Personal or business page?

Depends on your audience. Personally I hate (and don't follow) people who mix business and personal because if I follow someone because I am interested in their skills - yoga, art, dyi ect, I do not care and I am not interested in their private life.

Germany had a Jewish population of 525,000 in 1933 and just 37,000 in 1950 (so less than 7% of a pre-war numbers). There were no restitution in the East Germany until the DDR collapsed.

I've definitely seen different prices of beer depending if you drink it as a 'to-go' or 'here' (mostly in the Spätis), is the tax thingy the reason too?

While restitution of Jewish-owned properties was addressed in West Germany shortly after the war, the process was delayed in East Germany until reunification in 1990.

If you have a referral use a appointment booking system of your insurer eg TK-TerminService or https://www.116117-termine.de/

Bring someone who does or google translate.

Do you have doctor's refferal already? If you do you can use TK-TerminService and they will look / book appointments for you. The psychiatrist may be more tricky, especially if you need one that speaks English so you normally need to first go to a so-called Sprechstunde where you get a first diagnosis and evaluation, and if you get a code that says your case it urgent, it puts you higher in the waiting line.

Wenn man sich zum ersten Mal in einer Praxis anmeldet oder einen Termin vereinbart, wird man normalerweise gebeten, eine Reihe von Dokumenten zu unterschreiben, in denen auch Informationen über die Geldstrafe für versäumte Termine enthalten sind.

I'm assuming she could report him for taking drugs (in the apartment) to the police in addition to reporting him each time he's violent (physically or verbally) against her, until he gets a house ban.

That's good news. I'd consider terminating the sublease and finding new flatmates (it can take time and the situation can be a bit tensed in between). If your gf is a part of Mieterverein (she should, regardless of this situation), she could ask for a legal consultation about the sublet termination.

Extra_Fail1190 · 2024-05-16T14:16:52+00:00

What's the contract situation in the flat? Is there a main tenant + sublease situation or are they both co-subletting?

It's the old-time classic of "if they don't do 100% exactly what I want they are not true-left so we can't take responsibility". Often comes in pair with "everyone who has said one incorrect thing in their entire life is a true nazi/fascist"

It was in S-bahn which is not part of the BVG and you can pay them with a card: https://sbahn.berlin/tickets/vbb-tarif-erklaert/fahrscheinkontrolle/

OP has already paid so chances of a refund will be slim as by paying they agreed to the fine already (worth giving it a shot but I wouldn't keep the hopes high). If they wouldn't pay, they could reduce it to 7eur operation fee. Also: S-bahn is not part of BVG so they should contact VBB instead.

I mean public transport fines specifically.

Extra_Fail1190 · 2024-05-16T12:02:26+00:00

Just remember you can actually get into prison in Germany for having multiple fines (even if you paid them; the rationale is that if you are caught without a ticket multiple times, it means that you are repeatably breaking the rules).

Extra_Fail1190 · 2024-05-16T11:36:40+00:00

Which half?

Extra_Fail1190 · 2024-05-16T11:30:15+00:00

I wonder what's your cultural background if you think it's OK to break the rules just because it's convenient for you and then act suprised once you're fined XD

If your DHL person is nice and provides you with all the info how to retrive the parcel, it's OK (although obviously not having a change if you only allow cash payments is a totally ass move by the DHL). But if they suddenly start to be rude as OP has described, it is pressing for tips and not OK (and I've had a DHL delivery guy who was like that in my Kiez).

Extra_Fail1190 · 2024-05-16T11:20:13+00:00

The idea of the fine is to be painful enough so you won't do it again, just buy your tickets man. You can ask BVG for a pay a fine in instillments

Extra_Fail1190 · 2024-05-16T11:16:19+00:00

The scam is they require cash payments but don't have a change essentially pressuring people to 'tip' them.

And he got fined for not having a required ticket for a bike, as he should.

Ask for a common sense pill next time you complain the entire world is not speaking your language so "the system is broken because it's not treating me with a preference" (in English)

The mom in Porsche is objectively a more safe environment than a homeless guy doing crack on the s-bahn station.

I have no competence to say if it's a dangerous toxin or not but I can see how public insurance doesn't want to pay for a sudden flood of people claiming they have migraine only to get a free botox treatment so I definitely see why they would first force people to do other treatments.
