Das haben wir sogar. Das ist auch eine gute Idee.

Yeah, that's the other thing. I was a teenager in the 90s and just walking up to someone in public to hit on them or flirting with people who are working was seen as weird back then too. You met people through hobbies, school, parties or clubs.
"Approaching in public" can mean so many different things. What most women have a problem with is being approached in a situation where the man has some form of power over her. For example a cashier or server has to be friendly and smile or she will risk her job. Being approached is uncomfortable, because too many men don't understand it when the no comes with a smile. They are also in a position of power, because they can complain about her or make a scene and get her in trouble.
In this case the TSA agent has some form of power over her and could give her trouble if she refuses. She has no way of knowing if a "no" will be met with understanding or with him holding her up, being insistent, keeping her from passing. That's what makes it especially uncomfortable.
NRW. Rheinland, um genau zu sein. Hier gibt es auch seeehr viele "Wir haben das schon immer so gemacht"-Leute.
You know what the worst thing is? He wasn't the only one by far. Later at a different company another Teamleader told me I have to go out to eat with everybody. When I said the restaurant isn't save for me (lots of nuts on the menu), he just said I HAVE to come and that's what the Epipen is there for. I complained to HR and the HR lady asked why I don't just do a therapy against allergies. Told me about some esoteric bullshit that's supposed to cure all allergies and advised me to do that so I can better fit in with the company culture.
Just looking at the people around me (mostly colleagues, I'm not friends with this kind of people) it's no surprise, when just about anything triggers them to vote AfD. Some actual examples:
"We have a vegetarian day at the cafeteria now. Stupid Greens forcing me to not eat meat one day a week. I'm going to vote AfD next election."
"They built a new bicycle lane on my way to work. Now I'm forced to stick to the speed limit because of all the bicyclists on MY road blocking me. It's a straight street, I should be able to go 80 even though it's inner city. I've always been going 80 there! Stupid Greens, I'm going to vote AfD next election."
"Supplier X stopped issuing their bikini model calendar. Everything is forbidden nowadays! Noone ever cared for bikini model calenders, but the Greens want to forbid every little piece of fun. Stupid woke culture. I'm going to vote AfD."
And let's not forget that one boss who told me that my life-threatening nut allergy was woke nonsense, because back in his day "everybody just ate what's on the table and noone died, but nowadays everybody has to feel special by making up things they won't eat."
They just want to go back to 1950s culture, when gay people, trans people, allergies, ADHD, autism, veganism, climate change and anything other than straight white dudes and straight white housewives "didn't exist", because how dare the world be more complex than a Rosamunde Pilcher movie.
I have no trust in the current coalition to make that happen...
That's what people have been saying for years and yet the AfD is already the second strongest in the last election...

Breaking Bad. I liked it at the beginning, but it had too much violence for me. Or more specifically, violence being done as a crutch. Yeah, I get it, the character is ruthless and brutal yadayada. Lots of fake blood. Can we get back to the story?

A lot of the most popular Anime. I found One Piece pretty boring after the first few episodes. Same goes for Naruto. I do like Anime, but I mostly stick with shorter series that conclude the story in 20-30 episodes.

Black Mirror. The first couple of episodes were great, the rest was mostly the same with slight variations.
I feel like there is also a pathologization of being single. I was a teenager in the late 90s/early 2000s, so before most of social media. I'm also from a village where most people knew each other.
There were a couple of nerdy, shy guys who never had a girlfriend by the time of graduation. I only had one boyfriend at 16 for 2 month before his friend told me he was only dating me as a dare. I was "ugly" and "not a real girl" because I didn't wear makeup and mostly wore jeans and Tshirts. Stupid village kids.
Anyway, similar things happened to the nerdy guys. But no one started crying about all men/women being awful and no one became an incel. Several girls and boys in my class never dated by the time we graduated and that just wasn't a big deal. Nowadays everybody's being told there's something wrong with them if they've never had a partner by age 17.
Ich kenne so viele Leute, die befristetet beschäftigt sind oder Karriere nur durch Firmenwechsel machen. Bei uns in der Firma sehe ich ehrlich gesagt auch keine Wahl außer in den nächsten Jahren woanders zu schauen, wenn ich weiterkommen will. Da fühlt man sich natürlich nie richtig zuhause am Wohnort und geht nicht in Vereine.
Auf der anderen Seite waren meine Erfahrungen mit Vereinen auch nicht die besten. Beim Bogensportverein hat man direkt beim ersten Training klar gemacht, dass man hier nur für Wettbewerbe trainiert und Anfänger nicht erwünscht sind. Ich hatte ein Semester einen Kurs gemacht und wollte es im Verein dauerhaft fortführen. Daraus ist dann nichts geworden, nachdem einer der Leiter mich ins Kreuzverhör genommen hat und sehr klar gemacht hat, dass man hier weder Zeit noch Lust auf Anfänger hat.
Und dann ist da noch die Arbeitswelt. Erklär mal deinem Chef, dass du mittwochs grundsätzlich Punkt 17 Uhr gehen musst, um zum Vereinstreffen zu kommen. Werden halt auch die wenigsten mitmachen. Bitte steh grundsätzlich für Überstunden zur Verfügung und die Firma muss Prio 1 in deinem Leben haben.

Chemjo and Mascha flee to New York where she continues to write poetry in German, her mother language. By the time she wrote this poem she already lived in New York, where she suffered from loneliness and the fact that she could not get her German poetry published.

Ich glaub das ist eher was für später, das könnte jetzt noch zu frustrierend sein, so viele Wörter auf einmal zu jonglieren. Aber ich behalte es mal für nächstes Jahr im Hinterkopf, wenn sie hoffentlich B ist.
