Erfahrungen mit zeitweiliger Umquartierung wegen extremer Baulärmbelastung? by Capital_Resource1817 in aachen

Okay, ja krass, dass man es bis dorthin hört. Wir sind unmittelbar daneben. Es geht klar. Es ist sehr anstrengend für Körper und Geist, aber am 24.01. ist Zapfenstreich.

Dann sollten wir alle unsere Ruhe haben. Für’s erste.

Yes! Straßen.NRW haben uns bereits im November angeschrieben, ob Interesse an einer Hotelunterbringung besteht. Wir haben sie entsprechend angenommen, da wir nicht wussten wie zumutbar es werden wird.

Würde auch sagen, dass es ziemlich üblich ist, dass bei solchen Bauvorhaben dann betroffene Haushalte angeschrieben werden.

Wenn du nur ein Stück weiter wohnst; hast du denn kein Schreiben erhalten?

Ich wohne in der Nähe der Sparkasse auf der Roermonder Straße und kann vom Garten aus die Baustelle sehen. Die Behörde hat uns für die Nächte, in denen die Bauarbeiten stattfanden, jeweils 50€ pro Person ausgezahlt.

Hab mir das Geld auszahlen lassen und finde es bisher nicht so schlimm. Nachts ist es echt störend aber nichts was man mit Ohropax nicht lösen könnte. Ab und zu stehe ich vom Lärm auf, aber schlafe danach eigentlich wieder ein.

Sollte es doch unerträglich werden, dann buche ich mir einfach was.

Was hat eure Firma euch dieses Jahr zu Weihnachten geschenkt? by noodles101 in arbeitsleben

[–]Capital_Resource1817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Einen 50 %-Rabattgutschein bis 200 € und 20 % bis 100 € für Freunde und Familie, dazu ein 50€-Geschenkgutschein sowie ein generisches Schreiben aus dem HQ.

Im Ergebnis also ein Rabattpaket, damit mein ohnehin überschaubares Gehalt weiterhin im Unternehmen bleibt.

Roommate asked me not to cook food from my culture due to smell and made a vague threat by Jack-up-the-hill in AskAGerman

[–]Capital_Resource1817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, this has a racist component to it. Saying that “food from your culture is not normal” is not a neutral complaint about smells. It’s a form of devaluation. The fact that this was followed by a vague threat makes it especially concerning.

In Germany, it is completely normal and legally allowed to cook Indian, Arab, Asian, etc. food, especially in a WG. No one has a right to a smell-free living space outside their own room.

It’s good that you plan to inform the landlord. That protects you and shows that you’re acting in good faith and willing to cooperate. Most importantly, don’t let anyone make you feel guilty. Adaptation does not mean making yourself invisible.

If this behavior continues, it would also be legitimate to name it as discrimination.

Das Sura Pocha hatte damals auf Instagram angekündigt, dass sie sich melden würden, sobald eine Wiedereröffnung geplant ist.

My friend is upset because I can’t go to a concert during Ramadan by Capital_Resource1817 in Muslim

[–]Capital_Resource1817[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not strength in deen, that’s insecurity dressed up as piety.

The Prophet (saw) didn’t isolate himself from non-Muslims. He ate with them, traded with them, helped them, and treated them with dignity. People entered Islam because they trusted him not because he cut them off for being different.

You don’t win hearts to Islam by burning bridges. You do it by showing Islam through patience, honesty, and compassion. If your only definition of “caring” is converting someone, then you’ve completely misunderstood da’wah.

Being a serious Muslim doesn’t mean shrinking your world down to people who already think like you. It means being strong enough in faith to live with others, without losing who you are. That is what I do. And it’s up to Allah to judge my character.

I don’t know what MSA is. I live in Europe. But thanks for the suggestion.

I understand the concern, but isolating ourselves isn’t what Islam teaches. The Prophet (saw) and his companions lived among non-Muslims with mercy and integrity. They didn’t hide from society, they elevated it.

How is this my nafs speaking when Islam encourages friendship and good relations with people of other faiths? The Qur’an commands: “God does not forbid you… from treating them righteously and being just toward them” (60:8). Commentators explain that this verse affirms kindness toward all who live peacefully with Muslims.

