Today I went to the supermarket afte work, so it was around 9. There was only one till open and the queue was about a mile long. I asked if they could open another till but got no reply. When I finally got to the front and said hello to the cashier she ignored me. So I said OK, no hello than she said "But I said hello." and angrily scanned my things. Dumb butt country!
Every German I know: I have such Schadenfreude that Trump has Corona
Me for the past few days:
Me once more for the past few days:
Leftwing German today: Don't you feel Schadenfreude that Trump has Coronoa?
Me: No, I simply do not care. People get Corona, its a virus that can infect anyone.
German:
In Germany it's probably illegal to say anything negative about Merkel. In the infamous words of Ronald Reagan:

bruh German girls are BOMB but then other day to day issues. What say?
They are liars who will slowly trip themselves up in their lies over time and whem you finally see them for what they are you'll have a hard time saying f*ck off. Better to stay away from them completely or only date non-Germans. Better yet don't date anyone in this shithole.
You know, I've come to the conclusion that university in Germany is free for one of two reasons:
1. Germans know the quality of their universities is very, very bad and that any institution that charges money and teaches so little would be sued into oblivion within 2 years.
2. Germans are such cheapskates they would NEVER pay for university if it cost money. They won't even pay 50 cents to use a public toilet or 2 euro more per month to shower daily. I once briefly dated a German who walked two hours to deliver a letter herself instead of paying 50 cents for a stamp.
i dont think they realise how bad it is as they are unable to view the world outside of their own systems. They think that deep diving into specialised topics and rote learning all the theory is the proper way of doing things. They always build things from the ground up like you would build a computer or a house. It is very logical and it seems to make sense that if you have in depth knowledge of all the fundamentals you would eventually get a good overview and begin to form connections. But humans are not computers. They are stuck in the theory and the fundamentals and never move into useful knowledge.
I have a theory about Berlin. Say you moved to Germany when you were a student, and everyone ten years older or more than you are still getting wasted on drugs every weekend. Well then you don’t have a concrete role model for how you should behave in ten years. So ten years slip by and you end up like them, and since everyone else is at it you keep going . By that point, you have developed very little in terms of a person. You’ve basically been in limbo for a decade. You look at your friends from back home, and they seem to have gotten a lot more done in that time. Furthered their lives. Berlin is like a time vortex, taken up by trying to survive financially and distraction from getting so broken every weekend that you never have time to think about your life. Now normal people who move to Berlin only for a few years can see right past this. They can see the steep decline of how their lives were at say 25,30 before they moved to Berlin for a few years. But everyone else? Well they don’t have any progression to compare themselves to if they’ve been there since their early 20s. Essentially, they are frozen in time. This is why we see people 35 + who think the same things are novel and exciting as a teenager would. And that’s why they defend Berlin so hard because it’s impossible now for them to leave. They don’t have any real world adult life skills. So don’t try to talk about Berlin sucking to them, you’ll be ostracized. Deep down they probably know they are losers.
Kind of true for me. I moved here in my early 20s and worked at a series of crappy Berlin jobs. My coworkers were all about 10 years older than I was. They were a mix of kind low class "assi" families and people who partied and drugged out all the time. I always wondered how they ended up in a crappy job in their 30s considering I was better at it without even having any real work experience. Anyway, I've wasted about 10 years here now and haven't progressed much at all really. I'm still earning a near-poverty level wage. Still surrounded by people who have clearly made even worse life decisions than I have. I wish I had moved away when the culture shock hit me after moving here. At the beginning I remember a period of 6 months or so where I think I didn't talk to anyone at all because I was so depressed. No idea how I have made it this long without killing myself.
I also hate "edgy" Berliners who think completely normal social positions are subversive. Complaining about capitalism every chance you get isn't intelligent discourse you dumb krautbitch who makes a small side income by selling fetish comics on the internet. I really wish these people knew what things were like in the GDR.
The bare minimum should be going about your day without encountering anger and hostility. There is something deeply wrong with this society.
How is Copenhagen for living? Less xenophobic?
I don't know about xenophobia but you'll earn way more money there. Food and alcohol is more expensive so fewer fat drunks, but I guess a lot of Danes rush the German border for that kind of stuff. Cars are even more ridiculously priced there. I have a feeling that there's less hidden patriotism there than in Germany.
You know what? There's no real German word for 'underemployment' because it's not a concept in Germany. Compare the definitions on wikipedia. 'Unterbeschäftigung' only refers to unwillingly working fewer hours than desired. 'Underemployment' also includes the underutilization of skills. There's no German word for it because in Germany it would apply to nearly everyone. 95% of jobs don't require 3 years of training, but apparently the Germans never got that memo.
Sometimes you can learn a lot about a culture by taking note of 'the dog that doesn't bark'.
Germans are so desperate for international news that praises them:

Where did this “german efficiency “ myth come from anyway
It came from a British inferiority complex in the early 20th century. British Empire was starting to weaken as they saw Prussia getting stronger, and as the world wars came Britain was afraid that the Germans would roll over them if they might have better-built tanks and better-organized troops. Americans have a similar inferiority complex to the Chinese and I'm sure it leads to many misbeliefs too. Fascinating how long these beliefs can last though.
This ''Offene Beziehung'' bs is freaking their minds up. They don't even realise that they messing themselves up by engaging in these type of things. No self respect for themselves in fact I think you have to hate yourself to do that poop to yourself. Cucks don't realise that it's disrespectful meeting up with their ''girls'' after she got pounded by a couple dudes a few hours earlier wtf darn does he lick her up after that ? Dumb idiots
You don’t need to seek the approval of Germans. Just because you are living in Germany you don’t need to care about their opinions. Let them know next time they tell you that you should learn German, that you really do not have to learn the language and would appreciate them not telling you what to do. Tell them to go bother someone else and most importantly mind their own business. Tell them that instructing others on what to do is rude in your country, and just because you are in “their” country doesn’t give them the right to boss you around
Tell them to fornicate off and suck their moms D already. I feel unsafe and uneasy around them. If you in a room with two or more germans in it just leave. Forget all good manners you once had throw it out the window. Leave the room and tell them you got to take a dump or something lol but chances are they will start to like you then
I disagree. Germans, their Society and Berlin suck Hard and we all Know that, but learning German is essential if anyone wants to stay here Long Term. I mean, we‘re in their Country so we have to know the Language. Just My opinion. I hate germans like the Next guy Here, but I speak their Language.
Everyone in Germany needs to read this. You'll never look at the psycho Berlin greens and leftists the same again:

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF is wrong with these people!? Germans are sick and insane! There is no words for these people. And come to think of it. I have a theory some of the women have been sexually abused. I can’t prove it but from my encounters with some of the women here I wonder.
"It is estimated that 1.2 million men buy sexual access to a prostitute, mostly a woman , every day . Around every 10th to 5th German man buys sexual access to a prostituted woman or man at least once in his life."

Thank you for raising this issue. German men will even completely deny that prostitution exploits women. I was by a street with an entrance sign that said "men only" because it was full of brothels, and I felt like jesus freaking christ what century is this. Yes let's act like it's normal to rope off a freaking street so men can go pay to use women's bodies. And let's pretend like those women aren't trafficked here from poor EU countries by other men that steal their wages. Super advanced progressive country.
As a sex worker I can say that this is only true in Europe. Women don’t have the same rights to safety and the clients have all the power. Europe is like the dark ages for sex work. The women here mostly don’t know or are ok dealing with the worst clientele. It’s survival work. Pretty sure only who make good money travel elsewhere or work in dungeon.
But let’s stop this lie that everyone is trafficked. I do this willingly. But not in Europe, because it is simply bad. All my clients were American tourists so I left once corona closed that border. See you never german clients.... worst I have experienced in life
