SORRY, A SLIGHTLY OFF TOPIC, BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT.
Talking about the internet, have a look at these smug Feminists who work for Google and YouTube.

Feminism is cancer. These fascist fcked up Feminist sows want to demote anything that doesn't fit their Lefty gender-agenda. Time for war. Only use DuckDuckGo.com and DailyMotion or some other video site, these people have to be shut down and a message sent to FaceTurd's ZuckerTurd as well, and Microsoft and the F-ing rest of the Lefty fascists running the internet. FCK THIS.
Articles like this going into superficial detail, and conveniently ignoring anything negative for Berlin in their "info"-graphics.
www.thelocal.de/20170810/san-francisco-v-berlin-which-is-better-for-startups-tech
All those relevant Berlin startups.
San Francisco has 100x better weather and a short drive away to beaches, spectacular national forests, mountains and more. The rich want good weather, better culture, beautiful beaches and more people like them.
Berlin has little to offer besides desperate cheap disposable employees that msot likely would underperform compared to Americans.
San Francisco is far more beautiful and that whole region is amazing. Hard to beat that. But its heyday was in the 90s and 00s. A developer salary ($100,000) is basically the minimum you should take if you move there, that will afford you an apartment with a roommate unless you get really lucky. If you want your own place or to buy a hough, you'll need to earn $150k or more (and the house you will need a high earning partner). It makes Zurich look like a bargain. The reason you still see people of various incomes is government assistance for very low earners or unemployed and a ton of people bought who bought property before it got really expensive who may be earning modest salaries. Some also move to Oakland, which has also gotten expensive, but commuting from there into SF is a major hassle and even worse if you work for a tech company south of SF city, which is where most are (90 minute commute). Their public transportation also sucks major butt compared to Berlin.
Time for the German media to ridicule Trump's tweets and speeches about North Korea as too aggressive. Meanwhile Asian diplomats in Berlin are kidnapped and smuggled out of the country without any real criticism.
What is with the huge surplus of 30-ish, 10-15kg overweight blond guys in this city that have black-rimmed, thick-lens glasses and wear ugly baseball caps? The guys who always have brand new basketball sneakers in pristine condition. They're all over the city. They always sport that vapid look of fear and anger in their eyes.
Its the new aryan look. None of them have a jawline to be reckoned with anymore, not like in the good old days. Big. soft, light-in-dem-loafers fairies. They are carbed out, hence the overweight and skitter like frightened deer across the road. Don´t worry, they won´t procreate, so their sort will be phased out gradually.
Germany stole 7 years from me and my joyful demeanour. The dreadful character traits these german people posess have been inculcated into them for generations. Have you got the message all you BH fans out there!!
Your sanity, your smile and sense of humour are on the chopping block for some German Metzger to THWACK! like a schweinshaxn. Horrendously emotionally repressed and cruel, yes I can fathom why they have been referred to as : ´Hitlers willing executioners´.
you people are so insensitive and mean. why are you insulting someone who shared their hate for Berlin?
You people are sickening pathetic losers who can't even support your fellow berlin hater. you are worse than the germans. you are as simple as a chicken. all you are capable of is pecking one another.
Mean is the point you coward. This is the place to let loose and express emotions which if allowed to go unchecked could result in unhealthy self-medicating, a psychiatric ward, or street bashings. We can channel the hatred into humour instead so that we can endure what we have to until we are liberated from this frightful place with its repulsive inhabitants.
"You can smell the freedom"

At some point you cease to be human anymore. You even cease to be a caricature of a human. These people must be aliens who base their entire understanding of humans on degenerate television and film. No one behaves like that routinely. Even the most depraved deviant in another city eventually self-reflects and calls it quits. In Berlin it is embraced as compensation for that gaping emotional void.
Freedom to do drugs, have open relationships, consume vegan products and mate drinks, get drunk, listen to pooping music and live on welfare.
No freedom for those who wish to make a project come true, or have a healthy long-term relationship with a normal, non-tattooed up woman.
You can meet people like me in Germany. Simply interact with foreigners who have no tattoos, don't do drugs, do their best to get a job and eat meat.
I left Germany after 9 years trying to make something happen and failing. I will return to Europe, but not to Germany.
These passive aggressive coward scumbags!!! I hate them so much!! Filthy cunts
No, I didn't mean such. It is not the fault of somebody when his mother was overprotecting all life. I respect how somebody looks and especially feels! You see "filthy cunts" was an expression that not fit the other two. It in fact opposes those before. This critical energy without feeling does not help at all, only brings one away from how you really feel about it.
For many hilarious and obnoxious stories i recommend www.notesofberlin.com, where a student posts notes from all over the city.
German knowledge provided.
straight from the Lufthansa website, "The city of the month: Berlin
Cosmopolitan, multicultural and progressive. The once divided German capital holds a wealth of options for the creative and the enterprising, the culture vultures and the night owls.
HAAAHAHHAHAAHAHA!!!!
It's funny, but also sad. The site shows us that the Germans are just as sh&tty to one another in their own language, and no one they're all so miserable because of it. My latest theory is that Germans have it SO incredibly good that they can't think of anything else to do with their high standard of living, good grade and cushdy jobs, than to pick on one another for not being a total Ubermensch. I'd love it if the average miserablist in this city spent a year or two volunteering in a food bank in Portugal, England, Spain or Italy so they'd realize how much of their good luck they're wasting on being whiny lil' biatches. Berlin has it good, so does most of Germany, why sh*t all over that? Pure ignorance.
Hipster - Club Mate - Yoga - Vegan - Techno - Migrant Ghetto kids - Feminist - Gypsies- Arabs - East Europeans - Bad Weather - Depression - Drugs - Boredom = Berlin
I think that this would perfectly summarizte the political attitudes in the several parts of Germany (Provided you heard about the "Political Compass").
For reminder, Berlin is that small enclosed spot near the east border in the red quarter.
Reminder: Public urination is ok. Yelling and intimidating people at night is ok. But making a gesture in irony is immediately punished.

