I don't think there is anything wrong with the German language. People just often use it with no sense. If you take saying: What's so fukking important about it? the stress is clearly on "what". The "is" even is abbreviated. And of course. Because that is the sense of it. While a German would often say Was IST daran so wichtig? Makes no fukking sense and you can stress the word all you want, it won't deliver what you mean (unless you really feel the meaning I guess). So it's not the language...A language is always the same, it always means the same things of life. Furthermore, if you wanted to translate "What's so fukking important about it?" into German...it works just fine. Was ist daran so verdammt wichtig? All stresses are on the exact same words. what, fukking, important....was, verdammt, wichtig. It just doesn't go like VERdammt. But it's the same words. imPORTANT...you don't translate that with wichTIG...It's obviously WICHtig. Many German you will rarely hear saying: WAS ist daran so verdammt wichtig? The sense is just often off I think. It's not the fault of the language.
I would rather be homeless in another city than to live in east berlin.

Why do Germans are so incompotent in their jobs ?
I have been reporting a German manager and that manager has no idea about the core components of product / platform. He comes up with random things relevant or irrelevant about an issue / request and just do empty talking. No contribution to issue resolution / request or whatever.
This country is so strange
To the Lol guy. Shut the fornicate up, this is a English site.. Doesn't mean that everybody here is and should be fluent in English. Do you think people are incompetent just because they can't speak all the languages on this planet und dumb fuck. Or do you think they can't express what they have experienced just because they are not fluent in a specific language ? You are 100% German I'm sure.
Do Dutch people dislike germans, I hardly meet Dutch even tho it’s right next door
I knew a couple of people from the Netherlands here in Berlin. They were quite open, nice and friendly. I met them in their first year of living here and all looked very excited and happy. After a year or so, they all decided to leave saying that they always felt miserable, lonely and disappointed. None of them was able to make proper friendships and preferred their own group (mostly Dutch) to anyone.
Unfortunately many people do commit suicide or OD in Berlin and it isn’t reported accurately. But there were so many suicides here I think the city is cursed. I read an article saying there was a flat where 3 tenants committed suicide in a row. I’m not religious, but I feel something weird is going on here, something paranormal
I think Berlin was the suicide capital of the world for many years actually. When I first moved here, I had a sublet in Schöneberg and I slept with the lights on for two months. I kept having the urge to commit suicide. The house was definitely haunted, I started watching dark and scary things on YouTube and I don’t even like horror movies or scary things. I really hated that flat and building. It was so old, it had the old stove in it in the kitchen from before 1900
Anyway my point being I have heard of many deaths here from drugs in my time here, way higher than normal and a friend killed himslef and that really affected me, but it didn’t seem to affect the people around me so much, which was troubling. When I told my German ex that my friend had died, he questioned how it happened firstly without offering Any empathy. It creeps me out now to think of it
My first flat here never got warm in the winter. No matter how high up I put the heat and how many hours I left it on, it was always cold. The landlord even put in an additional radiator, with 0 effect. Strangely it was only in one room, the others got warm. Did someone get murdered in there and the souls is still there?
They only test you for STI here if you have symptoms. What the fuck?
When I first moved to Berlin I went for an Sti test, had to lie and said a guy cheated on me so I was aftaid I could have caught something. These Germans are gatekeepers even to your own health. Anyway, I had gotten an HIV test already that year - the doctor asked me if I had sex with any Africans “because they were higher risk for HIV”. I told her I wouldn’t answer the question as it was racist. She told me she had to take some blood, took it and then said “that’s your HIV test”. I felt violated. I told her what she had said was racist and she said “it’s not racist”. I wrote the clinic an email complaining about what she had said (fear mongering) and weeks later I got a letter in the mail (lol) in response to my complaint saying that the doctor was “not racist” and “things are done here differently than in your home country”.
I should have gotten the hint then, after getting that mail, climbing up 5 flights of stairs to an apartment where the creepy neighbour stands behind me and stares at me from the next balcony. But stuff like this doesn’t add up as “German normal” until later
This thread is all true. I used to wonder why official reports by the WHO and other international organizations showed that STI incidence rate in Germany was so low. Then I learned from several people that you basically cannot get a full test done here under any circumstances. The Germans are also the same with covid19 tests. In my tiny one horse town where I am from the the rural US there's a drug store where you can get a free covid19 test without symptoms. Here I recently needed one before traveling for my job and I called 5 doctors and every one of them said I can't get one without symptoms (well, I pay 140 EUR for one on top of the 550 EUR I pay here per month for public insurance). There's a reason the covid19 infection/death rates here are so low. Proportionately Germany has done half the tests done in the UK and about 60% the tests done in the US. Germany freaking sucks in every aspect you look at.
