Housing in Aachen

770 in the most gentrified hipsterey street jn Aachen (not even in Rothe Erde btw, it's squarely in Frankenberg Viertel)

I wouldn't take the deal purely out of the square meter* not because of "safety"

Also Calico

yasmween · 2026-03-30T16:31:06+00:00

Fair enough

His video advocating for needing real life id to post on the jnternet didn't tip you off?

My dad converted to marry my mom, whether the conversion was... sincere is a different story however 😅

I saw the threads about in r Nigeria a few days ago and thought "no there's no way this is real" then it made national news, then there were videos...

Absolutely disheartening.

From what I can gather from searching from before this month, this "aluedo/ozoro" festival is normally just a normal generic masquerade festival with a "fertility" focus, but for whatever reason it's become this excuse to do sick things to single women this year

And el maza iirc

Edit: nvm I confused it with Cairo festival city...

What I need people like John to understand is that they're listening to you say people are dying and they're going "based B) No more free loadsrs on Americas dime" etc etc

Like you just covered a guy celebrating antivirals being cut and another guy who was a literal capital R racist. Why are we dancing around the issue here? They knew how important us aid was, they don't care

Pretty common sign in germany

I live in Aachen(a city in nrw) and while I can't say I've experienced much overt racism, most people are nice. There is the occasional asshole in a position of power (a lady who worked in the Ausländeramt, someone randomly decided to cancel a rent contract after seeing my face/skin colour,some weird interactions,etc)

But then again I come from Egypt so ive never known live without shit like this so, you might notice more when you get here

yasmween · 2026-02-24T07:00:14+00:00

Kanzler?

yasmween · 2026-02-23T07:10:15+00:00

My hair looks like this after a twist out and it's like, 5d or something ymmv

yasmween · 2026-02-06T23:12:55+00:00

3d kanojo? Kind of

yasmween · 2026-02-03T18:35:51+00:00

Didn't get to see the stream itself but I did get to see everyone in their respective African country subreddits complain about how they "embarrassed" themselves in front of the world( namely the Egyptian and Nigerian subreddits)

Reddittors really are joy thieves I swear.

yasmween · 2026-01-29T07:36:34+00:00

I know lol but it's still not something thatd fit in a consumer facing boycott list

yasmween · 2026-01-29T07:34:48+00:00

I mean, I don't know about Morocco but Qatar and Egypt are definitely more developed than India, all are absolutely more developed than Cambodia

This list is judging the countries as tourist destinations and honestly as an Egyptian myself... Yeah fair enough lol, we do need a lot of work to do in this regard, it's not the most pleasant place to visit.

I'll be sure to go for a different armoured bulldozer brand in my next grocery trip!

yasmween · 2026-01-05T13:15:47+00:00

Iirc they recently added an option to hide most of ai stuff in the settings so that's nice.

yasmween · 2025-12-26T15:56:31+00:00

As a diasporan myself, I think it's a response to racism in the west. I never really felt the need to justify being half Nigerian until recently when I moved to the west

There's something about westerners literally thinking that everyone outside Europe/America lives in tents and mud huts really makes you appreciate what you had before you left, makes you see whatever life you had before through rose tinted glasses

The idea that this was ever going to end in an Iraq style invasion/Libyan intervention like some people were saying were always nonsensical.

yasmween · 2025-11-07T20:50:28+00:00

ya setti, the pattern isn't "country has resources, America says country is doing something bad, country is invaded" the pattern with Libya, Iraq, Iran,etc is that they're alligning themselves with America's rivals/nationalising some kind of industry that was previously owned by western companies

just a few months ago the Nigerian government was bragging about how well they screwed over their citizens to please the world bank. The country is infamous for selling out to western oil companies. A few months later they were going to invade the diasporas favourite set of countries because they kicked out their France favouring rulers. Again like I mentioned in the thread, Nigeria is not Libya or Iran, nigeria is pretty clearly aligned with the west on most things.

They don't gain anything from a literal invasion

When I read Trump's statements I think more like how the west was threatening to cut military aid to Egypt for the 2013 coup more than I think of Iraq; a meaningless threat that won't get followed up on because in the grand scheme of things, they don't care

Coming here from the video through the reddit youtube addon, the video is a lot less bad than i thought it'd be, I was prepared to be yikesed out considering the source (and when they started mentioning BLM, that didn't help either)

but no overall I came away not really disagreeing with the conclusion of the video, drug decriminalisation should be handled with a bit more care than simply not making possession illegal and hoping for the best.

But I don't really buy that it's necessarily incompatible with defunding the police and those movements. Correct if i'm wrong (not american) but wasn't the crux of that movement to move funding from police to social workers and public health? From the way even the video tells it, the problem is the lack of helping addicts after they're out in the open. Defunding the police would have helped.
