So are the pro-choice, pro-vaccine-mandate folks – the conflict goes both ways. Also, being anti vaccine mandate != being anti vaccine.

Was Bretzeln mit Sandwiches zu tun haben weiss ich allerdings nicht. 😅

@dchackethal · · Show · Open on Twitter

@VariantenGra

"Bretzel" scheint eine Mischung aus dem deutschen 'Brezel' und dem englischen 'Pretzel' zu sein.

'uber' heisst so viel wie 'mega' oder 'total'. (Beispiel: 'He's uber jealous.') Kenne ich eigentlich nur als Adverb. Der Umlaut soll's vielleicht exotischer aussehen lassen.

Apparently these are made specifically for sleeping: quieton.com/shop/ref/14/

They're tiny in comparison and look really promising. But last time I checked they shipped them from Finland which adds regulatory burdens (customs).

Observation: A bigger account retweets me and I get 10 to 20 new followers in a day. Over time, the new followers notice I tweet anti-covid-tyranny, anti-woke, anti-climate-change things etc (generally more right-wing tweets) and they unfollow me.
