    Oracle Cloud is the bane of my existence. You login to get to another login mask, which uses a different login. Usually one of the logins forces you to change the password, as I rarely login. And I am probably stupid with it, but it seems that even when you just changed your password, it may not work, while the previous one still does. Basically every time I login I try myself through 5-6 passwords to find the currently working ones. And then you are typically in the wrong data center and changing it may force you go login again. Overall a horrible experience, I would recommend to no one.


  • specialist wait times are usually less than 2 weeks.

    No they are not. The average wait time is currently 30 days. So if you are living somewhere where a lot of specialists are available: good for you. You are the other extreme.

    I don’t, however. For oculists & urologists I wait ~6 months, for dentists ~4 months, for otolaryngologists I wait (with lots of trying as I require them monthly) ~2 months and for the psychiatrist (with the ability to diagnose autism) I am still waiting since nearly 2 years now.

    it’s normal the pension system has to be adjusted from time to time. it has been done before and there is lots of time to do it again when necessary.

    2030. One single term. This year the governments supplements the pension system with 121 Billion euro, from tax money which could also be used for other much needed renovations. And each year it is a bigger part of the pot, as more people take from the pension system than people who pay into it. 2020 it was 100 payers, 57 takers. 2030 it will be 67 takers. 2050 it will be 77 takers. This system is everything but stable.

    Germans can also have private pensions on top.

    That is coming from a very privileged position. Not everyone is able to do so.

    in other countries it’s completely private or even from the employer, which is a lot more unstable.

    Agreed, but saying “it worse elsewhere” is not an argument. Its better elsewhere too and that is what we should aim for. I am absolutely for a pension system, but one which works long term and for everybody.

    higher politician pension is important to help avoid corruption.

    Yeah, thats what the politicians say and a lot of them are still corrupt as fuck. You know, there is only 1 political party which does not accept donations/bribes but solely depends on the memberships, and that is “Die Linke”. Members Of the Bundestag also donate the bigger part of their salaries to good causes. They only retain the average German salary.

    there is no downfall. the only thing that could happen is doomers like you making people vote AfD by driving them with fears to right wing populists and turning the country fascist again.

    I am for positive change, benefiting the many. And that sure as hell ain’t the AfD. Now let me take a potshot as well: based on your post you love the “Weiter so” mentality of CDU/SPD and maybe it is your inability to embrace change that makes this world a worse place and drives people towards the Afd.


  • What the fuck happened?

    Well 16 years basically nothing, then a little bit before the government imploded. But don’t worry there is an election soon and the top 2 parties are populists and one of them is openly fascist. So give us another couple years and everything will surely fall into place… any moment now…

    How is the largest EU economy so incompetent it produces A homeless rate on a scale of a super power?

    You know how Germany has universal healthcare? Well, doesn’t mean shit if you have to wait for a specialist (like a psychologist) months to years. Oh but don’t worry, Politicians (+some others) have a different, better Version. They can get any specialist in days and most cost is covered by the state. So they surely have the best interests at heart for the 90% of population who just get the basic healthcare.

    And if that isn’t enough our pension system is dying pretty fast as well, as it is basically a pyramid scheme. So we currently have lots of old folks not getting enough money, and not enough young people to pay for that, even though the young have to pay more and more. But don’t worry, if you think this is bad: it will be getting a lot worse. Because this trend is continuing, young people paying a lot right now, will receive even less later. I honestly do not think I will have enough money to even eat when I am older, despite having a good job and paying 18,6% (50/50 split with the employer) of my income towards the pension system. Oh, and take a guess who is exempt from that. Politicians (+some others) again. Who get as much pension for 4 years of “work” as the average person gets after their whole work life. So surely, they will fix that too.

    Germany was trending upwards until 1982, then our version of Reagan put the downfall in motion. Any time now.
