Nice tool. And all people having the same look, the surrounding looking so tiresome noble and reality distorted... I better recommend to see a taylor. Those people simply look at you, some time later you got a perfect fit shirt. Plus, not all people looking like models, it would be refreshing to see other people in advertisments.

He can team up with a hw-manufacturer and together they develop the machine that was needed for so long. Why not? I once worked for Tuxedo, the beginning of that company was the question if they sell hardware to the books as well?

I would not give much shit about maxell being the producer or designer of that stuff. Its a licends product, nothing more. I doubt its quality.

Apply to a phone company. The stolen phone logs into the next base transceiver station and the provider can look up when and where that was. You as a consumer dont get access to such data.

Then just read a book or magazine. Or just take that boring time, its life that is not always funny, entertaining and colorful. Most people have the problem of being under pressure to spend even their free time productive. But for whom? Boredom is healthy, spinning down your engine from constantly reving up at the street lights in life. When i commute to work, i got an old Walkman, ancient cassette player with me, listening to an entire album of music where i cant hear the phone ringing, no notification popping up and letting me get distracted from listening to people that spent years of work to create an album of fantastic music.

I switch of my phone every evening after 20:00 hrs. Nobody has to disturb me except my moms house is on fire. My landline number is known around relatives etc. I never answered or reacted that late on the same day. Its my fucking free time, nothing can be so important i have to give up that personal time. Unluckily i have to use my own personal phone for my job. I receive emails and texts when my teamleader is working late. Thats annoying. A couple of years ago my company handed me a work cell phone, but those days are long gone. When i commute to work, early in the morning, i look outside the window of the tram, look at the sun rising or whats going on on the streets. The entire wagon is just staring on senseless Whatsapps, texts or videos. I dont get why the people dont wanna be bothered that early in the morning and making them ready for work or just enjoy a beautiful sunrise. You cant make friends with them anymore, they dont look around, dont start chatting with the person next to them. Zombies they are. If all those people would hold a bottle of beer and sip on it frequently, we would call them alcoholics and addicts. And those people are addicts, needing treatment. Urgently. But the common reception of phone users is that they are in touch with someone and the social tradegy is hidden behind the manner of use of such devices. One does not see if the user is watching stupid videos or is caught in a bubble. But holding a bottle of beer will bring the people to contempting the blue collar worker after a long working day, talking to real people, earning his wage and returning to his real existing family that evening. What i ask myself the entire time is, how are kids raised by parents working for or owning cellphone providers and manufacturers? What do such people tell their kids how or not to use social media? Do they raise them ascetic when it comes to gadgets? Tell them: Daddy is going to work, selling stuff for stupid people?

French love wine, so they drink it even during the day and that making them pee. But removing public restrooms was a huge mistake. I am glad finding one in my country, if not, i ask a business or cafe to use theirs. Some deny it completely, others charge you with 50 ct. i gladly pay. Sometimes the problem with public restrooms is the vandalism. You cant give some people something new,clean. They ruin it in no time. Its a pity, but thats the problem of their parents raising them.

As a patient with depression and alcohol dependence, i dont want an artificial treatment. Its important to leave the house, sit in front of a real human and do some chatting as my former therapist once did. A human therapist will smell the relapse from yesterday and can interpret your facial expression. Many people go into social retraction, dont leave the house, order food instead of go shopping, receive sunlight etc. Its important to take part in the normal social life as much as one can.

Why care so much? Those people did it for a reason. They received the same help as you and now they pass the help around. There is a saying in my language that you always meet the same guy twice in your life. And everything you do, will return to you. Be glad you have met so kind people and be nice to the future student or helpseeker you will met. It could be that guys son or daughter. Balance restored i would say.

When beeing unemployed for some months, i got up every morning as if i had to go to work. I cleande my apartment, did some paperwork and joined a social welfare project where poeple can maintain a structure. That was working in a cafe or doing garden work. I received free coffee for that and met some people i sometimes meet. The worst thing is to stay in a bubble of netflix series, social networks and rotting away. I have suffered depression but i forced myself out of it by that.

Why tell people your sexual orientation that has nothing to do with the work that has to be carried out? Why showing everyone it? I bet if that person would have simply kept her/his mouth shut, problems werent. I am bisexual, none of my coworkers nor my boss knows about it.Simply not other peoples business. I dont have any stickers or shirts on me and my workplace. And sure, other cultural backgrounds like the dude in kenia, i assume he is a muslim, are not always so tolerant as the entire rainbow-community hallucinating it.

I am thinking what all that stuff written and drawn on people should tell me? I cant even talk to them while commuting, they only stare in their phones. What is it my business when the litte daughter was born or a half readable scribbling above the boobs is there? I dont get many tatoos, some of them you see around the world in the same manner. Some are complete bullshit. But well, as long as people have money for getting and then removing them, all is fine.

52 years old here. Getting that age is sometimes relieving. I am not that stupid as back then. Got wealthier too. So i bought a classic Vespa scooter lately, couldnt have afforded that thing back then. I love tape decks and record players again, that stuff was also very expensive, now i get it for around 50 € and repair and maintain it myself. Wisdom comes with age, no matter what profession or job you are working as long as you stay interested. Whats coming back as boomerang are the stupid decisions i made when i was younger, now i know better and would like to turn back time. But i think thats pretty normal in all walks of life.

