Hi!

I am considering moving to Mankato. I have a friend I could stay there with. Minnesota is also the state with the highest quality of living compared to the cost of living with Vermont being second place. I love winter and lived in MN for 8 years before going to Germany.

I went to Germany because a friend mislead me that a better life awaited me.

Produce is fresh, safe, and affordable hear round. Cost of living apart from gasoline and electricity are much cheaper. Working in Germany is super laidback and easy. I actually really like my job, boss, and colleagues, but I did not come to Germany to be a cleaner.

Everything else about Germany is worse. The people are politically apathetic and interpersonally wretched. I have met three times Trump voters more respectful to trans people and migrants than even average liberal in Germany. Strictly in the way I am ostracized and disrespected, a red state would even be preferable to living in Germany. I want to be considered a person again and this is a big reason I want to come back. Dating and making friends that are worth staying for has been fruitless. Also no one wants to get married or have kids in Germany, and it is not an economics thing, and dating outside of your box is heavily discouraged. It's worse because I do not really fit cleanly into boxes. I for example look Latina and Native American but am not, wrong continents, because I am part Italian and Mongolian. This specifically actually made it hard for me to find a job in MN when I last lived there.

Although I went to college in the USA, I do not have a degree, and I also do not have any certifications currently.

Depending on how long I can stay in Germany, I would likely get a B2 Telc German certification by the end of the year. Then I would aim for Telc C1 Hochschule German in Spring of 2027. I plan to get a C2 Goethe certification for the German language if I stay here until the Fall of 2027, but I could just get that one in Minnesota.

I have 5 years of experience in IT, but I doubt that helps. I have shoddy work history. I have mental health problems that make working a job that starts before 9 impossible.

What advice do you all have on finding jobs (bonus points for second shift work), dating women there, living in, and getting into the trades in Mankato? I lived in the Twin Cities previously.

Sorry if this is weird and out of left field, I have been lurking in this sub for some time, and have wanted to ask this for a while.

Thanks for reading and commenting.

Hi, I am an American living in Germany. Germany has the Ausbildung system where you are an apprentice and get free trade school for 2-3 years and recieve a certificate at the end of it. I am wondering if any of these programs will make me more able to ge tinto the trades or work in the trades back in the USA. I was wondering if American tradespeople know anything about the transferability of German Ausbildungs into the American trades. Thanks! I could not find anything about this online so I thought I would ask here.

I am not your conventional woman, sex with me can get you pregnant, I am looking for someone interested in dating, getting pregnant, and marrying. Look to have 3-5 kids naturally with you and adopt as many as you'll let me get away with as we get older. DM if interested.

I have a Logitech G305 light speed mouse. They have an issue where sometimes their sensor will derp out and throw a bunch of random inputs that can be extremely destructive randomly. My mouse did this and exited me out of my Minecraft world. Now my Minecraft 1.0 world is inaccessible, but still has an existing folder. I am wondering if anybody knows a way to recover Minecraft 1.0 worlds or any troubleshooting tips. I lost a week of progress and I'm really upset. The folder still has a lot of some sort of data in it as it is 116mb in size. If that info helps. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks for reading regardless.

Does anyone know the link to the wojack knight riding a wojack horse with a red wojack dragon in the background? I want to find the original /highest quality version of it so I can print it out. I have good reasons for this. Thanks! Please delete if not allowed I could not tell since I am not requesting a new jack to be made but an existing one to be linked. Thanks in advance!

I may need to leave the situation I have staying with my current roommates and my 300 a month subletting days will be over soon. I do not have a job. I do have some savings.

Hotels are at best like 1500 a month if I find one in the middle of nowhere. Hostels look like a good bet but luggage storage is a problem, switching every few days is annoying, and I don't know if I can keep stuff there safely during the day. Holiday homes could work but are often as expensive as the hotels. Appartments could work but who would rent out to someone here for only 3-9months?

Ideas? Good sites to check for them?

Does anyone have reccomendations for anIT Service Desk job phone interview tomorrow? It was framed as a just get to know you kinda call if that helps. Thanks for any advice!

Sain uu, I'm willing to help people learn English who are already speaking at like a B1 level. It's not that I don't want to help people who speak less than B1 English, but just because I am not certified in teaching English, i'm just not equipped to do it.

I'm also looking for somebody to teach me Mongolian, but I am a complete beginner. I need help learning speech, writing and reading cyrillic, and writing and reading script.

Important: You have to be okay with me being transgender. Listen, if you really don't like transgender people, find a different teacher.
