I managed to get an appointment for a consultation on the 14th. But they contacted me to say that they were required to only speak to me in German. So I either had to cancel or bring an interpreter. Machine translating is fine for written, but problematic for real time.

I did contact them actually, but they explicitly state that they do not offer advice in English. My German is not good enough to understand legal advice, and I don’t know any one well enough that I can ask to help with it.

2·27 days agoSorry to hear, but thanks for considering! Yeah, the time is likely a bit of an issue for a lot of people, I’d imagine. I’m in Germany, another player is in the UK, and the other 3 people are night-owls from the US lol.

I mean, yes that’s absolutely true, but many Americans really do prefer to drive even short distances. When I lived in North Carolina people regularly drove to the other side of the parking lot to eat, shop at different stores, meet up with friends, etc. I asked several people why they didn’t walk, and every single one said they hated walking and would drive or re-park if it was further than a few seconds walk.
