How long does it take to do construction work for a roof? It's been 5 months now and these idiots are still working at it. Think they are trying to build a new roof. Right when it was very windy in February they had a cover that made noise. Now they are still working, what seems to be only about two people making noise every freaking day. This cannot take so long. These freaking morons. Have money for a roof but can't afford enough workers.
The C key is next to the X key, so move your QWERTY keyboard to the right a few millimetres.
By the way, does anyone else find themselves constantly typing "teh" instead of "the" and having to regularly go back and correct it? Or is that just me? Maybe I type too fast.

Whats going on? There seems to be a disconnect.
There’s a big difference between Berlin and the rest of Germany. Berlin is it’s on little pocket with it’s on culture. Germans are still foul people but Berlin is the worst of them all. Some places in Germany are nice and the people aren’t that poop like Berliners. But Germans are still racist, boring people. Nonetheless, anyone coming here who any ounce of heart will see the people are insane and want to leave.
Mandatory coronavirus tests for everyone returning to Germany from an area with a lot of cases of coronavirus (so basically the entire world I guess?). One step closer to a mandatory coronavirus vaccine, which will be the world's first mRNA vaccine ever and will NOT be tested on animals and, obviously, won't have any long-term testing done. But I guess I should be happy because that's my firm line in the sand. The minute I hear Germany is mandating the vaccine I will book a one-way ticket out of this hellhole no matter the cost.
You all fell into conclusion that Berlin equals Germany. Berlin is shihole. Germany is beautiful.
Some parts of Germany are beautiful but they're all ruined by Germans. Berliners are assholes, Germans are assholes. Mountains can be beautiful. Lakes can be beautiful. Winding hiking trains can be beautiful. Cities can be beautiful. But all of those things are ruined by uncivilized Germans pissing and shiitting everywhere, throwing their garbage on the ground, yelling and barking and just being rude, having too many rules about everything. Germans ruin everything about Germany.
Walked through Friedrichshain today. Looked quite normal, no outrageous clothes or anything. On the sidewalk, a Turk or Arab was sitting opposite his smelly corner shop, and stared at me with an angry expression. As if I had done something to him.
Now, Turk/Arab, what is your problem? Never seen a blond woman before? Or do you give every female that crosses your path hateful stares? Don't you think that the reason you need to hate the world is the fact that you've got a small penis and some serious inferiority feelings resulting from it? Actually - is this your only pastime, sitting at street corners and giving passers-by hateful stares? Pathetic prick.
As a non-white person who is fluent in German, my personal experience was that German people treat Caucasian foreigners very different than non-Caucasian ones.
My family was bullied in Germany. Mostly all the time. Which is why we finally left. And we were not the only ones. Many non-white people have these terrible experiences but are afraid to voice them.
In my time in Germany, there was an African man who was beaten to a pulp by Neo-Nazis (killed during this beating, his face was unrecognizable). Did the government do anything? No. I remember this march of African people yelling: “Treat us like your dogs.” (Because dogs have a high status in Germany. They are treated with kindness. Regarding our dog, Germans would walk towards us, greet and pet our furry baby while making a conscious effort to ignore us.)
Smiling is an expression of common courtesy where I grew up. You smile because you don't want to be rude. So, in Germany we'd smile at people in order to be courteous. Children and young adults would approach us with an angry and defiant attitude and say things such as: "Was glotzte mich so an? Was guckste mich so doof an?"
A non-Caucasian friend smiled as well in order to be polite/courteous, and the man she smiled at (a co-worker) verbally attacked her: "Why are you such a hypocrite! One cannot be happy all the time! Stop faking a smile!" which crushed her.
Speaking in a foreign language in Germany also grands you verbal attacks. If I'd dare switch to the other two languages we used to communicate, the "Scheiß Ausländer!" offense would pop up almost instantly."Go back where you came from!"
So yes. Mistreating non-Caucasians is a “thing” in Germany that nobody wants to talk about.
As for Germans in foreign Countries (as observed in Latin-America)
There are two kinds of Germans living in foreign countries. Those who are married to German spouses (all-German families). Those who are married to non-German spouses.
In countries where they are guests, hired by German companies, many of them settling there for years, all-German families don’t befriend non-Germans. Their children not only don’t befriend non-German but they also insult the population (one of my classmates liked to call us Indianer; criticized our food, mocked our culture, laughed at our festivities) as a result of perceiving us as lesser people.
When you pass for a German child, and you’re invited to reunions, you get to witness very racist conversations. When you speak German fluently, and you don’t look German, you also get to witness racist conversations, sexually demeaning conversations, misogynistic conversations; normally in the working environment.
