  • I don’t speak German, but I picked up a few phrases for work. They have a few idioms that I think of sometimes:

    “Ich glaub, ich spinne” which means I think I’m crazy, but literally translates to “I think, I spider.” It’s a great visual metaphor, being overwhelmed by the threads going everywhere that you imagine you’re a spider spinning a web, and also you’ve entirely forgotten grammar.

    “Bahnhof verstehen” or “Ich verstehe nur Bahnhof” means “I understand only the train station.” It’s something you say when you don’t understand anything, you’re completely lost, and you don’t give a shit becaue you just want to get the fuck home.

    I might be off on those translations or the subtext, but that’s how I understood it.



  • I’m so tired of people proclaiming that NOW finally, Trump will see the consequences of his chaotic stupidity and petulant egocentrism!

    No, he’s not going to “find out” anything, because he does not give a fuck who suffers and his supporters will gargle his balls no matter what he does.

    You’re absolutely right about the consequences of this latest crime, except for the part where Trump in any way feels anything negative about the experience.
