Und schlimm ist, dass die meisten Bürger das „Problem“ Zuwanderung als eines sehen, unter dem primär Sie selbst leiden. Flüchtlingsheime in der Nachbarschaft, angeblich höhere Kriminalität, Verlust der eigenen Kultur etc…

Wenn dann leiden doch die Zuwandernden unter den Umständen oder sehe ich das falsch?

Vielleicht lebe ich in einer privilegierten Bubble, aber von dem „Problem“ Zuwanderung bekomme ich in meinem täglichen Leben nichts mit. Nur die Nachrichten suggerieren mir, es sei ein Problem.

Usually I don’t have a problem with narrow spaces, but being unable to move at all is a deal breaker for me. I feel like that would be seriously painful after a few hours, mentally AND physically.

You’ll need an exception handler for all those dropping panties.

Houseplants.

It started with a little green in the living room and suddenly turned into a full grown, humid, highly poisonous indoor jungle that’s thirsty as fuck. And it turns out that exotic plants, fancy pots, growing lights, different types of soil for different species, fertilizers, and dozens of liters of water every day are somehow expensive…

Edit: yes, I love it

Bei Populisten ist Eignung kein Kriterium für die Wahl des Regierungschefs.

Junge Junge. Dass man sich heute in der Öffentlichkeit so äußern kann, ohne etwas zu befürchten, ist echt bedenklich.

Eine moderne Maschine spült durchschnittlich effizienter als Menschen von Hand, also sowohl wasser- als auch stromsparender.

Das gilt auch für Töpfe.

Da kann man nur hoffen, dass die unterlassene Hilfeleistung angeklagt wird.

Everyone can understand the basic concepts of stoicism. Most of them are easy to understand, but hard to apply.

Unfortunately I can not recommend any English literature, but I see Deren Browns "Happy" getting recommended a lot. The books I read all had a practical focus, trying to apply stoic ideas to day-to-day life. Most stoics will recommend to also read historical literature, like Marcus Aurelius "Meditations" - this might be a bit too much for beginners.

For me personally, the most helpful stoic idea is the "dichotomy of control". It basically says that you shouldn't worry about things or facts you can't change ("externalities") and instead focus on the things that actually are under your control. And those are VERY few things.

A trivial example: Why should I worry about the "bad" weather during my holidays? I certainly can not control the weather and by nature, the weather is neither good or bad. It's my brain that gives a sunny day more value than a thunderstorm. So instead of complaining about the weather, I should try to make the best out of it and maybe even appreciate it.

Reading about stoicism. It’s like an ethical anchor in my life now, a guide to be happy. It’s like the upgraded version of religious belief, perfectly fitting in the 21st century (even though it’s thousands of years old).
