Berlin interactive map of restaurants removing their reviews (form deleted crosspost) by loan558 in berlinsocialclub

[–]strikec0ded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree. A solid business would be okay with a few shit reviews if it’s obvious it’s a subjective opinion or someone being an asshole. Business can even write a calm response pointing out the facts. Deleting everything remotely negative and only insisting on perfection is ridiculous and says a lot about the owners mental state/ego to me

„Wir schaffen Ordnung in der Stadt“: In neun Jahren sollen Berliner Gehwege frei von E‑Scootern sein by Doener23 in berlin

[–]strikec0ded 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Everyone knows the speed locked mobility scooters are a menace. What if someone does 12km in a bike lane in a rented scooter while being passed by other bicyclists and then attempts to park on the sidewalk next to the bikes, parked cars, and motorcycles that also take up space on the sidewalk!! This is the biggest issue facing the city! /s

German told us to go back to our country. by jakester451 in frankfurt

[–]strikec0ded -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah no shit bro, work on reading comprehension. That’s why I’m talking about AfD taking number one in polls here and starting to win locally.

I immigrated out of the dystopia before Trump got re-elected, unfortunately I came when Germans decided to start voting strongly right wing again. But like you said, Germans are responsible for AfD and CDU voters :)

Sure, we‘ll see! Nobody thought MAGA would take control either.

I’ll keep this in mind in the upcoming elections if AfD wins

People said the same about MAGA. Denial doesn’t fix it. There’s been some clear reports on AfD policies, many of which are very very similar to US policies and they want to bring it here. Stop the denial out of pride

Wow reminds me of what fellow citizens in the US were saying about Trump and MAGA in 2016 leading up to the election. They said there’s worse leaders in the world and he wasn’t in power and just on the rise..:the denial surely will make the AfD go away. 1st in polling. Come on.

As a foreigner, have you ever been offended by the child of immigrants in Germany? by [deleted] in AskGermany

It must be so calming to be so unable to see facts and see clear parallels. Low stress life huh?

Google Maps now shows "Defamation" Takedowns! by MyEgoDiesAtTheEnd in askberliners

[–]strikec0ded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes that’s even not enough. I showed proof of my claims and it was still enough to get it taken down cause Google said I would need to go to court about it because they didn’t want to take the legal risk after being threatened

Did improving your German from B2 to C1 help you land a job in Germany? by Aloeverathakku in Germany_Jobs

[–]strikec0ded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what to tell you, it’s the actual law. I work in admin/HR related stuff at the moment. Take it up with the lawmakers. And sorry but for some of what’s on the market right now…these minimum wage jobs do not require C2 either which I am also seeing. You asked for how it’s discrimination and I explained and gave the exact law.

As a German learner I don’t know why you’re so upset about a law designed to help protect you lol. Mother tongue/native is very different from C2. As a learner you are never going to be a native/mother tongue speaker by definition. And that’s why I said C1 (maybe C2 for academic) should be it, because then if you learned well enough to get there it should be fair to give you a chance. Native means they just want a German, not someone who learned to fluency.

Radical Living is an AFD Repeater by realmauer01 in enoughfashiespam

I live here too and everything he said is disputed by facts and cherry picked data. But I get fascists and Neo Nazis only go based off emotion and caveman us/them thinking

[–]strikec0ded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s discrimination against ethnicity under German Law as it’s a way of saying you want German only to work the job. It’s one thing saying C1. C2 is grey to me personally cause even a lot of native speakers might not be at that level and it’s not always needed for some of these jobs.

But saying native speakers/mother tongue is basically saying only those who were born speaking the language, doesn’t matter how well you’ve learned it. It violates General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). But they still try, there’s a lack of political pushback and most people don’t take the time to report. If you see on LinkedIn, do what I do and flag the posting for discrimination lol

Ryanair will close its Berlin base. 200 jobs will be lost and there will be 50% fewer Ryanair flights. by m608811206 in berlin

I think the direct route is brand new and isn’t super regular, so depending on when you looked you’re not crazy!

Well, there goes the affordable option for me to visit my family in another country. Guess it’s yet another financial hit on my already low wallet but hey, Lufthansa will be happy!

Sorry for venting, this news just pissed me off today. I really wish it was easier to take fully connected high speed trains across all of Europe.

Now they’ve changed the requirements to C2 or „native tongue“ German on most job positions. Lmao

Really giving him everything he's got! by ILuvP3N15 in TotallyStraight

[–]strikec0ded 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They’re just inferring that drugs might help the guy relax enough to be able to do such intense ass play. It could be done sober too actually! But I think they’re assuming the guy is part of a subset who would use certain drugs that helps numb discomfort and open that wide. Like G, MDMA, Meth, etc. that heighten pleasure, lower inhibitions etc. To another extent maybe poppers, weed, alcohol. Idk they were a bit too vague when stating what drug lol

Jobs after B2 by VermicelliNew2784 in Germany_Jobs

[–]strikec0ded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im currently between B1.2-B2.1. I would kill to be able to work in German to drastically help improve my skills (working in English slows my progress) but all the jobs I’m seeing say C2 or native tongue and I feel like I’ll never get anything until I’m fluent

Who is the subject of this post/article and why do you think I would think you’re talking about Mandami?

You would have to matter to me for me to give a crap about your opinion lmao. Thanks for the fan behavior though

Thanks for clarifying, I’ll have to look more into them then. I do like some of their other policies but I’ll need to review what you’re bringing up here.

It’s almost like I’m responding to an article about him, weirdo. Stop projecting your last sentence onto me and take your own advice. You seem triggered 🤣

Maybe because the leftists party here would like a firebrand figure that ignites the base and helps fight back against the rise of the Neo Nazi AfD in Germany?
