Sometimes things just don't work out. I have a few exes I'm still good friends with.

Nah. Intrusive thoughts are a bitch.

Nope. 15 Euro a year (Freiburg, Germany), which doesn't automatically renew and it's a bloody pain.

When people post on X I complete lose the urge to follow them. If you support X you're complicit.

Especially when you're removing the names of women who actually achieved something.

Fun fact: many shelters in Germany won't allow you to adopt a cat if it can't go outside freely.

So I don't have a cat. Do I worry about extinct birds or anything like that? No. Cats are native in Europe and I have shit tons of birds of prey (and storks) around here that catch way more birbs than the local cats do.

But I've had cats for years, and they've been poisoned (rat and antifreeze), hit by cars, hit by trains, and even shot by farmers. I kept my last cat inside.

My apartment and balcony are big enough. I'm looking at rescuing a couple of cats in Bulgaria because those rescue organisations insist you keep the cats inside. Sorry, German kitties.

How does it affect you? If a neighbour who doesn't like you can just call the police, tell them you're in a gang, and get you deported without due process that will absolutely affect you.

PS the world is in this state because of unempathetic people like you.

The laws are different in each country. You're going to have to trawl through their documentation, I'm afraid. It can be incredibly frustrating. I have a Turkish friend who is a qualified doctor who, despite having the right papers, is still waiting for permission to practice after 18 months here, even though the country is desperate for doctors.

Er zijn heel veel ouderen met een piepklein pensioentje die een huis bezitten dat goedkoop was toen ze het kochten maar nu miljoenen waard is. Die kunnen die belasting niet betalen. Ga je die op straat gooien? Huren is te duur.

Yesterday I got a call from someone who thought I was the tax office. Wrong number.

They're not hard at all.

You forgot "and then she went bat shit crazy." I mean, she was questionable already (and I'm talking about her behaviour and being a terrible judge of character, not the books), but this is a whole nother level of nuts.

The US literally said "you don't need weapons, we'll protect you." They weren't asked to protect us, they strong armed us. And now we're lacking arms because of them. Most Americans, including Hesgeth and Vance have never opened a history book.

'T is the season.

I mean... the poor guy has to look at your hairy pits all through the lecture. Tank tops are underwear or beachwear.

Schools literally prefer to hire foreigners as English teachers because their English is better.

I've on the Internet for the same amount of time and it's gotten MUCH worse.

Big tech realised that touch screen keyboards are cheaper to manufacture (develop) than physical keyboards and persuaded everyone that touch screen keyboards are better. Absolutely not. Screw touch screen keyboards.
