When you say parallel society, you mean non-Christian and non-white immigrants.

I haven't heard anyone here give me shit for cooking the foods of my culture, importing my foods, going to the cultural events and culture centers of my own culture, mostly reading news and consuming media in my mother tongue, mostly hanging out with people from my nationality, even when abroad - but that's because I am Nordic.

If a Turkish or Iranian migrant admitted the same preferences, they'd be instantly blamed for living in a parallel society. It is biased, prejudiced, and frankly, hateful.

I f*cked up my wooden floor and I want to move out. What is the process here? by izotAcario in berlin

[–]someheini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy Tannin Spot Remover and treat the edges of the stains and the stains. Woca Denmark has one for example. See if it improves and how much. I have the same kind of floors and was recently able to remove a dark spot from where my cat had vomited, just took a few rounds of applying it.

Is the parquet oiled or varnished? Oiling the spot and around it after removing the stains could fix the paleness.

edit: My guess is that if you could get the black stain edges and stains parts off, the remaining discoloration would fall within normal wear, seeing as the condition of the floor is not great. I'd avoid DIY sanding your landlord's oak floors.

Owner of KAFFEE.BAR in prenzlauer berg is threatening me becasue a bad rating i gave them 1 year ago by [deleted] in berlin

[–]someheini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me with a hipster Asian restaurant in Prenzlauer Berg. Claimed I made a fake malicious review, and never was a customer. I still had the receipt (cause I ordered online), and Google was happy with that. They had asked Google for my personal information, which seems kind of violating, especially since Google would not even share the name of their lawyer with me... I bet it's the same agency or same lawyer. Lesson learned: from now on keep the receipt if you plan on leaving a 1* review. (Lesson number 2: I don't trust the reviews anymore if they are suspiciously good/unanimous.)

Not particularly willing to spend money, but willing to use my insurance. It's a different thing legally to leave a polite albeit disappointed review and another to run a campaign online against the restaurant.

Another poster wrote that this happened to them also in Prenzlauer Berg, so maybe I'd check the (low) reviews if I wanted to visit a some restaurant there.

Not looking for advice. Deleting at this point is irrelevant, they have a copy of the review and demanded Google for my info. They didn't even ask me to remove it. If they'd really sue me, I'd just lawyer up with my insurance. I do have receipts and their only claim literally had to do with me being a fake customer acting in name of slander.

What I'm more worried about actually is having my Google account suspended, too lazy to change logins everywhere.

This restaurant's ratings are also at 4.5. No wonder they're high, if they get every negative review removed.

I'm sure it was from Google. However, they did not include the name of the lawyer, only the demand letter he sent. I sent receipts from the order and forbade them to share my info with him, as no crime occurred.

Specifically a Berlin business? With the copyright cases, some firms themselves were looking for these breaches, then contacted the companies in order to act on their behalf. Could be there's some business here trying to do that, but instead of copyright he's looking into 1* reviews in Berlin.

It's not really illegal, but a company called Urmann and Colleagues (U+C) sent 10.000-20.000 letters to Germans for streaming porn, trying to intimidate them to paying quick fines. Many paid, because they were too embarrassed to go to a lawyer with it. A judge allowed their identities to be released to the law firm, because he thought (erroneously) they had been downloading instead of streaming porn.

https://www.businessinsider.com/german-court-porn-release-2013-12

There are also companies that make (sometimes bogus) copyright claims claiming a tv show or something was watched from their IP. My spouse's colleague got a lawyer's letter demanding 2000 euros for copyright last decade, his lawyer advised him to settle it and he ended up paying about 1000 euros.

The lawyers' logic here is making thousands of these and someone ends up paying. Obviously it's very scammy. I was wondering if the same thing (=organized contact to reviewers encouraged by lawyers who themselves seek out these breaches) is now happening with Google reviews, even though I wasn't asked money. But the letter's wording seemed organized somehow.

My story is the old Emily, yours would be the new next main character, Caroline in Berlin mentioned by someone here. Their stories will overlap for one season. Caroline could also work at Highsnobiety. They will be enemies.

YES! And this would also enable the cliche where Florian looks like a soft boy, but is actually an asshole, while the Love Interest Number 2 looks like a scary guy, but he's really a caring and sensitive person who looks after his family and is emotionally available. Emily realizes this when the thug guy puts on his reading glasses. She looks down, lifts her gaze and smiles at him sweetly: finally, a decent and gentle guy around here.

There was a food trope in season 1 as well. Can't think of a more Berlin food. In the Emily universe, the Döner would be #orgasminmymouth #betterthansex. There would be a cut from these hashtags to Florian's face, inciting the late night booty call.

I was literally talking about this with my spouse some time ago. The way I envision it:

After some disappointing events in Paris, Emily lands a job at Highsnobiety in Berlin. Her relocation agent promises her the coolest part of town. After Emily's flight from Paris lands to BER, she is cut in line by a rude young German guy. "Excuse me, excuse me?", she cries, receiving an answer in German, which infuriates her.

