I was self-employed in media for around 10years. Mostly Album covers, posters and some clothing. Mostly in reggae. Than, with 37y, I did an "apprenticeship" for 3 years and now I'm a webdev. Mostly typo3 and a bit wordpress.

Try some good old German tales like "struwwelpeter". Was fun growing up ^^

German here, too. Due to a long history I had to get all teeth pulled. It took months and several dentists but I got all teeth replaced. At the end I had to pay around 2.5K for everything. The rest came from my insurance. I also have ADHD and get Medikinet prescribed. Together with my "mood enhancer" pills, I pay around 11 euros per month.

Depending how good you know your dealer it's not uncommon to get something upfront. Just like in legal businesses

When i was very young (around 3-5) i was giving everyone the middlefinger, because people laughed when a ~4y.o. does it. Only till my Mom told me, that it meant 'i like you'. Of course, I immediatly stopped doing it. Can't remember how long i believed it, but probably an uncomfortable long time.

This is your opportunity to build one.

As a non native english speaker, i have to ask. Is "routies" a real word?

[–] rawsta@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

I think you are a bit too general. Advertising has its place. It is not always negative. If You have a new product, like a new bike that helps with backpain (just as an example). Most of your targetgroup probably has already a bike and isn't looking for an improvement because their current bike is good enough. They don't even know there could be a more fitting bike for them. You do advertising not only to maximize You revenue but also to let people know about your new product and what it does better than the other bikes. Sure it's not always that way and marketing gets abused like hell... But there are non nefarious reasons to advertise.

But yeah... When big companies do it, it's usually crap to manipulate. One of the main reasons i switched from design (which is often just marketing) to programming.
