Yes, doing illegal things secretly is a valid use case for crypto. So far, it's also the only one

Why is it even a goal to stop kids saying these words

I have zero sympathy for people who don't use an ad blocker

Thanks, you said what I wanted to say but better. Let's not forget that CDU have been in power for the majority of the time for decades, and Germany is far left of the USA despite Democrats being in power for roughly half that same time. So the proof is in the pudding, so to speak

German people are just generally not very open to talking to strangers in general, so making friends with them takes a while. But there are so many expats here that you can easily make friends with instead so it's not bad really

I've lived in both Germany and the USA (very blue state) and strongly disagree with this. It's incredibly easy and cheap to immigrate to Germany and you get the same rights as any European, in the USA you have to jump through a million hoops and constantly fight for the right to stay, you can get ejected so easily

I think it's actually pretty debatable. Merz is left of Biden on some big issues, like being in favour of universal health care, and supporting unions and workers rights. One could argue that Biden is left of Merz on immigration and climate action but Germany is soooo far left of the USA there and so both of them are just pushing back towards a mid point, I very much doubt a USA under Biden would ever catch up to a Germany under Merz on those issues

The desire to overtake

The funny thing is that if you live in Europe and work for a US company, you also get the European perks. I really don't understand why more Americans don't move here

Wtf are you on about? There are a handful of hard right govts in Europe currently, but the majority of Europe is not, in fact by US standards you'd probably consider most parties here left wing (the US Democrats would be considered a right wing party here lol)

Immigration is also quite easy for an American, definitely easier than if you're from the middle-east. If you're capable of getting a qualified/skilled job or studying you can generally stay as long as you want in most places, and native English speakers are in demand.
