Sweetie did you read the part about being transfem? I ~~do~~drink coke, not beer ;)

You make some good points.

try to use public transport as primary means, but use the car instead if it's not viable or the difference would be big

I agree with you, thanks for improving my 'rule' :)

Really the only justification for a car is when you have kids. I have 3 of them, and a car is super super useful. But yeah, for everyone else, use public transport.

Why scare quotes? I lived in Düsseldorf back in '90 (go alts - that was the name of my school team, and yes it was sponsored by Alt bier 🍺... different times), it's always been one of Germany's more clean cut, upmarket cities, but this picture makes me want to go back and check it out again.

Then again, I'm a queer transfem and I'm in BERLIN, THE QUEER CAPITAL OF THE WORLD. Düsseldorf is in the last instance just meh.

For the first time?

Really bugs me too. It's vulgar and mean-spirited. I say this as a transfem who is an explicit target of discriminatory republican policies.

Making fun of someone because they're old is unacceptable. That's civility 101, if you claim to be a democrat and do this kind of thing you're a fraud imho

The same people who've been complaining for four decades about things like erosion of due process and weak and unpredictable property rights go ahead and change birth certificates retroactively, creating chaos, confusion, and bureaucracy.

How these lunatics think they're serving the interests and needs of the kids is beyond me. It's so mean-spirited and eigenharming.

Who needs color anyway? A black laser printer is the way to go :)
