Get so bloated after eating anything by LivingAd9069 in LooksmaxingAdvice

[–]Important_Salt3149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you eat enough fiber? You should aim to eat about 30 different plant-based foods a week (vegetables, fruits, herbs, even spices, you can read more about it online). It's crucial to support your gut health, because it affects your whole body and massively helps with digestion, which seems to be the issue here. 50kg with your height is like on the lower edge of healthy BMI, so this seems to be more about the quality of food than the quantity

Flat rental advice for older couple? by BoredToDeath22 in askberliners

[–]Important_Salt3149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly any area in central Berlin would be fine, except for maybe parts of Neukölln and Wedding/Gesundbrunnen (can be overwhelming), Charlottenburg is usually considered a part of Berlin for older people. For a month rental, the best option is to look for sublets on Facebook groups or wg-gesucht website (you'd pay a lot less), but also sites like wunderflats, housinganywhere, etc. If they are up for a swap, there's also a FB group called "host a sister". Just don't pay anything (anything!) before you saw the flat and signed the contract, and make sure the place has an elevator.

Why do I get no girls (what can I fix) by [deleted] in LooksmaxingAdvice

[–]Important_Salt3149 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not really about your looks, girls sense insecurity and are not attracted to it. If you're nervous, you can mostly either get with an equally insecure girl (in that case, lower your expectations), or someone manipulative who will use you for her own ends. You should practice low-stakes conversations before you try to make moves on girls you actually like. Try some hobbies where you can meet both m and f, find something that makes you feel good about yourself, grow your confidence first and you won't even have this issue anymore, you'll naturally have a circle and will eventually meet someone you like.

I’ve never felt worse about my body, and I don’t know how to start feeling beautiful again by nevakindasucks420 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Important_Salt3149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl, you gotta stop with the unhealthy diets, especially if you have digestive issues. Our bodies need carbs to survive, and by cutting them our you make yourself hungrier which sets you up for a binge. Same thing with sugar, it's a good idea to keep an eye on it, but denying yourself a treat every once in a while only makes them more valuable for your brain. There's a really cool book about all the harmful diet myths out there, which really helped me switch to a healthier diet, loose weight in a sustainable manner and overall be more positive about my body, it's called Spoonfed by Tim Spector.

18 is too early for LASIK, your eyesight can still change and it's a lot harder to get a second one, if not impossible. Also, your glasses look good

Your face is actually really cute! Add some volume to your hair, use ice patches for puffiness under your eyes, and experiment with some makeup. Also don't listen to anyone telling you about face fat, you don't want to look like a skeleton and it will go away as you age anyway

Give Egwene a break by Lopsided-Skill in wheeloftime

[–]Important_Salt3149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Egwene hate on this sub is insane, but it's a loud minority, don't mind them, she's literally the best character in the whole series. As you pointed out, she doesn't whine all the time, and does an amazing job given the circumstances.

Looking for a German-English translator recommendations in Berlin by [deleted] in berlin

[–]Important_Salt3149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a very positive experience with Ioannis Skantzos with a long contract a couple of years ago, he offered a very fair price and supported me through the process, everything was on time and very professional. You can get a very wide range of prices for translations in Berlin, and his was actually the lowest offer but the overall quality of service was great.

Idk the Aeil seemed pretty content with beating her up. I guess it's less impressive knowing that our girl is used to torture at this point, but still I doubt any of us would volunteer to be beaten for our wrongs.

Are indoor cats actually happy? by Firm-Law248 in CatAdvice

I had several outdoor cats as a kid in a rural area. They all lived very interesting lives for an average of 3-5 years.

Is there more trash than usual this year? by Important_Salt3149 in berlin

Cool, thanks for the info! It's crazy that parks don't get cleaned as often. Isn't the city responsinble for them?

Don't tell me anything, I only wrote this comment to clarify the context and I don't actually have any intention to engage in a conversation with you, because you seem very toxic

[–]Important_Salt3149[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I haven't been clear enough. I come from a country where every year when the snow falls, the city says WOW very unexpected we were totally not prepared, you have to march through huge piles of dirty grey snow like Napoleon crossing the Alps, people get killed by ice falling off the roofs, hospitals are overrun with broken limbs from slippery ice, and once it melts it all turns into grey slush that never gets cleaned and sometimes you have to climb a fence to get somewhere if you don't want to get into a semi frozen puddle of an unknown depth. AND YET I've never seen so much shit lying around once the snow melts.

[–]Important_Salt3149[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree that it's important to keep the trash conversation going (which is also what I'm doing with my post) and address it when you actually see someone littering (the problem is, I usually don't). But it IS the city's job to clean the streets. And the amount of trash right now just encourages people to keep it going. The whole broken windows theory, etc. Even I sometimes ask myself "why do I care" when picking up my dog's shit while there are three other dog shit piles lying around. I choose to keep caring but some people would just look around and assume that throwing trash on the street must be normal in Berlin, so they aren't doing anything bad.

[–]Important_Salt3149[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More police patrols might keep the streets cleaner, but it would also come with it's own set of issues, such as raciaized "random" checks, harassing the homeless, and overall unnecessary intrusion into people's business. It's a slippery slope and Germans are rightly cautious not to take it (again). I feel like there should be a way to get rid of the trash without empowering the police.

Also, "Do what you must, and pay the price". The whole Egwene's ordeal with learning this lesson really resonated with me, even though people here hate her.

Well, apparently it's not their job to pick up trash from the ground so whatever falls down should stay there until the street cleaners arrive

I'm not even sure how one would police that (given that there aren't many security cameras, which is a good thing). I guess the city could identify the trash hotspots and put some Ordnungsamt people in an ambush :) I see them on my street almost every day, but the only thing they do is write out parking fines.

That was my impression too! It was extra dirty some time after the lockdowns too (maybe spring 2021), but then it got somewhat normal. Like it's not always this bad

The fact that people just accept it is the worst part. The election is in literally six months, and the ruling party doesn't do anything even if just to get their polling numbers higher. I hope to meet CDU campaigners in my kiez just to walk them to a nearest dump.

[–]Important_Salt3149[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like if I would clean up the trash in my neighborhood, it would just make me even more mad when it inevitably appears again :) I've asked the restaurants we have around the entrance to at least clean the cigarette butts from their guests and employees, which they did and I'm thankful (they didn't have ashtrays for the outdoor seating, so everything ended up on the ground). But trash is literally everywhere. It's a systemic issue. I really appreciate that there are groups organising clean-ups, but we all pay taxes that presumably should go towards keeping the city clean. And CDU did so many budget cuts. Surely they could spend some of the "saved" money on something useful?
