Yeah, I had to check that it was a real image

I don’t think so! Your posts are interesting

The one who was a chemist did, but probably because of her own exposure. The other one lived to 102

Ich bin halt auch von Natur aus ein Lauch, durch’s Kiffen dann halt noch mehr.

Irgendwie scheint es, als ob der Körperbau einfach extremer durch das Kiffen- man wird entweder sehr schlank oder nimmt viel zu

Various ways, really. People ask me to please not shoot up the university here; they say that I’m probably used to [the sound of a car backfiring] because I went to school in the US; they remark that kids these days are impolite, but at least they don’t shoot up schools like where I’m from; they ask if my backpack is bulletproof.

Yeah. To be totally fair, it’s not a lot of people percentage wise, but it’s a lot of jokes for me to experience because I work at a busy bakery, and chat with easily a hundred people in a shift. I probably get ~10 casual jokes about mass shootings in a week, most of which are about schools, but not all.

It happens more in social gatherings like larger parties or when playing with strangers at a game store, but I can push back more there, so it’s not as bothersome.

As an American living in Germany: I won’t say any of that if you please just stop joking about school shootings to me in every context.

A) I’m clearly okay living in a scenario where guns are more restricted, and

B) I’m from not too far away from sandy hook (elementary school, 2012, ~25 kids and teachers died, the first one Alex jones convinced people was fake), and know multiple families who lost a child to it- your edgy joke just brought them to mind at eight am at work. It’s fucking tragic and I can’t laugh about it- the only reason you can is that it’s not real to you.

I have no context for what meatbox and ab pack mean, but given multiple options, I don’t think there’s a chance in the world that I would have matched those two terms, lol.

Depending on the community near you, Unitarian Universalists sometimes have basically that. I’ve been an atheist since I was four, but I have no problem with other people being religious and it was perfect for me. If you’re the type to be annoyed by people talking about the universe in a way that suggests the supernatural, you might not want to deal with even the UU’s very mild language. When I went as a kid, we learned about volcanoes in Sunday School, as a gauge for how religious they are.

Or if you want evil church without religion, can I interest you in crossfit?

Plus she “rented” it to family whom she regularly stayed with!

Charles as well. Charlie, chuck, or Chaz?

I’ve heard of ass burgers before…

Yeah, my internet usage is mostly fediverse, word games, and ao3, none of which were affected

They didn’t praise him exactly, they said he was a bad person who did great things. They just didn’t go into detail about the horrific things he also did.

The first conflict began when one group entered the empty house of a merchant of Þingeyri and stole some dried fish. As retaliation, on the night of October 5th, a group of Icelanders entered the hut where the Spaniards were sleeping and killed 14 of them.

Holy proportional response, Batman. I get that it was a bad year for harvest, so stealing some dried fish could have led to deaths as well, but it still feels a little overkill

Werthers original are German candies, and I’ve definitely heard jokes about old people liking them (or campino Früchte, or something similar) in Germany. Root beer is a North American thing though

I learned in the US that he was a mixed bag, but no specifics, until I took a history class in Spanish in college. It could be the language difference or the fact that it wasn’t a Catholic school (edit: or honestly, it could have been that instructors are less likely to get angry calls about nightmares in college), but that’s the first place that we got accurate information about him.

We read his journals, which should be possible with a B2 Spanish (but I suspect Italian would also help, because Columbus was pretty confused about Spanish/italian/portuguese and the journals have a lot of idiosyncratic vocabulary), and they’re stomach turning. He was a fucking monster.

Then it would smell like vanilla

Reading books, writing, doing crafts, going on walks, hanging out with pets, gardening, doing chores, cooking, making art, looking at the stars…

Oh thank god