Living in Berlin is going back Nearly 30 years when it comes to technology, smoking etc and 80 years when it comes to racism
I wonder how many different people post on this page regularly. Are we always the same crowd or do we have a constant flux of different people on here?
I did a Ausbildung and during my Ausbildung we got a lot of tips from clients. My Ausbilder and colleagues cashed in the tips we got and didn't share, they even tried to cash it in while I wasn't around. They hang on the €. A stingy, egoistic and pathetic bunch.
Word on the street is that Merkel has covid-19.
neighbours stealing packages...
I was thinking about this. How on the earth can I prove that, my neighbour got my package ? Sure delivery person leaves a notification but what happens If my neighbour will not bring the package to me or never answer the door when I ring ? What are my chances to prove that my package is lost ? I can't unlawfully enter my neighbour's flat / house right ? Imagine you bought laptop / mobile phone and It collected by your neighbour. You can say goodbye to your purchase
they sign a random name and dont leave a note EVER, or the delivery guy writes down the wrong name, or they give them a fake name. these idiots just take the package (i didnt authorize them to recieve it and i even wrotet DO NOT LEAVE WITH NEIGHBOURS) which they always ignore.
I wonder where all the AntiFa cockroaches went after their vermin-ridden squat was captured by police. Are they living in the U-Bahn, which is where they would have ended up eventually anyway with all the other Berlin losers.
Anarchists :o))) What a pathetic joke, they wouldn't last a month without Hartz 4 handouts from the capitalists.
Maybe they'll go to communist China to live :o)))) let's see how long they last there :o))) What Berlin needs is a Thump An AntiFa A Day, Month. Knock some sense into those filthy lefty cunnnts.
I'm abusive to abusive fascists like your small-minded AntiFa friends, and if anyone was abused as a child, I'd say it's you with your pathetic, snide, non sequitur remarks, you sound like a typical lefty moron. You are like a typical passive aggressive kraut, but your little mind games don't work with me, so take your own advice and ffffuck off elsewhere, dicckhead.
Why is it that the antifa apologists are never able to make an argument in defense of antifa? I'd genuinely be open to having my mind changed but I have never heard a sensible defense of antifa. 9 time out of 10 the other person just insults you for being against antifa.
I am the person you are insulting and I know zero antifa. Just because I think your rants are angry and stupid doesnt mean I like antifa. Im just sick of reading the same thing over and over again, the only thing you can contribute to this page. that and hating feminists. We get it, you hate these people. now accept and move on.
Next time a raving Berlin Feminist tries to make you feel guilty by playing the victim-card about the mythical wage-gap, let her know the wage-gap propaganda is full of holes. www.huffpost.com/entry/wage-gap_b_2073804 They'll hate you for it, but you're better off without them anyway.
Walked by some workers' union office this morning (can't remember the name). There were pictures on the ground floor with large comics on them. One of them was a mother giving her kids their allowance and the daughter saying "why do I only get 1 eur when my brother gets 2?". The mother answered "Get used to it, that's just how life is" or something. This is the level of sophistication these people think that their constituents possess. The fact that every credible economic analysis has debunked the wage gap and that some studies even show that young women outearn their male counterparts doesn't matter when you have a class of people who want to play victim whenever possible to avoid accepting accountability for their own fortunes. Whenever I hear a German woman complaining about this I just tell her to look up the wage gap between bio Germans and foreign-born residents here. That usually shuts them up.
What makes you thunk I'm talking to myself, how did you come to that conclusion, you stupid cunnt. Go and get a life. If you don't understand the importance of my posts, then I'm not surprised, the standard of intellect in Berlin in very low and you are down there wit the lowest. You supercilious maggot. When Donald Trump is re-elected, turrrds like you will be part of history when all your liberal 'arts' funding is cut. I pray I meet you at an AntiFa riot one night and knock some sense into your feeble little brain. .
So if you have nothing more to say than your pathetic little jibes, then you fffuck off from here, CUNNNT.
