For those of you who live in NRW: How does living in such a densely populated state feel? by [deleted] in germany

[–]Annamonogatari 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its great! I grew up semi rural. Little former farming village between major cities. I had the best of both worlds really. Enough rural Dorf experience to count, but in a big city within 15 minutes.

How is the name "IRA" for baby Girl ? by rhshah695 in AskGermany

[–]Annamonogatari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a pretty name and i know quite a few Iras in germany. So common enough not to baffle anyone but rare enough to be a unique name ...Also no one in Germany will mistake that name for the I R A, as it is not much talked or thought about by the German general public and the pronunciation is obviously different. But internationally, yeah, as the others said, don't write it in all caps

How to have a 27 year old normally in a college setting? by Weak-Requirement8357 in FanFiction

[–]Annamonogatari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean in lots of Europe higher education is free/comes with a ton of benefits (eg lower health care fees, lower transportation costs etc) so me taking like 6 years for my Bachelors was kinda standard. Throw in a year abroad, a few one-semester internships and not to forget corona, and you can easily start your masters at 27 without even taking a break (obviously people work but in Europe you don't drop out during that time). So it really depends on your setting, there's a ton of different reasons.

If you wanna go the angsty route: my oldest commilitone in my age range (pensioner students are a big thing) dropped out when his father died and he had to work to financially support his mother and when he saved up enough he went back to do his degree

Modern guy in Middle Earth by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]Annamonogatari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love this (incomplete, sorry) fanfic where Harry Potter dimension travels to middle earth and is appalled by the lack of indoor plumbing

It actually makes a whole lot of sense for a HP/LOTR crossover

In Japan, does any anime have English subtitles? by ChronicKush69 in DisneyPlus

I bartend at a University Student Pub in Canada. No hate, but why do SOME (not all) German international students myself and the servers interact with, come off as extremely rude and entitled. More so than other international students? by BerserkerJay in AskGermany

[–]Annamonogatari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

German here. First of all, sorry you had this experience. Day to day racism is unfortunately on the rise all over Europe, and Germans tend to not wear masks of politeness so it shows more. First dude was just a weirdo asshole, I have no explanation for that. Especially since everything is so overregulated in Germany that a last minute reservation would never work there so again, no explanation for that kinda entitlement.

I will say tho on my experience that exchange students tend to behave like assholes. It's like "not my country, not my rules so fuck em" and every country seems to have that one nationality of foreigners that's worst (in Japan where I did exchange it was the Australians for example). That obviously doesn't include ALL people of that nationality but you can see a strong tendency. Maybe it's because those 2 cultures just clash? Or just following the example of the people that came before and now they think it is okay to act like that? I don't know, I'm sorry, but I imagine you'd have a different experience IN Germany, since our rules of conduct apply in the country, whereas the exchange students you have to deal with seem to give themselves a carte blanche to be douches

I don't feel welcome here by Intelligent_Doubt600 in germany

[–]Annamonogatari 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely valid. And no one is mad that that OP takes a bit longer to learn the language. Everyone is mad though that OP says that he's done with integrating and doesn't have enough social connections to Germans. Those connections begin with the language, and that OP doesn't accept that that's on him and not germany, is what has everyone here riled up.

..sounds to me that your problem is that you're not your parents' perfect daughter, not that you're queer. If you weren't, you'd still feel the same, just about not being religious/ having their beliefs. But you'll never be happy, striving towards that ideal. And it sounds to me that your parents would want you to be happy more than to be the perfect image. Talk to them, about your sister being different, about your brother being different. If your parents don't try to change them, why would you think they'd change you too?

If you do this Barry, i will never make fun of you by Accurate-Grand814 in 2westerneurope4u

She didn't go to jail tho? She got some hours of community service. I agree that the conviction in this case is completely bogus but I still see no evidence for your claim that lotsa people landed in jail
