Middle-aged and extremely menopausal. Surprised myself by getting a new job spring 2024 - still loving it.
Politically I'm left of centre (nick-name in school as given me by my English teacher: the communist - it stuck among my peers).

Static hair-day. This is what happens when the travel bag is very plasticky. 😁
Poor puppy.

So, somebody managed to get up to the clock tower of Votivkirche in Vienna and hoisted the Palestinian flag there. People here are screaming their heads off, and the ugly fear of immigrants, of Muslims in particular, is rearing its ugly head.
What do you think? Good? Bad? Right? Wrong?

It’s here! Though I was given the opportunity to read it in digital format before publication, I just love books. And it was also lovely to read the short foreword:
To all who have lost someone.
This story is for you.

People are so easily offended these days. That's why I only ever make jokes at the expense of white men, whose thick skins and calmly rational attitudes make them impossible to upset.

To me, this is AI. This is all it is.
- Mike’s mum had four kids. Three of them are Luise Drake and Matilda. What is the name of the fourth kid? - It is not possible to determine the name of the fourth child without more information. - The answer is in the question. - I apologise for the confusion. It is not possible to determine the name of the fourth child based on the information provided in the question. The question states that Mike‘s mother had four children and that three of them are named Luise Drake and Matilda, but it does not provide a name for the fourth child.

I guess they got too close to the truth. No error.
No, don’t apologise. Never apologise to a bully.

I don't understand racism. I know I still have a lot to learn about my own prejudices, but I don't understand why the process itself is even a question.

I just had this conversation with Klarna. I've never signed up for an account with them, but am forced to use their site to make online payments for online purchases from H&M. Which in turn means AN ACCOUNT WAS CREATED, though I did not actively do anything to set one up.
Hi, I'm trying to find the IBAN for H&M Klarna so I can pay my bill./.../ K Hi there. Thank you for contacting Klarna. My name is Zacharias and i will be assisting you today. Could you please confirm your country of residence? Me Austria /.../ K Thank you for providing the requested information. Could you please confirm if you are attempting to make a manual payment using the Klarna IBAN number for an outstanding payment due from Zara?. Me H&M, as mentioned above. I have a pdf bill which merely states H&M Klarna, but with no IBAN/ bank details. K Thank you for confirming this. To find the IBAN for making a bank transfer to H&M Klarna, please log into your Klarna account and navigate to the payment section for your H&M purchase. The IBAN and other necessary details for making a bank transfer should be available there. If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out. Me I have never been aware of having a separate Klarna account. Is that something one automatically gets signed up for when shopping with an associated business? K Could you kindly confirm whether the purchase in question was made through your company or your personal account? Additionally, please provide your full name, email address, and date of birth so I can look into the matter further. Me No, my question is so simple it does not require you to look into anything where I personally am concerned: When shopping from one of the businesses that utilise your payment services (such as H&M), does one automatically get signed up for a Klarna account? I have never actively signed up for one myself. Merely shopped online from H&M. It's a simple yes/no question which does not require you to have names, DoB or any other information about me or anyone else. K No, shopping from a business that uses Klarna's payment services does not automatically create a Klarna account for you. You would need to actively sign up for a Klarna account to have one.

For any American (as in USA) who believes there to be a far left - think again.
#maga #fascism #gop #democrat #left #right #wiggleyourhips
America (clap) does (clap) not (clap) have (clap) a (clap) far (clap) left (clap) movement (clap). Our far-right are fascists. Our center-right are extremist nationalists. Our center-left are classical conservatives. Our far left are moral centrist moderates. Any objective political compass would place politicians like Sanders or Warren barely left of center. A real far-leftist movement would be advocating for forced property seizure by the working-class. Instead our far-left is like "don't let people die in medical poverty, please".

Don't for a minute think that the protests on 18th October will lead to tRump being deposed. The protests will have to be much bigger, and election results beyond doubt. It's really only the beginning. I fear Americans will see violence before this is over. #nokings #usa #gop

“Don’t tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers. The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country; the Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; the Financial Times is read by the people who own the country; the Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country, and the Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.”

No, I have no faith in Israel. Or Hamas. As long as there is no attempt at changing core beliefs about the ‘other’ there will be no lasting peace in the Middle East.

The tourist sector in Vienna offers very emotional round-trips.
Tbh, I never know if Austrians are exceedingly clever and this sort of thing is tongue-in-cheek and totally intentional.
