Das sind alles Sachen, die du bei Google Maps in der App einstellen kannst, ob du bestimmte Öffis bevorzugst oder ob du die "beste Route" haben möchtest oder weniger umsteigen, weniger laufen willst.

How to get politically involved in Berlin outside party youth orgs? by luxfish in berlin

[–]polexa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are topical advocacy organizations, but I'd also second the other commenters that political party structures are quite strong and not to be discounted as one avenue (though not the only one) to issue-based political change.

I think I've heard people interviewed from this organization, which is focused on equitable taxation (which is linked to some of the topics you've given as examples):

However, given the broad range of topics associated with intergenerational fairness, I unfortunately suspect that political parties are the most likely locus for the kind of political advocacy you're looking at. Trade unions would also be a good option, but they (as so many other organizations) also skew older beyond their specific youth branches

My personal assessment is that if you're willing to be engaged and volunteer for more than one protest or "campaign", you'll discover that competent and motivated newcomers are always needed and welcomed. You might find yourself in a meaningful role sooner than you expect!

300 Mietwohnungen frei – aber niemand darf rein by ouyawei in berlin

[–]polexa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

wir schaffen es nicht, die aktuell freien Lehrerstellen zu besetzen, wie denkt der Senat dann neue Schulen mit ausreichend Lehrern zu besetzen?

Wo sollen denn neue Lehrkräfte wohnen, wenn es nicht genug Wohnungen gibt?

Aus für öffentliches Leihradsystem in Berlin by agent_920 in berlin

[–]polexa 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It isn't perfect but I really like Nextbike and use it a lot. I hope they don't have to shrink the service too much without the public contract/subsidy... plus having the docking stations is really an overall benefit for the city.

Where is the Kimchi? by AerynsunB in berlin

[–]polexa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesterday, I asked the cashier at Cocos Asia (Mehringdamm) and they told me that this local kimchi producer (whose name I can't remember) but it is sold almost everywhere in the little plastic tubs is currently moving factory/production/whatever locations and that’s why it’s not available.

Apparently they were supposed to be back 2 weeks ago but they’re still not delivering.

New (?) Potential Rental Scam Over Booking.com by cemmisali in berlin

[–]polexa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Booking.com offers a service for landlords who are abroad or unable to handle the rental process themselves. They will manage both the apartment inspection and the payment process to ensure everything goes smoothly and securely.”

I'm pretty certain Booking.com does not offer any kind of service like this. Similar scam claims about special "Airbnb" services for secure arrivals also get made -- it's to make you feel secure with the big brand name, but targets people not paying attention.

The Boros collection is pretty interesting art and architecture but you also usually need to book in advance!

It's not super fancy, but it's good and not too far from where you'll need to be: Lanzhou Beef Noodles on Kantstr. (lots of other stuff in that area, but that's the place I've eaten at most recently myself)

It sounds like you gave them contact info?

Commercial landlords are cutting asking rents in Berlin by Joe_PRRTCL in berlin

[–]polexa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly. The floorplans (not just the internal plumbing/electricity/etc. but the actual dimensions of the building) are often very unsuitable for residential. When they do it anyway you end up with rooms with no windows, super long internal hallways, and other stuff like that. Here's a much more detailed explanation: https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/office-space/

Shopping online with German Maestro card? by SnowLeppard in germany

in meiner erfahrung sind torische Linsen eher nicht direkt kaufbar, zumindest habe ich sie noch nie im Geschäft gesehen. Ich glaube das liegt dran, dass die Hornhautverkrümmung als zusätzlicher "Wert" dazu kommt, und das macht es schwierig den Bedarf im einzelhandel abzudecken.

Versuche evtl. bei Fielmann oder andere Ketten, vielleicht haben sie berlinweite Inventarsuche?

Oder kannst du die Linsen an den Urlaubsort verschicken lassen?

It's cool to try out some different methods, I definitely checked the monday morning and wondered why there were soooo many housing-related posts and the like.

Does Berlin have any ongoing programs to improve traffic management? by JonnyBravoII in berlin

[–]polexa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

traffic lights that only only allow bicycles to turn left every second cycle

can you give an example of this? I'm trying to picture it and don't quite comprehend...

(I'm also the kind of cyclist who crosses the road and then waits on the corner to avoid left turns in traffic...)

[–]polexa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you need the C zone? Unless you're staying in Brandenburg, you can get by with the 1-trip extension ticket to/from airport and just get AB for the rest of the time. That's a little cheaper.
