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. 😅
“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).

I just learned the word ‘truancy’ and the first sentence on Wikipedia makes me want to puke:
“Truancy is any intentional, unjustified, unauthorised, or illegal absence from compulsory education.”
Is it the civilized world’s obligation to help Afghanis?

So I’ve been hovering between 510 and 520 followers for about a year now, I think.
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.
