@JKxZ I get this.
I was in the MAGA Republican bubble. Some very dedicated friends helped me eventually get out of it.
My family is still in it, and they've gotten so hateful, sometimes even towards me because I left.
It's really hard to deal with it all and I'm ashamed to say I was a part of it.
I've been posting a lot about what it's like inside the red bubble and "information prison" and the algorithms that reinforce it.
I keep trying with my family, because if I don't, who will?
@MindfulWilliam Rocks are great conversationalists, they don't say much, but they know how to listen and not judge. π
Omg. What a day. I'm exhausted and tired.π
This afternoon, I was helping put up rock wall for a small flower garden. I enjoy the work but he doesn't speak much of any English and his wife usually does all the translating and direction, but she had a family thing to do and ran off.
So me and this guy are trying to communicate like exaggerating mimes to figure out what I needed to do.
If you had saw two of us you'd think we were two raving lunatics in a field arguing with rocks. π
Time to go back to work, CoSo!
We'll meet again, soon! π

@DallasBarnett If it's that crazy, I might not make it home for Christmas. π
@DallasBarnett Scandalous! And temptational! π
@Dogofalltrees There's always a first time! I mean, you never know, the experience might save your life someday!
You can never know when you'll find yourself suddenly strapped to a pair of high heels and have to escape a blade wielding maniac in slow motion across wet grass.
@Dogofalltrees Anyone who has ever walked on a lawn with heels on would know how dangerous a soft, woodland forest floor would be. π
@vivelafranz What do you enjoy about Berlin nightlife?
@Autumn Is there anywhere you'd recommend?
@DallasBarnett I've never experienced much of Berlin, but do tell. π
@Dogofalltrees At the rate we are going, we'll be lucky to get the future that was envisioned in Red Dwarf.
@vivelafranz Nowhere is boring when you meet the right people! π
It's break time, CoSo! π
This is my last week of work exchange in Germany and I have mixed feelings.
Do I stay in Germany for an extra week after this and explore the city/night life, which I haven't had any time to do, or do I leave for Luxembourg where I've never been before?
I can't decide, so it's up to you now. π
Friends...
There was a show made in Canada a few years back called The Red Green Show. If you've heard of it, great. If you've not, it is good clean comedy. I grew up watching it. It lasted for 300 episodes.
It is also all available by Steve Smith, the comedian who plays Red Green, on youtube.
The first episode

Enjoy.

@DarksideStraxus The richer you are the less you are held accountable.
Trump is rich enough to pay off anyone he has to, and dirty enough to blackmail the ones who refuse to be paid off.
I don't believe he's going to see jail.
It's probably the one thing my MAGA family is right about when it comes to Trump, that he won't see prison.
@Willowy RVing is amazing!
But careful! You might get bitten by the RV travel bug! π
