Berlin is the prime example of “don’t judge a book by it’s cover” except the book you found in a box on the street and there were bed bugs nesting in it
Hitler must be rolling in his grave with all these auslanders everwhere
The reason why Berlin is poop is because people think it’s a paradise. There is no place on earth like it. Well kids, you can’t have highs without lows. Look around at all the scowling faces and at everyone’s lives around you. Nobody is thriving except the tourists, newcomers and maybe an occasional german. The reality of the place is that it is dark and sick, but they cover it up with fanfare and drugs. It’s a void.
Why is my name on my doorbell with the exact location of my apartment in the building? I want privacy. This is creepy
AND in this fuckking country litterally ANYONE can buy ANYTHING online 'auf rechnung' so basically just giving a name and adress as mean of payment (to pay upon receiving the products and the bill). And this is how, a few years ago, some clever jerk ordered some overpriced sneakers for a total of 600 € under MY NAME and MY ADRESS. He just had to pick up the parcel as soon as it was delivered at my neighbor's (because I am basically never at home when delivery guy comes), I guess he could see via online tracking where the parcel had landed and YES, my idiot neighbor gave a parcel under the name of his female neighbor to a male stranger he had never seen before without asking anything. So I, without knowing what had hapened, see the delivery notice in my mail box a few days later, wonder what it can be because I don't remember having order anything, go up the neighbor who tells me 'someone' already picked it up. In the moment I assume the whole thing might have just been a weird mistake but then, a few weeks later I get a bunch of inkasso letters urging me to pay for those fuckking sneakers. Of course I never paid anything, filed a complaint at the police station, the officer was extremely retarded and didn't seem to understand what had hapened. Fortunately I left the city a few months afterwards, never heard from it again but I guess my Schufa must be brilliantly fuckked up now.
The kind of things that can ONLY happen in Berlin. I am still full of rage when I think back about it.
German supermarkets lack variety. Its just the same, same, same, same and no selection. I honestly have no idea what to cook in this country as there are no ingredients available. Back in the UK I enjoyed trying new recipes, here that's just impossible.
I was never religious, spiritual or into mysticism but this place is undeniably full of bad/negative/evil energy. Something dark lurks just beneath the surface of these people. I don't know what it is or where it comes from but they all have it.
I’ve been trying to talk to people about this for awhile now. You have to leave that place to fully understand how it’s affected you. It’s not just the people, it’s the location. I posted awhile back about the Nazis being occultists and summoning demons to Berlin. This could be part of why people go into dark places and destroy themselves.
I freaking hate that place
Also I’ve never had a bad trip on psychedelics in my life. I am an experienced user. I took mushrooms last summer in my flat, a friend was visiting from out of town. She fell asleep on the floor. Anytime I closed my eyes, I saw demons clawing at me, trying to take my energy. There were a bunch of them, half animal heads. That’s when I started my research of demons in Berlin and posting about it. A friend told me, there are demons also in Berghain. Their friend has seen them multiple times. Apparently this is part of why no cameras and mirrors are there.
And I hadn’t taken mushrooms in Berlin before that, in a few years. So it makes me wonder, could I have just sensed them because I had opened that portal?
People take stupid drugs in Berlin like ketamine. Ketamine has a dark and negative vibe, people drooling on themselves. Kind of the perfect state to be manipulated in because you stupify yourself but don’t notice what’s going on around you
Why Are people so obsessed with berlin? Like people really get an ego because they decided to move there, meanwhile they are broke and have no future plan?
Dude stfu you are contributing nothing to society. You are literally a huge poser. The party ended at least ten year ago . It’s over. Idiots
The amount of random things going wrong every day makes me wonder why people live here
What happens to German clubbers? Do they all just die young? I’m trying to understand. If a person has no life or original ideas outside of techno, berghain, piercing, tattoo, bdsm, and they are already mid 30s, where does it go from there ?
