You don't get the saying. If you do heroin it kills you. Like even literally.

If you can overcome the addiction, you will eventually come out stronger.

It's not meant to be applied on an actionable scale, but rather on a strategic one. Kind of like "learn from your failures."

    Ah yes, and your critic is definitely not based on the rage it got online, right? You can easily name me a popular show that you were also analyzing deeply and will not get tired about roasting, right?

    Illegale Löhne - wo am besten melden? (feddit.org)
     

    Ein Kumpel von mir hat noch keine Staatsbürgerschaft. Er ist deshalb einigermaßen gezwungen bei seinem jetzigen Arbeitgeber zu bleiben. Dieser nutzt diese Situation gnadenlos aus und zahlt ihm (und vielen Kolleg*innen) unter Mindestlohn.

    Wenn ich ihm helfen möchte ohne das sein Name auftaucht bzw. er unter die Räder kommt, wo gehe ich am besten hin? Meine erste Idee war die Gewerbeaufsicht.

    (Polizei schließe ich kategorisch aus.)

    The fashion show prank actually is in favor of the industry (youtu.be)
     

    A few years ago (linked for reference) a group of friends faked a fashion look to get access to an important fashion show. The narrative was that the industry is pretentious and can easily be trolled.

    However, objectively they just proved that it is about creativity and not money. They actually showed that the industry cares more about art than being famous or rich.

    Hilft es, wenn ich "Divers" angebe, obwohl ich es technisch nicht bin? (feddit.org)
     

    Ich habe aus Solidarität angefangen, in allen (nicht-behördlichen) Formularen "Divers" anzugeben. Technisch gesehen bin ich allerdings ein Cismann. Meine Idee war, zu zeigen, dass mir die Anrede nicht wichtig ist, ich in einer Welt leben möchte, in der es nur noch neutrale Anreden gibt und auch die Statistiken eben in die Richtung drücken möchte.

    Die Frage die ich mir stelle ist, ob ich der Sache damit wohlmöglich eher einen Bärendienst erweise? Entziehe ich der Sache so die Ernsthaftigkeit?

    [answered] - [question] Searching for a book where a group of friends hunts people (thriller) (feddit.org)

    Edit: I found it! It is "Open Season by David Osborn."

    Original:

    Hey ☺️

    A few years ago I read a book where a group of friends kidnapped strangers to hunt them down. It was a yearly (?) event for them. They went to a cabin and released the victims into the woods. After a given time they started stalking them. It was set in the US. They basically pretended to be just old school friends having a traditonal reunion weekend in their cabin.

    I could have sweared it was just called "Hunting Season." However, I do not find it under this name. Same goes for "Killing Season."

    If I recall correctly, the book was released in the 70s, maybe the 80s.

    Is anyone of you able to identify that book?

    Thank you so much!

    Disappearance of Lars Mittank (en.wikipedia.org)
     

    Mittank was documented acting strangely while alone in Bulgaria. He called home to his mother claiming that people were trying to kill him. On the day when he was supposed to fly home, Mittank went to the Varna Airport to consult with a doctor. He was later seen on airport security footage running out of the airport and towards an adjacent forest. He has never been seen since.
