    It’s honestly just who I am, I don’t understand moderation. I’m from the US and moved to Germany, and it’s exploited a lot less, which is nice, but I either give everything or nothing.

      In a better world, being highly motivated to contribute to your neighborhood’s well-being and improvement would result in… a nicer neighborhood with happier, healthier people living in it.

      But now we’re all just miners, digging up gold nuggets and hoping it means we get paid a fraction of their worth, with no regard to what this giant strip mine will do to the land we live in or our successors inherit.

        I’d already learned German, but I did begin as an adult and I’ve got C2 German, so it’s not impossible.
