Egotistical: English Stand Up Comedy with Tera Kilbride!
Fri, Sep 25, 6:30 PMEgo, love, politics… what do they all have in common? Absolutely everything — and somehow, it’s still your family’s fault. Egotistical is a cheeky, sharp-tongued dive into the glorious mess of egos (yes, including mine), the delicate delusions we call love, and the world leaders who treat entire countries like their personal dumping ground. From childhood moments that quietly deflated our sense of self to distorted adult relationships — this show connects the dots between growing up, blowing up, and occasionally ruining everything. It’s about how we learned to love… badly. How we learned to lead… worse. And how, deep down, we’re all just overconfident children with Wi-Fi and unresolved issues. Come for the laughs, stay for the uncomfortable realizations — and maybe call your parents after. Or don’t. Stand up Comedy. [BOOK HERE ](https://fienta.com/egotistical-english-stand-up-comedy-with-tera-kilbride-198347) WILL THE SHOW BE ANY GOOD? Tera has over 25 years stage experience, it'll be fun.

PBerg engineers - monthly meetup
Wed, Oct 7, 5:00 PM**This is 100% non-profit. The 15€ sign up fee for everyone is only to minimize last-minute cancellations. The total sum goes to a bar-tap that everyone can use to order drinks until the amount is used up. ‼️NO REFUNDS‼️** **‼️Please don't just show up without RSVPing here and paying the 15€. We have a separate room that has limited capacity and a specific drinks agreement with the bar - so splitting up the bill won't become a mess.‼️** **Small update on how your money get's used from May 2024 onwards:** As of this month, meetup.com has started charging me 34€ instead of 16€ per month. I've decided to distribute this fee evenly among all us participants every month. Example: In the last 12 meetups, the average number of attendees was 17. With 17 attendees I would effectively collect 230€ (after fees). I would now substract 34€ leaving us with 196€ that go to the bar. 15% get's tipped to the wait staff, in this case 30€, leaving us with 166€ effectively to order drinks. Hope everyone is cool with this system. :) Website: https://www.pberg-engineers.me WhatsApp groups: Please come and join us on WhatsApp! \- "PBerg Engineers \- NEWS" \- Only organizers can post announcements or polls \-\> https://chat\.whatsapp\.com/EqMJMmlCZO6LOOfAoG4yTj \- "PBerg Engineers \- DISCUSS" \- Everyone can post \-\> https://chat\.whatsapp\.com/LPuo76J83gF6IZMLUcM4u2 Please join those groups now if you're interested. :) All skill/education-levels welcome! :) Lightning Talks: \- TBD We'll also have a brief "Jobs: Lost & Found section". **Location:** From the street you will have to enter the right hand Cafe Chagall (yes, there are 2). Then, you go upstairs and our private room is in the far end corner of the building. We are a relaxed, non-formal meetup of like-minded software engineers who want to always keep learning and want to meet in physical reality over a drink or two. Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin is home to some of the most talented software engineers in the world, and every month, they come together for an exciting knowledge sharing meetup. This meetup is a chance for attendees to learn from each other, share their experiences, and gain new insights into the world of software engineering. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, and the discussions are always engaging and thought-provoking. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or just starting out in your career, you'll find something valuable at this meetup.

🤔 Saturday Philosophy picnic 🧺
Sat, Sep 19, 1:00 PMJoin us for a relaxed philosophical discussion in a Cafe or Park **📖 Do I need to prepare?** Nope, just bring yourself a beer maybe or some snack you can enjoy. Maybe Bring a blanket (optional if its sunny and we are going to sit in park) **☀️ Whats the vibe?** 💬 No philosophy background is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to hear different perspectives. 🌱 We’ll keep things relaxed and conversational. Simple questions often lead to surprisingly deep discussions, and that’s exactly the atmosphere we’re hoping to create. **🤔 Questions we might explore** ### ### **Is staying silent the same as taking a side? 🤐** **Situation:** A coworker is publicly blamed for a failed project. You know your manager made the decision that caused it, but speaking up could put your own job at risk. * How much personal risk should you accept to defend someone being treated unfairly? Some free questions: * Is there a moral difference between privately disagreeing and publicly objecting? * Does having more power give us a greater responsibility to speak up? * Can silence ever be a thoughtful choice rather than an act of cowardice? ### **Is kindness still kindness when you expect something back? 🎁** **Situation 1:** A friend regularly helps you move, listens to your problems, and pays for meals. When you decline a favour that would seriously inconvenience you, they list everything they have done for you. * Did accepting their kindness create a debt you should repay? Some free questions: * Must kindness be selfless to have moral value? * When does expecting reciprocity become treating relationships like transactions? * Which matters more: why someone helps or the difference their help makes? **Bonus: Would you protect someone you love if they committed a crime? 🔐**
