  • Non-Americans, what's it like when you're sick and need to go to the doctor?

  • Well not entirely true. We pay 9~10% out of our gross salary for this service

  • Short term: new shoes! I ordered them online, they should arrive any day now. Looking forward to having something nice to wear in the summer.

    Mid term: forging our wedding rings! We have a workshop coming up in a couple weeks where we'll be forging our very own rings under supervision of a professional jeweler. Jewelry is a very lovely thing on it's own, even more so when I'll be creating them from scratch together with my partner - the love of my life.

    Long term: our wedding next year! There's still so much preparation to be done and so much money to save up until then, as well as the honeymoon right after that. It's all very exciting!!

  • Although I don't live with them, the topic comes up every time I am on the phone with my father. He keeps yapping and yapping about how great the motherland is, until I snap. It seems it's all he ever wants to talk about - Putin this, Ukraine that.

    Thank you for your advice, I'll try setting up some boundaries next time he calls.

  • Thank you for your advice. Unfortunately though, I don't live with my parents anymore. They seem to consume information mostly through telegram, news articles and Russian television. I wouldn't know how to shield them from those influences, I don't have access to all their accounts or devices.

    Ironically, my mom's husband is from Odessa, Ukraine, yet he still sides with Russia. They're small business owners and would likely profit from AFDs tax reforms. Their clients are also mostly "Russland-deutsche" and apparently most of them are also AFD voters. No wonder they were influenced towards this direction. Hard to tell if they have spoken to Ukrainian refugees, doesn't seem too unlikely given their clientele.

    I think your tip with money is right on the nose. I would also describe my family as opportunistic, now that you mention it, it sounds like a fairly accurate description.

    They don't seem fearful at all to me. My father for one thing believes Russia is the land of the free, where the government protects its citizens from evil NATO. I asked him what he thought about all those opposition journalists who disappeared or got jailed, or what about the laws forbidding to criticize the government on social media. His response was "nobody got jailed! It's all fake news! My colleague criticizes Putin all the time and nothing happened to him! It's those foreign agents and business crooks who got jailed, and rightfully so!"

    It's very frustrating, I feel you bro.

    Do you happen to have any resources on how to counter pro afd/ pro Putin arguments? I remember seeing a YouTube channel debunking Putins propaganda in Russian, but I don't know what they were called.

  • Heyo, what have you done this month to make yourself better?

    Jump

  • I finally started working out again! I also work from home and my Job made me miserable, but I'll be starting a new Job in November and that gave me hope and motivation to pull myself out of the depression hole.

  • Is sex toy a good alternative?

  • Who's to say he has a medical condition? My hands shake for some time after carrying heavy bags, but the shaking stops after a while. Maybe the guy strains his firearms a lot when he's masturbating?

    Got stuck on the first "real boss" because I don't have time to practice and playing for 1-2 hours on weekends doesn't get me anywhere. I guess I'll wait till the holidays where I can take two weeks off and grind my way through the boss then.

  • Do you have trouble explaining your job to people?

  • It's nice to find a fellow "insurance worker" amidst all them software engineers/ IT guys here on Lemmy 😄

  • Do you have trouble explaining your job to people?

  • Oh yes, I usually end up saying "I work in insurance" because any more specific than that and people look at me with question marks in their faces

  • What movie did you watch as I kid which you shouldn't have?

  • Starship trooper when I was still in kindergarten. The only thing I remember from this movie is the scene where the bug drills a hole in the soldiers head to drink his brain. Don't plan to watch this movie ever again in my life
