Saw this today, walking around in public like it’s no big deal. It’s “1933” in case it’s not super clear.

Dems are very definitely serving a buffet of very unpopular food, we can just look at polling on issues. In immigration a huge majority of Democrats thought the border was a major issue by Jan 2024, and all Biden did was one executive order six months later and try one bill, clearly just symbolic.

I dunno how it happened but my favorite Haribo candy has somehow become this trash that’s liquorice mixed with random flavors like coconut and chocolate.

Saw this at a restaurant today. It’s a nice change and totally necessary since Germans like to do this thing where they stay after their meal at a busy restaurant for two hours smoking cigarettes and not ordering anything.

One thing that’s hard to grasp until you’ve lived in Europe for a while is that European cultures, unlike the U.S., have no element of incorporating foreigners or outsiders as part of their social fabric.

~25 people with one checkout open, add a grocery store on Monday at 9:30 AM. This is the day after all grocery stores are closed, so they know it will be busy.

Remember that package I was complaining about from before? It arrived. It took 7 days to arrive from somewhere that I can walk to in 16 hours (drive in 1 hour), according to Google maps.

-Ordered simple fountain pen Jan 7
-Amazon gets package to <home city> Jan 8
-Hands over to Deutsche Post
-3 days later, still in the nether world of Deutsche Post with -projected arrival on the 14 (according to Amazon). Deutsche post needs six days to get somewhere that I can walk in an afternoon.

First elevator I see back in Germany, in a 6 floor medical center no less.
Might as well just put signs to alert elevators are actually working.
