  • In Germany we have…

    Markus Söder, who changes his opinion faster than the wind turns and likes to put his face on anything; Shirts, cups, giant chocolate eggs, you name it. He also was very big on making Bavaria a german Cape Canaveral. No Idea what happened to that. But he is a huge populist, so probably nothing.

    Then there is Friedrich Merz, our soon to be chancellor. He comes off as cold, mysogynist and increadibly out of touch. Under his leadership his party (CDU) has slowly veered to the far right, integrating nazi viewpoints into their programm.

    These two on their own are just right asshats, who can’t compare to Trump’s bullshit (yet), but if you would fuse them together… maybe?












  • but it’s not an ADHD “pick up every hobby” friendly one

    That’s true. I was in luck and there was a blacksmith in town who opens his workshop to kids on occasion or travels to job conventions and brought his tools with him. Maybe there are comparable activities/ offers near you, which I can highly recommend. Not only will you not have to worry about tools and materials, most importantly there will be a “teacher” around.

    If you find something and decide to check it out, have fun! :)


  • Blacksmithing is one of the few hobbies that a guy probably can’t teach his girlfriend because women usually use a different technique to make up for strength differences.

    Me, a woman who tried blacksmithing before: Don’t use spring steel or other metals that are hard to manipulate/hammer into shape when starting off. Don’t start with a sword, start with bending and twisting a nail into… whatever. If they like the hobby they’ll stick to it and the muscle will build over time. And if it doesn’t: power tools.
