All these weird German companies virtue signalling that they support Black Lives Matter and George Floyd. Every time I see these phony advertisements it makes me want to genuinely know how many black people they are employing. Hell, even Turkish or Arab people. My guess is zero because I never see black/brown people here working in offices. Give me a freaking break.
I should have listen to a girl when I moved to berlin. I don't forget her words.
" Never dance to the beat of berliners. This could be your end of everything. Your mental health, motivation, the way you think and behave. Be in your own bubble"
She was so right
Op here. Forgot to say that since a couple months I am following her advise and it works. I focus on my future, make plans, and think positive as much as I can. And of course I read a lot.
And believe it or not I can handle the germans a bit more than before. I hope it helps some of you guys
I swear by god I get paranoid walking to my mail box.
My dad used to study in germany in the 80s. He always made jokes about the germans. If a german sexual act a woman the next day he will do a protocol about the cost of the date, ranking of the sex and so on and will send a letter to her address since that's the way he grew up. This is so true
So many unemployed people in this city. EVERY appartment I have ever had here I have noticed that either the person above me or the person below me was home 24/7. Every darn appartment and every darn day. How do people live their lives like that for years?
It does not make sense to work full time in Germany.That's why after working couple years, It is extremely smart move to collect unemployment benefits. Let me make a calculation. In Germany 2500 € net is something you could earn on average as white collar employee. If you earn more than this, you are extremely lucky.
2500 € will be distributed something like that. Remember please for "real jobs" you need to be in Hamburg, München, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf etc
650€ on average goes to rent If you would like to live in somewhere apart from student dormitory.
100 € is your internet + phone + electricity
150 - 200 € for transportation on average
10€ per lunch in a day while working. It makes 200 € per month
200 - 300 € on groceries
The above costs are fixed costs. They could be slightly more or less. 1000 € per month is your disposible income to spend for your hobbies, travelling, buying clothes, partying etc
Well If you would be unemployed you would get a bit more than 1500 € and you would just pay for rent + 100€ for internet + phone + electricity + 200 € on groceries. There is only 400 - 450 € difference between working full time and being unemployed.
Would you even consider to work ?
It’s funny, I just realized some of my friends In Berlin hardly travel because they have no money to. This is another reason why they think life in Berlin is normal. Well yeah if you haven’t any money to escape or see other places aka actual cities in the world, you are going to just accept life as poop after awhile. And it’s quite bad the ones that don’t travel, they aren’t from there but can hardly visit home and well, they probably feel like complete freaks when they leave and have to come crawling back to the Berlin isle... problem is, they forget how to live normally and they miss out seeing the rest of the world.... just don’t move to Berlin kids.
I know so many lamenting people they knew that left (especially lovers) they feel abandoned etc but “that’s life”.... uh no, that’s not normal. People don’t move around so much elsewhere. This isn’t how life is. Your friends also dying from drugs left right centre isn’t how life is. This is how Berlin is.
Well yeah I remember last summer I wanted to take a vacation and was broke so the only place I could afford to go was Mallorca. That’s coming from me the year previous having enough savings to move to Berlin and those went a way after a year. I’m gone now. I don’t regret it. Life is so much stable in other places. Travel into Berlin, don’t live there
Someone just tried to sue me for insults. Did you know an sms that says “fuckk you” equals 1200€ or 1.2 months jail time? FUCKk YOU. BERLIN. BERLIN IS A PRISON DO NOT ANMELDUNG ONLY VACATION
LOL, not sure if it's like that in Germany too but in Canada you van even be sued for defamation for statements that are factually true if you made them with the intent of causing emotional pain. I.E. if you call a convicted pedophile a a pedophile then it's illegal. I am pretty sure it is the dame here since all those dumb German murderers a few years ago sued Bild and won since their names were written in the story. Germany is probably the 2nd or 3rd biggest virtue signalling country on earth so of course speech is harshly restricted.
German legislators also want to pass laws that will compel social media companies to automatically file police reports for insults on their platforms. Until now they've "only" been forced to remove such comments within 24 hours (which as you will know has essentially broken twitter and facebook with so many comments being "unavailable" or simply not loading). Now they'll ALL go to the police. Imagine the trillions in extra revenue for Germany. Imagine the hundreds of thousands who will silently go to jail. When this law passes it's all down hill because there will be zero room for views that are at odds with anything the German government says (and amplifies via its countless state-owned media corps).
