@fawm is already offline for the season?! I'm heartbroken, I was traveling at the start of March and eagerly anticipating "MALM" in the second half of the month. To anyone I missed the chance to reciprocate a listen/comment to: I am so sorry, I was genuinely looking forward to doing so.
Sitting in the doctor's waiting room just now and a guy was next to me staring at his phone with a dire expression on his face. When his wife emerged from her appointment, he greeted her with "Arbeitsauto wieder geklaut." One of those moments when you realize how much worse your day could be going ๐Ÿ˜
Two days ago I made a huuuge soup (with leeks and carrots and potatoes and parsnip and so much more) and yesterday I made banana chocolate chip muffins and I am feeling so successful right now

The definition of political #conservatism isnโ€™t upholding โ€traditional valuesโ€, thatโ€™s just another lie they told you.

Itโ€™s about conserving the relationships of power within society. About how the rich โ€deserveโ€ their privileges etcetera.

Thatโ€™s how it was and has been from the french revolution onwards. Donโ€™t believe the hype.

Just got stabbed 11 times! I'm so excited to learn new things about myself :D

Flohmarkt is a Fediverse Marketplace

Flohmarkt is still a really young platform, but it shows promise as a way for people to create listings, and reach out to one another.

Call it what it is: corruption.

Use of singular "they" in English predates the US's existence by at least 400 years.

I think if people can learn new non-gendered terms like "libtard", or "snowflake", then they should be able to pick up this shiny new usage of "they" (and it only has half the syllables of the other two I mentioned).

FBI Warns Of โ€˜American Dreamโ€™ Scam

WASHINGTONโ€”Noting that millions have already fallen victim to the long-running grift, the FBI warned Monday of the โ€˜American Dreamโ€™ scam. โ€œReports are coming in all across the country of Americans who were promised great prosperity and success in exchange for a lifetime of hard work, only to find themselves swindled and left with virtually nothing,โ€ said agent Dean Winthrop, who explained that susceptible parties are made to believe that class mobility is possible simply through ability or achievement, despite the fact that innumerable social, economic, and racial barriers prevent the vast majority of U.S. citizens from attaining even marginal amounts of upward movement. โ€œMany even travelled across the world to live in what they were calling โ€˜The Land Of Opportunity,โ€™ a fictitious meritocratic society where any person can simply work their way up from the bottom. The victims, it appears, were drawn in by wild promises about equitable access to wealth, education, and home ownership, but before they knew it, they got played for suckers.โ€ Winthrop added that they havenโ€™t identified the schemeโ€™s kingpin, but are investigating a number of upper-middle class white men who have suspiciously benefitted from the longtime scam.
