There were a few shy introvert people I met. Those people tend to really just be there to see the sites. They'd stay in during the evenings. Sometimes you'd strike up a decent conversation and convince them to go out for a drink. Since I can easily adapt to different types of people, I find it always interested to get into the mind of everyone, especially when they are the quiet type.

As a shy, calm person let me officially thankyou for being like a guardian angel allowing us shy folks to come a little out of our shell!

"Hell is other people"

Also, this quote is notoriously (ab)used completely out of context as in its real meaning, Sartre was basically saying that some people can be hell if you cannot escape them, at the end of his book "No Exit". This is not some general misanthrope statement about all people as it is often presented as.

It is a depiction of the afterlife in which three deceased characters are punished by being locked into a room together for eternity, and is the source of one of Sartre's most famous and most often misinterpreted quotations, l'enfer, c'est les autres ("Hell is other people"), usually taken to refer to people in general, but in the context of the play it becomes clear that it means that certain other people can be the most effective form of hell.

Thanks for doing the AMA! Cross-post a link to r/germany, r/frankfurt!

This is kind of distorted for various reasons that I am not going to get into now, but it is a still a very high crime city (not compared to major cities in the US tho, I guess).

  • I felt like it is a very safe town, so I am not sure what this "high rate" is in numbers and what the offenses are... where is Frankfurt actually dangerous and what might happen in those areas? I think those statistics are "skewed" by e.g. pickpockets on the airport, right? Frankfurt feels more like a village grown out of proportion a little than a huge financial capital, somehow, and the numbers support that.

  • OK, tell me everything you know about the Bahnhofsviertel and how it works, the different "layers" of society/subcultures there! How does the prostitution there work in terms of business, who owns those huge places and who runs them? I was surprised at how "professional" and detached it all seemed to be... I didn't feel unsafe there, actually. If they want customer, they have to provide security, I guess, right? And it cannot be a coincident all those places are within short walking distance from the banking district.

  • Regarding possession of MJ for personal use, is it really THAT lax?? Even for non-German EU citizens or foreigners?

  • Where do you recon do most drugs in Frankfurt come from, what are the biggest channels and parties involved?

  • One last thing: is it really part of your training to look at driver's pupils when stopping them as an indication for possible intoxication and then pointing a frakking maglite in their face to test pupil-reaction times to make sure???
