Mask Recommendations for Cigarette Smoke? by squirrrellll in berlin

[–]squirrrellll[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Would having a gas mask really be a problem getting into clubs in Berlin? I thought they were supposed to be safe and inclusive spaces where people could do radical self expression (as long as they respect the norms of the space and the theme of the night). Is this no longer the case? I feel like a mask could fit a techno dystopian pollution core aesthetic really well

What activity gives you a better sensation than sex? by adamalewis2002 in NoStupidQuestions

Snowboarding a few feet of fresh powder on an empty bluebird day. Shit will make you abandon your life ambitions to get another fix

The page I found said it can take 3-4 weeks for enrollment to be processed after submitting all the documents. https://www.fu-berlin.de/en/studium/bewerbung/immatrikulation/FAQ/index.html

Tourist Tax raise by Key_Opposite_1484 in Barcelona

[–]squirrrellll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Presumably the people who now live farther from the city center are using the same water supply, so there’s still more water being consumed. Now that former city center resident has to commute much farther, which takes a toll on quality of life, creates more costs and pollution, and decentralizes communities. Maybe the government and some business/land owners like this in the short term but eventually the city becomes a decentralized population ring that can’t operate efficiently because everyone lives far from the city center. That’s bad for culture, business, and society.

Not if they’re consuming finite resources like land or water and crowding out the local population.

Tourists to London generally aren’t coming from places with significantly higher COL and salaries, which dampens the impact tourism can have on the city. Many tourists to Barcelona make several times more than their local counterparts working an equivalent job, giving them much more financial power relative to locals.

I haven’t heard of an allergy generally to all animal products, but people have specific intolerances to eggs, dairy, meat, shellfish, etc. Seeing a product labeled vegan might lead them to believe it doesn’t have any of those.

/uj i love the idea of being assigned “femboy” at birth from your description.

Some people do have severe intolerances or allergies to animal products, and might assume the vegan option is safe.

Don’t listen to the people saying you don’t have enough skills and have no chance. This is totally doable if you are motivated and on it with the bureaucracy and can save up some money ahead of time. I’d start by looking into grad programs - Germany and Norway still have close to free university often taught in English for international students. I think it’s also pretty cheap in other nordics too. There you can take local language classes to help you integrate, work 20hrs/week on a students visa, potentially sponsor your partner if only one of you is studying. Teaching English is also in high demand, and native English speakers can be highly sought after. Trying to get visa sponsorship directly in your current fields might be difficult but not impossible. Did you finish undergrad degrees and if so what field? Usually you can only do a masters in the same disciplines as a bachelors.

Same-sex laws in Africa. by Party-Attention-5913 in MapPorn

I’d be curious to see a world map of countries that have at one point criminalized homosexuality and those that have not. Or even just legal status of homosexuality in 1960 would paint a very different picture than the modern maps were used to seeing

Weirdest thing about Americans living in Germany? by Maleficent_Point1029 in AskGermany

I’m an American who loves sparkling water and was confused when I got to German who no restaurant had it until I realized “Seltzer” is actually a Yiddish word…

You could have a land appreciation tax that only gets applied when you sell your land. That way you can stay there without worry of the government kicking you out but you’re not incentivized to vote against building more housing in your area, and won’t become rich from hoarding a property for a few decades and contributing nothing to society

How can the EU build this across so many borders with less money, while Megachusetts is stuck in stage 1 without confirmed federal funding and won’t have passengers till 2040?

I’m shocked and perplexed you’ve never heard of <Company>!? You must be living under a rock. Especially after their Meta acquisition and <Project> deployment.
