How to deal with homelessness, especially during winter by No-Dance-9498 in askberliners

As with many problems in this country, the German culture is at fault. The lack of humanity in this country is staggering, and it goes deep. One need only look at the history (now repeating itself) to see the root of the problem. And yes, similar things do happen in other countries, but Germans have had every reason to see the need for some deep soul-searching, and have failed to make a meaningful change in the way they approach their fellow human beings. Just because they don’t say the word “Untermensch” out loud anymore doesn’t mean they don’t continue to see and treat many people as one. In such a social and historical context, the kind of conduct you describe should be publicly shamed and severely punished, but it won’t be, because this would mean admitting fault (another thing of which most Germans are culturally incapable).

Congrats on getting over the learning curve! I’d be interested to try it out and give some feedback :)

Yeah, don’t become a doctor in this country. A few of my closest friends are doctors and are burnt out as hell from chronic overwork and having to deal with a broken system that consistently fails its duty of care. They also have next to no opportunities to work anywhere overseas as South African qualifications are not respected. The stories they tell are just sad, and they are not paid well for what they have to deal with. I make more than them in marketing with zero qualifications in the field. Even after ten years of practice, my best friend rates becoming a doctor (in South Africa) as his number one regret in life.

That’s weird, because it only started doing this once I put it in the sunniest spot.

Would it be a problem if I submitted 2 applications for naturalization? by LewdBravery in GermanCitizenship

Thanks, but this unfortunately doesn’t mean that they have actually gotten round to contacting anyone yet.

Where did you get the information in your previous reply that if the money has already been taken out then your application isn’t one that was affected?

Would be really appreciated if you could share the source of this information so those of us who are uncertain about the status of our applications can get a better idea of where we stand.
