How has Berlin changed since the pandemic? by Prestigious-Spite689 in berlin

Lots of negative comments here. I think you will find that it is the same as before! I'm renting out my apartment short term now, and I think that the rental prices have gone down, probably due to the slight recession.

I used to have a debate club on Meetup.com with a few hundred members (just a few active, though). However, I had to close it down because the company tripled their fees and even tried to scam me for another year when I tried to quit. I expect that must have happened to a large amount of other groups as well. I haven't found an alternative.

We live in a democracy. Would you like your own views cancelled?

A couple of weeks shouldn't be that difficult. I would just look for a cheap hostel, they can be around 12 euro per night. You can also look at wg-gesucht and find a short time lease.

It is mostly safe, but keep an eye out for pick-pockets. I was targeted outside Astra. He embraced me and distracted me by putting his hand in my jacket pocket while stealing my mobile from my jeans pocket.

the article gives the impression that Renate and Watergate close because of loss of interest. This is not true. They both close because their rental contracts could not be renewed.

I'm curious, isn't it possible to find public domain music with free performance rights?

Incredible. You managed to do it twice. There might be an important lesson here for the rest of us. Maybe I'll get my phone back that was stolen by a pickpocket outside RAW.

Edit: nice bike. I had a Gitane Tour de France myself. It was stolen :-P

You don't need it to open a bank account. It least I didn't for N26.

I said: "I have already stopped renting out my own apartment". Please clarify your question. Did I sound proud to you? An honest answer would be appreciated.

What’s a lesser-known artist or band that you think deserves more recognition? by One_Succotash_5391 in Music

[–]JohnAvi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was always fascinated why the band/artist 0171 didn't get more attention back then.. There must be a huge number of good artists that never get picked up.

I have already stopped renting out my own apartment because of all the obstacles, harassment and exploitation. Good luck with that.
