raftaa··on International Travel Guide for Basecamp employees
Because the costumer wants some of the developers on site to see that they are actually working on his problems.
raftaa··on German traffic light stays red for 28 years (2015)
Yes, we Germans generally stop at red lights (even a lot of pedestrians do so). I guess most of us respect most of our traffic laws (except for speed limits).
raftaa··on Czech climber Adam Ondra has conquered the Dawn Wall in record time
Yeah, but it was also nice to see him struggling with his nervousness. Just like the rest of us. Maybe he's just human too.
raftaa··on TTIP Leaks
"And the company and the executives pay taxes from the bottom line" ... this is sarcastic isn't it?

raftaa··on My dad hid his depression. I won’t hide mine
My dad had kind of a typical (?!) depressive career: he worked a lot. First, he had a tinnitus and some years after that he had "burnout". 6 months after my dad retired he tried to jump into death. After 2 weeks of coma he was like mentally switched. It was christmas and we told him that he'll be grandpa in a few months. Now, 5 years later he says that this helped a lot. He still does therapy. He found the therapist that fitted him perfectly. Its still work to do but he works on it. The therapist told him that he has a trauma like many Germans which were born in the generation after world war 2. The trauma is the root cause and he has a chance to overcome this trauma. We will see. My wife's uncle didn't worked his first depression and recently - about 10 years after the first breakout - he's depressive again.
