You know who also owns dark clothes, goats and a pointy hat?

Esmeralda "Granny" Weatherwax!

Coincidence? I think not!

Spoiler: It's a humorous text

But it's... well it's something...

If I'm elected president, I will…

[...]

Bring on Donald Trump as my apprentice. When my presidential term is complete and he has obtained his black belt, or whichever comes first, he can buy the White House and of course rename it (to, what else, "The Trump House").

Create new immigration legislation: to deport all liberals (then force them to listen to Bill O' Reilly every day for five years, at which point they may return).

If LGBTQ+ people serving to defend Ukraine don't receive better legal standing than they have right now, I would be opposed to letting Ukraine join the EU after the war.

The supposed western values Zelensky claims Ukraine is defending imo. include equal rights for Gender, Romantic and Sexual Minorities (GRSM)

My support during the war though is independent of that. Let Putin eat shit.

What's Russia gonna do? Lose on two fronts instead of just the one?

Christianity is not inherently better than Islam, it just behaves better nowadays.

And the reason it behaves better is not something inherent to christianity, but because it got dragged, kicking and screaming, into the age of enlightenment and beaten up with education, democratisation and secularisation until it had to bend or break and it's adherents decided to bent.

Islam is still more radical because it faced less opposition to it's ideas from within. The islamic world needs it's own age of enlightenment where radical tensions between religion and an educated public reduce the influence of religion on that public.

And I don't think this has much to do with Islam being younger. Islamic natural philosophers are behind some of the most important discoveries in the sciences and the Islamic Golden Age ended around 200 years, before the Renaissance even started.

If the Islamic Golden Age had not declined, today Christianity might have been the more radical religion and we might have seen a mostly secularized islamic world. It is mostly through chance that history unfolded differently. And with Project 2025 in the US, we might still see a return to barbarism and departure from secular enlightenment in the most powerfull nation puppeteered by christian extremists.

THAT is effective camo! It took me minutes wondering how they got the gloves on the photo and removed the arm... until I saw the arm.

Breathing is at least 150k a year, that's more than enough, even after taxes and has me covered when I'm old and can't go for a walk anymore.

I don't need more, I'd rather enjoy my quiet time and taking an walk and standing still for a while at a nice vista, enjoying the view. I don't need the constant chase for money and even more money in my life and the stress of having to keep moving to get even more. When I walk at the beach with my better half, I'd rather think of how nice this is rather than how much this earns me.

Aye, I used to sail the high seas, the hull of my ship gnarly with viruses, adware and malware from some infectious crackers or key-generators.

Then I had money, and started buying my software and my movies and all was good for a time. Then my media consume shifted to mobile devices, but I had Amazon Prime Video as the only really available video-streaming service around and all was good for a time. Then I added Netflix, as it arrived on my countries market and all was good for a time. Then I added Crunchyroll, Disney+ and Hulu and everything sucked, streaming the shows I wanted to watch was suddenly so expensive, no single streaming service had everything I wanted to watch, so I needed to subscribe to them all, costing an amount of money I would not spend on buying those shows.

Now I have unsubscribed from all but two again, but the market is so fractured, there is barely anything interesting on the services I still go to.

So my eyes keep wandering to that old tricorn, the hook and peg-leg, gathering dust on the wall. I can hear the waves crashing and feel the tide rising in my bones. The moneybags have decided to press us for more and more, their greed means no single harbor, not even two are enough to supply our demands. So there is plenty of bounty to be found on the high seas again, big fat galleons full of content otherwise unreachable or too expensive.

Doncha hear it boys? Davey Jones is singing again, calling us back to the sea, put on your VPN, defy the torrents and right your compasses with a good magnet. We did not choose this life, they made us turn to it.

you rip what you saw

reap, you reap what you sow, because if you sow wheat on fertile ground, you can later reap wheat.

16 Jahre... ich bin 40 Jahre alt, 32 davon wurde ich von der CDU regiert. Ganz egal was im Schland falsch läuft, die dürfen sich ALLES davon auf die Fahne schreiben.

  • At the gates - Hey, wie geht's (Hey, how are you?)
  • I believe in miracles - Alle lieben Mirco (Everybody loves Mirco)
  • a deep shade of blue - Dickschädel Blues (Thickheaded blues)
  • the phone rings - da vorne links (ahead on the left)
  • hope of deliverance - Hau auf die Leberwurst (smack the liver-sausage)
  • all my feelings grow - Oma fiel ins Klo (grandma fell into the toilet)
  • Zombie - Zahnweh (Tooth-ache)
  • the word is out - du blöde sau (you stupid pig)
  • Dirty Diana - da geht der Gärtner (there walks the gardener)
  • I'll be gone - Almighurt (german joghurt brand)
  • Your love is like bad medicine - your love is like Bettnässen (bed wetting)
