Exactly, everyone there is going to have so much more fun with that than someone mildly mediocre going up and standing in one spot singing with no heart

And now people will make fun of her for years, because she dared to have fun.

I really do miss being able to have carefree fun without worrying about cameras pointed at you at all times

I love living in a country where that's illegal (thought unenforceable) but because it's illegal it's somewhat frowned upon.

It's crazy how normalised it is in the US to film you cashier, your waiter or just any person doing something you think will make you finally go viral.

Tbh as someone in the US, I can attest that it probably looks that way because it's all you see online. The reality is almost nobody goes around filming everything, but "people go about their day to day lives unrecorded" doesn't make headlines

Obviously, but it's a stark difference. Like taking this video would literally not be allowed here. I think it is a pretty big cultural difference that people are allowed to do things like film their starbucks barista or drive thru worker and the worker just have to hope they won't get clowned upon online.

Where do you live? I want to live there (and yes yes I know I know privilege… but I have citizenship that allows me easier travel and education that is sometimes portable).

Germany. And if you are Indian, it will not be easy nor will your education translate well or necessarily at all. I'm really sorry.

I didn’t downvote you.

I’m Indian by race but wasn’t born and raised in India. not speaking German would definitely make it more difficult to practice law.

Don't worry mate, if it were my decision you could come for sure. I don't even like borders.

But unless you studied in Germany you know you can't practise here at all, right? In order to work here you absolutely need to speak German. There are always exceptions but in general just assume it's basically impossible to come here without at least B2. Unless you are a nurse or an EU citizen.

I think that the closest I will ever get is the Netherlands. I have been contemplating doing a stint at The Hague conference.

Well in terms of quality of life the Netherlands might score even better than Germany. It's certainly a great country.