A huge percentage of these all-German families don’t show the slightest interest in learning the official language unless they’re forced to, either by the job or by the circumstances. Those who speak the language, opt for the Castilian/Portuguese version. You won’t see brown children at their parties.
German men married to non-German spouses are rejected by all-German families. Their gatherings consist of other Germans married to non-German spouses. They rarely befriend Native-American couples. While they are more tolerant of the women; they don’t befriend the men. In these reunions you will most certainly see two cliques: the Germans, speaking German, in one corner (room); and their wives speaking Spanish/Portuguese somewhere else.
German women married to non-German spouses are also rejected by all-German families: It is among this group that you will most certainly find acceptance and friendship. Since Latin Americans are family oriented people, the husbands tend to have large families who are invited to their gatherings. The Native-American women are inclusive, so they make their German counterparts feel welcome, introducing them to everybody else. Their children play with Native-American children. They befriend them. The German wives will learn our language and most certainly our customs. There will be a point where they are perceived as one of us.
Germans in foreign countries also lie about their degrees. It’s common knowledge that Lufthansa is the fastest college in the world. Germans get on the plane as technicians (sometimes even sent overseas due to dishonorable behavior in their respective companies in Germany) and get off as engineers. With no real degrees, they get the higher and better paid job in these companies. You will see them boss around very capable and highly educated Native-American professionals with college degrees.
Yep, this idiot in a nutshell. I noticed that if you stop and stare at them aggressively too and bark back at them they back down. I also wear a pin of my countries flag now and greet people in my local language. Its clear that they are bullies. but huge cowards too if they know that you are aggressive. I also insult the German language and tell them to learn a second language. Call them colonizers etc., basically insult everything that makes them GERMS. They are very ignorant. And boy I love insulting them. Trash of the world. Sure Indians are inferior. Thats why Satya Nadela is the CEO of Microsoft and not some pooping German. Germans are and will always be inferior. They are the true dirt race.
Right, they are bullies of the highest order. From a mental aspect they will beat you down. Example, say you wear something that represents your culture. Germans will stare, whisper amongst each other about you, laugh and it's all part of beating you into submission. You as a foreigner are not excepted unless you dress like us, act like us, stare like us, have a nervous tick like us. Even then you won't be full German just the GUEST even though you have lived here for 30 years. Vile jew killing trash!!! If the Americans would have just left this country to burn in hell then you would see hate. I think that's why America and Britain watch this place so closely. Germans are a classic definition of evil.
I don't care what colour someone's skin is, but if you are going to live in a new country, adopt the culture of that country, the same as if a lily-white person lived in Africa and went around wearing leiderhosen and derndels, it's just not right. If you live in a new country, it should be because you want to adopt the customs of that country, otherwise you will come across as an opportunist.
I'm lily-white and the germans are just as rude to me as you have described. Don't be a victim.
On vacation and these Germans are laughing retartedly beneath me. If I didn’t count on the Airbnb rating I would tell them to duck off. Their stupid laughter ahahahaha high pitched for the men y’all sound so dumb and are dumb...
To the people who've left: Were you ever able to feel clean and normal again after being here? I feel like I am always dirty here now. And sort of like I am becoming possessed by something that isn't me. Anyone else have that feeling?
This place has damaged by soul. Thank god I am leaving soon. Tschuuuuuuuuuuss
Im originally from a small town. I always had my car to drive around. In Berlin I have developed strange phobia of public transportations. I get anxious everytime I use Ubahn. It is so stressful. Do u guys think I should see a psychologist? P.S. female in her 20s
Always have to be scared you'll have to walk through drunks in the stations or people pissing in the stations or Germans jerking off on the trains/in the bus so I understand. Just the smell of most train stations is enough to make me want to vomit. And in the winter they're full of homeless who poop all over thr platform.
Oddly for me the drug addicts, the drunk person or persons and the homeless people aren’t the ( Even thought I prefer not to see that shit)problem for me. For me, it’s the everyday people who ride the train. They sit there and just freaking look at you like something is wrong with them. They don’t blink or anything just look at you like a zombie. When I first got here I would get into with people because of them just looking at you like a freaking retard. After a awhile I just gave up and I just try not to look at people. Mind my business. I can’t fight all of them but fornicate these weirdos.
Sitting at work and I can smell a colleague standing 2m away from me. It's the same everyday when the person stands within 2m of me. And it's a WOMAN.
The first German guy I slept with gave me an STD. No joke.
All die Junkies in der Bahn. Viele gehören offensichtlich in nem psychiatrischen Krankenhaus.
They don’t know how to communicate and establish a conversation. Majority of them have OCD as well.
Living in this place as a normal human being is mental torture.
