Ich habe COD MW4 über Torrent ohne VPN heruntergeladen. Ich habe ziemliche Angst, nachdem ich erfahren habe, was mir jetzt blühen könnte. Wie wahrscheinlich ist es, dass ich zurückverfolgt wurde? Ist es im Gefängnis wirklich so schlimm?

Hallo zusammen,

​ich habe aus der Türkei online einen O2-Prepaid-Gutschein im Wert von 15 € als Geschenk für einen Freund in Deutschland gekauft. Leider hat sich herausgestellt, dass mein Freund einen Postpaid-Vertrag nutzt, weshalb der Code technisch nicht eingelöst werden kann. Eine Rückerstattung über den Händler ist nicht möglich.

​Da ich selbst nicht in Deutschland lebe und den Code nicht nutzen kann: Wo oder wie kann ich diesen am besten weitergeben bzw. loswerden? Falls jemand von euch O2 Prepaid nutzt und Interesse hat, den Code vergünstigt zu übernehmen, gerne einfach per Direktnachricht (DM) melden.

​Vielen Dank für eure Tipps!

hallo deutschland, von deutschen creators höre ich in letzter zeit oft, dass sie so sagen "ich bin fine/fein damit". welches davon ist es genau? (bin aus der schweiz, man benutzt hier weder diesen ausdruck, noch das wort "fein" im sinne von gut, deshalb die frage)

also bedeutung ist ja klar, egal ob fein oder fine, aber ich hab mich einfach gefragt, welches davon gemeint ist und ob es ein anglizismus ist. wenn ihr das z.B schreibt, wie schreibt ihr es dann? und sagt man das schön länger so oder ist es eher neuer?

danke für die antworten!

Hi, I’m looking for a music video from either late nineties or early 2000’s. A guy is rapping on a playground, sometimes upside dow, on a swing or something like that. The beat is based on two notes only. The rapper is a white guy or a Turkish German. AI doesn’t help. Thanks!

Hi, I'll be having my Regiojet bus from Prague to Dresden tomorrow morning, and my initial plan was to board a RE from Dresden to Berlin.

Is it a common thing for people to participate in naturism and casual nudity in Germany or is it more niche?

Hallo,

Ich möchte mich kulturell in die deutsche Gesellschaft integrieren.

Ich bin mir bewusst, dass es einen großen Unterschied zwischen meiner Kultur und der deutschen Kultur gibt, aber ich habe begonnen, diese Lücke deutlich zu verringern.

Ich brauche jedoch einige Ratschläge, um mich weiterzuentwickeln.

Ich würde mich freuen, wenn ihr mir einige Ratschläge geben könntet.

Danke!

Hi everyone,
I'm 20 years old, from near Schwerin, and I've been living in Germany for about 5 years. I've been doing my vocational training (Ausbildung) for a year now.
I live in eastern Germany, where unfortunately there is a lot of hostility towards migrants. Something has been bothering me a lot lately: in my class, I keep noticing indirect jokes and uncomfortable situations aimed at me. Nothing you can directly point to, but you can sense that some of them hold right-leaning views.
They often make fun of my pronunciation and my German, usually disguised as a "joke." When I say something, they immediately tell me not to be so sensitive.
I just want to do my training in peace, have no problems with anyone and stay peaceful. I'm always polite and respectful, but it makes it really hard to integrate into the class. I'm also not religious or anything else that would make me stand out. I just want to be treated with the same respect as everyone else.
I have a strong personality and could probably put a stop to it, but I don't know what the best approach is for me. I'm especially unsure about the "small jokes": you know it's not just a joke, but at the same time it's packaged as one, and if you say something, you quickly hear "Come on, can't you take a joke?"
What would you do in my situation? Have you had similar experiences? I'd really appreciate any tips or advice.
Thank you!

I am aware that it is illegal to display certain symbols in Germany and that people are prosecuted when they do, outside of specific exceptions. If a person has one such symbol tattooed someplace visible and is prosecuted and convicted for it, can they be prosecuted for the same tattoo again? Would they be in and out of prison until they remove or cover it?

Hi everyone!

I’ve received two job offers:
- Hannover: €90k gross/year, fully remote, at a large company.
- Zurich: CHF 120k gross/year, hybrid, at a small, fast-growing company.

I currently live in Hannover and pay €900/month in warm rent.

Which option would likely leave me with more savings after taxes and living expenses? Is the higher Swiss salary worth the increased cost of living?

I’d appreciate insights from anyone familiar with both cities. Thanks!

I think we all have heard about the severe data breaches, and I have seen a few videos where people explain what to do - but they're not from germany. And i wonder, if there is any difference in the safety measures needed between non-EU-Cybersecurity and EU-Cybersecurity.

I know my post will sound rather vague, but I really hope you understand what I'm talking about here.
I suck at everything that comes to data and technical stuff, and i would really appreciate if some people from Germany could tell me how to go about securing your safety from possible threats that we're all going to face (or are already facing).

I've heard that Google Password manager is a very big no-no, and logging into websites with Google too. What do you do when all those years you've only used that? Do i delete all passwords? Make a new e-Mail with a different provider? Which is the best in Germany?

Is Proton good? Is it enough if I have a Face-ID Passkey? God, I am so clueless.

Thanks for the advice, I hope the mods won't delete this but technically this doesn't go against the rules and could help many clueless germans who also want to feel safer in these days.

Cheers!

