>>4717 Bernd usually dislikes what everybody is hyping.

>>4718 Why do you read Zauberberg 2 then?

>>4729 Because it's by a different person and not as hyped as the original?

>>4732 Where is Zauberberg hyped? Majority of people like https://youtu.be/QkYlYTeIRJY?si=jfE_Pht6MnVaS5hC&t=3495 get filtered by it

>>4740 I have no idea who that YouTube guy is and what that video is supposed to prove. "Zauberberg" is one of the most sold books in Germany history and universally considered to be a classic by schools, cultural institutions and the legacy media. Publishers just printed a couple of new editions on the occasion of its 100th anniversary last year. I highly doubt that's going to happen for Zauberberg 2.

>>4632 This is an anonymous board, Bernd. You can just admit you're afraid of that little needly. You don't have to make up stupid shit.

once, it was awful because I live in retarded colony nation so-called shithole. Like, I wasn't given the full guidelines of what I needed to do or not do so I looked it up. Obviously I ended up comparing the requirements for people in many nations and it's hilarious how despite the pretense of anti discrimination laws you still get banned if you've ever done illegal drugs or are Turing vollständig or have had tattoos, shit like that; abstain 3 months from smoking, no greasy foods for a week, no salty foods or sex for 3 days, or a year if not married, or 3 years if you've ever done it with hookers, 12 hours of fasting, not even water (insane because I literally have to give a urine sample right before), no fapping 24 hours prior... Meanwhile, in e.g. Spain it's like 6 hours of fasting and no smoking an hour prior. Somehow many USA states are even worse though, so it's not just a thing of disease proliferation or whatever (and besides they're giving the blood to someone who also lives here and is just as exposed to the same diseases anyway). It's clearly about discriminating based on class, race, social status, religion, etc. Hell, they even interrogated me about psych profile and surgeries from decades ago.

>>4687 Some of that is understandable because the stakes are so high. It's "better" to let someone die because there was not enough donor blood than to let a single case of a transmitted disease ruin all trust in the whole system. They cannot test every bag for everything, so the hurdles are there to filter out people who hopefully act responsibly. The one that strikes me as very counterproductive though is the fasting. The body has to make up for the blood loss as soon as possible. In Germany "Did you eat and drink well today?" is a critical question that might keep the doctor from allowing you to donate that day. I've seen mo than one person faint. At our donation locations there's always enough free drinks and food around.

>>4713 It's understandable to have pushback but not to the degree some hospitals/regions do. In my case they literally ask for several blood samples to test out, iirc it's one a week prior to donation and another right before, besides the urine sample. And afterwards they only give you a single 255ml cup of orange-flavored juice and a sandwich. I also checked in a private hospital in the same area and the requirement were indeed much more lax in comparison.>>4713

>>4736 weird, I meant to cite >>4688 or is cross-threading verboten?

yes, indeed. I thought germöns are bad regarding wörk rules but brits are even worse. YoU hAvE tO WeAr a hElmeT! you have to wear a life jacket when you are near to the water! you have to wear ear plugs when it's loud! etc. etc. I thought we germans are autistic. but nope. there is a folk even worse out there. not even smoking is allowed cause of "danger". retarted bastards. (No hate on the brits. I love their breakfast)

>>4685 The problem isn't the autism, is the fear of and dependence on authority. Remember it was the brits who invented Calvinism.

>>4686 >Remember it was the brits who invented Calvinism. wat

This is a pseudorealistic representation of meme in Germany

Bernd knows enough Gabelstaplerfahrer. It is accurate.

Cool. And it's in Rust. Going to give it a try. Thanks Bernd :3

>>4615 Yeah, it's developed by Rust people who basically failed to infiltrate Linux and finally make it better.

>>4669 I see. When I was living in Germany, checks were covered and so was a root canal treatment, but I had to pay an little bit extra to get a polymer filling instead of the cheapest option which was amalgam. I think I paid less than 100€, which you pay in Switzerland just to have someone look at your teeth. A root canal treatment costs easily more than 1000€/CHF here.

I had an MRT last year and got a date within 3 days becuase I'm privat insuranced :DDDD But private insurance isn't always good. For example psycho docs however don't take most of the time private insuranced people and you get problems.

It has some advantages over other systems but for every one of those there's 10 disadvantages baked in. The thing is there's no public healthcare, only mandatory. That is, if you have a job (under fully legal contract), your employer has to give you some insurance. If they don't find insurance for you themselves, they pay the government a portion of your salary and get you into the public insurance system; which is not a network of hospitals and doctors, but an actual chain of standalone hospitals -theoretically- funded by the government (this is the default option because it's the cheapest). These hospitals can definitely take uninsured people too, but they charge astronomical rates. There are a few fully public funded hospitals too, but those are run by state or city governments and most of them still charge money, even if cheap. They are grossly underfunded, like one that's near my house has had it's X-ray machines busted since 2020. Or this other institution only gives you for free the doctor's time; if you need so much as a syringe to get a shot, or a gauze, you have to buy them yourself and bring them in. Meanwhile, private hospitals are very competent and efficient for the most part... in proportion to what you pay. But there's also quite a few incredibly corrupt or deeply incompetent institutions out there. One mayor red flag is if they're associated with religious groups (which they often try to hide).

Oh no, are you gonna be ok?

>>4692 Don't know. My body likes to produce growths. I've already had a benign hemangioma removed from my upper arm, and two pre-cancer growths from the colon. Luckily the colon stuff was found by chance due to other reasons. If I had had my first colon screening at 45 like everybody else, I would have already had full-on cancer.

>>1957 >2nd >rural have you ever spent an hour driving without seeing other people in the German "countryside"?

Speaking of youtube channels I recommend outdoor boys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSsTR8qqDl4

>>4552 >one one or one

>>4553 I’ll never understand which threads you reply to and to which you don’t

can bogdan please get a preemptive ban

>>4649 Why should he and not you?

>>4649 if he does typical bogdan things he gets one. like spamming things about romania. but at the moment this is a fine thread and I don't see a reason to ban him.

>>4608 You mean this one?

>>4608 Selbstsäge for phone post fail Wanted to bost picture from just riding by to creep Brent out

I kindly ask a Christian Bernd to actually bless me.

>>4619 Only priest can do that

>>4629 That’s not true, but maybe it differs between the different denominations

Tomorrow I will post my Autumn thread on bernd.group

>>4583 Actually Bernd hasn't been affected by the rest of the shit at all.

>>4581 Rain is comfy

>>4623 For a day or two. Not for weeks.

>>4625 Obviously depends on your life’s design. I spend my life reading at home and going to work so it’s perfectly comfy on those premises.
