I mean, it’s still a place I’d tell people to go visit. The bars/restaurants are awesome, and the (not so distant) history is sobering. I found the Stasi museum hella interesting/terrifying.
I’d just mentally prep people before-hand for the, ah, “bluntness” 😂
My friend and I just assumed he could tell we were American and didn’t want to serve us. We didn’t stick around to ask. And he didn’t tell us off or to leave or anything, but just more blatantly ignored us.
Like I said, overall still good time. Everyone else was nice and happy enough to chat/serve us (or at least appeared to be lmao)
I’m white af, but, as an American, I didn’t get treated as rudely anywhere else in Germany than Berlin. Still had a great time overall in the city, but, not really in a rush to go back.
My friend and I were standing at a bar mulling over the menu, just kind of murming to one another over what drinks we wanted while we were waiting for the bartender to finish up with his other customers. It wasn’t busy, but he was attending to other people. When he was finally done, he approached us and I said “Hi how are you?” with a smile. He didn’t say a single word to us, just took the menus from in front of us and put them on the back shelf, and then turned away.
So we left. Our money clearly wasn’t good enough there, and we spent it in another bar across the alleyway instead.
This is my answer too! I can never decide if I liked Prague or Brussels more!
Both highly underrated places to visit for Americans imo.
I have a huge crush on Charlie Day as well! I think I’d take him as Dr. Newt Geizsler from Pacific Rim tho. While I am usually like “Daw I love Charlie” in IASIP, there’s something about him wearing winter underwear with socks that’s an immediate turn off. 😂
That turning on the light in the car at night was illegal because it would cause a glare on the windshield.
I believed this into my mid-20s when my husband corrected me with a fuckton of teasing and incredulity.
Omg I can hear my parents now:
“Wait, I had to work and save and still not be able to afford an education?!?! I sHoUlD hAvE jUsT hElD uP a CoNvEnIeNcE sToRe.”
I agree with you, 100%, FWIW. I’m just imagining the asinine conversations we’re going to have to have with people who don’t understand that the world doesn’t revolve around them and they’re not the main character.
I’m someone who doesn’t mind repetition/eating leftovers.
So I would swap between leftovers, and then my quick lunch would be 2 hardboiled eggs, some babybel or string cheese, and then some kind of fruit.
Minimal cooking, easy clean up, easy to take with you.
2 eggs, 2 cheese, and a banana is surprisingly filling.
I visited a brewery in Germany that was mined out of the bottom of a volcano. It was pretty fucking chilly underground there even in the dead of summer, so maybe that’s where they kept it?
Idk, I showed up to the wrong tour and I only know like 3 words in German so I had zero idea what was happening 98% of the time.
Man I feel this. I’ve been obsessed with Cooking Diary since May of last year.
Just this morning, I popped awake, threw on some YT drama videos for background noise, and just played CD for like an hour and a half before I was like “Time to be productive”. Good easy start to a Sunday.
That being said, I saw further down you try not to spend money on the mobile games. I went through a phase in 2019/2020 where I was fucking massively into a Chinese dating Sim game called “Mr Love Queens Choice.” I spent $850 over the course of 2 years. It was a great game and I had a ton of fun, but there was a point where I crossed into a bonus tier that you could only get to by spending a certain dollar amount. And then I was like “Oh. Oh no boo boo what is you doin’?!”.
Ma’am, the way that the letters A/S/L took me BACK! 😂
And hell yeah, personal project gamedev does sound way more fun! It’s always the passion projects that keep us going, right?
Enjoy your pizza! We might do the same! (Low key seeing what other people are ordering and mulling it over while I’m at work)
Hello and Happy International Women’s Day! I hope yours is going awesome, and your day off work is hella restful! Although, gamedev defo sounds like work to me!
I too am a lady type on the internet! I’ve never really hidden that though as I grew up a HELLA nerdy Millenial. I’ve had the internet in my hizzy since grade school and I cut my teeth on things like HarryPotter.com and GaiaOnline. Cutesy nerdy spaces. However, on the anonymous spaces, people assume I’m a dude on the reg. I usually just let it go. It’s likely why I haven’t experienced the toxicity to the same level that other ladies unfortunately have.
That being said, this weekend I’m hoping to be productive as hell with some yard work, and chilling out with some Cyberpunk as it’s my latest obsession. And I’m definitely not cooking tonight!
Because I’m food motivated though…whatchu thinking about for take out?
Tbf the fact that the “F” is included makes no goddamned sense. Just always how I’ve seen it abbreviated 🤷🏼♀️
10/10 I’d set up an auto payment every fucking pay check.
Tbf, I’m sure actual real deal Canadian Maple Syrup is also on a whole other level.
I’m betting if I ever had it, I may stop getting silently disheartened when someone serves me pancakes instead of bacon and eggs 😂
I don’t think I’ve been to a breakfast place that doesnt serve maple syrup with any of these.
With that being said tho, I never order any of these while I’m out to eat either because all of it in the US is low quality garbage oversaturated with sugar.
I always thought I disliked waffles until I was drunkenly peer pressured into ordering one in Brussels. Ugh. So good!
In our current campaign, that’s what my husband does with his rogue buddy.
They are constantly giving each other advantage, firing off a shot, and then hiding. It’s very effective.
Meanwhile I’m clumsily muddling through as a Druid because I wanted to venture out and try something new, because I usually go for a simple Fighter. I am not good at strategizing my spells 😂
Right? I use a mix of drugstore and mid-range cosmetics as a makeup enthusiast. Drugstore has stepped up their game!
My favorite foundation that I keep going back to over and over again regardless of anything else I try is the $5.99 Wet N Wild Photofocus Foundation. It’s just so…perfect. I’ve had to have exceeded 10 bottles at this point.
Same with eye primer, brow pencils, eyeliner, and mascara. So much that ELF and Essence put out in these categories are so good.
God he was so fucking funny. It was a legit travesty when he let the mask slip and showed us he was actually a huge prick that shouldn’t be supported.
