Of course, but how often would you go to a coffee place? If you work in an office, coffee is usually free anyways.

As a poor European:

Coders saying “but me a cup of coffee” for $8.

I buy a pack of coffee of 250g for ≈ $3. An average cup, according to Google, is 7.5g.

That’s $0.40 for a cup.

(Or about 9 beers)

People coming over for work/business: expats.

Unemployed people migrating to look for a better life or job: (im)migrants.

That’s how I understood it.

I’m kind of in between. I’m not an expat, but immigrant doesn’t sound right neither. I just call myself a foreigner.

It’s strange how I’ve seen this exact claim before. How many expats do you know? I know a bunch of expats and there are quite a few Asian people in the expat community.

Not at all :) But I suppose it was obvious I was a tourist

Yes, I didn’t spend a lot of time in Germany but it happened several times. I traveled by train and they claim the train stations are where people do their business

It would at least help if they stop assuming the only reason a foreigner from the free west would come through Germany is to sell weed.

They make you empty your pockets and pat you down.

They look like gangsters claiming to be police, don’t even show a badge until you ask for it, they want all your stuff, like your wallet, to search through it.

At least it takes away one reason for undercover German police to annoy foreigners with their “random” drug tests

I’m getting a LemmyAPIException when I try to upvote since yesterday. Now I notice I’m getting the same error when I try to post from the app.

Nobody ever asks about gaps on my CV. They always turn me down, list some bullshit reasons, like not enough experience and end with “and then there are some gaps on your cv so yeah”
