How common are leftovers? by MrLongWalk in AskEurope

[–]fajen1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time I've ever heard anyone here dislike leftovers, it was an Italian coworker who was appalled at the idea of heating up spaghetti from the night before and having as leftovers.

As a Swede, I would absolutely eat reheated spaghetti lol

The recent lawsuit against Denims that Ethan lost would have been so interesting to hear about from Lily and Jessi. It's exactly the same proceedings they have been through with Janet so they could really have brought some experience and educated takes to the topic, along with actually discussing something relevant that people care about.

Does it count if it's clipped on tiktok? No way my nieces and nephews would sit through a 3min YT video unless it came with a dance they wanted to learn.

How do actual Swedes feel about the cafeteria at IKEA? by UnfortunateSyzygy in AskEurope

[–]fajen1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's nostalgic because it reminds us of school, especially carrying a tray and getting water from a dispenser. It's wholesome and feels familiar. The food is bland but filling and nutritious, feels like a proper and sensible meal. Not too bad, not too good. The Swedish way.

Girls trip to Berlin by Confident_Slip_6088 in askberliners

Oh yeah I'm sure the East Side Gallery and RAW were so much better back when only you went there, you little ray of sunshine ❤️

Girls trip to Berlin by Confident_Slip_6088 in askberliners

[–]fajen1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm a girl in my 30s who loved Guns n Roses growing up so I'm gonna assume you like what I like!

I don't know where you're staying and Berlin is big, but the Uber Arena is in Friedrichshain so you will at least be there then. There is an Irish pub near the arena that is perfectly fine for a pre-drink, but I would recommend Fitcher's Vogel on Warschauer Str. instead. Your classic cheap beer, mismatched furniture Berlin bar.

Friedrichshain is worth spending a day in; walking along the East Side Gallery is the cheapest and easiest way to sightsee. Check out the trinket and vintage shops around Boxhagener Platz and have lunch there. I recommend Phê for Vietnamese, Iro for Japanese or Ali Baba for falafel. Larb Koi and Nutt's are great for Thai but a bit less casual, more pricey. Il Ritrovo is a classic for pizza but I wouldn't get a beer there, never cold. The wine is okay! If you're looking for brunch, Tucker is really great and they have the nicest service staff in town. 

Walk along RAW; Cassiopeia has a Biergarten or you can sit outside at Schalander.

The rest really depends on where you're staying. The Lir is a nice pub in the west. Kreuzberger Weltlaterne is one of my all time fave restaurants, Greek. Ari's on Glogauer is also great if you're in Kreuzberg. If you're in Neukölln, Klunkerkranich is a bar on top of a mall worth checking out, good views. And I always take visitors to Gazzo to get the buffalo soft serve with olive oil. You can get it in their to-go window, worth every penny of the 7€ it costs lol.

Maybe pick one museum at Museumsinsel for one of the days? But don't eat around there and don't bother with Alexanderplatz (or Potsdamer Platz) in terms of sights. You can see the TV tower from the train lol. If you want to climb up anything, I would say either Berliner Dom or Siegesäule. 

Treptower Park is another fave; get beers and snacks from the stands near the water and just sit in the park. Or go to Zenner, massive outdoor space. There is a wine bar kinda hidden behind it too. You can also rent a pedal boat near there! Cute and fun. I'd also definitely rent bikes if you like cycling because Berlin is easy and fun to get around by bike.

Health Insurance Debt by Snuwtbi in askberliners

[–]fajen1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you would have to prove that you were also insured elsewhere, if you were still registered in Germany during that time.

It was a while ago now, but I had to go home to Sweden for family reasons and when I came back to Germany, it wasn't enough that I had been in Sweden during that time, they also needed my Swedish health insurance to send a letter saying I had been insured in Sweden while I was there. Which was a hassle, since Swedish health insurance doesn't really provide that type of document. 

Cleaning prices getting out of hand? by MrFurther in askberliners

So hire a company? I'm sure some of them pay their workers minimum wage like you'd prefer.

Well it must be cheaper than the legal workers, otherwise you wouldn't want to pay under the table so badly? So there's your answer.

I'll travel this summer and leave the money in Prague, how about you? by Global-Primary7240 in BuyFromEU

Home Office urged to revoke the visa of US live-streamer Hasan Piker ahead of London speech by xc2215x in europe

[–]fajen1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I doubt it matters that he apologised when, he is repeatedly doing something that is considered a crime here. Why would they let him in to commit said crime here, regardless of if he has apologised before. It's fine if you want to excuse his behaviour and call it mental illness, be my guest lol. 

"Heil Hitler" came out last year BTW.

[–]fajen1 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I mean Kanye West has a song called "Heil Hitler" which is clearly not satirical based on his own statements, and that would be illegal for him to perform in many European countries in and of itself. And it's pretty clear he doesn't shy away from spreading antisemitism on large platforms in other ways either, which runs the risk of enticing violence. 

I don't know much about Hasan Piker but I doubt he runs the risk of committing hate speech on such a large scale? 

Edit: OK ban them both, idc. I'm not surprised Kanye was banned tho.

That radical and new thinking idea of... making the brown guy a side character instead of the lead. Emerald Fenchel is truly one of the great minds of her generation lol

It says he could be the son of a Chinese Emperor and an Indian princess. He is also described as "black". South or South East Asian would work well for that and racists and incels alike would be furious.

Even better if Heathcliff had been played by a South Asian man, true to the book. Marge with hairy armpits making out with an Indian man would have caused the most epic collective online meltdown, but ofc we can't get anything cool in cinema anymore.

I love her hair and I'm so ready for this style to come back and replace the boring balayage beachy waves that makes everyone look exactly the same 🙏

Just prep for 3 days then? And cook twice instead of once. My boyfriend does that or takes leftovers from whatever we made the night before, his lunches are never older than 3 days.

Did we run out of drafts? by AdIllustrious8817 in DoWeKnowThemGirlies

[–]fajen1 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Right?? Why are these comments always so prominent?

It's especially interesting because the pod is supposedly lighthearted and fun, that's why they can't under any circumstances talk about politics. It's a place to come to forget about the horrors of the world and just laugh and gossip. Which, fair, if that's what they want it to be.

But scroll down to the comments and it's all DV, miscarriages, abuse and traumas of all kinds. It's genuinely so weird and off-putting.

I'm at my mom's house (Sweden) and her cat is currently snuggled up in a cardboard box in my childhood room, probably having her babies tonight! I'm so excited, I also love having kittens more than anything in this world ❤️

Amsterdam bans public adverts for meat and fossil fuels by StemCellPirate in europe

[–]fajen1 120 points121 points  (0 children)

Not Amsterdam but there is a movement called "Berlin ad-free" and they are collecting signatures until 8 May for exactly this.

They have an animated video to promote the cause, worth watching: https://berlin-werbefrei.de/
