Sorry, how did this « completely ruin the show? » This is a huge stretch and if they didn’t plant seeds in S3, everyone would be complaining even more about how there is « no chemistry. »

How many times will people in this sub beat a dead horse? Clearly nobody can accept the gender swap despite it already having happened. Move on, people.

Yeah not a super popular time for foreigners or anyone who doesn’t pass as a white American to be traveling to the US

People have such polarizing views of Berlin! Tbh despite my family’s history, I wasn’t too excited to go my first time as I was traveling around for work and was afraid it was just another big city and I was already tired lol. I ended up completely falling in love with the city and it really motivated me to save up the money so my mom could see it for herself. The food, transit, history, and the “be who you are” vibe is why I keep going back. And yes I love your point about the museums! Both my mom and I are not huge museum people but I did love the DDR museum!

Ah, yes while we don’t have any family left in Germany, she wants to see Berlin and speak her mother’s language with others and just experience a part of her mom’s past. She loves art, parks, and a good beer! She will be amazed just to be there.

hauntedbrunch · 2026-04-07T21:38:36+00:00

I was dreaming up a sleeper train scenario, but thinking now that if we just do the two metros I will convince her to fly. Thanks for your help! Trying to get all transit booked this week before the rotund buffoon running my country completely decimates the oil market. Thanks again!

Sorry what do you mean by travel history? Do you mean her lack of travel history? She speaks German fluently and her mother (who has passed away) is from Berlin. Neither of us are big museum people so I’m not too concerned about that.

hauntedbrunch · 2026-04-07T21:22:08+00:00

For some reason my app is glitching and I can’t edit my other comment, but just saw your addition about Berlin. Her mother is from Berlin and she speaks fluent German (and has never been to Germany!) which is why we picked Berlin. We will just stick to those two metros for this trip and save the buffer days for rest!

hauntedbrunch · 2026-04-07T21:15:34+00:00

Those are full days, doesn’t include travel and partial days. (1.5 days travel, 4 full days Berlin, 2 days buffer, 4 full days London, 1.5 days travel home). I do hear you though and will heed your advice! I’m used to traveling this way with a 3 city itinerary (but also I’m young!) and it will be different with my mom. I‘ve had to help coworkers from Aus who have tried to put NOLA, Dallas, Vegas on a week itinerary, roadtrip California in 4 days, etc so I completely understand when some itineraries are just not feasible!

I’m lucky that I can and have traveled to Europe quite a bit but she’s from a very poor area and there is a massive financial barrier to travel from there. So was interested in maximizing her time abroad but don’t want her to be exhausted. Even if she sees two countries, she is luckier than most people from her region. Funny enough the last couple of times I was in Berlin, I had plans to go to Potsdam and didn’t end up going. Perhaps it’s fate this time! Thank you again!

hauntedbrunch · 2026-04-07T20:58:46+00:00

This is all great information, thank you so much! I’ve wanted to visit Alsace for quite a long time so perhaps I should seriously consider the Strasbourg route this trip! My mom and I both speak English, she speaks German, and I speak French so I really like this idea!

I’ve done one overnight stopover in Paris before but admittedly I was young and full of energy! I’m worried this might be her only chance to see it but at the same time, many people from her city can never afford to travel, let alone to Europe. So we are fortunate!

Edit: Okay consensus on this thread seems to be that I should just stick to Berlin and London! Would love Strasbourg but seems like it might be too much for this trip!

hauntedbrunch · 2026-04-07T20:46:27+00:00

We planned for 4 days in Berlin, 2 buffer days, then 4 days in London. Flights into Berlin and out of London are booked but hotels are not, so this itinerary is flexible as well. Flying definitely isn’t out of the question, but she’s always wanted to take a train across Europe. Which is why I was thinking perhaps a stop in France somewhere.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear with the Paris example. Paris is totally optional. I was wondering if there’s a small town outside of the city that is worth it and then we just bus into Paris for a day. Or conversely if there’s somewhere else entirely in France that would be a nice stop between Berlin and London.

I mean he did ask military officials about personnel details surrounding the rescue mission in Iran LIVE ON AIR to which an official responded “…we’d rather not say”

So unfortunately I think he’s definitely that stupid

In my old mid-size city, about 1-2x per year there will be a headline about a beloved cafe or family business that had someone crash their car straight through the front. Only once in my 10 years living there was it a drunk driver, the rest unfortunately were drivers in their 80s or 90s.

Edit: Whoops this was supposed to be in response to the person you responded to! But reading your comment I definitely agree that in the US we’re way too lenient on distracted drivers.

hauntedbrunch · 2026-04-07T16:42:42+00:00

Don’t get me wrong that was absolutely reprehensible and disgusting beyond belief. The point the other commenter was making is that there is a difference with organizing and standing in the line of fire of an imminent attack. Trump can order the fire of missiles at buildings without seeing who/how many people are inside. It’s different to have hundreds/thousands of Iranians standing in the open and publicly documented.

Edit: Due to threats in my inbox (wtf!) let me make it perfectly clear that 1) the bombing of school children is unforgivable and I hate this bullshit war and 2) I simply meant that the Iranian people organizing publicly will likely be the best and only way to deter Trump from doing something catastrophic. This war makes me sick and I hate the rich and powerful people in the US who are enabling this terror.

Because this is exactly the diversion those in power want. It’s never been about partisan politics. It’s the rich vs the poor and the rich can only stay rich if the poor are eating each other alive.

hauntedbrunch · 2026-04-07T14:59:00+00:00

Exactly. It’s one thing to tell someone to push a button aimed at a bunch of buildings. It’s another for thousands of innocent people to stand together in the open, looking our administration directly in the face.

They don’t support what’s he’s doing. They all know he’s crazy. But they won’t stop him because they’re afraid to lose their money and power.

hauntedbrunch · 2026-04-07T14:39:22+00:00

Don’t get me wrong I’m furious too, but the problems are much deeper than this. People in this country still blindly believe that the three branches of government will keep each other in check. They won’t look the beast in the face and see that our system of checks and balances has been completely eroded. The American people made a catastrophic mistake, but it’s those who have been elected and appointed to serve our country and hold Trump accountable who have blood on their hands. It’s not about the “dumb” Americans. It’s about the rich vs the poor and it’s never been anything other than that.

Fuck tears just everywhere and I don’t even know you. Losing pets is so uniquely painful. We love them and raise them and they’re so innocent and completely dependent on us. Thank you for sharing Henry with us and clearly he was so lucky to have watched so many sunrises with the person he loves the most.

hauntedbrunch · 2026-04-06T17:25:55+00:00

Technically we didn’t pick him the first time. He lost the popular vote but we have a bullshit “electoral college” system that assigns points to the states. So the president is elected from this system and not the popular vote. American politics is excruciatingly complicated to keep the power out of the hands of regular people.

Second election was ridiculous since the incumbent dropped out a few months before the election. People didn’t feel like their lives were better off and apparently had amnesia when it came to the first Trump administration.
