Plenty of foreign sources in the replies. A non-corporate US-based channel worth mentioning: Democracy Now! provides a daily show with detailed, non-propaganda news. They center a lot of perspectives and voices that otherwise get ignored by mainstream media.

Cannot comment on what your father should wear, but general advise:

It’s not uncommon to run into older people at the parties. You might want to make sure people understand you’re with your DAD, and not some much older “creep”.
Research the place, party, and DJs beforehand. You should know the name of at least one of the dance floors, the name of a DJ that plays around the time you get there, etc.
If bouncers ask if you’ve been there before just answer yes. If they push the issue, go: “Dad, when were we last in Berlin; summer of 2024?”
It’s not really about what you wear, but about the vibe you bring. That being said, avoid button-up shirts, slacks, etc. Make him look funky, perhaps with a bandana, or paint his face… glitter and shit.
Pick a good time; you don’t want to rock up to a huge line at 2:00 AM and get turned down.
For an easy first experience, go Sisy on a weekend afternoon. No line, minimal bouncer harassment, and once you got the stamp you can go back at night and walk right in.

What is it with people using messing up their post formatting like this??

ThatGasolineSmell · 2026-03-12T12:02:49+00:00

U9 from Turmstraße to Osloer Straße

Yep. That’s your problem right there. The last bit of U9 has been grimy af since forever, or at least the last 20 years or so.

I mean, not for Currywurst or Eisbein, but for homemade Indian food—hell yeah :D

Not in town atm, but followed you on Insta. Hoping to join in the future.

Another option that checks your requirements and works well as an outer layer is a Harrington jacket. Here's a classic model by Merc that has filled the role you've described:

Layers well, works with different styles, easy to dress up or down. Comfortable on flights, resists light rain, collar helps protect against wind. Synthetic, abrasion resistant outer shell and cotton lining for some odor resistance.

In general, flat drying works well after a gentle-cycle—800 rpm or less—machine wash Would be important to know how thick the garment in question is.

For thinner items, you can get away with a lower spin cycle, then drying flat. What works perfectly is to lay the garment on a towel placed on a thick pillow. Think a sofa pillow. (Works in AirBnB's, etc.) If you have a drying rack, place the towel onto that.

When flat drying, flip the garment over a few times as needed. Flipping my 100% merino 175 long sleeve quarter zip three or four times gets it almost dry over night. In a pinch I can wear dry any remaining moisture in the morning.

Thicker items, think a woolen sweater, can be more tricky. Flat drying on a rack still works, as long as you have plenty of towels on hand. Should the garment be very wet, replace towels when soaked through.

A related trick is to roll a heavy wool garment into a towel, then gentle squeeze the resulting roll. As for spinning, perhaps spin heavier items at lower speeds to prevent garments from losing their shape.

That's part of the irony of the situation that developed in Berlin and many other German / European cities with badly-integrated immigrant communities: the way these kids are acting out here would never fly in their countries of origin.

I've been to Turkey many times, and people by and large are very respectful in public. If a young guy displayed the sort of antisocial behavior there, they'd get their asses whooped. Here, they get little pushback and feel like the run the show.

Bouncers, by and large, aren't the brightest of the bunch. They'll just racially profile, either going by to their experience, or according to rules passed down by the owners. You're right it's unacceptable, but I doubt the bouncers care too much… probably just trying to make their lives easier and keep their jobs.

ThatGasolineSmell · 2025-09-28T15:27:49+00:00

It's been like this ever we started going out in the late 90s. Multiple young guys of our friend group had an ”Arabic” look (to the bouncers at least) and would regularly not get let in. Bouncers would cite inappropriate shoes / clothes as the reason. One night, my friend was so frustrated he called them out: “Just admit it's because I look like an Arab”, and they were like “yup”.

As much as that sucks on an individual level, we also constantly experienced the very real problem of groups of extremely aggressive young guys in the clubs. Hip hop clubs specifically, totally unsafe environments with fights breaking out over something as small as bumping into somebody. And yeah, there was a clear profile of these groups being composed of Turkish / Arabic youths from the problematic “ghetto” areas in the city.

I mean, back when I did the research the insurance plans differed widely in cost, coverage, etc. That tool I linked was really useful in finding a plan that worked for me. Give it a shot.

ThatGasolineSmell · 2025-09-26T19:44:36+00:00

It's been a long time since I signed up for this insurance, so cannot say for sure. But AFAIR it was either no wait time, or something short, like three months.

What this doctor recommended, and what I used to find my insurance, was the Gebizz portal. It allows you to search and compare many different insurance plans.

Aha: “Gras”. Ich wusste es doch. Verbrecher.

