the guy, in theory it's men who should stop committing crimes, but in practice that's just not going to happen. And let's be real, when you live in a small town like that there are way less witnesses or ways to escape predators if anything happens than in big cities like Paris or Lyon.
Apparently when the girl went to the restaurant she was covered in blood and probably jumped off the car the kidnappers used to bring her somewhere else. And she was found 10km away from her house. I wonder if we'll find the kidnappers.

And now he has sent them to the Polish-Belarus border, as well as the Lithuanian-Belarus border. Well to that I say, they can go the long way around Poland, through Ukraine, Slovakia and Czechia if they truly want to reach Germany that badly, if Germany will have them.
>>965176They're not fleeing from war, though. And even if they were, and I may sound cruel by saying this but young military-aged men shouldn't get to flee war at all. And most migrants on the Belarus border are in fact men, even if the media goes out of its way to make it look like it's majority women and children there. And if you were fleeing war, you'd go to another European country for help, not the Middle East, right?

The many times I got harassed were by native scrotes and immigrant scrotes alike. I work in a place where I have contact with a lot who are mainly from african countries, and tbh I don’t know why so many people believe illegal immigrants get cushioned by the state, yeah some might be lucky to get a flat and some support but most of them absolutely fall though the grid because they’re from the ‘wrong’ country and have to sell drugs on the streets for gangs or shit like that because they can’t get a working license and realize they won’t make good money to send it home but can’t go back because they feel ashamed in front of their families. There even are efforts by some who try to warn the people in their homeland to not come here because it’s shit.
>>965087> there is no reason to take another hundreds of people in if you don't care to integrate them and give them a chance for a normal lifepretty much this, too many fall through the grid while the state brags with heroic deeds and the successful cases are often made possibly by community effort from the local people, not the state.
But when it’s the case that they flee from a war/famine or armed conflict ravaging their homeland then every country that can afford basics should absolutely take them in until the conflict is over, no one should have to be exposed to that and living in a tent near a border far away from your home isn’t a fun camping trip.

Very this - and with the way family reunification is being pushed, a lot of countries are now wary of taking in women and children, as that would create an anchor for "bearded babies" (sons, brothers, nephews, cousins, fathers…) flooding in. It'll also very likely lead to a whole sector of society that has little intention of integrating properly while expecting to reap the benefits of modern Western European welfare states; why bother when there's no incentive? Then we get large families that contribute little to nothing but reap tax-funded benefits, and who also send money abroad. My northern European country already has migrant families who have been here a while but who are reluctant to learn the language or to find employment; they don't want to integrate, they don't respect the locals (especially women and girls, which is galling in a fairly equal country!), and don't think their own women and girls need an education or employment outside the home.
I hate the idea of letting innocents suffer because they've got toxic moids that come part and parcel with them. If we could just let the women and kids in, without needing to take in the men too by extension, I'd be down with it. As it is, we're mostly getting tons and tons of yound men as the majority of refugees and immigrants - and you guessed it, they are not integrating at all, or adjusting to the local way of life.

when the refugee crisis started in 2015 i was so glad, i thought so many girls could be saved and live a modern life now…boy was i naive
i'm training to be a teacher and it breaks my hears seeing 8yo girls do everything to not participate in physical education, hiding the sports clothes social workers bought them, just because they're so fucking scared of their father who's been living since years in Germany. Why come here if you're unwilling to change a single thing? Those girls are much slower in studying German than the other foreign (mostly eastern euro) kids, they will never be able to integrate, never be able to change their life around, they're doomed from the start and you aren't allowed to do anything to change that.
I'm not denying that german men aren't awful criminals too, but what's different is that them or other europeans usually walk around on their own, while in muslim culutre I guess it's normal to always be surrounded by all your brothers, cousins, friends, and that's why you suddenly here about all those gangrapes happening.

