An 87-year-old woman from Lemiers in Limburg who owned substantial real estate in nearby Vaals has left most of it to her tenants in her will.

According to the Telegraaf, Anneliese Houppermans, who earned her money from a successful fruit and vegetable business, owned several houses in the community. She never married or had children, and her ties to her family had faded over the years.

    re: Tankies: I’m 90% sure that’s part of the inexperienced and immature crowd; they - like the vegans and the anti-renting crowd - all have super tunnel vision. Zero nuance or discussion. They fixate on one point to the exclusion of any sanity (which is heavily a spectrum symptom).

    HOWEVER, I should add in my rant, there is one other odd / good thing about Lemmy: significantly higher ratio of non-Americans. More language/ communication barriers I’ve encountered from it, and they are still mostly the aforementioned groups - but hey, not 99% Americans here.

    re: Asperger’s: heh, I get you. Honestly, imo: own it. Like the LGBT crowd taking the word “gay” back, I see no problem with “Aspys” reclaiming Aspergers.

      I hope you’re right with the Tankies, and yeah, I’m not really going to let anyone take an identity/descriptor from me with my own autism, even if the people attempting to do so are also on the spectrum. I never noticed the ratio difference of Americans to Non Americans, although I guess as a Canadian I’m not sure where I fall on that ratio xD

      I dunno if I have much further to add in this conversation, I mostly just wanted to respond to show I’ve read and appreciated your own input!