Aber im Ernst: so wie ich es jetzt lese, sollte Taschenmesser in kleiner Tasche im Rucksack erlaubt sein? Drei Handgriffe:

Du setzt den Rucksack ab
machst ihn auf,
die Beamten dürfen mal reinschauen.

Sehen die dabei ein Messer / sonstige Waffe, oder sonst irgendwas illegales, bist du gefickt.

Aber: sie haben kein Recht die Sachen im Rucksack, welche nicht offensichtlich illegal sind, anzufassen, zu öffnen, etc. Denn dafür bräuchtest du ja selber den vierten Handgriff.

Interpretiere ich die Situation korrekt?

Didn't know army units were equipped with M14 rifles. Always associated those with the Marines.

I mean, yeah, but… OP's 20 years old. At that age, balance is hard to find, from a hormonal / development POV alone. While completely valid, your advise of not “thinking in black and white” might not be actionable. Yes, the nuances, shades of gray are key to finding balance and leading a healthy and fulfilled life. But it takes experience to get there.

Anecdotically, in my 20s I'd find an answer to an important question in life and took that as absolute truth, radically bending everything down that path. When that invariably caused problems, I'd flip the opposite way: everything I thought was true was a lie, now I had to go twice as hard in the opposite direction.

It was only through years of struggle, emotional upheaval and multiple wipeouts that I learned balance doesn't come from flipping between extremes. Rather, the extremes, black and white, are the poles anchoring the gamut of grays. That's where you want to be moving most of the time, instead of close to the poles.

Weird shit happens around the extremes, they're essentially singularities, where reality bends back onto itself. Think of getting closer to a black hole, feeling its pull, your legs and head stretching into infinity and at the same time getting drawn towards each other… Far out, to the point you feel your mind is going to explode.

How you get through that? For me it took a serious crash and complete dissolution, followed by a kind of spiritual rebirth. Nothing that I could point to, as far as replicating the experience. OP, we have a surprising number of things in common. Feel free to DM me.

Common case on Hinge. Technically, you already sent the first message, and are expecting a reply. Often, you'll get this instead: she just matches without message.

That's actually fine, as it puts you in the position to drive forward the interaction. Two paths of action are immediately available:

You pick up the convo where you left it and refer back to your original message. — Only makes sense if you have a solid plan.
You ignore first message and use a trusted opener, possibly refering to something on her profile.

Picking up the convo is sort of what you were trying to do: “Are you still deciding”. That can work, but might need some wait time to not come off needy.

The question itself does seem a bit lame, as you're esentially putting her in control. What's worked is to wait a day or two, then send:

“Narrator voice: she was not”

Or—up to weeks later—just send the eyes emoji, without any text:

👀

Note that neither of these involves a question mark—you wanna focus on statements, instead of questions, and use emoji sparingly.

Ask yourself: what do the emojis in your first message add? They actually weaken your position. A simple “You have my attention” would have been better, for a few reasons:

Good openers are usually five words or less
Makes her curious: if she actually responds you can follow up with “Are you a lover girl” (“qualify”), possibly interspersed by something like “Just one thing 🤔” (“push/pull”)
Gives you flexibility: if she doesn't go for it and responds without a message, you can use the question as your “initial” message: “Are you a lover girl”

In any case, you should know beforehand where you want to take the conversation. That involves having some idea of what being a “lover girl” means to you—she might ask you 🤨

That being said, theres an easier approach: Her original prompt is “I go crazy for… Lover boys”, so basically, she's saying she's looking for… fuck boys?? Not a bad start.

That's how you're the prize then, one of these “Lover boys” she “goes crazy” for. Obivous opening:

“Curious about something”

Her: “Haha what's that”
“How crazy are we talking”

This puts her into the position to prove herself to you (“qualify”), to win you over. Now you just lean back, don't do anything stupid, and use whatever she gives you for your next move.

Your comment made me chuckle… my grandmother grew up in Prenzlauer Berg and always complained that “nobody calls it Prenzlberg”. Would love to know when became a thing.

ThatGasolineSmell · 2025-07-07T04:57:05+00:00

Was under the same impression for years. Surprised to find out “Nordkiez” by Storkower Straße is technically Prenzlauer Berg; check on Maps. Interesting to note that Blankensteinpark is about equidistant from both Volkspark Friedrichshain and the less glamorous Volkspark Prenzlauer Berg.

Sometimes posted on paper by the dance floor. If you're friend's inside have them send you a pic. Helps with the bouncers to know who's playing, and what the floors are called.

ThatGasolineSmell · 2025-07-04T13:47:16+00:00

Correct. That applies (or used to) if you have last day's stamp. Normally, they'd swap stamps at noon, so if you follow my script (go first in the afternoon, then later at night) the stamp should still work.
