Why doesn’t this surprise me.

And here we are in Germany trying our best to stop fascism, millions of people on the streets.

Barbaric.

I’m waiting for the witch trials to restart in the US.

Yeah, us evil, evil Germans … lol

Please educate yourself: There are rightwing tendencies even in your country, but they’re coloured differently.

If you’d take a closer look at world politics you’d find that there is an alarming trend concerning exactly this.

Best example would be Italy - they’ve just elected a right-wing party and all hells breaking loose as they’ve started restructuring the social security system over there, leaving many, many families moneyless. Without any warning in advance. And that’s just the start.

China is still on with their genocide - the Uigur must die it seems, no matter what. There’s still concentration camps.

I could go on for hours.

But yeah. You’re right. Us Germans are notorious and blind towards our history.

Yup, they glue themselves to the streets, blocking the traffic.

We are expected to respect local culture when we visit islamic countries. Although I’m all for self-expression and freedom I can’t see why France is making a mistake here.

Knitting. Only handdyed yarns, which are costly. And of course you need ALL colours. And only the most luscious fibres and yarns.

I’ve resorted to dyeing yarn myself - which opened up another deep, deep rabbit hole.

And a business.

True. But not possible for everyone. Hence the millions of therapists out there being busy .

That’s cool. Don’t get me wrong: I’ve had not one but two very mediocre experiences with Chinese glasses… One being a titanflex frame for a very good price… but I’ve had a Silhouette Titanflex frame before and the quality of the Silhouette frame was noticeably better. The Chinese Titanflex model lasted me 18 months, the Silhouette Frame 5 years!

The second Chinese frame was kind of a Ray Ban Dupe and well… It did the job but that’s really about it.

I’m coming from a hearing care professional background that also worked with an optician so I learned my share of how to take care of my glasses and how to customize them for myself.

But I don’t want to do it myself abymoreif I can get the service for free just around the corner ;) (I’m not working in the field anymore)

As for production: there’s some German companies who actually are manufacturing in Germany and Europe. So I’m pretty sure my glasses aren’t made in China. The frame I’m wearing is also made in Germany. And my current glasses aren’t even that expensive… I’ve had way more expensive glasses in the past.

I’ve had two pair of glasses from China… and I have to say: never ever again.

I’ve only bought them because money was tight back then… the quality was ok for what I paid but that’s about it.

I like my optician around the corner that’s been there for over 35 years. :) They have glasses priced from around 180€ up to what you’re willing to pay. 😂

I get all the service I need for free there - if something small is broken they fix it immediately and give your glasses a deep clean…

If my money lets me I will always choose to support small businesses.

Wow… You will be much more free… if you pay us…

What.

Dude on the right is a pro

George Michael had an incredible voice and was my singing idol for a long long long time - I’m a contralto so I can’t really sing to a lot of female singers unfortunately… His range and timbre… Just amazing.

It is used in Germany though lol

It was rightwing and fascist… How do you come to the conclusion it had something to do with communism?

The GDR (German Democratic Republic) wasn’t democratic as well. Namen sind Schall und Rauch.

It is Scarry actually

Yeah but it doesn’t work on me… I hardly go there anymore because it is so inconvenient now… For me that is. I’ve spent quite a while every time I went there… Now… Only as long as I have to.

But I get the point - it is supposed to keep you meeting new things you haven’t noticed before…

They’ve rearranged my favourite drugstore and had the audacity to even move the shelves around so some paths are simply blocked now. dramatic sigh

The has happened 6 months ago and I’m still mad.

I’m old.

lol

Awwww <3 that’s something that should be taught at school AND home
