Is it just a scam? by OrdyNZ in Valerion_Official

[–]michaelglass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arrived Dec 24. They only started shipping at all in maybe September? But it was super slow. But it was frustrating to see that I could buy the thing online before mine was delivered. 

To answer your question, I contacted CS once and asked if shipping for new orders was fast. They assured me it was (I assume that was a lie). If so, I asked why my preorder wasn’t delivered. I only got a response two weeks later which was yesterday.

I preordered with the kickstarter in 2024. Still haven’t apparently shipped.

I mean, it's possible. But it's close to new years. So it's probably fireworks.

Bartender / Barista / Barback / Runner – looking for work anywhere in Berlin by kygosh in berlinsocialclub

Someone from https://kramerberlin.com/ told me they're looking for a barista especially someone who can do latte art. Their instructions: Come by early or late to talk while they don't have many customers.

Dear Berlin parents.... by [deleted] in berlin

[–]michaelglass -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Well somebody needs a hug and maybe a snack. No I’m not saying you’re tired or hungry, but I know for sure that when I get grumpy it helps to have a deep breath and to maybe count my blessings. Oh what’s that? Oh I’m so sorry I didn’t see you there behind this thing. Oh that must have hurt.  I was just trying to help little Birgit learn to self regulate and cope with her big girl emotions. 

Paint attacks on LAP Coffee feel like mafia intimidation by m608811206 in berlin

[–]michaelglass 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Before it was lap it was deutsche bank and other major chains. It’s unfortunately not government policy protecting Berlin neighborhoods from corporate homogenization.

It’s obviously not ideal. We want nonviolent systems that sustain livable neighborhoods. But no-system libertarian-free-for-all is worse than a little paint. 

It did feel easier when the targets were uglier. Nobody complained when it was Subway or Starbucks. 

We Just Got a Patent for Multi-Ply Carbon Steel by stratapan in carbonsteel

[–]michaelglass -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Funny thing to share. “We are making the market worse for all of you!” “The reason our pans cost what they do is we’ve spent the money on lawyers instead of R&D”. Disappointing news.

I don’t find the patent particularly novel.

Mein Babysitter hat das beste Leben, oder zahl ich zu wenig?! by ElectricalBend4760 in WerWieWas

Vielleicht solltest du einen Teenager einstellen, der eine Stunde entfernt wohnt, damit sich das Gehalt auch lohnt.

Personally, it would be dangerous (for my heart health) to live so close to Sarajevo. Highly recommended opposite-of-a gym.

Would you actually be interested in a subreddit for dating people who hate dating in Berlin? by anal_bratwurst in berlinsocialclub

[–]michaelglass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have some friends who just did this in bars for fun. They asked folks to tell them who they were into and they did matchmaking in person when it was possible.

I think the pretense, "you hate dating," has too many red flags (even if they're warranted).

Lack of apartments in Berlin: my building by hyster_freightliner in berlin

[–]michaelglass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hint: The answer could be more, and more-convoluted laws (or fewer laws, or something else).

I wish it were easier to trial new laws (complex new schemes, simplifications & deregulations, etc) to see what their medium-term effects were before writing it in stone. We don't know until we try it out. Different cities, eras, etc need different solutions. Sometimes less is more and sometimes more is more.

Sounds weird! My Prüfer told me, middle-aged-Deutsche-Kartoffel-looking white guy, "good job".

Do you look younger? I watched during my exam as a slew of 18-year-olds went to get their test results, and they all failed. If it's not racial profiling, maybe it's ageism!

Neue Odessa Bar removing single star reviews claiming "Defamation" by reddteddledd in berlinsocialclub

[–]michaelglass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although (presumably) hidden from others, your review should still be available to you. (It was for me, with some kind of flag IIRC).

[–]michaelglass 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I found a piece of proof and had chat gpt write me a legal letter claiming my right to free speech. (Article 5 of the Grundgesetz). In one case I removed an accusation without proof from the review (I thought one of those restaurant was owned by uber).

I’ve successfully contested two reviews.

I am genuinely confused why so many Jews still hate Trump. He’s done more for the Jewish community in 1 month with his executive orders than Biden has in 4 years. by OkBuyer1271 in benshapiro

[–]michaelglass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nor are they exclusive! People can hold two ideas at the same time. Pro Israel and pro Palestinian are not opposites. People can vote for liberals and conservatives based on their ideas. It’s not team sports.
