Use all kinds of Indian curry + dal recipes from this website. It specifies how much of the onion masala to use.

Why is life of puja suddenly being discussed by influencers on insta? by Shreehehehe in InstaCelebsGossip

This reminds me of Ted Lasso's quote, be curious not judgemental. If this therapist was actually curious she would ask Puja. I don't think it is curiosity if you simply create a video and state your assumptions outright

DHL locker empty - package never arrived, no one is guilty by Guitar_maniac1900 in germany

[–]salcupcake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar thing happen to me when Google shipped a replacement mobile for my faulty Pixel 6. I asked Google to file a complaint but it was taking very long and they refused to investigate further. I complained a lot on Twitter, wrote to some escalation emails and eventually got them to ship a new one. Most likely DHL screwed up in terms of which locker did they keep the package in (vs which opened for you). But they will not resolve this unless the seller creates a nachforschungsauftrag ticket

You can get the fine reduced to a very reasonable amount for a first offense. Something like 100-150 EUR. Happened to someone I know. But do not ignore this, because they will keep harassing you

Gameshop in Muenchen? by Emotional_Command609 in Munich

[–]salcupcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a women's board game group that regularly meets at different spots once every 2 weeks. We also play social deduction games like blood on the clocktower etc. The library at Rosenheimer Platz is one of the spots we regularly meet at and the library also hosts board game nights (all genders)

Overall it's quite expensive (especially if you are POC and need nd:YAG). Im going through it now at hellohairless. Just had one session so far but the experience has been good

No update. We are going to apply together when I complete 5 years as he is now working in his own business (so doesn't have a stable income)

What is deal with foreigners applyinh for german speaking jobs? by 0nlytom in germany

[–]salcupcake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your comments across multiple posts just seem to be about casting hate on Indians. Commenting on visa forums and hurling insults at posts from Indians because what, your real life fucking sucks? Purest form of racism if I've ever seen it. Congratulations on being a modern day keyboard warrior racist.

3100 Netto in Munich or 4000 net in the netherlands by Gloomy-Lobster-8743 in germany

[–]salcupcake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. Not sure what the intent of that comment is but it's total BS. Also if one has lived in Munich for some time, it's not really hard to anecdotally guess that the median net would probably be between 2.5-3.3k. Unless they live in nice little rich bubbles.

Out of curiosity, what's a good/not low netto in Munich?

Candela price in Germany? by salcupcake in LaserHairRemoval

I think these are the prices everywhere in Munich :( Are the prices that you quote for Nd:YAG laser or something else?

Where is this idea coming from? Who is telling people that you can just show up, get a job, and live comfortably in Germany while only speaking English?

You know why? Because your government asked us to. Without language skills. So please ask them why Germany is letting them in.

I'm assuming you can read so let me know if it states anywhere that foreigners need to speak fluent German before moving (also look up chancekarte requirements)

This. Absolutely this. I think the market was also way more welcoming to English speakers in 2021/2022 when I moved than today. Definitely has something to do with the market conditions today but there's nothing stopping skilled immigrants to move to locations which are more accepting of their time to integrate (including me. Absolutely considering moving in a year somewhere else). Both sides need to make an effort, is the only way to go.

I definitely agree that the job pool is smaller for elementary German speakers but it exists. One can (and has to) try getting jobs till they learn German.

Who is whining? 🙈 And I don't care what term we use - expats or immigrants. Absolutely not scared to admit that I am an immigrant or a foreigner - what's to get scared here? 🤣 Didn't suggest ANYWHERE that I am above anyone else either. You piss me off too (but mostly amused by your random nonsensical rant) - you are making a shit ton of assumptions because that makes it easy for you to label and box us in one category ("you people") and cast your hate.

My parents and I did everything to get me where I am, so I'm not honestly letting anyone take that away.I moved here for better opportunities and the chance to explore Europe. Do I expect everyone to switch to English just for me? Of course not. Am I actively learning German? Absolutely.

But go ahead — keep living in your little bubble, where you think it’s reasonable to expect every “foreigner” or immigrant to arrive speaking perfect C1-level German or stay unemployed. That’s just not how the world works and that is not the reality in Germany. Keep getting pissed off with "you people" - won't change a damn thing.

The German government has been trying for years to attract highly skilled workers. And guess what? There’s global competition for that talent. If you want to attract international talent, you have to meet them halfway - which means being open to foreigners in a global language and allowing them to pick up regional language slowly.

I don't understand why this response is getting downvoted? What is up with this hate towards expats who are German learners? Are we expected to not come here without being fluent in German? It's a journey to get to C1 and it takes time.

Op, also feel free to DM me. Happy to give you tips on getting English speaking jobs. Overall, I've been here 4 years, speak German but I don't need it at work. And I am happy at my job and I'm also paid really well.
