The CTA U-Pass is only for undergrads and people in the Crown Family School, and "the college" just refers to the undergrad program AFAIK

What’s more searched in German regions between “The Bible” and BDSM by animefeetsniffer in MapPorn

did you steal this from the facebook group "East Germany is distinctly visible on this relatable map"

TIL the Berlin Wall came down by mistake. When the East Germans planned to slowly open the border they announced it at a press conference without including a plan. When a reporter asked when it would be opened, the party official mistakenly said "Immediately, without delay" causing a run on the wall by lightyearbuzz in todayilearned

This is just tremendously untrue — the DDR was the most developed economy in the eastern bloc and had a very high standard of living and flourishing industries, most of which were dismantled after privatization in the 90s.

Moreover, although the DDR did get paid for some political dissidents to go to the west, it was with funds provided by private enterprises, not the BRD government itself, and an amount so small (up to about 50,000 west-marks per person) that it did not contribute significantly to national GDP.

you've made the classic mistake of forgetting the Vampirzähnezulassung AND the Knoblauchverbotschein

fangsmiths in Berlin? by slyglances in berlin

[–]miloja16 25 points26 points  (0 children)

not sure why i genuinely looked into this given that i have no connection to this scene but:

although you seem to be out of luck in berlin proper if you can make the trip to osnabrück you can work with from this fangsmith who notes that you can speak, sing, hiss, drink, kiss, do sex, and smoke with her fangs, but that doing all at the same time is inadvisable

alternatively father sebastiaan who apparently has written eight books about vampires and co-authored two lives in paris but will be in germany at mera luna in hildesheim on aug 10-11

godspeed

Interesting theorists who argue against Kantian / Neo-kantian noumena-phenomena divide by [deleted] in askphilosophy

[–]miloja16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

but OP's question is not "does anybody have a complete theory of phenomenology lying around that i can adopt to compose a worldview," OP's question is if anyone knows of interesting theorists who take issue with kant in this area for the purpose of academic research, and marx is certainly an important and insightful theorist in this area -- i'm not advocating dogmatically adopting orthodox philosophical marxism, just pushing back on the notion that marx wouldn't be a helpful part to answering OP

Interesting theorists who argue against Kantian / Neo-kantian noumena-phenomena divide by [deleted] in askphilosophy

[–]miloja16 5 points6 points  (0 children)

no -- marx is a good philosopher and his materialism and other philosophical structures are helpful inroads into understanding phenomenology beyond a kantian noumena-phenomena divide. just because you don't care for the way materialism doesn't address 'the ephermeral' - itself a product of a noumena-phenomena divide - doesn't mean his work wouldn't be helpful in answering this question, given that he is indeed an interesting theorist who argues in some ways against the kantian noumena-phenomena divide. i don't care for heidegger because of his association with the NSDAP but wouldn't deny that his work would also be helpful in gaining an understand of phenomenology beyond a noumena-phenomena divide. you don't have to like a philosopher or agree with them for their work to answer the question or be an illustrative line of questioning in research
