I would say some do, some don't, same as with other women. I get were the sentiment is coming from, but I'm always a bit cautious about putting pressure on people with things like that. There is no need to enrich anything to be welcome, just do your thing.

Ah thanks, I always wondered why I can see some images but not others.

You're quitting early. That's not even half the fun of predecimal British currency. There is so much more:

Edit: Well, that didn't work. Let me see, if I can fix it.

Edit2: or maybe it did? I can see the image in the browser, just not in the app. Here is the link, in case someone else can't see it: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a4/British_predecimal_currency.svg

Anne of Green Gables is one of my favourite comfort novels. It just instantly takes me to a happy place. Somewhere on the internet, I once saw Anne described as

a red-haired, freckle-faced orphan who faces the world with nothing but the sheer force of her personality

which summarises it very well.

If anyone is interested in checking it out, I cannot recommend this LibriVox recording by Karen Savage enough.

It says "on soft sweetened bread". So it's basically a sponge cake in sandwich shape?

Vor allem weil ihre großen Vorbilder aus der Vergangenheit gar nicht so unwahrscheinlich wirklich dafür gewesen wären.

Vielleicht bist du da was auf der Spur und um heute was zu bewegen, sollten wir diese Botschaften verbreiten:

Hitler würde mehr Wind- und Solarparks bauen!

Oder auch: Hitler war Vegetarier!

Oooh, I never noticed that difference, just remembered there being a timestamp. TIL, thanks.

Are we sure they would be upset? I can kinda see my cat reading it, turning to stare directly at me and then slowly but deliberately climbing in.

Maybe it was shared through an app. If I share a YouTube video from NewPipe, by default it will add the time code to the URL.

Ich hab auf einem allgemeinbildenden Gymnasium Physik als Leistungskurs genommen und du willst gar nicht wissen, wie oft ich mich allein schon dafür rechtfertigen musste. Obwohl ich eine der besten im Kurs war.

Hätte ich im Realschulabschlussalter entscheiden müssen, auf welche Art Gymnasium ich gehe, hätte ich niemals den Mut gehabt, so gegen alle gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen zu gehen und auf ein Informationstechnisches Gymnasium zu gehen.
