Having lived in Germany and experienced the wonderful Deutche Bahn, I wouldn't really associate punctuality with being German.
>"Having lived in Germany and experienced the wonderful Deutche Bahn, I wouldn't really associate punctuality with being German." This is relative. In Germany, people complain when the train is late. Everywhere else, the train is just late.

#8260% german, 40% autistic. Seems fair since I'm german and work in IT. The rules question did not have an answer I liked tho.
As another German dev, i'm the other way around
> The Wittgenstein Result … Wittgenstein was Austrian, which is close enough.
Clearly I should have scored 100.

#86It was 47% 47%. AMA!! I've got stories man, just give me a specific prompt. I can also tell stories about my PhD advisor (100% german, 70% autistic).
Re: Am I German or Autistic?
#87I am 40% German, 40% Autistic. Will be gone a while while I look for the other 20%.
They explain it on the site, the two percentages are independent. You are 60% non-German and 60% non-Autistic.

#90Regarding punctuality I miss the option: “A moral obligation from my side, but I don’t care if others arrive late to an appointment with me”
> Being early to an appointment is as rude as being late because you may be disturbing your host before they've taken all the efforts they require before your arrival
( VERY rough quote, the english translation is 100x more eloquent than my half-remembered version )
Edmond Dantès arrives exactly as the clock strikes the minute of his appointment no later and no earlier. I remember reading that when I was ~16 and it always seemed to make sense to me