They will make it expressly clear that they see no value in teaching girls anything. And god help you if you try to give their sons consequences; they're the apple of their parents' eyes, and the next coming of whatever Ajatollah they like. Rules apply to other kids, not Muslim boys, and they learn that early at home.
Expect a lot of meetings with other teachers and the head over this, all of which amounts to a lot of hand-wringing and nothing concrete. Oh, but maybe the head will tell you that the boy would do better under a male teacher, as "men have more natural authority" - and you will have to grin and bear it. Because you can't be a good enough teacher or a stern enough authority figure for kids from Muslim families, just because you're a woman and as such they'll never see you as an equal human being worthy of respect.
And the thing is, accepting this shit means failing those kids and families in the long run. They won't integrate, and they won't evolve beyond their desert religion bullshit, and sooner or later they will run into unkind people who will not let that shit slide… and it'll stop their family from breaking out of poverty.

The homeless people are mostly people from Eastern Europe and they are drunk 24/7 and very intrusive. The immigrants from different African countries are not a problem at all, yes, they mostly stay in their group, but in the end I can understand it, it's not like the Germans in my part of the city are very educated or welcoming. What I'm just so done with is that the government let anyone in (mostly young males in my city) and they do nothing, in those more than 3 years living here nothing has changed and no one even tries. Wouldn't be so hard to make basic language lessons one of the things you have to take when you want to stay and then providing these lessons, payed by the state.
I agree that no one has to stay in a tent at the border of a country that's been destroyed or while a war is going on, still, I don't see a way how we could handle more.

>>965666>>965662not a teacher, but that is one thing I've noticed while outside. The women are covered from head to toe, only eyes visible (don't understand why that's still allowed), you never see a man while the women are outside taking care of the children, but you always notice how different the treat their boys and girls. They boys are allowed to run and have fun and be loud, the girls are always very close to their mothers, don't look at anyone and appear as if they try everything to just disappear from the world.
The only thing possible would be to separate the women from the men, but that would mostly mean horrible things for the women. And sadly I've met some younger Muslim women that are just as horrible as the males, telling every not Muslim woman that she is a slut and that she will suffer for eternity. I don't know if they developed that way to please their men, but I'm annoyed by all that religious bullshit that is ruining millions of lives.

>>965924I find that interesting, I'm German and I've experienced the same thing. Smoking is seen as relaxing and socialising and if you don't smoke, you are just not part of the group. There aren't any laws for smoking breaks here in Germany, but most bosses accept that you smoke, but if you don't smoke and just go for a walk for maybe 5 minutes while other people smoke, that's not okay.
I also hate that I don't have any rights for my own health. I'm waiting for the bus, people next to me smoke, I'm going into a store, people stand in the entrance and smoke, my neighbours are chain smokers, I can't open my window, no rights for me, it's about their freedom. And we still have advertisements for cigarettes in Germany, I just don't understand it, it's proved that smoking is a danger for everyone, not only the person that decides to be an idiot.
What I've read is that you have a smoking ban for parks in France, is that true? Does anyone care for it?

>>965725ata and this is an off-topic anecdote, but a friend of mine was asked by another woman if she could house this male refugee dude at her flat since she has a free room (she lives alone and he was described as super nice, yeah maybe he was who knows). Anyway she said no because of multiple reasons one of them being the understandable one of not wanting to live alone together with a man you don’t know. She was then privately accused of being racist towards him and using her white privilege against him by the other woman. (I’m in the leftosphere) seriously what the fuck this shit isn’t pc anymore.
Anyway I totally agree on the basic language courses, learning the language of the place you live in is a vital part in knowing your way around and getting out of social isolation. It probably really wouldn’t be so hard, you could create new jobs and gain some long-term benefits on the way. I don’t need anyone to ‘adapt to a culture’ other than the culture of don’t be an asshole and leave me the fuck alone if I’m minding my business but at least trying to learn the language is what literally anyone who moves places should do, me included. Idealism aside, we have to work within the given frameworks of our time.

