Jesus Christ, it’s not on you, but what an awful show. Nobody let that woman ask for evidence even though it was a good question that she tried to ask multiple times. I’m secondhand frustrated now

I sometimes have medium length nails (3-5 mm past the fingertip), though I tend to just grow my own out, and I do it entirely for myself. I have a bunch of different kinds of nail polish and stencils for making cool patterns and it satisfies my inner elementary school librarian urge to dress up for even very minor holidays.
People have come up to me and told me that my nails are too long for them to find attractive, which is a bizarre non sequitur imo. I don’t know why the assumption is that any self-decoration is intended as a sexual signal: my ideal nail-based interaction is that a little kid asks about them and I get to tell them about Arbor Day or national soup day or something.
Sometimes they make life more difficult, and then I either find workarounds (opening pull tabs with a spoon, for example) or cut them, depending on how much time I have and how much I like my current nails.
I get that they’re not for everyone, but I like them, so I wear them. It’s okay if others don’t like them, they don’t have to wear them.
I wish it were different, but the Green Party sucks in the two countries I’ve lived in. I want to vote for environmentalists, but they seem to be Russian shills in the US, and they’ve had literal stasi members in Germany, where they were so opposed to nuclear, that the country still uses mostly coal.
I interpreted it as “vote only for those democrats who support voting reform,” but it could also be sarcasm.
I think the change came with Obama, but that’s also around the time I moved out of the place where I heard it all the time, so it could just be that that’s when my normal meter was reset.
I’m sorry you got downvoted for being right. You weren’t rude or anything 🤷
Doesn’t it mean “this fucking guy,” which is basically the same thing?
Sometimes it’s a second (or fifth) language for Indian people, but it’s also a dialect which is just as valid as your dialect and it’s got the second most English speakers in the world. The accent may just be an accent, you definitely shouldn’t assume that it’s a sign someone will have incorrect English. It sounds like you’re not in practice, but that’s definitely how I read your comments
I’m from Connecticut and once had a serious problem with a person my company insured from North Carolina. He was talking to me about what caused his accident and I kept hearing “tar” instead of “tire.” We were equally qualified as native speakers.
If you’re concerned, you can listen to more Indian English, because familiarity should ease any understanding difficulties in the future.
I am trying to find this, because I’d love to see the context, but I can’t seem to get it. Weirdly, I could have been certain I clicked on a story talking about it, but I went back because of an uncloseable cookie banner and duck duck go changed the results.
That’s actually a really interesting question. I think putting dead people on trial (for new crimes, not postmortem exonerations) is fucked up, because they can’t testify in their own favor, but it’s also such an important case for the country to learn about, to assess the breadth of collusion and depth of corruption involved in trying to overthrow the government.
It’s intentional
In Germany, they’re called Stolpersteine, or stumbling blocks (a metaphorical hurdle that prevents or inhibits you from reaching your goal). It feels like a warning that humanity must reckon with our susceptibility towards fascism if we want to achieve lasting peace.
You know what the easiest way to brainwash children is?
Raising them.
I don’t think he’d lose a single voter, to be honest.
He had the decades long overreaction in 2016
It blows my mind that they don’t pick mail up from peoples houses. I live in a city, so it could be different in more rural areas, but I my closest mailbox is almost a half kilometer away.
“Borrowing trouble” is a great phrase :D
Didn’t McCain call his wife a harlot for playfully messing with his hair?
Edit: it was a trollop and the c word. I don’t know how I only remembered the mild insult
It’s generally legal in the US, with some exceptions (judges holding court, maybe ship captains?), and as an American, it’s a little hard to wrap my head around the laws in Germany. I live here, so I just don’t say rude things to strangers, but what is an insult?
Some people are ugly or fat or bald or stupid, all of which I would consider insults. Can the truth be an insult? What if I did fuck that dude’s mom last night, would it be an insult to tell him? I’ve seen dutzen (use of the informal “you”) be considered an insult, and I just don’t understand how. I understand how it can offend someone, but the word I use for the people I love best in the world is objectively not an insult.
If insulting is subjective, can lizzo (or an equally body positive person) get away with calling someone fat?
Above all, how is saying “it is my sincere opinion that” before the insult a real defense?
