I love, that the meme used the actual picture of a German fairytale.

Its called “The Dreadful Story Of Pauline And The Matches” - “Die gar traurige Geschichte mit dem Feuerzeug”

… But Pauline would not take advice, She lit a match, it was so nice! It crackled so, it burned so clear,– Exactly like the picture here. She jumped for joy and ran about, And was too pleased to put it out. …

Now see! oh, see! a dreadful thing! The fire has caught her apron string: Her apron burns, her arms, her hair; She burns all over, everywhere. …

Pauline was burnt with all her clothes, And arms and hands, and eyes and nose; Till she had nothing more to lose Except her little scarlet shoes; And nothing else but these was found Among her ashes on the ground. And when the good cats sat beside The smoking ashes, how they cried, “Me-ow, me-o! Me-ow, me-oo! What will Mamma and Nursey do?” Their tears ran down their cheeks so fast They made a little pond at last.

Na jetzt hast du mir auch Angst gemacht. Super, danke.

Tea is simpler in preparation

Since I started drinking matcha, I disagree.

In my childhood teas were all named with colours. Mostly black, red and green. Green being mint and red fruity teas.

I recently discovered cold brew coffee for myself (bought a cold brew jug on a whim at TJmaxx as one does) and I love how the coffee just doesn’t have any bitterness anymore. The slow stewing in cold water really pulls out the flavour without the acidity.

Found the Brit.

I don’t think that is a general rule. Many people drink only black tea in the morning.

I never understood why it has to be one or the other.

Sometimes I prefer coffee, sometimes some green tea in the morning, sometimes a cup of matcha if I’m feeling fancy. A cup of lavender tea with honey in the evening can be pure bliss, but an Italian affogado (espresso with vanilla icecream) in the afternoon can also be really perfect.

Btw it is also possible to like cats AND dogs.

I’m sorry, you are going through this. When believe systems and religion comes into it, something that can’t be reasoned with or logically worked through, it all becomes so much more complicated.

I’m happy for you, that you both seem to be committed to work through it and I hope you eventually find a place between you, that you can be both happy and fulfilled with.

You are doing great. Keep going. Don’t forget you are worthy of your happiness. Don’t let the hard parts of life dimm your shine. You are strong, you are beautiful, you are loved.

Do you think your wife refuses to use your preferred pronouns, because it forces her to re-assess her own sexuality?

Even if your partner is supportive otherwise, unless they are bi or pansexual to beginn with, I can imagine, that this is a difficult part when your straight relationship suddenly changes into a queer one or vice versa over your partners transition.

The worst is, that she feels validated in her hateful opinions by the money she makes.

As a cis female rape survivor I would choose the care of a compassionate trans woman over a judgemental TERF anytime!

Could the witch woman please shut up.

They were hungarian jews and got separated during the war. If I remember right, the husband survived Mauthausen.

But ‘unheard of’ is quite exaggerated. While many people were left without surviving family, there were still many who found parts of their family and partners again after the war.

I read an interesting memoir about a couple who survived the holocaust together deciding to die together in the end. Written by their granddaughter.

An Exclusive Love by Johanna Adorján

I use my smartphone to keep my book open when reading at a table. It does a pretty good job there.

Don’t limit yourself to technical uses.

It’s like accepting of the fact that your police is incompetent. They either shoot everyone or let someone else shoot everyone. That’s not doing their job as police.

Victim blaming. Classy.

You should have asked for bavarian cards/ bayrische Karten and they would have probably known. They are not widely used in the north though.

So, you would play Rommy or Canasta with the German cards?
