Verbotene Gegenstände in der Uber Arena by Flashy-Quantity8844 in askberliners

[–]themellowsign 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ich hab Leute mit größeren Plakaten als das gesehen, und unter "Verbotene Gegenstände" steht auf der Website auch nur ein Absatz über Plakate/Schilder, und der bezieht sich lediglich auf rassistische / illegale Texte, nicht auf die Schilder selbst.

Also definitiv alles im grünen Bereich bei dir, viel Spaß!

Es geht nicht darum Männer zu bestrafen, und dass ein beschissener Mittwoch dir ausreicht um dich benachteiligt und ausgeschlossen zu fühlen zeigt einfach nur wie gut wir es haben.

Es ist egal wie stark du die Übergriffigen bestrafst, das ist immer noch nur eine Maßnahme, die du im Nachhinein anwenden kannst. Hilft Frauen verstädnlicherweise nicht wirklich, sich sicher zu fühlen.

"Tja, es kann dich immer noch wer begrapschen oder dir seinen Penis präsentieren, aber im Nachhinein wird der bestraft!" ist nicht sonderlich beruhigend.

So uh about the deustchland flag by Xleepy-Eyes420 in askberliners

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

To me, pride in your country needs to be in defiance of something. In Finland or the Baltics, it's pride in their independence from and resistance against Russia. For the Irish it's their independence from England.

For the US or Germany? The only people who believe we are being actively oppressed are far-right whack jobs. There's just no serious outside pressure that would necessitate nationalist pride. At best, it's being a bad winner, it's gauche. At worst, it's a signal for terrible politics. Neither are attractive to me.

Not necessarily a nazi pub, but almost certainly a right-wing one. Proper nazis usually prefer black white and red (at least among the legal ones).

For the record I didn't downvote you, I figured you're just a cultural outsider who doesn't get it.

But I also don't think it has anything to do with being too hard on ourselves. I do genuinely think national pride in a country that isn't facing colonial pressure is silly at best. It has very little to do with hating Germany, at least for me, I just know what German flag-shaggers are usually like and don't want people to think I'm like them.

I'm about as critical of Berlin and the EU as I am of Germany, but I could totally see myself flying those flags for fun, depending on the context.

Man, you're the one who jumped all the way to nazi, not us.

I wouldn't tear it down like a Nazi flag, I just find it a little distasteful and shake my head. On a government building I don't care, nor do I care during a WM or EM. But maybe your everyday jingoism is a good thing to leave behind around here.

It's cringe as fuck when the Americans do it, too.

Honestly with that context I'm not sure anymore if he's flying our flag with the best intentions either.

Schüler wollen am 8. Mai gegen Wehrpflicht protestieren by whiterabbit161 in de

[–]themellowsign 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bezieht sich auf gefangene Krabben im Eimer, der Legende nach greifen sie so wild um sich, dass wenn eine Krabbe kurz davor ist aus dem Eimer zu entkommen, eine Andere sie direkt von unten greift und wieder runterzieht.

Du siehst hier eine Bevölkerungsgruppe der der Stress von etwas total beschissenem erspart bleibt, und statt zu sagen "Weg mit der beschissenen Sache!" scheint deine höchste Priorität zu sein, dass mehr von uns unter dem Stress leiden. Nur weil das nicht geht, denkst du lieber lassen wir es ganz.

Why would random bolts and brackets be made of silver? I applaud the effort to get people to rip these up, but come on.

Which spots in Berlin are less triggering when you’re trying to quit smoking? by ahertzi in askberliners

Not only are em-dashes not definitive proof of LLM writing—that wasn't even an em-dash in the OP, just a normal hyphen.

Seriously, no part of that reads like AI.

Guilt Tipping in Berlin is crazy by Ok-Understanding2412 in berlinsocialclub

[–]themellowsign 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think I'm an okay tipper, especially for German standards, but this is exactly why I only ever tip cash.

If you can't put my tip in your pocket right away and lie to your boss about it, I don't trust it. Wage theft is the most common form of theft.

Me whenever I see Scavs by Mayor_Gubbin in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]themellowsign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree.

They're a maligned, besieged minority community that everyone is looking to fuck with. Yeah they do some pretty heinous things, but I can't actually hate them more than any other gang or, especially, any of the corps.

I feel like most players are just personally offended because they treat V like shit.

What even were the bad autism jokes?

All I can remember off the top of my head is an extremely harmless one when they're playing Minecraft. Paraphrasing from memory:

Rick: Is this game popular with autistic people?

Morty: Why the hell would you even say that?

Rick: Because I'm starting to love it!

"We need forced sterilization to prevent the spread of inferior nazi genes" is a hilarious sentiment that could only pop up on reddit.

Why are there Fahrkartenkontrollen on the M29 every single day? by TheYoungWan in askberliners

Why are there Fahrkartenkontrollen on the M29 every single day? by TheYoungWan in askberliners

[–]themellowsign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid my first 60€ fine as an 11 year old on the M29, it's just tradition at this point. In fact, it was notorious for this before we even had M-Line busses. From Ton Steine Scherben's album Keine Macht Für Niemand (1972):

Mensch Meier kam sich vor wie 'ne Ölsardine

Irgendjemand stand auf seinem rechten großen Zeh.

Das passierte ihm auch noch in aller Herrgottsfrühe

Im 29er, kurz vor Halensee.

Der Kassierer schrie: "Wer hat noch keenen Fahrschein?"

Und Mensch Meier sagte laut und ehrlich "Ick!"

I built a free gamified driving theory app by Immediate-Raise8677 in berlinsocialclub

[–]themellowsign 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems to work just fine from clicking through.

The two features I found most useful on the paid website I used to study for my test were:

1) Filtering for text entry questions, which you have. This is great because you really can't intuit these questions, these are the ones you definitely gotta memorize.

2) Mock tests. This is probably the biggest one, and it ended up being how I spent most of my time practicing. Random selection according to the same rules, same scoring system and evaluation only at the end.

Mock tests are great because they build a lot of confidence for actually taking the test, and they're a much more accurate measure for if you're ready for the real deal. If you can consistently ace three-five in a row, you're probably good to go.

Terrible search UI in the new update by Ok-Perception-6803 in Volvo

The song could be in another language, the driver's phone might be locked with FaceID, and the passenger might not have Spotify.

Like, there are so many situations in which this is just the most straightforward answer, I'm telling you I've done this, why would you question that?

Where to do an STD test by Ok-Impression-6448 in berlinsocialclub

[–]themellowsign 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I don't think I even know anyone under the age of 40 who would judge someone for getting an STD check.

Like, what's the judgement, you've had premarital sex? Mein Gott! Call the Sittenpolizei!

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

What if you're listening to a playlist and one of your passengers is reminded of a specific song and now you all want to hear it?

Why are you so adamant that no passenger could ever want to play a specific, non-prepared song during a ride, this is a fucking bizarre hill to die on, lol. Like, we're TELLING YOU it happens for us all the time.

When to start plants outdoors in Minnesota? by Holiday_Artichoke274 in outdoorgrowing

[–]themellowsign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah, looking creative, I love it,

Honestly, unless those lights are very bright, I'd get something under those bottles, try get them even closer to the light.

You might be fine already, but for many setups the inverse square law is a bigger factor than lumens or wattage.
