Love this game! Comes closer to the original Diablo gameplay than any other game in my opinion

There is a lot of confusion around anarchism, because it is a negative description: It’s a collective without leader, without governing institutions. It doesn’t say much about how this collective organizes instead. So you could call the chaotic state after a government coup Anarchy. But that isn’t what anarchists are talking about and I don’t think that is what OP meant either.

Anarchy as a deliberate system is when a group of people decides to work or live together without selecting a leader or any other form of government, instead resolving decisions that affect everyone together. In that sense it is not an interim state, a leadership-vacuum just waiting to be filled. Although of course Anarchy can transition into another system by various means, but so can every other system as well.

I think it is important to add that even though no system is perfect and every system has it’s pros and cons, that doesn’t make them equal. As soon as we define goals, for example equal rights, some systems will be better equipped at achieving those while others might be actively hostile to them.

That is a misconception. Anarchism is a equal distribution of power among all participants. This will not change “naturally”. It can be changed by either efforts from within to establish a single individual or group as a ruler over the rest, or by outside forces. Neither I would classify as happening just naturally.

In an anarchist society, that is a community without hierarchies and rulers, threats are handled by the community. So one person with a big stick would have to fight everyone else to establish their dominance.

There are already a lot of good tips, I just want to add that telling people to calm down never works. They are upset for a reason, even if it’s a nonsensical one.

If you happen to become the lighting rod for someone else’s anger it helps to remind yourself that they are not actually upset with you personally. You just happen to be caught in it.

Sometimes it is possible to use empathy to align yourself with them by agreeing that this situation is upsetting, validating their feelings. In the end they will have to deal with their feelings, you can’t do that for them. All you can do is move out of the way and maybe redirect it. In this situation you could say: yes this sucks. I’m very sorry, I wish I could help you, but I will lose my job if I try. These regulations are there to protect our patients, but sometimes they get in the way. Unfortunately I cannot do anything about that. If I could I would.

In the end this might or might not work to redirect their anger. How they deal with their anger is out of your control. That also means it is not your responsibility and you don’t need to take it to heart personally.

Here in Germany it depends on the region. But even within one region it can be different from friend group to friend group.

I grew up in southern Germany with handshake as default greeting. Except women often get a hug instead. If you know someone well it’s more likely to greet with a hug with men grasping each other’s hand before a short hug and slap on the back. However, if you see them a lot you might just give them a nod. On the others hand id you haven’t seen them in a while they get a hug.

In East Germany, where I live now, it seems to be much more common to hug your friends. Interestingly some will put their head on the right, reaching with their left hand over your shoulder. Which can be very awkward, when you are used to the opposite and almost kiss.

Some of these comments are way too harsh!

I agree there is nothing wrong with your behavior. I think people are insensitive or just ignorant of others financial situation.

There are a lot of people who can’t afford too many unnecessary expenses. Still there are those who never had to think to much about expenses like drinks in a bar or food in a restaurant. They might not even be conscious of the fact that the people around them might have it different.

Then there is the general stigma around money, especially not having any. Many people are actively afraid that others could think they don’t have money. Feelings of shame and embarrassment around money are not uncommon. These are strong enough to lead to second hand embarrassment, seeing someone else showing signs of not having money. This can be very uncomfortable for them to experience, especially if they weren’t aware of it or don’t have much experience with it.

That is why it’s nice not to assume that everybody in the group can afford to go to a bar. I know it’s not easy to talk about money, but I think it’s important to be upfront with your wealthier friends if you can’t afford to go to the bar. They might reconsider going to somewhere else or someone’s flat instead or just invite you. It shouldn’t be upon the less wealthy to do this, but it’s an unfortunate reality in most circles I know. The only exceptions are circles where it’s common to have no money…

As for the bar and staff: they might talk and joke about it, because it’s unusual, but they would be pretty short sighted to mind it. If you come with a group that pays, they make money. You could always leave and find some place that doesn’t mind that one of you won’t order anything.

You could try a sort of compromise and order a glass of tap water, assuming that it’s free in your country of course. That way you order something, but make it clear that you won’t spend any money. You are not sneaking in and instead being upfront with the staff.

In any case don’t let yourself get bullied into spending money, when you can’t or don’t want to. I have myself been in the situation often enough that I couldn’t really afford such expenses or rather wanted to save my limited money to spend it somewhere else. It’s already an uncomfortable place, made harder by situations like that. However, there is nothing wrong with not having a lot of money and being open about it.

Konkret werfen sie ihren Kollegen Folgendes vor:

• Sie verwendeten nicht alle Daten, die ihnen vorlagen. Bestimmte Jahre würden ausgelassen.
• Bei der Berechnung der Durchschnittswerte gewichteten sie Einzelfälle ungewöhnlich stark.
• Bei der Verarbeitung der Daten in einer Excel-Datei haben Rogoff und Reinhart fünf Staaten offenbar versehentlich nicht berücksichtigt. Das allein soll den Durchschnittswert für das Wachstum hochverschuldeter Staaten um 0,3 Prozentpunkte gesenkt haben.

Das liest sich ehrlich gesagt weder wie ein “Fehler” noch als seien sie zu dumm gewesen…

Not me personally, but when I was hanging with a couple of friends we talked movies with good twists and of course classic The Sixth Sense came up. One of my friends says he hasn’t seen it, yet. So of course we recommend it to him and don’t say anything about the twist. Unfortunately another friend was just coming back from the toilet and hadn’t heard that someone hasn’t seen the movie, yet. Only heard us praising the Sixth Sense, so comes back and directly goes:

Ich finde es immer großartig bei solchen Verschwörungstheorien, wie deren Inhalt das Denken und die Wünsche der Autoren verraten.

Also erst sind die Aldebaraner verantwortlich für alle Menschen “Rassen”, durch Geschlechtsverkehr mit Urmenschen natürlich. In der nächsten Version sind sie die Väter vor allem oder nur der Arier.

Erst braucht es die Aldebaraner damit es überhaupt Menschen gibt, weil wie den sonst, Evolution etwa? Dann verfallen die aber natürlich sofort in Kriege sobald die Aldebaraner wieder abreisen. Denn es braucht eine klare Führungsriege, sonst geht nix. Ist ja klar.

Super finde ich auch, dass immer versucht wird soviele andere Verschwörungstheorien wie möglich einzubauen. Vril-Gesellschaft, Reichsflugscheiben, die müssen natürlich erwähnt werden, auch wenn sie die ganze Geschichte nur komplizierter und unglaublicher machen. Quasi Verschwörer Fan-Service. Vielleicht auch damit man mit jeder neuen Theorie nicht wieder ganz von vorne anfangen muss.

Schade nur dass Verschwörungstheorien fast unweigerlich immer in irgendwelchem rechten Schwurbel enden…

One way would be sponsorships. Depending on your target audience you could sponsor your local sports team, twitch or YouTube content creators. You could also donate your product in the hopes that it gets picked up by local papers or generates strong word of mouth.

Well, you convinced me!

Yeah, I guess you must have watched it when you were young to really get into it. Watched it a couple of years ago for the first time, because it is such a classic, and was so underwhelmed and bored.

This one is pretty good to find new communities! User Akhuyan puts a lot of effort into posting new communities.