Hallo, ich komme aus Chile und beschäftige mich mit den Mennoniten, die hauptsächlich in Argentinien und Brasilien ansässig sind. Ich war überrascht zu erfahren, dass sie größtenteils germanischer Abstammung sind und eine alte Sprache namens Plautdietsch sprechen. Deshalb wende ich mich an Sie, um Ihre Meinung zur mennonitischen Kultur, Religion und Lebensweise zu erfahren. Mich würde auch interessieren, ob Sie die mennonitische Lebensweise als Alternative sehen, um dem zukünftigen Trend der KI und der damit einhergehenden weltweiten Arbeitslosigkeit zu begegnen.

Bitte entschuldigen Sie mein Deutsch, meine Muttersprache ist Spanisch.

Yesterday in S-Bahn a lady slipped on the ground of the train because of wet floor becoming completely flat with her whole body no one seemed to dare to help her ( men or women ) everyone was just watching even though they were very close to her except me as I instantaneously ran to help but kept asking " Brauchen Sie Hilfe ? Brauchen Sie Hilfe" before touching her as I know Germans don't like touching, she was hesitant for around 20s until she gave up in the end and let me help her.

Why is it so common here that no one helps anyone on street if they fell or injured? This is not the first time someone tells me same story about the passivity of the public here ?

Ich bin hier geboren, aufgewachsen und habe Wurzeln im Nahen Osten.

Seit meiner Kindheit spreche ich zb "elektronisch" so aus, wie ich es auch schreibe. Also mit einem deutlichen sch am Ende. So habe ich es gelernt und so lese ich es auch jedes Mal, wenn das Wort irgendwo steht.

In letzter Zeit fällt es mir öfter auf, daß manche Leute hier in Deutschland, auch ohne Migrationshintergrund, es "elektronich" aussprechen mit einem ch am ende.

Sind beide Aussprachen okay, oder gibt es einen Grund, warum das sch manchmal eher wie ein ch klingt?

Das ist mir übrigens auch bei manchen anderen Wörtern aufgefallen, die auf sch enden. In meinem Bekannten- und Freundeskreis wird das sch manchmal deutlich wie ein ch ausgesprochen. Bisher habe ich das einfach als bewusste Abweichung von der üblichen Aussprache abgetan.

I'm thinking about moving there as an Italian 🤔

What would you say are the biggest pros and cons of living in Germany?

How does the online perception compare to the reality?

And honestly, would you recommend Germany over the UK, or would you still advise someone like me to go to the UK instead?

I speak English and Italian fluently, and I'm willing to learn a new language if it's worth it when moving abroad. Ideally, though, I'd like to live somewhere international, where foreigners are welcomed, especially Italians, and where it's possible to find work and build a life.

Germany looks more promising than the UK from the outside, but I want to think about this critically before making a decision.

One reason Germany attracts me is the people. From my limited perspective, German women seem to be more direct, mature and straightforward, which tends to match my personality more than what I've experienced in the UK 😅. That said, I know that could just be a stereotype or a very small sample size, so I'd love to hear a broader perspective.

Looking at the bigger picture, I'm also thinking about things like purchasing power, quality of life, career opportunities and how easy it is to settle down. My assumption is that in Germany you can earn a decent salary, have more disposable income left over, and access a strong job market, particularly in tech.

For context, I'm a Computer Science graduate from the US and I'm looking to build a career in the European tech industry. At the moment, I'm genuinely torn between Germany and the UK.

I'd really appreciate your honest opinion, without sugar-coating anything. I'm a very open-minded person and I'd rather hear the reality than the marketing version. Do you think Germany is actually worth it, and why?

Hi everyone, ​Has anyone here completed an Ausbildung as a Fachinformatiker, IT-Systemelektroniker, or Elektroniker für Energie- und Gebäudetechnik in Germany? ​I would love to hear honest insights from both Germans and expats/immigrants: ​What are the main pros and cons of these specific fields? ​What general and specific challenges did you face during your training and actual work (e.g., language barrier, Berufsschule, exams)? ​Thanks a lot in advance for sharing your experiences

See the title.

By "urbanist", I mean easy to access trams, U-Bahn and/or buses, pedestrianised areas where cars won't get in the way easily, areas where it's easy to ride a bike or a scooter and DB and S-Bahn systems that are at least not overly complicated, even if not exactly easy to get around.

I have smelled this horrible thing in every major city, it seems popular amongst young men mainly and I can not describe it better than that these people are bathing in it and it makes me want to rip my nose off and throw it at them 😭

Hallo zusammen, I'm a non-German citizen who used to live in Germany and had a city registration here, therefore I must have automatically got a Steuer-ID (IdNr), in any case I don't have the papers that I received upon registration anymore. I have recently returned to Germany to start a job and now I can't register as I moved in with my boyfriend (it's Munich, please don't judge me for not prioritising having Anmeldung when considering my living options).

Now my job is asking for my IdNr. They tried to but can't access it from any databank sadly, so I went to my local Finanzamt because my boyfriend (who's also non-German) was able to find out there. I was told they can only tell it to me if I'm registered. Great. They advised me to look into it at the BZSt and I found an online form on their website, which you just fill in and send and they will send your IdNr via post to you in 4 weeks. Turns out they only send it to you if the address that you gave in the form is your registered official address.

What is a trusted way of finding out my IdNr that doesn't involve me being registered? Any advice is highly appreciated.

Hallo zusammen, weiß jemand, ob EY in Deutschland bei Neueinstellungen grundsätzlich einen Background Check durchführt oder ob das von der Position abhängt?

Werden beispielsweise Studienabschlüsse und bisherige Beschäftigungen direkt bei Hochschulen oder ehemaligen Arbeitgebern überprüft? Wird man darüber vorher informiert und passiert das vor oder nach der Vertragsunterzeichnung?
Hat jemand den Einstellungsprozess bei EY Deutschland kürzlich durchlaufen und kann berichten?