>>967570>>967585I used to be a student coordinator for my uni while I was a student, and it involved a lot of failed attempts to get the exchange students to mingle with the local students (and a surprising amount of conflict resolution work). I'd say 80% of exchange students treat the whole experience like an extended theme park trip, and don't really want to interact with locals or make friends with them; they only go to exchange student parties, hang out with other exchange students, don't take part in student organisations or clubs, and usually won't even do coursework or group projects with local students unless absolutely forced. It's really, really sad.
The slobbiness and slovenly, I-don't-care-about-cleanliness attitude is something I noticed too; it causes a lot of friction in shared housing when local students (and this includes native students and international students who are here for a longer stay) rightly feel disgusted by people who leave shared kitchens etc in an absolute state; no one likes having all their clothes and belongings smelling of rancid grease because the Erasmus guy/girl in your apartment unit fries everything in fat and then won't clean up, or food rotting in the fridge, or literal shit all over the shared bathroom… A lot of Erasmus students have this "party holiday" mentality where they don't see the locals as real people, I guess, and don't think anything of acting like absolute asses in the progress. It's a real shame, a lot of people would kill for that kind of an opportunity.

However, you shouldn't feel pressured to attend every Erasmus students outtings, I didn't and I was fine. When I was there, I lurked my local ESN facebook page once and saw a post from a german girl who asked if anyone wanted to go on hikes with her, she alongside 6 other people became my weekly hiking buds; there's many ways to make friends other than attending binge drinking parties.

I couldn't go on any exchange program because I was way too poor to go anywhere, and that's taking scholarships into account. I really wanted to go to Japan because I was studying the language and wanted to improve, since my Japanese teachers were pretty incompetent and taught most classes in just French besides the translations classes and we barely had enough free time to study the language by ourselves.
The students in my classes who went abroad either went to Ireland and loved it for a lot of reasons, they said things were less expensive there than in our French city even though most of them studied in Dublin, some went to the same university in Sweden and the opinions can be very different but nobody was hanging out with local students, or went to Japan but it's not part of the Erasmus program, half of these students really used this opportunity to improve their level in Japanese very fast, the other half just acted like tourists and picked courses in English only to have better grades while making no efforts so their best memories was hanging out with other foreign students, having sex with Japanese guys and eating way too much. Only the best students could go to England, no idea what's so special about it, and it's so weird to me that the students applying to go abroad to English speaking countries because of their English courses/credits were forced by the university staff to go to fucking Sweden of all places.

>>967888 and probably a little bit biased due to my experiences with most Erasmus students I met and assisted, but I would say that it is overall an incredible opportunity, and also what you make of it.
A lot of the Erasmus students I coordinated treated it like Amish do "rumspringa", almost; partying, fucking, not really making any effort to get to know the location or the locals beyond sightseeing trips organised by the ESN or the student org… I got the impression that they were living it up like there was no tomorrow because they didn't really know what to do with their time here? Like it was both a lack of foresight and initiative. Obviously an extended exchange stay is not going to be a trip through a travel brochure and some magical experience, but there's more to life than partying and fucking (both which I personally enjoy too, but in addition to other shit, too, you know?). We'd work our asses off to be inclusive to both int'l students and exchange students, but by and large, the Erasmus kids stuck to themselves, and when they did attend local events by local orgs, they weren't really interested in meeting local students, learning and partaking in local student activities and traditions, etc. I don't know what we could have done more to make it all more interesting to them or to get them away from their little ESN circlejerk. The international students that would attend local events etc would by and large enjoy themselves, though, and actively try to make friends.
This isn't an uniform experience/model for Erasmus that applies everywhere, obviously. I know there are plenty of open-minded, adventurous Erasmus students out there… but they're a minority when compared to both the hikikomori Erasmus students (mostly stick to their flats, never take part in events) and the party animal Erasmus students.

>>968173Tbh sometimes I wonder why even bother purchasing second hand. The asking price initially sounds good until after service fees and shipping, you end up with a second hand item that's not that much more cheaper than the new thing, except you can't try it on and can't return it.
Btw you can't (directly) offer more than 40% off through vinted, so you could always adjust your asking price so it's never less than what you want for it minimum after the 40% reduction.
I also think vinted's clothing categories are a mess.

