idiomaddict,

Someone posted an awful fanfic (? Alternate reality? What’s it called when it’s real life people? Is it just fiction and I am in fact a victim of the brain rot?) with Putin and zelensky, uh, bonding over the shared origins of Vladimir and Volodymir, that I began reading without realizing it wasn’t news until about halfway through when they kissed. (it was copy pasted)

idiomaddict,

It was weirdly well written in a newspaper style at first. I thought it was a bit of a layered conversation about shared heritage at first 🤦

idiomaddict,

If you have an online group to play with, I can’t recommend tabletop simulator enough. You can play anything, but you can also play magic with any deck and no shuffling after purchasing tts once ($40 for 4 copies, so go in with friends).

Both! If you ask directly and they can’t respond directly, move on and let them mature.

idiomaddict,

I think this is the wrong post for your comment.

idiomaddict,

Don’t worry, they haven’t eaten a leader yet

idiomaddict,

It’s a portmanteau of shit cunt, obviously

idiomaddict,

The point is that we don’t know.

idiomaddict,

It says a lot that I had to open the post whether this was spam or next level shitposting

idiomaddict,

For the students or the teachers? Just kidding, there’s a reason nobody drug tests teachers.

And the food (outside of the bread and Sauerkraut) is much less healthy regardless of the weight. Döner and Abendbrot aren’t exactly great for you, with more traditional foods being even worse for you (Klöße, Kartoffelsalat, (Curry-) Würst, Schweinshaxe, Rinderbraten, Schnitzel (don’t @ me), Spargel mit Sauce, Maultaschen, and so on). I love the vegan Maultaschen (raw, fried with onions, and in broth), and every kind of potato, but it’s something I try not to eat regularly (except for the raw vegetable Maultaschen, those are actually pretty good for you, if you don’t find the dough unpleasant). I know modern Germans often eat very differently, and I’m not saying that everyone in any country eats the same way as their ancestors did, I just think it has an effect on the general dietary trends for a country/culture.

It’s also not Germany’s “fault” (it’s not a result of gluttony or anything), there were a lot fewer vegetables and a smaller growing window for them throughout Germany’s history. That’s why Sauerkraut and asparagus are such big deals in Germany (Spargelzeit is a very cute, weird thing that nobody prepared me for, but it’s super overpriced and frankly not high quality or to my taste in restaurants): before global trade was fast and reliable, they were the primary source of vitamin C during the winter and the first fresh spring vegetable available, respectively. It’s also why potatoes and whole grain bread from multiple types of grain is so prevalent: they’re good sources of fiber and trace nutrients that keep well during a long winter and grow well in a cooler climate. It’s just the types of food people eat with/in/on the potatoes and bread/Brötchen that make them unhealthy.

Edit: I should add that I’ve basically only lived in big student cities (and the only family whose eating habits I really know eats mostly healthy and basically as healthily as practicable with so many young kids), so I could also have a skewed idea of how Germans eat.

Bingo

Sidebar saying anything goes?

idiomaddict,

What does the comma in these numbers signify? It seems to be both a place separator and a decimal marker.

idiomaddict,

26 is hard to fit in an array

Uno, dos, tres, catorce

I’m from Connecticut. Willimantic area, not Greenwich area, but we were still less damaged by Jim Crow and similar policies (except for redlining, that fucked everyone). I spoke to a man in 2017, who had been born in the US, seemed aware and thoughtful, and had to get his granddaughter to write down the claim number I wanted to give him, because he didn’t know his numbers or letters.

I didn’t ask, even though it was killing me with curiosity. His granddaughter probably heard the curiosity in my voice, and explained that in 1967, when he was able to leave school, the teachers didn’t care whether a black kid learned to read. They let him leave school at twelve, even though it was well after brown v the board of education. By the time he wanted to learn to read, he was older, had full time work, and it just didn’t click.

That man was underserved by his government well past the point of mistreatment, not stupid. He’s obviously only one data point, but he’s not the only black man who was treated differently in schools

idiomaddict,

As a non gamer, I read insomniac as a person with insomnia and thought games journalists were supporting some guy’s sylvio Pepe theory for a moment

Listen, I’m licking as many kids as I can, but I’m just one immigrant!

idiomaddict,

One here with the fourth dress sounds lovely
