Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

While making fun of German bureaucracy is OK, keep in mind who is behind it: the INSM is a strict anti people, pro business lobby group. If they had their ways, anything "social" would be killed off to finance tax breaks for the rich.

I'm thinking the British need to let them know they're a good 50 years late on this joke.

It’s the Germans. Everyone knows they don’t have a sense of humour. They have to import jokes

How many Germans does it take to screw in a light bulb?

One. Because Germans are efficient and lack humor.

When I lived in Germany I told this joke to a bunch of people.

Foreigners were either slightly offended (for the jab at germans) or found it chuckle worthy.

Germans couldn't stop laughing.

Hey, careful now. German jokes are no laughing matter...

Might need to wait for approval to do that.

Curious how at no point do the creators of the museum highlight the deficient funding for enough civil servants and how taxing the rich could pay for much of this to go away.

Paper is evil and pointless.

I'm working in the digitalization of the German bureaucracy, and I can tell you: paper is not the problem.
