Don’t you fucking understand, I HAVE to get to the liquor store 0.38 seconds faster or I’m going to start getting withdrawals!

We noticed you liked that tree. Would you like to see it again in 45 minutes?
That’s an Aussie outback hat, not a Texas cowboy hat lol
I only know this because I wear an outback hat often and regularly get accused of being a cowboy by small children.
I thought it was about bison from New York bullying taxi drivers
A YouTube channel that discusses Missing 411 style content: people disappearing under mysterious circumstances.
A running theme in their show is that overwhelmingly the RCMP are criminally negligent in their duties, are very quick to write off missing persons as runaways, do absolute garbage tier investigation, and that’s where my comment came from.
Not necessarily a topical episode but I like this one: https://youtu.be/f7389EXjdBg
Anyone who’s seen Lore Lodge says that they probably should be called a terrorist organization
Rocking those classic 990s
Definitely. Deserts can have incredible biodiversity. A lot of species of cactus, sedges, euphorbia, composite flowers, wrens, songbirds, the list goes on.
Barren deserts probably are so destitute and lacking in humidity that practically nothing can grow there.
I find Germans have an easier time replying to things very frankly and without garnishment or humor. I can ask a German, “How are you?”, and he may reply with “I’m fine” and it can be taken at face value.
Americans tend to be more, I don’t know, conflict avoidant in their replies? There’s more expectation of subtext, of irony, and it’s not as typical to take “I’m fine” at face value.
“Can’t complain” is another good one. It’s often heard as, “I can’t complain [because nobody would listen anyway]”. Tone is important, as is environmental context. Blue collar workers at the site say this, yeah their day is going to shit. Your buddy says it over drinks, maybe he’s having a neutral, normal time of life, or maybe his life is going to shit and he’s giving the ironic answer to avoid diving into his real issues, while still communicating that things are not perfect.
Last week I was asked how my day was. It had been a perfectly normal, decent day, good time at work, beautiful weather, and my reply was “Life’s a peach”. I got back, “That bad, huh?” Yeah, the American habit of taking genuine expression and searching for a darkness under it can be tiring sometimes.
Nah, his milk doesn’t contain enough plaster of Paris, asbestos and starch to be from back then
WWII war crimes, apparently
I have heard it analogized that English is a language that follows other languages into dark alleys to beat them up and steal their words.
Mine is full of ‘oreos’ (Oreoles), ‘emeralds’ (Admirals), ‘see-ment’ (cement), and very cute regionalisms like ‘roundy-rounds’ (roundabouts). I love it
They’d be looking like that one chick from the 2016 election that screamed Noooooo!
You lost me at the vegetable oil
My infosec skills are far too sophisticated for infiltration (small piece of black tape)
Yeah same, I got ones that smell like Shea butter, they’re pretty nice. I mean if the store had other ones branded differently with the same wipes I would just buy those lol. I feel like the only ones triggered by the imagery are ironically the guys who are insecure in their masculinity and feel threatened by a literal moist toilette.
It’s all fucking weird. I never took photos of my child naked. I don’t get the idea at all.
