    Its a meme. Most europeans dont follow this lifestyle and maxxing is usually a way to refer to something thats exaggerated. Also languages change and maxxing, pilled, etc are completely natural developments. You could say latin words are stupid cause they are also formed with compounding words.

  • Sunbathing is shit. The sun is not your friend. There is no safe tan.

    Deciding to never run for a public transport connection ever again feels powerful, and relaxed!

    Wat. This does not resemble my experience over there at all. Though I’m sure the long weekend thing is pretty universal.

    I was bitching on the train about Br*ts due to brexit and the older German dude I was talking wouldn’t have a bar of it, calmly replied “they have to make they’re own choices and go their own way and that’s ok” or something to that effect. Auto Bahn was fine and everyone was super friendly when I proclaimed to be a tourist by stating in German “sorry I speak little German, do you speak English”? More often than not they complimented my pronunciation and replied in English.

    Hell in the smaller towns, shops didn’t even open on weekend before 10am. Shit was awesome. Would go back in a heartbeat. Though I will concede had I answered differently when they asked where I’m from, it may have been a slightly different experience.

    Espresso with every meal yet never in a rush is a level of calm I could never comprehend.

    Never be in a rush? Na man. The Dutch are always on time.

    That's the trick: leave enough time to definitely get there on time, and you'll never need to rush.

    I often see a guy on my commute who is running to catch his bus, and every time I think, dude just set your alarm clock 5 minutes earlier.