Ja exactly.Be a single parejt and keep tossing their kids here and there and Jugendamt .
the mieterverein just said they could refund me up for 4000-6000 euro via my landlord as thats how much I was overcharged over two years. If you haven’t gone to the mieterverein do it now.
LOL this city is so miserly it's hilarious. I've been here so long that my brain is probably completely shot, but way back before they abolished it in 2013, you had to pay 10 € when you went see to the doctor. Several times I was refused service because I either didn't have cash on me (yeah of course you couldn't pay with a credit card, not even with EC) or I didn't have the exact amount. Once I was very ill and the dumb woman (it's always women at the reception somehow) just shrugged and ignored me. Over 10 Euros :-D
But it extends so far. When I moved here I transferred into a private university to finish (I heard beforehand that the public ones here are very bad quality) and after graduation they made me pay for the postage to have my certificate mailed to me within Germany :o)
And just recently I called my doctor to have a prescription refilled so I wouldn't have to go in to the office. That mfer seriously told me I needed to wire them like 60 cents to have a freaking letter sent to me.
How tf is this supposed to be a first world country with everyone operating on such a shoestring budget?
Why tf is everyone in Germany forced to pay 15% of their income for health insurance when the quality of the basic coverage is this shit? And then why do they shut everyone out from private insurance unless you earn EUR 60k/year? This whole country is a giant pyramid scheme.
Went to a random hospital in Istanbul once when I got bit by a dog and it was cleaner, the service was faster and the whole experience was like a completely different world.
I forgot my prescribed medication in the UK once and went to get a prescription from a doctor I went to some months before. Because I had no health insurance in Germany anymore I told her I would pay private, she refused though. The female dog also refused to use my European Health insurance card I got from the NHS.
"I usually do hate on Germany and Berlin, but try getting healthcare in the US."
94% of the US population manages to do it somehow at an average price of $440 per person/month. Don't spread your bulllshit conspiracy theories that are based on nothing more than your own delusions.
"440 Dollar?? Wow seems to be quite high imo"
Considering you'll always pay 15% of your income here you can easily see it's barely higher than what an average earner in Germany pays AND you won't have to be serviced in a 20-person sick ward like here or wait 2 months to get simple radiology work done.
yeah, you can complain about a lot of things in Germany but I really wouldn't say healthcare is one of them. You hardly ever have to wait long to be seen at the doctor's surgery and you can go and see whatever specialists you want without a long waiting list (except maybe psychotherapists but that's cos everyone here is psycho..). I have also had two operations since living here and both times the doctors took really good care of me and I felt safe and trusted in their competence.
no, freelancers have to pay up to 700 a month in insurance...which is completely retarted because most people only make 1500 a month after tax! I remember my prof saying they thought 2k a month was a good income when I moved, I laughed until I realize that they were serious, now I realize I should have just taken note of that crazy idea...
Public insurance for freelancers is a huge rip off and can be 1k or more depending on what you earn. They only get away with it because Germans are blinded by the word Solidargemeinschaft. Private insurance for freelancers is cheaper as long as you are young.
Please compare German Health insurance to other EUROPEAN health coverage systems not the US one which is drastically different. If you want to compare the German one with one on the American continent then let's talk about Canada. The German Health system is a pure rip off.
Why does amazon leave packages with neighbour? And you know these German clowns just write a random name and don’t come to tell me they took my stuff which I didn’t authorize them to do! Just don’t answe your freaking door! You are not doing me a favour!
Oh and also delivery people it’s not my job to deliver packages to my neighbours for you. So don’t get mad when I close the door and say no and keep ringing my bell. Imbeciles
So many of my packages were taken by my neighbours without my consent.
The funny part is, I don't know these people at all. I don't even know their names. Luckily, the did hand my packages over back to me.
However, why on the earth you would take a package for someone who don't even know ? I mean, let DHL, UPS, Amazon to bring my package to the post office where I can take my package by myself as meant to be.
