Hey, that’s a difficult situation for you and I hope you‘re still alright. It is touching that you try to be there for your partner even though they‘ve had a relapse. Firstly I want to encourage you to look out for yourself. You are their partner not their therapist. And it’s better for you both if it stays that way. Of course you can help them if you can but this is still something they have to manage themselves with the help of professionals. Especially so when you write that they get angry under the influence. But then, addiction is a chronic disease and relapses are a part of it. It’s important what they think about it once they are sober again. And it’s good that you’ve set boundaries to keep you safe. You should tell them again what your boundaries are once they’re sober again, maybe encourage them to seek help, tell them you’re there for them as a partner but that you can’t fix and their addiction and can’t tolerate them consuming. It is good for them to see your anger and your love. I hope they and you will see through this! Source: studying to be a social worker to work with addicts.

Yes, please, do it already!

And this is how you further damage democracy and strengthen the far right. Because a lot of the people who don’t vote or vote for the far right are people who feel left behind who are of the impression that the system is broken and they don’t benefit from it. Social welfare is a way to directly show everyone what a democratic state is good for. Policies that benefit the poor, the working class and the middle class make a strong society. But Merz and others simply don’t seem to get it or care and stare in wonder at the ever rising numbers of people who want to see the world burn.

There is a great song by the German punk band „Team Scheiße“, „FA“, with the refrain „Bist du anti Antifa, bist du Fa“ which translates to „If you’re anti Antifa, you’re fa[shist]. A bit simplistic but true.

Grundsätzlich finde ich ja, dass Staatsbedienstete gut bezahlt werden sollten. Aber jetzt mal ehrlich, fast 200KEUR sind doch gut, oder? Was fehlt einem da denn noch? Aber bei der Grundsicherung müssen wir sparen! Und jetzt bitte keine Vergleiche mit Toppositionen in der Wirtschaft. Die werden auch zu gut bezahlt.

Yeah, if you wanted something a bit more legit, https://www.highlandtitles.com/ offers to become a „Lord/Lady of the Glen“™️. And they are open about it being just for fun. They state:

**You will be addressed by your choice of Laird, Lord or Lady of the Glen by us and within our 300,000+ strong community. Please note you cannot buy a noble title. This is for enjoyment purposes only. *You obtain a personal right to a souvenir plot of land. Highland Titles remains as the registered landowner and manages the land on your behalf.

But you get a nice printout and some trinkets as well…

I‘d say that caring for yourself is an important step towards caring for others and having the strength to do so.

Don’t do it. It’s his body. Apart from medical issues it should be his choice. And bullying always finds a way and is hard to influence from the victim‘s part. You can only help in raising your child to be a confident person that is sure of your love and knows they can talk to you about anything.

Als Startpunkt wäre das statistische Bundesamt eine Adresse:

Oder einfach Zahlen ausdenken, das funktioniert heutzutage auch gut. /s

„Cowelation does not imply cowsation.“ Was right there! Still great! 🤣

Tja… was machen Menschen mit legalem Aufenthaltsstatus, die keine Arbeitserlaubnis haben? Die sitzen natürlich alle zuhause und studieren das CDU Programm und Bach und so. Ist klar. Und die, die die Mehrheitsgesellschaft an den Rand drängt, weil sie nicht blass und blond sind schreiben den ganzen Tag Dankesbriefe an Merz. /s

Klar ändert das nichts an X oder Musk. Dennoch finde ich, dass das ein wichtiges Symbol wäre.

Well I have OK experiences with Brother printers (in the EU). They complain about third party ink but accept it, if you use their ink, you can send back the used cartridges free of charge for recycling and they are just the ink containers and don’t include the printing head (if that’s the right word). They don’t immediately break after the warranty period. And even their ink subscription seems to be reasonably priced.

Did everyone forget that birds aren’t real?

There are more „episodes“ from this event on YouTube. They are all pretty great. Kirk seems to have problems debating with people who actually know their stuff and don’t let themselves be tricked.

Yes!

As part of the woke crowd, what I want to see is the „mainstreamification“ of respect for and safety of the people in sex work. You know, because they’re people.

Yes, apparently there’s a new cosmetic surgery technique called deep lift. And this is the result.

Backups are vital. But being able to restore backups is as well.

Pretty please, don’t call it slop!
