How to be King of Britain 101. Catholic people please don't be offended. Thank you. Yeah, well England, if not its rarely used laws, is religiously tolerant these days. For example, Charles, Prince of Wales, said he wants to change the traditional title, Fidei defensor (defender of the faith) to defender of faith (so he can protect all faiths, apparently) So yeah, I think a Catholic heir would have a chance in the present day situation. Maybe. |

Random;
Is anyone else also into ww2 medals (specifically German ones)?
I started following Instagram accounts of these medals (some also share historical pictures of events and such) but I like the medals a bit more.
And yes, liking Nazi German war medals (like the Eisernes Kreuz/ Iron Cross) does NOT mean liking that country. There's a difference.
Slightly related but I feel bad for the poor accounts who have to write this line in every post. Like I just did.

Haha "iron cross is prussian"
I remember a troll claiming Nazis were christian because the German military in ww2 used the phrase Gott Mit Uns (god with us)
I would say ignoring, but he was obviously ignorant of the fact that the German military had always used that slogan, and the Kingdom of Prussia had since the 1700s.
Heck, there is a Sabaton song set in 1631.

Fun Fact I didn't mention: I once read a book based in early post war africa if Germany won world war 2. Near the end of the book, a Nazi officer goes to purge an old German General. They have a discussion, and the German general mentions how the army has a motto: Gott Mit Uns. The nazi is amused. |

Anyone else have one of those days where 1 shot of coffee seemed like it would be enough, but then you're at home virtually crying and stressed to death? Yeah that's basically me....

I'm having the day when you come back home, post your RP game turn and then while drinking juice you wonder about your future. Yeah, that's me |

Oh yeah, been there... sound like a normal Tuesday for me though. On particularly bad Mondays, however... even ten shots of espresso injected directly into my veins like heroin does absolutely nothing to solve the problem(s) sitting on my desk. Maybe it helps a bit if it blurs one's vision by caffeine overdose? I kid... I hate coffee to the point where I would rather drink corn syrup instead (some energy drinks are nearly exactly that). |

Start with a Latte, and slowly climb towards Espresso. In the end, you can have Turkish Coffee |
