  • Wenn man einmal die Sauerlandlinie fährt oder die letzten Jahre gefahren ist, merkt man was es bedeutet Brücken zu sanieren. Unendliche Baustellen und natürlich auch kosten, die sich kurzfristig vermeiden lassen, was alle Regierungen auch jahrzehntelang getan haben.

    Der Super-Gau sind ja jetzt die Brücken die komplett gesperrt und abgerissen wurden, das zieht sich inkl Neubau ja auch über Jahre.

    Ich frage mich ob das früher auch alles so lange gedauert hat die ersten Brücken zu bauen.


  • I hear you, but I’m not here to fight or be accused, ridiculed or hated upon. You can’t save people from themselves.

    If it were only a few, but -60 within a few hours with such a small amount of Lemmy users tells me, this is not the place for civilized discussion. Not to mention that it got deleted… no thanks, I won’t be putting too much work and thought into critical comments anymore when there’s a risk of going to waste anyway.


  • Not only downvoted, but my comment was also deleted by someone after it had like 60 downvotes. When that happened, I started considering moving away from Lemmy right after coming here, because it seemed to be a worse echo chamber than Reddit had ever been.

    Only because it wasn’t easy and also not easily accessible via Memmy (which I really like) I stayed for the time being. For example, I can’t login to a kbin account (only subscribe to kbin communities) and I don’t have access to Mastodon using Memmy.

    So I guess already like Apollo kept me with Reddit, Memmy keeps me here for the time being. I stopped participating in anything remotely controversial though and became a lurker because I learned that day, discussion and a variety of opinions are not what the majority of users here are after. Maybe that’s true for all social media, idk…













  • Please don’t take the following the wrong way as it’s not meant to be judgmental.

    The fact that you can’t even imagine being employed somewhere AND having a fulfilling job at the same time shows quite some narrow-mindedness IMO. Maybe it’s from bad experience or some kind of ideological antiwork standpoint, I don’t know. But those jobs definitely exist, and it’s never as black and white.

    Every job has its downsides, but I would argue there’s always potential to find something better than what any person currently has going for themselves.

    Even with only 40 hours a week, a bit-fulfilling job would drain me too much, but I may be rather sensitive in that regard. As a result, I changed my career a few times, and for the first time in my life I feel like I’ve arrived in a place I can imagine doing for the rest of my life, while it also pays the bills.


  • Many company names are short wordplays or acronyms with the founders‘ name(s) or location, or with the kind of manufactured goods or types of business. Examples are ALDI, Lidl, Audi H&M, Adidas for names, or Prada, BMW for location, or IBM, SAP for types of business.

    The Asian way seems to be different though, as company names often represent symbols of good fortune, as in Samsung, Sony, Hyundai, but also Nike.

    It’s probably wise to avoid clichés (kool) or insults in common languages („Fuck“ printing and publishing in Germany) too.
