A Latin motto of non-classical origin, not very common here. It brings to mind the phrase of Terence: "aliis si licet, tibi non licet." No wonder, nothing new under the sun: a double moral present in all times and places. Those with money, power and celebrity are allowed what the common man is denied.
A fond greeting. 😉

Recently I was reflecting on how fortunate you are to have been born in a nation that has produced so many great and wonderful novelists, philosophers, thinkers, etc.: this is a result of the seriousness of the German spirit. Over here, where it is always carnival, laughing, enjoying and lazing around, it could not happen. But we have other virtues: ❤️

Unfortunately I have to leave now.
And unfortunately (stupid copyright laws: I have the original BD) I didn't find a better instance on [YouTube] Amadeus. Italians don't know about love… at least for Italian operas. Can't stop laughing.
"Stupid fat couples rolling their eyes about, that's not love, it's rubbish!"

About Germany: It's broken beyond repair. Nothing left of the "country of poets and thinkers". Ruled by idiots, dying out, defective school system, infrastructure collapsing, material wealth going down the drain. In a few years I guess this whole country will be a criminal no-go area.

    Stubbs is a pretty damn good sauce that I think you'll find on most grocery shelves as I don't think it's regional
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Best bbq sauce I've ever bought on a grocery store shelf
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    smokey flavor that reminds me of beef jerkey on top of a really rich kind of bbq sauce. Heat level that is a nice zing, not overwhelming, but it tingles all the way down your throat

    I was like is this the way out, oh probably there's a giant exit sign
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    We all should have free health, dental, vision care, and make the college kids pay for the schooling, f that college forgiveness plan our govt doing now, its really not fair for all others in the past that had to pay for they're schooling anyways (like me, with 2 kids I paid to send to college in the past)

    True, very true
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I think we should outlaw healthcare entirely because the fact that people can get healthcare today is unfair to those in the past that couldn't

    Howdy @mthrnite , great to see you :D

    hola mi hermano
  • cearp @ cearp:
    @Sicklyboy - the comparison would be forgiving all medical debt, not making healthcare illegal!
  • cearp @ cearp:
    Although I still don't agree, medical debt is rarely a choice, whereas enrolling in university is certainly a choice
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    we need more smart cats tho for reals
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    College costs, college loans, book prices, the entire thing is predatory, oft touted as essential to a successful life for my generation and the ones since, and completely unaffordable without putting you through an insane financial hardship for literal decades in many situations.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Many of the same issues can be seen for the insanely predatory healthcare and health insurance system in the US

    It's important for society to be healthy and educated. If those things can't happen because all of the institutions that prop up those industries make it unattainable for all but a small portion of society, then your society is largely going to be disease ridden, dying, and uneducated in very short order.