>>968128For longer-term international students yes, absolutely. In my experience international students were more likely to mix with locals in their own major/department/dorms than with other international students studying different things or living elsewhere. It probably helps that the locals here practically all speak good English and the university made a point of spreading international students out throughout the dorms rather than letting them cluster. I have encountered some international students who kept to themselves, but they were super introverted and didn’t really mingle with anyone, including other people from the same country.
>>968158My student organisation was supposed to be the same way but alcohol and partying still became a huge part of every activity. The organisation itself would show up with a crate of beer and get drunk during the course of the activity, even if that activity was a nature hike or a lecture. There was always an afterparty and often people would walk out halfway through the activity and start partying early because they couldn’t wait and were already drunk anyway. Sometimes the guest lecturer or guide would even join in and rush through or outright cancel the end of the activity. As someone who doesn’t like to get drunk or be around drunk people, it was honestly the most lonely time of my life.

What stereotypes have you guys heard about people from European counties? This is just for fun so let’s not squabble or racebait. Here’s what I’ve heard
England: ugly, alcoholic, shit food, morally bankrupt, entitled, self important and arrogant. Sex tourists. Loud mouthed. Basically Europe’s USA.
Scotland: aggressive, smackheads
Ireland: alcoholic wife beaters
Wales: sheep shaggers
France:rude, smelly, dumb and arrogant. Rubbish sense of humour. The women don’t shave and the men are creeps
Italy: fiery and passionate. Great lovers. The men are sexually aggressive.
Russia: very good looking, blue eyed and tall. stern, racist. Either alcoholic drug addict or KGB secret agent.
Romania: basically thieves and gypsies. The men are all rapists. The women are beautiful
Belgium: ugly
Germany: racist. When they go on holiday they steal peoples towels and beach chairs. They have no sense of humour and a stiff upper lip. However they still manage to be sexual deviants at the same time, and love to be naked whenever possible. Especially if they’re very old and ugly.
Ukraine: beautiful. Also scammers and fraudsters.
Poland: plumbers and builders. Hard workers. Xenophobes hate them because they steal all the jobs.
Scandinavia: beautiful
Portugal: the police are fucking evil and morally bankrupt. That’s all I’ve heard
Norway: Woke af
Spain: very relaxed, laid back and nice. However, if you are a tourist the police will beat you to a bloody pulp for the smallest offence

Also, Southerners have better genes in terms of looks but worse personalities, Southerners are more fake and judgy than Northerners. Also class divide between north and south is prominent.>Scotland: England but more fat, also funny, love hate relationship, loud people who can be nice, ginger>Ireland: More religious, cute people, short, wife beaters sometimes, potato obsessed>Wales: The middle child of the UK, everyone ignores her but she's actually beautiful and also it's cheaper to live there. Bad education system
>France: Either nice people or arrogant people. They smell (obvs) but they can make good food, and French girls can be really cute. Brought the world some of the best culture, music and inventions, but are chainsmokers who may go on strike if asked to clean their rooms
>Italy: Quite nice and genuine people, lazy, loves food but still skinny legends, don't know what quiet means and loves family

Soulful culture and literature, tough people, ruin their looks with alcohol. Women are glamorous and will not take a dump without touching up their chanel lipstick in deep rouge #5

Also Sweden will let ten mohammads move into their home because of guilt. Danish people are apparently happy but I imagine they're kind of autistic too and sad because of the cold.

First went there to see my mum's family and they seem really kind, even if their language gives me a seizure and I cannot read their Facebook posts.
>Czech republic: Does rude stuff for money, nice architecture, idk much else
>Slovenia: Every woman is Melania Trump and every man is a Slavic gangster. Stunning natural landscapes and pretty cities.
>Estonia: Finland but Slavic. I don't know much else but I think they have a decent sense of humour.
>Turkey: Muslims but less strict. Doesn't deserve to be touching Stacygaria but it does anyway. Forgiven because I like kebabs.
>Croatia: Beautiful but I don't know what the people are like.
>Slovakia: In between West and East Europe. Epic castles and folklore
>North Macedonia: Poor, pretends not to be Bulgaria
>Montenegro: Funny name hehe that's all I know
>Georgia: Birthplace of a terrible person, gorgeous country, pretty women, dramatic countryside, in between continents, Tbilisi has both ugly and stunning parts, weird script, Christian but a little Muslim, good produce and crazy awesome traditional dance. One of the oldest Christian countries
>Luxembourg: I thought it was like Liechtenstein, but maybe it's different. I'm guessing it's rich with both French and German influences
>Andorra: Another rich people hide out, so I guess rich people with tans'nuff said

