    This may or may not be an unpopular opinion, but here it goes: Individualized wedding vows are stupid anyway, so you might as well use Google or ChatGPT for it. In the past, wedding vows were mostly the same for all couples and represented the cultural and/or religious context in which the wedding took place. They were also often generic and short, and their significance was mainly due to tradition and the fact that all couples made the same ones.

    The huge, hyper-individualized wedding ceremonies we have today are great for wedding planning businesses, but it’s okay to not want that, so long as your spouse is on board with it.





  • Reasons for dissatisfaction can be different from reasons for emigration. They might be a subset, a superset, or have no overlap whatsoever. I am also dissatisfied about certain things, but these things are no reason for me to leave the country. So what makes them leave? Is it immigration like the commenter suggested? Is it the rise of anti-immigrant political parties that threaten democracy? Is it both? Neither? Something else? The article does not say. Hell, one reason why people say “I want to emigrate” could be that they don’t know what the word means, or how the question was phrased together with the tendency of survey respondents to respond in the affirmative.




  • Hier in Hamburg sehe ich aber auch Sachen, bei denen auch für die Verursacher offensichtlich sein dürfte, dass das falsch ist (z.B. Linksabbieger, häufig E-Auto, die an der Ampel stehen und sobald es grün wird Gas geben und eiskalt vor dem Gegenverkehr abbiegen). Bei vielen ist es eine Kombination aus Inkompetenz und Fahrlässigkeit.
