Thank you for your attention to this matter.
It’s a crazy party here. Everyone has been tailgating since the morning. Everwhere you go you see these tents with people drinking and having a BBQ. We should introduce this in Germany before games as well!
When I was a teenager, I didn't know of a single peer who skipped getting their driver's license the moment they turned 16. It was a rite of passage and a ticket to freedom, and nobody in their right mind would pass that up.
Today, though, I regularly encounter young adults well into their 20s who still haven't learned to drive, and have no plans to get a license. At the risk of sounding like an old man: what the hell is wrong with kids these days?

A woman was a Starbucks barista for 5 years, then spent 3 years at Starbucks corporate on the operations and product team.
She left in 2024. She still goes to Starbucks every single day.
She told me: "I stand in line and watch people spend $7 on a drink I make for $3.50 using the same ingredients. I watch them tap their credit card at the register and earn half the Stars they should be earning. I watch them order a Venti because they think bigger means more coffee it doesn't. I watch them use their birthday reward on a $3 drip coffee when it covers a $12 Venti with every add-on in the system. I watch them walk past the free refill they're entitled to because they don't know the policy exists."
"Starbucks is a $110 billion company. It makes its money on one simple principle: most customers don't understand the menu, the app, or the rewards system well enough to make the choices that save them money. The menu is designed to steer you toward the highest-margin drink. The app is designed to feel convenient while hiding the moves that lower your bill. And the rewards system is designed to feel rewarding while ensuring you spend more than you save unless you know how to flip it."
"I spend $3.50–$4.50 per visit. The person behind me spends $7 for the same caffeine. Same store. Same barista. Same espresso machine. The difference is I know how the system works."
Here are the 10 things she does that most Starbucks customers have never tried:
