Something something weren't they supposed to be the social ones. (I know, our SPD did the same thing, re: selling out to neoliberalism).

The pen pocket? That's really awesome. I love this sort of window effect with the image.

I think they both look lovely. Don't think anyone will notice the seam is not like it's supposed to be, and the moth is great. (Mistakes like that happen a lot and will continue to happen; for instance, I recently made a shirt and ended up attaching one of the sleeves inside out.)

(Worth keeping in mind as well, times are singularly irritating at the moment, that might add to your crabbiness, as opposed to you turning progressively into the Grinch.)

I wish you good luck? I've been pretty curmudgeonly for most of my life, and, it does get worse, the older you get. I put that energy into blocking people I find irritating without interacting with them, that helps a little.

Never had a kid, but without modern medicine, I possibly would never have been born, because of rhesus incompatibility.

I suspect the distinction is mostly "because they weren't in Germany helping the other Nazis" but yeah. Not a good look for him.

More stuff happened (more stuff being the thirty years war, various smaller wars with other European powers and the Ottoman Empire, etc), until finally Napoleon rose in power, and the last emperor abdicated in 1806. (My middle school history teachers are rotating in their graves.)

thing was huge and unwieldy, and the emperor himself didn't have that much power - that resided with the prince-electors, who were the most powerful secular and clerical princes in the empire (I think at their highest power there were 7, but they also went up to 10 members later on.)

So, they were heirs of Ancient Rome, they were holy because they saw themselves as the secular leaders of Christendom who were above everyone else (obvs not everyone agreed w that), and they were an Empire because a Frankish king named Otto had himself crowned emperor in the 10th century.

Oh no! It's been a while since I did medieval Germany, so this isn't exactly deep, but, the HRI got that name because they saw themselves as the heirs of the Roman empire, something that was pretty typical for that time, because essentially everyone wanted to be New Rome (or Continuous Rome).>

It's seriously funny when you have someone trying to pull the age card and you can tell them "dude, I could probably be your grandma.")

(I have definitely done this, but not to you, I believe? And it's in part because I hang out in fandom places, where people tend to be younger than me. That said, I'm pretty sure we're in the same age range, based on things you've said.)

Also, neu ist die Idee tatsächlich nicht, in der Literaturwissenschaft gab es immer mal wieder Spezis, die sowas behaupteten. Fällt ins gleiche Lager wie die verschiedenen Verschwörungstheorien darüber wer Shakespeare "wirklich" war.

We had an encyclopedia collection that was either less expensive or even a sort of gift thing because my parents were in a book club (that was something that was really widespread in Germany in the '70s; it was done by specific publishers, and you could order bestsellers and stuff like that).

Depends on the language! I'm German, and the German word Ungeziefer invokes bugs for me, while vermin invokes rodents.

I enjoyed it, but I loved Thunderbolts more. That film moved me like no Marvel movie has done pretty much since Iron Man.