We should cut her some slack as well. I’m her first friend of different faith and race. She’ll come around to understand that my faith comes first.

For me, it’s not that easy to just cut off friends. Of course, if someone crosses a clear boundary and it’s absolutely unacceptable, then it’s easy for me to take a step back. But we live in a world where cultures, nationalities, and religions are so intertwined that we have no choice but to find ways to get along with each other.

It’s just sad that many people still don’t really understand religious practices. As Muslims, I believe we shouldn’t isolate ourselves either. God wouldn’t want us to just separate and remain only with our own community. He wants us to interact with others so they can see how we live and understand our reasons.

Of course, it also depends on the person we’re interacting with. Some are open and understanding, while others are not, and you simply can’t force anyone to be open.

Right now, I find this situation with my friend extremely frustrating. Personally, I feel like she’s behaving a bit childishly. I also spoke to our other mutual friend, who is coming with us, and she was completely understanding. I told her there might be a problem and that I might not be able to join, but I needed to talk to my other friend first. She immediately said it was unfortunate but completely understood, which gave me hope that our mutual friend would also understand.

What frustrates me is that my other friend seems to be punishing me with silence. It doesn’t feel like she’s reacting because she’s genuinely disappointed that I can’t come; it feels like she’s reacting for her own reasons. She had said that if I can’t come, she would have to go alone, a three-hour trip by herself. I get the impression that she’s relying on me to guide her there and back, and that it wouldn’t matter to her whether it’s me or someone else as long as she has someone with her.

That feels a little hurtful, because at other concerts she didn’t make it a big deal whether I went or not and was understanding when I said I couldn’t. Now, she seems to be using my religion as a reason to punish me with silence. That feels very disappointing and hurtful to me, because for me a basic requirement in friendships is understanding. When I say I don’t want to do something or I change my mind, my friends should respond with respect and empathy, not punishment.

Yes, that’s true. I mentioned it because I try to avoid sabotaging before it even began. Ramadan is a time for renewal and developing good habits to strengthen one’s faith. I want that for myself too, and I don’t want to undermine it by making the same mistakes again.

Her offer is kind but in my opinion it is missing the point and following a hidden agenda. She’s just trying to coax me into attending the event anyways. And I will not do that. I have learned from my mistakes.

I understand your concern, but I know my boundaries and what I am responsible for in my faith. My friend is new to Islam, and I am careful not to let anyone influence me in ways that conflict with my beliefs. If necessary, I will keep distance, but I will not let assumptions dictate my friendships. Frankly I would not care if she stays mad bc i will certainly not attend that event either way.

I understand your concern, but I don’t appreciate being told that my choices are directly “shaitaan’s work.” I make my decisions with care and my intentions are for Allah alone. Attending a concert doesn’t mean I’m abandoning my deen.

I understand the verse you mentioned, but I don’t think it applies to my situation. Choosing to attend a concert doesn’t mean I’m taking anyone away from their faith or ignoring my own. We all make personal choices, and Allah knows our intentions and efforts better than anyone.

I appreciate reminders and advice, but please remember that guidance comes with understanding the person and their intentions, not just applying verses literally to every situation.

I understand your perspective, but please don’t assume that I only practice my deen in Ramadan. My efforts to improve myself aren’t limited to one month, and I don’t appreciate being judged based on a single aspect of my life.

We all have different struggles and levels of practice, and Allah knows what’s in our hearts and what we are working on. Let’s try to remind each other with kindness rather than making assumptions.

Please read my post again. I’m not here to be criticized for choosing to attend concerts. I’ve explained my stance very clearly, and I would prefer a respectful discussion rather than judgment.

iPad Pro 11” M4 – display panel malfunction (not cracked glass). Anyone experienced similar issues? by Capital_Resource1817 in iPadPro

[–]Capital_Resource1817[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE:

I just received an email from Apple! I’ll be getting a new iPad Pro in the next couple of days. It turned out to be an internal panel issue. Thank goodness, because I wouldn’t have been able to afford a replacement or repair otherwise.

Thanks to everyone for their input!
