have you noticed that (almost?) every registration form for a tech meeting has a required field asking for the employer name?

i've tried to get in as (temporarily) unemployed, unsuccessfully.

is it a cultural thing - to keep people without current job, or who do not want to disclose their workplace (due to policies for example), out of tech meetings?

Heyho, i´ve been wanting to get tattooed in Berlin for quite some time now, but I struggle with finding the right artists. Does anyone have tips for blackwork tattoo artists who also do floral designs like the ones in the pictures?

I'm a Spaniard who just got to Berlin and is looking to meet new people to share common interests. I'm interested in music, science, cinema, cultural events, sports, and just exploring different neighborhoods on foot. But I'm so down to just have a chat about anything while having a coffee/beer. If you are in your 20s and wanna try chatting to see if we hit it off, drop me a message! :P

Hello everyone!

Tomorrow I got some time before work and since all my friends are working 9-5 I decided to plan a solo outing in the city by myself.

I thought about the usual chilling at a park, visiting a museum or eating at a restaurant but I wanted to try something different.

Specifically, my free time is between 12:00 and 18:00 so any suggestions for such a quest would be amazing.

Ideally I'm looking for something low cost/free, solo-friendly and kinda relaxing. It can be on a social setting too!

Thank you so much for your suggestions ✨

Benutze seit Jahren Telekom (DSL) als meinen Internetanbieter und habe so gut wie 0 Ausfälle.

Bei mir war nur DSL möglich und maximal 50 mb/s und es lief einwandfrei. Auch bei mehreren Benutzer. Ich erwäge einen Wechsel wenn ich was sinnvolles finde, um Kosten zu sparen.

Ich hatte mal Vodafone DSL und war davon traumatisiert wie schlecht das war!

Nun scheint bei mir Kabel auch möglich zu sein, bis 1000 mb/s.

Wie ist PYÜR Kabel/DSL in meiner Umgebung ?
Wie sieht es mit Vodafone Kabel aus? Oder hat jemand gute Erfahrung mit 1&1 gemacht?

O2 werde ich gar nicht in Erwägung ziehen ._.

Freue mich auf den Austausch!:)

Cheers

Not normal ramen, but tsukemen, where there are thick homemade noodles where you dip them into the broth.

Just having a craving right now :)

Update: the only places serving this right now are Niko Niko and Fugakawa. Thanks guys!

Yo Leudies, mein Sozialleben ist so ziemlich im Arsch seit ich in Berlin wohne haha. Habe mich vor kurzem wieder im Gym angemeldet in meiner Nähe, im SuperFit Gropius - war vorher im FitX.
Vielleicht hat ja jemand Lust zusammen zu trainieren. (Mo/Mi/Fr) Wär auf jedenfall auch bereit mal außerhalb des Gyms was zu starten, solang die Sympathie passt, darf aber auch gern was sportliches sein.
(Bin M/24, bin im Aufbau weil fucking dünn & vorweggesagt nicht wirklich der extrovertierte Typ lol)

I’ve been living in Berlin since almost a year now, and I’ve explored a lot. Now I’m looking for new bars, in any area, with cool, conversational people. Any suggestions people?

Hello All,

Long story short,

I got a cervical radioculopathy ( its called pinched nerve too) and my neuro going to give me a steroid injections in my neck. I am in so much pain but the latest appointment they give me for 23 sep, then follow up 2 more injections again 2 weeks apart. As they have no appointment free at their clinic.

I mean if somone in pain isnt it making it worse to wait so long to get injection?

I never knew situation is so bad in berlin!

They give me medicine for heavy dose of pain relief but isn't it better to treat straight away ( I am alreday on med from them 3 weeks alreday).

Hopeless ! Guys don't get sick here..I am fluent in German..so its not about communication at all..

Thanks

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m planning a short solo trip somewhere nearby from Berlin sometime between September 14–30. I haven’t fixed the exact dates yet, so I’m flexible and can plan around the destination/event.

My first choice is Prague 🇨🇿 and Poland 🇵🇱(Kraków/Wrocław) is my second option.