But should the parent decide if the kid will become a musician? What if its not talented and pushing it with force to mechanically play Mozart? I later became interested in playing bass guitar, nobody forced me. I did it for leisure. Children are and will not be experts in all fields. Sure you are right that some discipline is needed to move forward and to keep up with something. Do you remember and use everything you ever learned in school, if its not needed for your current job? Kids nowadays spent half to 3/4 of the day in school or outside their own home. When should they be kids? I understand the pressure of parents to make sure they have good grades, some is necessary, but not really all of it. I never learned touch type in school. I did that on my own after work within half a year. I did it because i was interested in. Worked 20 years in IT. Now i am currently trying to get my amateur radio license, i use my knowledge that i collected so far, allthough i was bad at math in school. Life is a journey, i got three professions so far.

Must add i had struggles with mathematics. It can be interesting, but little did i understand as a pupil. Later in life, i discovered it, i became a car mechanic, then it-guy, then non-destructive tester. English is my first and only second language, its enough to lurk here, read books and serve customers on a professional level. I think i dont need french, nobody around me speaks it, i am not interested going to france..at all. All the math i was thaught, was do to the job and that filled my fridge. Its okay to push kids to university so they can use that math knowledge, but who foresees what the kid wants to work? School is not the end of the road, one can always attend courses, getting autodidactic knowledge later in life. Today we dont need 10 architects while having only 1 roof tyler.....

If you look at what cars of this type are produced and who drives them, it quickly becomes clear where the road is heading. Huge off-road vehicles, albeit with electric drive, are missing the mark. These things are advertised with sporty performance, comfort and so on. In my opinion, energy is being thrown out the window to satisfy the ego of the buyer. These people are buying themselves a clear conscience. Even if the cars are electric, where can they be charged? Not everyone lives in the houses you see in the advertisements. Not everyone can just go into debt for something like this. I drive an economical petrol car with 200k kilometers on the clock. I don't need to produce anything new or use any rare earths or energy. Even with electric cars, the plastic for the door panels has to be made from crude oil. The cost of installing all the electronics is also high. I drive this car until I can't drive any more, I mostly use public transport, but sometimes I have to use the car for the weekly shop. I'm also staying in the city because I'm getting older and I'm dependent on doctors and markets, at the moment I work outside the city, like many others, and people just need a car to park here. Not everyone has the same life as others.

Drum brakes are way more prone to fail, the heat cant be transported away, the dust still is produced and the brake power, the law requires, is way to little. If we switch fully to trams and buses, they produce the dust amount of lets say 100 cars. If the public transportation should be capable of all inhabitants of a city, we would have up to 200 trams running every day and night. Who should be a tram driver? Most of the younger folks dont want to work shift or at weekends and night. My town has drivers with grey beards, between 50-60 years old. There are no younger applicants for that job so they drive even if retired to keep up the demand. They got paid extra which making tickets more expensive.

Cycling to work is nice. But if you are young, sitting all day in a warm office. Think of blue collar workers that are hungry, exhausted and also people getting older. Its fucking annoying to wait for the bus that does not show up, the stupid beeps whenever the doors open and the slow movement in general. Lucky i am at home in half an hour, laws now require you to commute to work in up to 1.5hrs if you cant afford a car or should use public transportation. Electric bikes are no solution, the minerals and energy must be produced to transport people like me. I will buy a motor driven classic Vespa, fuel consumption is 2l for 80 mls and i am at home without dispruption and waiting. Plus i got a new nice hobby to maintain it. No new vehicle was produced, no rare earth was needed. Fuel is produced every day for the plastics of the EV and for many other things like pharmacy and so on. No new bike needed to be shipped from china where all that stuff is made. Sure you are right with vegan biking, but not all folks can do it.

Great that they have made parking more expensive for heavy and huge cars. My city here offers parking free of charge for EVs, but note they are heavy, have wide tires and cost parking space. Whats the tradeoff then? Its wasting electric energy to move such a pile of metal for one person. I critisized that in the forum of our local newspaper, my comment got deleted....

Ich muss mich aber fragen warum dies nötig wurde. Niemand an meiner Schule hatte eine Allergie, Erkrankung dieser Art oder irgendwas. Was ist seit den 1980ern passiert? Sind es Umweltgifte? Farb- und Aromastoffe? Zuviel Süsses? Ich kann es mir kaum vorstellen dass das menschliche Erbgut so kaputt gegangen ist. Wir haben eine exzellente medizinische Versorgung und Forschung und Entwicklung gehabt. Mein Frau lehrt an einer Waldorf-Schule. Die Kinder leiden wirklich keinen Hunger und Not. Leider aber werden viele Kinder gekündigt da sie verhaltensauffällig und somit unbeschulbar sind. Es kann doch nicht sein, ich würde es verstehen wenn die pure Armut oder Gewalt in der Familie die Kinder kaputtmacht. Sind es die Smartphones?
