In Germany and I bet in other Europe countries as well, there are official free legal advise dates in courts. You just go there and ask a lawyer for free legal advice. I think that is your best and easiest bet. If they tell you to sue then you might have a shot and can potentially get quite a bit of money back

Are you aware how much a printed newspaper costs nowadays? Are you also aware how few have a newspaper subscription or buy them at a stand?

One time use though - for the vacuum cleaner and the house as well as the user

Actually now that I think about - excellent combo-deal

On your back obviously, do you even lift?

It is a crime to cross the Autobahn

It can already not be stealing since that requires the stolen object to be in fact a physical (and a moveable one at that) object. Stealing non-physical property does constitute a crime, but it’s not stealing.

Note: this is very specific to your country of origin and may not be true for your country or the applicable law in the case of international crime

Sort of in the way that I frequently think I am too lazy to start. When you’re into the action, you don’t really question it anymore - or anything for that matter- but just go with the flow. When it’s done you don’t regret it either.

I know plenty of guys that regularly have Sex, but still own or tried fleshlights or other toys.

I get your argument, but I’d say it’s probably better suited for life-sized realistic Sex dolls

Let then then, it’s nice and cool in the morgue and with some luck you can become an undead

Frankly speaking, I see no actual chance of communism or even just socialism happening in my lifetime, hence I’d rather focus my remaining brain capacity on something that actually seems feasible.

It is not a finite solution but it is what it is.

Look I’d actually support socialism or at least strong social-capitalism. Just wanna make that clear.

Arguing certain things worked way better during the GDR does not at all refute my point of it not being a democracy apart from on paper. Child care for one worked incomparably better than it now does. Privatisation and more importantly the dissolvement of companies did not go well and is certainly still a problem. Actually it caused neo-feudalism in parts of the former GDR.

Stalin being officially reproachable does not actually mean he was reproachable. The kind of socialism the USSR practiced is in my opinion not all better than a well restricted capitalism. But to be fair, that is subjective and I am financially not in any kind of trouble.

It was not meant to be racist, the history of violence in Russia since I am vaguely aware of its history, does speak of itself. Certainly in the years since the founding of the RF, has violence among the people and state-sanctioned been a common thing. The wide-spread unrestricted violence can be openly observed in Ukraine. If you look at any macro-violense theories you see my point proven. All and I mean all factors for mass-violence are fulfilled.

Also if anything, my comment was xenophobic, racism is something different

Technically Belarus and Russia are democracies

Ah right so we go ad-hominum now? Frankly pretty low of you. Also it just sounds like a way to say that I am not allowed to have any differing opinion, simply because of my country’s past. Makes me want to find out where you’re from and tell you you’re not eligible to say anything because your country fucked up badly in the past.

You expect me to believe that USSR votes weren’t rigged from the get-go? Next you tell me the GDR was an actual democracy. To be fair I actually didn’t know that there were elections, which in hindsight should be obvious considering that they had a parliament. They still had dictators of much the time

As for the violence part, not that I am supporting that, but frankly it seems to be pretty much part of the Russian identity. It’s not like the USSR was not to take a friendly approach to any kind of civil unrest at all.

Quite funny of you to mention undemocratic in the context of the USSR, as if it had been a democracy even one day of its existence. And about illegal, most of the times a country and its constitution is absolved its technically illegal. I can only think of the German constitution that actually has clauses on how to legally phase it out.

And unregulated hyper-capitalism is what happens when communism fails

As for PhDs, I don’t know the system in the USA, in Germany you can become a part-time teacher for your subject at university. Which means that your PhD is free and you get payed a little, normally enough to provide for your everyday and rent. Maybe there are doctorate programs geared towards US students.

Also maybe this info by the German Federal Ministry for Foreign Affairs can be helpful.

If you have any further questions on working in Germany, pls do consider asking on the English-speaking German subreddits for further information. They are quite a big community and should be able to offer more info and in particular more detailed info for your craft.

Anyhow I wish you good luck and maybe we can welcome you in Germany.

Not that it really matters to speak other languages, but it does help.

I know that a lot of German companies constantly need new personell and have a lot of engineering firms (I believe you study /have studied engineering)

Just to try to help here: have you considered applying for a job abroad? There’s a few countries that have labour shortages in a lot of areas, mostly European countries.

Alright I am done for it, gotta quickly think of something to hoard so that I can make some profit afterwards
