I'm loving this Video about my language so much, since I found it back then, watching it repeatedly specifically the part about Schadenfreude.😁😅

Why Germans Can Say Things No One Else Can

youtu.be/dH1SvGMY4Qs

German is a wonderfully inventive and bold language, full of gloriously long compound words for emotions and ideas that most languages struggle to allow us to express.

#Moskau hat mit #Schadenfreude auf die Konfrontation zwischen Donald #Trump und Wolodymyr #Selenskyj am Freitag im Weißen Haus reagiert.

Der ehemalige russische Präsident Dmitri #Medwedew, jetzt stellvertretender Vorsitzender des russischen Sicherheitsrates, nannte Selenskyj ein "unverschämtes Schwein", das "im Oval Office eine ordentliche Ohrfeige erhalten" habe.

Wenn die #USA (als stärkerer Partner) das nicht wieder geradebiegen, gibt es endgültig keine Zweifel mehr.

I don't follow them, I'm not a nut, but I was Today Years Old when I found out Don JR cheated on Kimberly Guilfoyle with a "socialite," and they called off their engagement and broke up. lol

It brought me delight. #schadenfreude

The best is yet to come.

"In the days after Donald Trump Jr. was seen holding hands with Florida socialite Bettina Anderson, PEOPLE has learned that he and fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle have broken up"

and this,

"Kimberly Guilfoyle often referred to Trump Jr. as her 'soulmate.' The couple split as photos surfaced of her fiance kissing socialite Bettina Anderson."

Today’s dose of #schadenfreude is that according to FT analysis, Deutsche Bahn performs worse on punctuality than Avanti West Coast, the UK’s least punctual train operating company.

Things have gotten so bad the Swiss are stopping some DB trains at the border to prevent knock on delays.

And the solution proposed? A UK-style trail/train operator split, the likes of Railtrack which failed in 2000 after insolvency following the Hatfield crash. Yikes.

Nope. My empathy cup is dry. Trump voters don't get to be surprised...
...but now you get to ponder in unemployment how you yourself got classified as some of that govt waste you hate, right?

✅ Laid-off IRS employee said he had voted for Trump: "I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason."

CNN · White House says it will cancel $8 million in Politico subscriptions after a false right-wing conspiracy theory spreadsBy Liam Reilly

Someone, real miserable people, esp to me, in real life is having their ultimate #FAFO moment (not related to politics) after ignoring and mocking our advice over and over again and I thought for sure it would end up being a #schadenfreude event but it's just a pitiful unnecessary set of events. No Schadenfreude.

Now, Penny and I are expected to pull them out of the ashes and 6 months ago it would have been something we would have considered, esp before Penny's heart attack and when the economy and our finances were better and more assured, but now, we must be firm. (Penny and I are in unison)

They mocked the FAFO warnings and now must live with the FAFO fallout. We're not able to go down with their ship. The events were totally preventable and foreseeable.

For a year or two, I figured there would be some Schadenfreude. I guess, in this instance, I am a better person than I thought I was.🤭 I thought at least, this would be an #AITA for enjoying it but no, no pleasure, just pity.
