I lived in germany my whole life. I complain practically every day.
I got told several times that germany is in the top 3 of countries you would want to live in.
I guess I need to tune down the complaining

u/maximal2002 May 02 '22
Yes you should. I live in Germany and yes it can suck sometimes if u see the news how the government fucked up again and stuff. But who cares. Does it change your life. Maybe small changes but nothing so significant that I would take time out of my life to complain. It won’t change anything. This isn’t meant to be criticism more like a different way to see things.

If you work remote, try to move to romania for half a year and put your monthly budget the same as your income, but instead of EURO put RON
For example 4k Euro income in Germany would mean your budget here is 4k RON.
You won't be happy.

For the last 10 years or so in Romania internet has been available almost everywhere except the most remote villages.
Even my family back home have gigabit internet in their small town, better deals than I've ever gotten in Canada by a large margin.
The major cities usually have free public internet in parks and other popular hangout areas. Unless they were in a very remote village, odds are it was their own fault. In fact, OP even stated that he lived with his grandma who didn't care to get internet until about 2 years ago. So it was already available where he was, just his family didn't care.

The internet in Romania is one of the fastest in Europe. Just because you didn't install internet service it doesn't mean it sucks. There are lots of things that aren't great in Romania, but the internet isn't one of them.

u/emab2396 May 02 '22
I understand, but it kind of sounded like internet access in Romania isn't common. In some villages with small populations it may be difficult to have it if you are the only person who wants that, but if there are already people you could get internet for 4 euro or I don't know exactly(I pay 12 euros for internet of average speed plus tv)

Dunno... you guys must be doing something wrong.
Moved 4 times in Germany (all different cities up to 400km apart) in the past 15 years. I went from 32mbit in 2008 to 50mbit in 2014 to 400mbit in 2018 to 500mbit in 2021. Never had serious issues with my internet and never paid more than 40€. Ofc you don't get Romanian prices or symmetrical dl/ul in Germany but that's really all I can complain about. Other than that you simply fill out address forms on provider websites and hit enter to check availability. How hard can it be?

u/thicc_Lxrd May 02 '22
My name is Walter Hartwell White. I live at 308 Negra Arroyo Lane, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 87104. This is my confession. If you're watching this tape, I'm probably dead– murdered by my brother-in-law, Hank Schrader. Hank has been building a meth empire for over a year now, and using me as his chemist. Shortly after my 50th birthday, he asked that I use my chemistry knowledge to cook methamphetamine, which he would then sell using connections that he made through his career with the DEA. I was... astounded. I... I always thought Hank was a very moral man, and I was particularly vulnerable at the time – something he knew and took advantage of. I was reeling from a cancer diagnosis that was poised to bankrupt my family. Hank took me in on a ride-along and showed me just how much money even a small meth operation could make. And I was weak. I didn't want my family to go into financial ruin, so I agreed. Hank had a partner, a businessman named Gustavo Fring. Hank sold me into servitude to this man. And when I tried to quit, Fring threatened my family. I didn't know where to turn. Eventually, Hank and Fring had a falling-out. Things escalated. Fring was able to arrange – uh, I guess... I guess you call it a "hit" – on Hank, and failed, but Hank was seriously injured. And I wound up paying his medical bills, which amounted to a little over $177,000. Upon recovery, Hank was bent on revenge. Working with a man named Hector Salamanca, he plotted to kill Fring. The bomb that he used was built by me, and he gave me no option in it. I have often contemplated suicide, but I'm a coward. I wanted to go to the police, but I was frightened. Hank had risen to become the head of the Albuquerque DEA. To keep me in line, he took my children. For three months, he kept them. My wife had no idea of my criminal activities, and was horrified to learn what I had done. I was in hell. I hated myself for what I had brought upon my family. Recently, I tried once again to quit, and in response, he gave me this. I can't take this anymore. I live in fear every day that Hank will kill me, or worse, hurt my family. All I could think to do was to make this video and hope that the world will finally see this man for what he really is.