It’s not defamation in this case. I’m the op. It’s simply sms saying fornicate you, etc. Amounting to the tune of what this guy makes in 6/7 months. In the middle of corona he asks for this probable because he lost his job. Guess what idiot foreigners are not your slaves and aren’t capitalists that you can hate on. Focus on your own life and maybe get a better job you lazy crook german
It’s the op again and I’d just like to say the insults were just “fuck you, you’re an asshole” etc nothing specific or defamatory ... and just sms to him... he even made a CD of the voicemail I sent . Some Germans and their creepy little documenting and desire to punish people. It’s psycho
I just talked to the lawyer. OP here. The state is actually demanding this money. 8000€ or 8 mos or a warrant out for my arrest in all EU , because I insulted a German. This is completely insane. We will fight it and I’m about to abmeldung so they can’t do anything
Today I went to Bauhaus to get a few things for repairs. As it rained a little I used an umbrella whilst walking to the bit outside the store that was covered by a roof. Before I came to a complete stop and closed my umbrella some ugly pierced German yelled at me "MASKE!". When I asked why he just barked at me, he acted as if he just talked to me. NO, that son of a prostitute didn't talk to me, he yelled. I explained to him that it was unnecessary to yell, especially because I just got there and we weren't even inside. Well, I never seem to learn that you cannot explain simple things to Germans. His ugly pierced face had this freaking smile, happy that he yelled at someone. freaking pig.
Wow can't believe that the person who murdered Maddie forever ago turns out to be a kraut. Somehow I think these snakes subconciously knew it was a German based on how much the media here harped on about it for years. Came right around a time when a German doctor in the UK was caught killing his patients on purpose. These dumb Germans need to stop their covert war against Anglo-Saxons. Germans make me sick to my stomach.
Other famous German criminals: Andreas Lubitz the crazy suicide pilot for Lufthansa/Eurowings/Germanwings (lol they tried to rebrand after that, as if we are stupid), that nasty-ass cannibal Armin Meiwes who killed someone and ate them, Joseph Schwab the nasty German serial killer who terrorized Australia, Robert Steinhäuser who shot up his school in 2002 and killed more people alone than the Columbine duo killed, that bitchboy Berliner who got offed for flashing his nasty German d'ck at some Australian man's gf. So many more because this country is so messed up. Weird how they all do their crimes abroad - probably only reason we hear about them is because they go unchecked in Germany even if the police catch them. Fuckthiscountrytohell.
Too many racist ppl commenting on this forum! It's disgusting!!
Germans are BORING. That’s where all the problems come from. They lead absolutely boring lives, talk about boring things, suppress their feelings, do the same things all the time (even fun things)... when you have so boring a life, you find pleasure correcting others, spying on others, making others suffer, because you suffer from an extremely boring life. It all comes down to that. Boring, boring, BORING people
Anyone know if Christopher Street day is canceled?
As a gay man myself I have to say I am glad it won't happen this year. The parade is not about equality and acceptance but about living fetishes openly, have public sex and just behave badly. It is a shame that this kind of thing is celebrated as it throws a bad light on everyone who is attracted to their own gender but has morals. It seems as if the CSD understanding is that when you are gay there is no need for morals. Straight people should accept that, otherwise they are called homophobic. No wonder why so many prejudices still exist though if the kind of behaviour shown at the CSD is considered to be normal by a huge crowd of homosexuals.
When I first moved here I went to CSD once because I thought it was a good thing to show solidarity. I really wish I hadn't. I am from a small town so I didn't have any idea of what awaited me. It basically just feels like a big group of sweaty Germans who grope random stranger. I saw many, many men just walking around and jacking off. On the floats I saw people having anal and oral sex. All this happened with A LOT of police everywhere. They all did absolutely nothing at all. I don't know if it's worse because it's Berlin but I will never visit another gay pride parade again.
Haha...a german told me today that the tourist minister of Italy once said about german tourists that they are the most disgusting people he ever met. The way they dress, behave, eat and talk..he said they are dirty trash. .hahaha...
I immediately started to laugh because he was so serious and sad when he was telling his story...that made me laugh more.
I said sorry but this hilarious. lol
"we are exactly like new york city in the 80"
Shut the fucck up biatch. You are like moscow in the 60. Not even Louisiana in the 30.
Heilpraktiker ("healing practitioner") is a naturopathic profession in Germany
The only healing practitioners that I know are doctors, nurses and physiotherapists in our modern world.
In Germany you could claim to be Heilpraktiker and make money out of It. I have no idea how these people can heal you.
This country is a massive joke.
I must admit since lockdown i have had quite a few nice interactions with Germans in my hood. Like old Germans letting you go ahead in the queue or asking if you want help with the way. Lets hope it lasts!