>>970635In czechia soon unvaccinated people cant go to restaurants and services but you can shop with mask on. No traveling in the country restrictions yet, hopefully never. We have record numbers of ill people and we have 60% vaccinated. I have no idea how gonna get out of this.
What is a bongland? land of bongs?
No. 970828
>>970785Wtf that’s terrible. Just know that minorities are easier to abuse because there are less of them to stand up for themselves, so they will only wait for unvaccinated to be more of a minority to start restricting them more.
Also Bongland means Britain. I know this as image board slang because I’m just so cool jejeje

>>970635In Spain I think the only one atm is the goddamn mask enforcement. I don't even know why they enforce it when 70% of the people still wear their dirty lucky charms outdoors (only enforced indoors). We also say you can 100% tell who's vaxxed because they're the only ones double masked kek.

Also, I make sure to leave a come on bear cheese on my windowsill everyday in the hope that a French girl will smell it with her big beautiful nez and find me, and stand outside my window and it will be just like Twilight (but with french people). I am not worthy of flirting with such a beautiful creature as a French girl. I only wish to mount your grand, elegant nose and ride off into the night whilst my teeth flutter away in the wind…

Any spanish anons have travel tips for a sheltered ozfag? I’m taking an unpaid internship in Barcelona next year through a travel agency and I’m going to there for 3 months. Basically how much do you think rent + commute + eating out + partying is going to cost me? I’m working full time and living at home rn so saving isn’t a problem.

>>2244362The far right wing sentiment has been festering for long nonna, we didn’t really need America’s election for it to start.
People are fed up with the fact that the economy is not doing well, salaries are low, cost of living is high, migrants etc..it’s the perfect environment for that kind of sentiment to fester, it’s not really surprising, it has happened many times throughout history.

>>2244578Nayrt. I feel bad for the women who didn't vote for that fat pig. I don't want to watch women and girls suffer when they get their rights stripped away if/when Project2025 is being implemented. I don't want little girls and innocent women dying when they can't get abortion or help when they go into sepsis or are murdered by men who don't want to pay child support because half of that country is retarded. I don't want women to be forced to stay in a marriage to worthless
abusive moids when/if they ban no-fault divorce. I don't want women to lose the right to vote. There's a bunch of other shit too, and some of that shit also affects European countries.

> Hi I'm 'insert cringy troon name' and with what's going on in the US atm I need to leave. Our lives are in danger! We might be rounded up any day now in camps. I don't know the first thing about your country but I am interested in moving there asap. What is your healthcare like? what is your trans healthcare like? I haven't started hormones yet so will I get stared at in the street? what is 'insert every basic thing you might wanna go do your own research on first' ..like? As if we don't have enough of our own genderclowns, or a housing shortage, or a healthcare shortage. Come on over and be a mentally ill, physically ill, surgery seeking, housing needing troon all on a whim! We'll rescue you. And they act so shocked that other coutries have their own issues going on too. It's like they randomly pick out any old country on a map and imagine it's their haven of troondom.

>>2253827This is such a fucking retarded take. Going by your logic, we shouldn't ban or prohibit anything. Don't prohibit abuse against women, because that just means they'll hit them in private. Don't prohibit beating kids, that just means they'll do it in private.
The point of these laws is to show your garbage religion is not compatible with the country's morals and values. They are saying you can either adapt, or leave. Yes it's sad that some of these women don't actually want to be submitted to this religion, but you can't allow this horrible thing to persevere in your country because of them. These women are in a country where they can get help if they try, so they can either use that help to become free and independent, or they can continue to subject themselves to Islamic slavery. But they have to be the ones to set this in motion, nobody will do that for them.