Germany has been trying for 5 years to introduce a hygiene traffic light system for restaurants and other gastronomic businesses. Something developed countries have been doing for half a century. And of course restauranteurs and bakers are against it. This is the kind of thing that illustrates how few consumer safe-guards & rights there are in Germany.
Well, look at all the dog poo on the streets and you'll see why the restaurants think having literal sh*t in their food is okay.
Fun fact: Berlin has a far higher rate of Giardiasis than other cities because the morons here don't realize (or have never been taught by an equally slack public health authority) that leaving dog poop on the streets translates into having dog poop in the water... especially when the city has a high water table and relies upon natural aquifers to do all the filtration work, thus leaving the parasites intact. Don't drink the tap water here, is my advice. Sources who claim that it's high quality are deliberately overlooking the high rates of parasites, because they're not classed as a serious health problem but, believe you me, if you drink it regularly you'll notice you need Loperamide on hand at all times.
Gross or what?
The scum posting on this site is even worse than the scum they complain about.
Why Germans are so paranoid about data privacy stuff? They don't trust public wifis, they think USA tries to steal their data!!, they don't put their names on Facebook, instead write bullcrp abbreviations....what is this? I mean who would be interested in private life of any German, there's nothing it, boring krauts.
I have always wondered the same. I once lived with a german who refused to use hotmail, Facebook, instagram and the like because of "muh privacy". He also got paranoid each time the internet speed would go down, believing someone was trying to hack him. The funny thing was, this guy had the most boring life you can imagine. Would only leave the flat twice a week for work. In 5 years never had any visitors.
You can't win a world war if you're afraid of everything.
Data privacy laws here are a joke. If you've ever tried to get any company to either delete your data or to tell you where they obtained your data you will know. Or enjoy going to the doctor's office and having them announce as loudly as possible with paper-thin walls exactly what ailments you have. Actually I once got an examination in a doctor's office in Berlin in a tiny room that I imagine had previously been a closet of sorts that DID NOT HAVE A DOOR. And what about the fact that the police here can force German companies to provide them with all of the data they have on anyone without having to actually provide a reason, obtain a subpoena or even talk to a judge. And then there's the Impressumpflicht, compounded by the ridiculous amount of things you simply cannot say in public or online. If you use twitter you will be accustomed to seeing tweets and entire accounts that have been withheld in Germany. And then there's that whole pseudo-private institute that collects the Rundfunkbeitrag that somehow magically is allowed access to all of the registrations from the Bürgerämter. Plus, being required to disclose to the GERMAN government what your RELIGIOUS affiliations are is so ironically Orwellian that it's lost on this country.
your potential employer can see your profiles (yes!), and they won't like it because their potential customers can see them as well (yes!). I once got this explained to me. And my reply was: why do I have to work to a person who is curious about my personal profiles?.. Well, apparently, in Germany it is a big issue. It is nearly impossible to fit here with a non-standard biography. Exposing personality is like exposing genital here, people will smile, some will comment how courageous you are, but won't take you for a job after this. Unless... they will see some group of people emerging in America or Britain, then here will be a Muster.
It's true, Germans are paranoid about privacy because they totally disrespect it in one another. I still cringe every time I'm in a public office of some sort and the jerk behind the desk SHOUTS all my personal information and account details loud enough for people in the next city to hear. Instead of just telling one another to keep it down, or stop reading over their shoulder on the train, they make up crazy strict privacy laws. It's a coward's way out, that's what it is.
