That's... A bit of a small goal here isn't it. Not only is it only focused on one specific country's government, but omits the question what would happen if they resigned. The movement is already there, there is plenty of replacement, and it might even help the GOP if they can use Trump and Vance as a scapegoat for all the insanity that has been going on. And most importantly: You still have a country ruled by billionaires with a fake two party system where every election you have the choice between John Jackson and Jack Johnson.

If you already get an uprising of gen z, gen x, mil's and boomers, then you gotta think bigger.

So you telling me venus doesn't look like a cheesy pizza?

As someone who's actually had this problem (in an urban area) and actually solved it

That's honestly quite remarkable

I am so, so sorry about your loss. I'm glad to hear that you were able to feel a beacon of hope last year, and that this painting was a way for you to cling on to it and feel it a little longer. I hope you find a way to keep holding on to it, and through that hope find the courage to not give up and try to support change instead whenever you can and have the strength and energy to do so. But I can't even imagine how hard that must be. And most of all, carry the love you had for your mom in your heart despite the grief, and the disgust and hate for the system that led to her demise quicker than it had to be.

I hope you don't mind if I save that picture of yours.

Making an AI meme of Luigi as a Saint is one thing.

Making a painting and having it casually displayed in your room is a whole other level.

Also, I can't believe it's already been a year.

Wait this is not photoshopped?

I remember I asked my husband in all seriousness to please kill me. Not in the heat of the moment, I actually meant it.

I don't remember the pain. I guess it must have been bad but I cannot even imagine what it felt like or where it was located.

A rectovaginal fistula is fun too. Imagine having a mix of period blood and poop exiting your vagina.

Did you just... write an erotica piece about Trump and Clinton?

Never had these but I've heard they're good

Cooked tomatoes are amazing. Raw tomatoes are disgusting.

The funny thing is - I think I was rather made to feel inferior. There was always that notion that I might fail because German is not my actual mother tongue. I was really good in school and got super bored in elementary. So my mom went to the principal to discuss whether I could at least for math join the higher grades or even skip a grade. This is when my school realized - based on my mother's heavy accent - that I had a migrational background and put me into a special ed after school program. It was degrading.

Right now our child is being raised bi(and a half)lingual. And while it is superficially considered great that she is being raised bilingual, we are also practically facing a lot of cynical behavior.

We were asked to speak German to her when she started kindergarten/preschool at 3 years old (which is actually not recommended to preserve the home language) so that she would have a faster time adjusting. Simultaneously, we are being told to avoid German at all cost and push her Russian much more by other groups, with the suggestion to make her learn how to write and read Russian at least a year before she starts school and not read German at all. We can't do it right no matter what.

She has a birth date that would qualify her to register for school a year earlier (she would regularly go a year earlier if we hadn't moved to another federal state), and it is already pretty clear they won't let her because they "want to make sure her German is good enough for school". She excels in both languages btw and is well above average in terms of expression and vocabulary, as we were told by her kindergarten teachers, yet still - we get the default answer that she will likely not be able to start school early because of her knowing Russian along with German.

So, no, in everyday life, I feel disadvantaged. It also highly depends on what language combo you look at. German and English? German and Spanish? Nice, wow, how amazing! German and Russian? German and Arabic? Ooof you will probably have difficulties in school, poor you. I'm not even going to start with the casual racism here.

I grew up with Russian and German and I cannot put it into words, but as a kid I was 100% certain that this helped me with math. It is almost like - I subconsciously knew I could approach something (like something I wanted to express) from two very different ways (two different languages), this translated to the way I approached a math problem.

I haven't had a single drink since I got pregnant.

Kid is 4 now. I am still sober. I planned on quitting and was cutting it down when TTC, only having some drinks on New Year's. But I had so many relapses in the previous years. I was scared that I wouldn't be able to stay sober throughout pregnancy, let alone motherhood.

It was the easiest thing to not have a drink during pregnancy, and it is still rather easy now. Even in dark, theoretically tempting times, it is so easy to say no. And I am incredibly proud. It is a miracle I made it out alive, let alone happily and free from fucking alcohol.

Don't forget the pesticides that are so fucked up that the farmers end up infertile

I can't buy non organic bananas, I feel like I am castrating someone. But realistically probably organic also isn't that much better.

Sewing, mending, repairing clothes. I am really bad at it. Also knitting. I will never be able to understand wtf I am seeing.

Not wishing him dead isn't the same as tolerating him and his beliefs

Damn the replies to your comment are wild.

I agree with everything you say. I hate this man but I am not as petty as to think this is funny or that he should die.

I mean, it's fun and all for a while, until you realize that 8/10 people have developed a moderate to severe drinking problem by the age of 25.
