Make Steingärten Alda. Just need some Goldrand-Servierteller vom Trödler, arrange some ethically sourced rocks on there, and add a lil Steinbrech / Sempervivum from your local Schotterparkplatz / Straßenrand / Felswand. I don't even know how those things do it, I have them on all my Fensterbretter and they just keep on trucking through the Mördersommer no fucks given. No watering no nothing required. I've acquired three varieties so far. They're really cute and if you can find pretty rocks it rocks.

On one hand, I kind of hate this new trend of phrasing all pandemic related articles as "some TOTAL IDIOTS are DENYING SCIENCE and BEING UNREASONABLE, but if we try to make sense of their deluded bleating we may interpret it as expressing some valid concerns, which they only have because they don't understand the following truth: ..."
On the other hand, if this makes "not traveling far" and "working from home" into markers of high status and good breeding, I guess I don't mind. More people should do that anyway.

I don't think we should judge people by any "markers of high status and good breeding" but instead treat them as inherently bullshit no matter along which lines they're drawn.

e: except of course the number of balconies within your domain

e2: unclear if I think we should treat people or status markers as inherently bullshit but y'know what, either way

Anecdotally, some people with a large-ish home/Wohnung with a garden and balcony (aka people in jobs with "high status") have found out that it is actually really comfortable to work from home and are looking to continue to do that. They are even figuring out that if they can get other people to work from home instead of in the office, they can actually save a lot of money by renting smaller offices.

Super great for those people, but it seems like it would put all the responsibility of setting up a work area that is conductive to working and conforms to Arbeitsschutzbestimmungen and whatnot on the shoulders of people who already lack the means to do so.

I agree. I can barely contain my disgust whenever I have to interact with a cashier. Why can't those low-bred poors work from home like me, a superior being?

Oh, definitely a problem. Like I said - working from home can be great if you have the room for it. If you don't, it can suck.

Depends on how you define "common rabble". There are some Feinkostläden with a setup similar to Edeka, but you won't see the common Lidler there.

I wish it wasn't, after being on furlough every two weeks for months and from June on being on furlough every odd week, I now see every Feiertag as "poo poo-now-my-work-grows-even-more-and-I-can't-do-anything"-day.

On the other hand, I finally did my taxes for 2017-2019, which I'd planned to do for years now, but always managed to put off with some creative excuses ("not enough time", "too exhausted today, maybe later", you know the drill). And of course if you read closely, you notice how avoiding to do my taxes got easier with each year I successfully put it off, because it obviously added more work I didn't want to do!

Anyway, thanks to us being forced to plan out our holidays at the start of the year, before all of this happened, I also have Tuesday free. So I'll be working three days, and then I'll be send back home for another full week.

Welp, at least this way I can hopefully put more work into my novels. Or play more Stellaris. Wish me luck in fighting my addiction!

Less heartwarming is watching the US descent into fascism. Trump isn't even dictator yet and every bit of news from over there is awful and vile.
