Stress relief? Pets are great stress relief. So maybe you live longer when you have a pet.

PS am in market for cat(s), Southern Germany.

I think it starts as a means for making money and getting power and continues because those involved know that if they give up power they're in deep trouble.

All news media have stuff ready for when a famous person pops their clogs. Various versions, usually.

Michelle Obama says she does as well. I suppose a lot of people in the public eye do.

You're confusing fiscally liberal with left wing liberal. They're completely different beasts.

I have a friend who lives in a "bad neighbourhood". Everyone looks out for one another. Harm anyone in that street and you're in deep shit.

My aunt also lived in a close community. When she died, they had to hire security to guard houses because the entire neighbourhood was at her funeral. She and her husband had looked after them, they'd looked after her after my uncle died.

The human race will not survive without empathy and community.

I wouldn't do it. Do you want to have an obligation like that? "I'm going out tonight." "You can't, I need you to iron my suit for tomorrow."

Having no law that prevents adults from having sex with children (because a 17 year old is a child) is nothing to be proud of. And yes, I know your law allows adults have sex with 16 year olds. Although it beats the 14 years it used to be, I suppose...

Germany: it's a day off and there are demonstrations in Berlin.

Wars of conquest were made illegal after Hitler invaded Poland.

There's a former nunnery down the road. I suppose I'd try to join. Or maybe find a farmer who's looking for someone to look after his kids because his third wife died in childbirth.

We had a blackbird in the back yard who was adopted by a flock of sparrows. Initially her mum died and her dad fed her, then dad disappeared and she started begging food from the sparrows. They obliged and she was part of their flock from then on, even when she got a husband.

Email is a terrible example that people need to stop using.

I live in Germany. A court just fined a politician for criticising the conservative party (CDU) because it was working together with the fascist party (AfD). The CDU sued him and won. Not the first time a judge supported the right wing either.

That's all you need to know, really.

He only watched Tagesschau, but no matter what we did with his phone to make it secure, he'd manage to fuck it up and get to places he shouldn't get to and change settings he shouldn't have been able to get at. His PC was also a barrel of fun.

They will, usually by accident. Source: my father in law.

Fascism is winning because fascists have been given a voice by people refusing to ban them. It's what happened with Hitler, it's what's happening with the AfD in Germany, it's what's happening with the PVV in the Netherlands.

You never give in to fascists.

I'm currently taking 10. Long Covid, esophageal dysmotility, asthma and menopause are a bitch.

HRT (2 meds), 2 lots of heart meds, statins, omeprazole, blood pressure meds, antihistamines, betablocker, inhaler.
