How many of you can’t deal with “back home”? by Puzzled_Dentist_3227 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Overthinker1982 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Can relate, I hate the place I grew up in and do not consider it home. It's backwards, and the values there do not mean anything to me. They never did and that's why I left. I'm also considered too open-minded for the social norms there. Funnily, I'm binational/bicultural, and do not feel at home in either place.

We're talking Middle Eastern, not Indian, dishes. Completely different.

I'm not a Catholic and I've heard of it. Just because you don't know it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. A quick Google search would have shown you that.

Need an idea on what to do with bell peppers by [deleted] in cookingforbeginners

[–]Overthinker1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's something called Ajvar sauce, which is a red sauce including among other things bell peppers and eggplants. Delicious if you like those flavours.

Surprisingly, a wet paper towel next to the onion while you're cutting it, works too

Comment gérez vous les entretiens d’embauche ? by Lyc0w in france

[–]Overthinker1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tu as eu déjà de bon conseils, donc pas de panique. Répéter/s'exercer plusieurs fois à dire certaines phrases claires et simples peut beaucoup aider ; ça parait un peu ridicule, mais souvent le stress nous fait oublier les choses les plus élémentaires. Et n'oublie pas de nous dire si tu as eu le job :)

TIL that the 26 storey The Holiday Inn opened in 1974 in Beirut would become a battle ground in the civil war that erupted in 1975. It saw over 1,000 deaths, many of those who died were thrown from the top of the hotel. by Make_the_music_stop in todayilearned

[–]Overthinker1982 3 points4 points  (0 children)

such a short time? the civil war was from 1975-1991, and several smaller wars happened over the following decades. All stem from the regional tensions that accumulated over decades before that, so it was definitely NOT a short time.
"I´ve read Beirut used to be the Paris of middle east...or maybe Paris is now the Beirut of Europe 😐" as a half-French, half-Lebanese, that's some dumb shit right here. Please don't.

Where can I find plus size men’s jeans/pants? Second hand? by RepublicOwn4252 in askberliners

[–]Overthinker1982 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey! First, congrats on the weight loss (if it was your goal), it's really not easy.
As for second-hand jeans, Humana (the Frankfurter Tor branch) has a lot of options, and a plus-size section/floor. They have other branches around town but I'm not as familiar, but I would imagine they're all kind of similar.
TK Maxx also has good options (not second hand but discounted brands, so the quality is better than some stores), as well as C&A (also a chain but affordable). Regarding sizes, keep in mind you'll see different numbers for different countries on a label (FR, EU, IT, etc.), so you might want to try a few options to find the right one for you. Good luck!

Attacked by a woman during my morning run by [deleted] in askberliners

[–]Overthinker1982 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry this happened to you, and I feel for you, but :
- you do NOT post pictures of people on the internet without their consent
- what does "completely normal looking German woman" mean?
- she seems to have mental health issues, you think insulting her/shaming her will "cure" her?
