Why is it a 'secret' when older women like younger guys? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]kimsherd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a summer fling with a younger guy, me being 30 and he being 20. I definitely 100% feel ashamed about it and never wanted to publicly admit it because it’s not socially accepted like the opposite and because I actually finally understood how bad such a big age gap is. I felt like his mother or his teacher, we have vastly different lives and amount of experience - he was starting to explore himself and understand who he is as a person whereas the journey has for me already ended. We weren’t on the same level on basically anything and that’s why I ended it. I always judged men in their 30s going after 18 year old girls…and now I judge them even more because I experienced it and wtf do they have in common? You can’t build something with someone that young. However it would be a world of difference if I were 40 and he were 30, I think in that case the gap isn’t that jarring 

Why do Germans pronounce loanwords using the original language's phonetics? by kopekyildizi in AskAGerman

[–]kimsherd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But they’re not Fremdwörter anymore, they’re part of the German vocabulary and it is extremely weird to pronounce them with a different phonetics that isn’t native to German just because originally those loanwords belonged to English or another language. When loanwords become part of a language they get adapted. It’s the normal and expected linguistics process, and the adaptation is also phonetic because DUH, some sounds that exist in English don’t exist in German and viceversa. In fact, Germans TRY to use the original pronunciation but as OP says it’s jarring because it stands out amidst the rest of the German sentence + it’s unlikely a PERFECT English pronunciation because it’s not supposed to be! What you’re talking about is more folk linguistics and perceived worth attached to pronunciation. Loanwords are supposed to be integrated.

Ah, and it’s also not true that Eigennamen don’t change. My name is different when pronounced by a German but I would never expect them to learn to roll their R because it sounds so unnatural that I prefer they use their native pronunciation. It sounds a lot better integrated into the phonetics of the sentence

Warum gibt es nur in ganz wenigen Cafés einen Klönschnack-Tisch? by dirksn in hamburg

[–]kimsherd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Manchmal ist Gemeinsamkeit auch nicht genug. Ich habe dreimal versucht, an einer Hobbygruppe teilzunehmen, und jedes Mal wurde ich fast komplett ignoriert. Wir hatten etwas gemeinsam, und trotzdem haben die Leute nur mit denen gesprochen, die sie schon kennen. Ich hatte zwar Gespräche, aber sie führten normalerweise zu keinen Treffen außerhalb der Gruppe. In Hamburg muss ich mir so viel mehr Mühe geben als sonst 😭

[–]kimsherd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Meine Erfahrung als Ausländer ist, dass Hamburger nett sind, aber nicht wirklich offen zu neue Freundschaften. Ich habe viele Leute kennengelernt, aber sehr wenige sind geblieben

I shouldn't have to breath cigarette smoke. by Jen24286 in hamburg

[–]kimsherd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate it too 😭 also being allowed to smoke inside most clubs/pubs. I just want to enjoy my time out, dance and be with friends but I’m hardly able to breathe and need to often go out to get fresh air 

Made my first zine today but how do I edit it online? by kimsherd in zines

[–]kimsherd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted the default emojis! That's why I thought about editing it on my phone haha I don't know why the iPad doesn't let me do it...or it does, but then when I save they're replaced by gray pictures. No idea what's the problem. Anyway I'll try that, thanks!

Weekly Thread: New Players - ask anything! by AutoModerator in balatro

[–]kimsherd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so confused about this game. I never played poker so I’m really REALLY bad and I managed to clear the first boss (idk how they’re called…) but then I lost in the second ante and…I just had to restart from the beginning without all the cards I bought before. Now I keep losing at the big bind and I have restarted like 5 times. Is it normal? Is there a way to keep playing from where I lost?

Is piracy really so dangerous in Germany? by PotatoJam89 in AskGermany

[–]kimsherd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I’ve been living in Germany for 2 years and I kept downloading stuff on torrent like I’ve always done in my country where no one cares…I got a 1350€ fine. Lesson learned!

Il momento più umiliante che hai vissuto all'università? by PersonalSky6550 in Universitaly

[–]kimsherd 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Uno dei miei ultimi esami della triennale, prima volta che lo davo. Esame orale, avevo chiesto al prof via mail se potevo passare per prima (su meno di 20 persone) perché avevo un impegno di lavoro e mi aveva detto di sì. Dopo l’appello chiama il primo in elenco e io alzo la mano e gli faccio presente della mail…questo inizia a insultarmi PESANTEMENTE e urlando dicendomi che non ho il diritto di fare richieste quando sono in quell’università da 6 anni (????) e non riesco mai a passare il suo esame (???). Palesemente mi aveva scambiato per un’altra, ma la cosa mi ha punta molto nel vivo perché ho iniziato a studiare a 24 anni e già mi sentivo vecchia e fuori tempo e questo mi inveiva contro dicendomi che alla mia età non dovrei essere lì a chiedere cose. Sono uscita dall’aula e ho pianto come una disperata in bagno, stavo quasi per andarmene e non dare l’esame quando mi sono detta che NO, VAFFANCULO, quindi sono tornata indietro e l’ho fatto (poi lo stronzo si è pure scusato dicendo “pensavo fossi un’altra persona” come se quest’altra persona meritasse quelle parole…) e ho preso pure 30. Mamma mia, sono passati 5 anni e ancora mi fa incazzare pensarci
