I don't know if an undersea eruption is on the way, but it's a LOT of seismic activity and not where we were all expecting things to happen.
Wrote a postcard in French for a French friend recently and it was weird how much came back to me. I had to look up a couple of vocab words and verb conjugations, plus whether to use "pendant" or "depuis", but otherwise it was okay?
I am sure my French pal will criticise every mistake though 😁

A Discord scammer messaged me with this:
I wanted to let you know that I had your account mass reported for financial scams and fraud... I just got off with the support after trying to resolve this on my own, but apparently they said that you need to contact them as well that's why I am telling you right now. They were talking about some verification stuff, can I show you the email so you can contact the assigned support about the situation?
I proceeded to report their message, then mock them a bit before blocking the account.
Just wanted to put their script out there for others to find via search engine in the future.

If Germans own #Hitler - and we obviously do - then Americans definitely own #Trump .
Saying: "I didn't vote for him!" Is no longer enough. Now the question is: "Do you comply, or do you resist?"
The Germans who grew up after WWII also asked these questions to the generations of their parents and grandparents... and the latter often failed to have good answers.
Looks like I'm getting into the badge making business. I'm getting a badge maker, just so I can make some Night Gardener, Outie, Innie and other silly Severance things I can design and print, since it's woefully under represented out there.
