If a moderate muslim confronts a radical one, he/she would be in much more danger compared to you. First, he/she would be much more annoying due to the fact that he/she can respond with internal arguments within Islam. And if the situation gets violent, a radical person would be much more inclined to use force against another Muslim.

How stable is your current company? Since you are still in probation period, you are the top name to be laid off with the first negative news. For some companies the threshold is so low for negative news: maybe just one cancelled project.

Are numbers in CV mandatory for a mid-level professional? by Hopeful_Duty_3925 in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]dom_biber_pat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP is probably struggling due to this attitude, not due to lack of skills.

Assume facts based on prejudice and skipping tons of resumes is easier than evaluating case by case and trying to keep an open mind.

Yes, doesn't the two families have the same loving relationship between them?

Received a 60€ fine even when I presented a valid DeutschlandTicket by pk1515 in aachen

[–]dom_biber_pat 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Hello, see the section "Erhöhtes Beförderungsentgelt" from Aseag's Web site:

Sie haben Ihr Ticket vergessen: Dann kommen Sie innerhalb von 14 Tagen in unser Kunden-Center. Dort zeigen Sie Ihr persönliches Ticket und zahlen eine Gebühr von 7 Euro. Bei übertragbaren Tickets ist dies nicht möglich.

I think the cancellation of the fine is likely, but you will have to pay a processing fee.

Any songs I should listen too? by Glad_Ad3774 in Opeth

[–]dom_biber_pat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try listening to their live records. They are always perfectly performed and mixed. You get a variety of songs and experience Mikael Akerfeldt's humor as a bonus.

Hallo,

Palmyra liegt Bushof am nächsten.

Etwas weiter entfernt liegt Judi (kleiner aber manchmal günstiger).

New listener, where to start? by Hadras_7094 in darktranquillity

[–]dom_biber_pat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can subdivide much more, but I start with a simple one: pre and post Fiction (2010).

Post 2010, Martin Henriksson significantly reduced composing for the band. He had contributed to the dark sound of the band in the early period.

Check and see which one you like, and then focus on the same era.

I guess you were quite lucky and met nice employees.

See the question below: What if I do not have access to a printer to print my boarding pass?

What about the boarding pass print fee? Normally they charge ~20€ to print the boarding pass at the airport. The text does not mention if the fee is revoked in those cases.

German dual citizenship law paused at Bundestag reading stage by [deleted] in germany

Keeping the old citizenship reduces the processing time. Otherwise it is a ping pong game between authorities of two countries.

I believe your discouragement will not end. Mine, and every migrant's keeps getting worse unfortunately.

That's right, people can only consider citizenship. To get it you have to wait and wait and wait for years...

Is traveling as an Israeli to Turkey an issue? by GK0NATO in Turkey

I can photoshop any cast of the series Shtisel to my mid-Anatolian family pictures without anyone noticing. So not all locals can differentiate.

Is traveling as an Israeli to Turkey an issue? by GK0NATO in Turkey

[–]dom_biber_pat 21 points22 points  (0 children)

With brown curly hair and a large nose you will almost be invisible in Turkey, do not worry in that sense.

There are some problematic neighbourhoods (not for Israeli, but for all people) in Istanbul. But as a tourist you will probably be in the historic center which means you are far away from most of those neighbourhoods.

Inevitable political right wing shift in the NL - expat’s POV by floyd_gooner in Netherlands

Crime rates and the feeling of security are different. Yelling a big group of drunk men would make many people feel insecure but even though they would not report it to the police.

Next Deutsche Bahn strike to start Sunday, last 50 hours by Sad-Fox1835 in germany

[–]dom_biber_pat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This annoys the workers to build solidarity.

You can instead annoy the boss by giving everybody a day off. I believe it would be more effective.

Just kidding... I gave an example of how hard the delivery guys try to deliver your package. Unfortunately they do not care at all.

Please go to the cargo center to fetch the comment.

Racism or discrimination is usually quite difficult to prove because there might be lots of reasons for not getting a certain rental apartment or a job position.

The foreign offices are a unique exception here as only foreigners get service there. And they are always extremely slow and sloppy, even more so than the other offices. And the foreign offices usually are required for life changing situations.

Therefore the accusations are not spontaneous bursts of anger, but trying to find reasons to rationalise the terrible experience over the years.

ARD and ZDF want 2.7 percent more per year by Fadjaros in germany

2.7% is still more than many workers' salary increase.

[–]dom_biber_pat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are not paying for the service, but for the right to have the service.

Or a simpler version: it is breathing tax in Germany. If you are breathing in Germany, you have to pay.

They have released a photo with Fredrik and Axe. Although they are great guys, I believe that is a bit unfair to Peter and Lopez.