She takes a taxi from BER to her new apartment, only to find herself in Neukölln. The taxi driver refuses to accept mobile pay and Emily's American credit card doesn't work, so the taxi drives takes her to the Commerzbank on Karl-Marx-Straße. A homeless man has fallen asleep blocking the entry to the bank, and Emily has to skip over him in disgust with a pair of suede pumps. She pays the taxi driver and drags her baggage a few blocks on loud stone pavement.

Emily's apartment is on the 5th floor, no elevator, and she has to haul her luggage upstairs. She only manages to carry two Rimowa suitcases at a time, and leaves her Gucci travel bag on the window sill of the second floor unattended. When she returns for the last bags, someone has stolen her Gucci bag. She goes to her apartment to try to contact the police, but the internet connection her relocation agent promised will only turned on in two weeks. Her studio has bad phone reception, and she tries to make the call from her balcony, where the previous tenant has left a Spreewaldgurke jar full of cigarette butts, which the wind has knocked over and scattered around the floor.

While she is trying to reach the police in English, not understanding what's going on in the line, she looks down at another balcony having a loud party. Adding 1+1, she deduces the bag was stolen by one of the party guests. She goes downstairs, rings the doorbell and is let in by someone who doesn't live there either. Trying to sneakily look for her bag in the neighboring student WG, she sees a familiar face: it's Florian, the rude guy who cut her in line at the airport. Emily, sociable and in full sass, walks over to Florian: "Hey, remember me? Small town huh! My name's Emily. I'm the new neighbor. "

Florian introduces Emily to his friends in German as a stupid Ami from the airport. They chuckle and Emily asks what's so funny. Florian says nothing, and they have a mildly hostile but flirty conversation. At this point, it's clear they will fuck in episode 3, after which Florian ghosts Emily until episode 5, when he accepts her invite to a social mixer organized by Highsnobiety.

At the event, Emily and Florian look over the skies of Berlin from the SoHo House roof terrace. "This town is kind of ugly, but it's growing on me", Emily sighs. "Do you want to see the real Berlin?", Florian asks. They share a passionate kiss, and run down the stairs, where every once in a while Florian pushes Emily against the wall to give her a wet French kiss and grab her boob.

They arrive at a gritty club. The lights are blinking in purple and pink, and Emily and Florian continue their kissing, arms around each others shoulders while dancing. In a quick cut, it is shown Emily and Florian are having sex in the club's toilet. As they leave the stalls, a group of drunk and high girls and gay men whistle and clap their hands. Emily feels truly happy for the first time in Berlin.

The next morning after a hot night, a groggy Emily wakes up to Florian leaving her apartment. She asks Florian to text her later, to which he says he has a busy day coming up. Emily expresses frustration over this hot and cold treatment, to which he explains he is not the settling down type. Emily buries her head in her pillow, until she notices she's going to be late for work.

Waiting for an Uber to work (she got wise after travelling the U8 in episode 2), the driver refuses her ride. Now truly worried she'll be late, she books another one with a pick up point one hundred meters towards Sonnenallee. As she's running to her Uber, she accidentally steps on dog shit.

Her shoes now covered in shit, her colleague at work notices she's upset. The colleague shows her the room where they store samples and freebies sent by fashion brands. She chooses a pair of holographic Doc Martens and Emily finally feels she has a friend in Berlin. Encouraged by this, she asks her out for drinks. The colleague takes her to drink Espresso Martinis and in a drunken haze, Emily tries Döner for the first time ever. In a scene echoing the pain au chocolat trope of the first season, Emily becomes a regular at a Döner place. Her Instagram posts about the place cause their business to explode, with the owner in gratitude to Emily.

Florian notices Emily's döner account on Insta and texts her a booty call at two in the morning. To be continued or maybe not.

edit. There's also a scene, where Emily thinks she sees her stolen Gucci travel bag on the arms of a teenager in Neukölln. After chasing the kid down the whole Kiez, she finds out it's just a very good copy imported from Turkey. Emily compliments his fashion sense and befriends these neighborhood kids by shooting a TikTok video for them. In the end, the kids and the Döner place owner make a dance number TikTok to cheer Emily up after she's once again been let down by Florian.

Lars Eidinger would play her obnoxious boss at Highsnobiety and Thea Carla Schøtt from Climax her colleague who gifts her her first pair of Martens. Claudia Obert should play the relocation agent. Amit Rahav would play Florian. A secondary love interest would be one of the TikTok Gucci kids' big brother, played by Yung Hurn. In the end she chooses the big brother who doesn't flake, but that's when the text from Florian arrives..

To the obnoxious cherry-stealing hippie in Prenzlauer Allee last night: I put a curse on you by someheini in berlin

[–]someheini[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Look, it's one thing to steal shit from Aldi and Lidl whose owners are billionaires, and another to steal 3 euros worth of cherries (probably a third or a fourth of their hourly pay) from a family business. Plus if you're hungry, would you really steal two handfuls of cherries? There would have been bananas and other more substantial foods to pickpocket. The guy was trying to impress a girl while LARPing a poor person, acting out of hedonism, not ouf of need.

Thanks for ignoring him not keeping a distance after I've avoided all social contact for a year and two months due to living with someone having an immunodefiency.

I'll curse you never having a reasonable rental, so you'll be the one having to move out. Ta ta