I’m thinking around 2–5 days, depending on the place and what we decide to do. The idea is pretty simple: explore the city, try good food, see the main attractions, maybe check out some nightlife/events, take lots of photos, and just enjoy a break from the usual routine. 😄

I’m travelling solo at the moment, but if anyone is also looking for a travel buddy around those dates, feel free to DM me. We can figure out the dates, destination, budget and itinerary together.
💰 Budget: around €500 max
🚌 Starting from: Berlin
📅 Dates: September 14–30 (flexible)
🌍 Options: Prague first, Poland second

👥 Solo traveller, but open to joining up with others
No pressure to plan everything together either, even if you’re going on your own but happen to be in the same city around the same time, we could meet up for a day or grab food/drinks.

If you’re interested, just DM me and tell me a little about yourself and what kind of trip you’re looking for. ✌️

Got into bouldering recently and wanted to see if anyone here Boulders as well and where is your favorite gym?

I usually go BK and Der Kegel, if anyone goes there too and is down to link up, dm me :) Also willing to try Urban Apes fhain sometime soon

Hi everyone,
I'm Laura and currently re-discovering my teenage hobbies, such as tabletop gaming and miniature painting. Back in the day I used to paint Warhammer 40K, but never actually got to play them.
Now I'd love to discover the Corvus Belli Infinity System - maybe there's someone in Berlin to help me start off? :-)
Thankful for any messages and hints!

gesehen in der Wisbyer Straße

I met someone randomly at a Späti in Neukölln and asked if he was using Monkey Dust, because he recognized the behavior. I was attracted to him and went back to his place because I wanted to hook up. He then used Monkey Dust in front of me and became clearly psychotic, even saying that I was a “honey trap.” At his walls were written text like diary entries. Two doorhandels were tied with a belt. I felt uncomfortable.

I didn’t use anything and eventually went home. Looking back, I put myself in a risky situation because I prioritized sex over my own safety. I’m glad I recognized what was happening and left.

Hello everyone. 12 days ago I got scammed, now I‘m 2000€ in debt. I‘ve been applying to jobs everyday but no answers (yet). Atp, I‘m ready to do anything, I habe experience in cleaning, gardening, babysitting, selling/ cashier, and lots of other things. I‘m fluent in german and english as well.

Today I was very close to pr*stituting myself but strangers kept me from it adn I realized, wtf I was about to do. I really don‘t know what to do anymore, I‘d take any kind of work, no matter how long or which time. If someone could help me out, I‘d be extremely thankful!!!

Hey, ich werde ab dem Wintersemester 26 an der HTW BWL studieren. Ich suche nach Leuten die mir eventuell Tips und Tricks mit auf den Weg geben können, die mir den Einstieg ins Studentenleben erleichtern. Außerdem würde ich mich gerne mit anderen Ersties connecten. Meldet euch also gerne alle :)

The prices are actually insane, i'm seeing 1000 euros to stay in a six bed dorm for 2 weeks. i've tried flatio and it seems they have 3 month minimums. Any other recs? So far best value i can get is airbnb. i'd like to stay somewhere around kreuzberg/friedrichshain. thanks for the help!

I got my first cheap used car in Germany a few weeks ago and I think it needs a new clutch, I sent a batch of emails asking for a quote and everything is at the €600 - €800 range which is a bit too much for me.

Does anyone know of any mechanics in or around Berlin that you know give very fair prices?

Also, does anyone have any experience with driving to the polish border for repairs, if so, how much cheaper was it for you?

Social Forest Berlin 8-week social anxiety group intensive in Kreuzberg
(1 solidarity spot left out of 3)

I posted about this a few weeks ago and wanted to share an update as we are about to begin.
2-hour Individual sessions begin on the 5th of September onwards and Group sessions begin on the 12th of September.

Social Forest is an intensive group program designed for people living with social anxiety - not one that circles endlessly around the problem, but one that gives you a real-life situations, safe space to stretch out your identity and get comfortable with the feeling that it is okay, and beautiful, to express yourself fully and be exactly as you are.

You will be immersed with somatic work, depth work, acting and debate exercises and many more latest scientific modalities that actually work, and they work really fast.

The group is small and each participant follows their personal plan with their own archetype framework, so the journey is personal even within the group format.

We are starting in a week in Kreuzberg.

For those in need: I have 1 solidarity spot left for those who genuinely cannot afford the program - you can apply for the spot. Finances should not be a barrier for those who actually need this work. If that is you, you are welcome to reach out and we can talk.

For everyone else, payment plans are also available.

If you are curious, feel free to DM me or book a free consultation here
And join us for our 3 hour taster session on Sunday!
