A read a statistic that states that only about half of all Berliners were actually born here in the city, whereas the other half (like me) moved there from elsewhere in Germany/from abroad.

Well that's certainly one way to interpret the Wiedervereinigung.

It's doubly useful since I don't have a car and as such can only ever buy as much as I can carry on a single run, which puts a bit of a damper on the whole stockpiling thing.

This. Also gently caress buying more than you can carry in one go if you gotta carry it up multiple flights of stairs. I'm guessing everyone going "Sheesh, can't you plan in advance" has a car, lives in the suburbs, works 9-5 and probably has a wife who does all the shopping anyway.

I think the thing with the orndungsamt is that if they actually start giving a real gently caress and make life more inconvenient for everyone people would become actively hostile to them, which would mean the government would have to say something. In the current state of incompetent bliss everyone's ok and nobody actually has to do anything.

It's not that they don't give a gently caress, it's that they just don't have the manpower to enforce it. At least that's what papers printed (yeah, grain of salt and all that) when they were talking about actually enforcing the smoking ban. Turns out the Ordnungsamt only works until 22:00 or something like that as well. So I guess they wouldn't be able to enforce closing time either unless people specifically tip them off (or if the shop's open on sundays and even then only when people tip them off like that guy in Prenzlauer Berg did who promptly became the most hated person of Berlin overnight, and yeah, he's not a Schwabe, he's from Berlin proper).

Also it's not just that it's completely unbearable to not be able to shop whenever, it's just that there's no valid reason why stores should ever close down except because there's not enough business. If you're saying it's exploitation of the workers, you'd have to stop shopping at discounters as well, just for starters.

Es steht neuerdings sogar im Duden. http://www.duden.de/suchen/dudenonline/shitstorm

Likely not going away anytime soon. I think it's justified. "Öffentlicher Aufschrei" doesn't work for me because social media are anything but public like newspapers. Sure you can access them but the average German won't have any idea about memes like #aufschrei unless newspapers tell them about it. Using "shitstorm" as a description for stuff that enrages Twitter works fine I think. Maybe "die Sau durchs Dorf treiben" is more reflected on the fact that there's always some flavor-of-the-week scandal everyone gets agitated about and then forgets without the "internet is serious business guys" vibe you get when people report that there have been n tweets with the hashtag #XY or that some video got n hits when in reality it tells you jack poo poo.

She's been kinda retarded about the internet from what I remember, I think the whole thing about blocking pedophilia sites (which does jack poo poo about the crimes itself) was her idea or her ministry's.

You can park for free in lots of locations. Just need to find a spot first, and an U/S-Bahn station usually isn't far away either. Hamburg isn't that different in that regard except a bit crappier public transport coverage and the whole Gefahrengebiet thing.

That's not necessary at all. Any train/subway station is gonna have some spot nearby that's free, even if it's not a parking lot (which you have to pay for most of the time).

Die Wohnung meines Mandanten wurde gründlich durchsucht. Insbesondere hatten es die Beamten auf Datenträger abgesehen. Sie nahmen ein Notebook, mehrere USB-Sticks, eine externe Festplatte und etliche DVDs mit.

Im Durchsuchungsbericht heißt es, auf dem Schreibtisch hätten sich ein Monitor und eine Tastatur befunden. Der “dazugehörige PC” sei jedoch nicht auffindbar gewesen. Auf die Mitnahme des Monitors und der Tastatur habe man verzichtet.

Der iMac hat also durchaus Vorzüge.

How are you supposed to pronounce Professx? How do you even pronounce any gender related stuff like Binnen-i, Queersternchen and so on?

I don't care much about it either way (grew up in a taz household so the Binnen-I is standard fare for me) and I don't understand the rage from guys who hate it, it's just that the whole prescribing-describing thing made me curious about pronunciation.

nah, I only watched the trailers and they are really, really bad.

hey, if you couldn't get through the book, you should try the audiobook read by Christoph Maria Herbst. It's fantastic stuff and I think it's one of the main reasons why the book became so popular in the first place.

http://youtu.be/84tWgEgq6-g?t=326

Thanks, I'm deaf so audiobooks aren't my thing. I breezed through about half of the book when visiting friends im Ausland but haven't gotten around to buying my own copy yet.

Similarly the trailer wasn't subtitled so I had no idea it was crap. I'm curious about the bits where they film people reacting to the actor dressed up. From what I know that's supposed to be real people, and the group doing the Hitler salute gives off really uncomfortable vibes with that in mind.
