Gloomy

My mums boyfriend fell for that one. I never understood it - why not call them on their “old number” and confirm first that it’s no longer valid. And once they ask for money, why not ask them to call you first to confirm?

He isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, so I’m not realy surprised he fell for it.

Why the fuck would you support 2500 % Tariffs on anything?!?!?

Ohhhhhhhh. Nevermind.

I don’t know enough about Islam to claim that this applies, but it certainly applied to Christianity up until the enlightenment: there was no point in doing experiments to find out more about the world, the answer was already in the Bible. If you couldn’t see it yet, you needed to study the Bible more.

This is just plain wrong.

Have a look at this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christians_in_science_and_technology

What often happened was that rich people’s sons became priests, because it was a respected and not very time intensive endeavor. This would give them ample free time to engage with the sciences as much as they wanted.

Eh, I don’t know. I mean, sure, there are stereotypes.

But it feels a bit different. I thinks it’s the difference between friendly banter, like friends do it sometimes, and blatant bullying.

I’ve done a little experiment. I went to https://witze.net/ , a website that is German and filled with humour that must be at least 30 years old. Many jokes refer to cultural events from that time (there was one about the explosion of the Challenger, which was in 1986). So that should give a good example of the time period I was reffing to.

You find examples of friendly banter for the French, etc.:

"Whats European heaven like?

The Englishman opens the door for you, the French is cooking, the Italian is the Entertainment and the German takes care of organising everything.

What’s European hell like?

The Frenchman opens the door, the Englishman is cooking, the German is the Entertainer and the Italian takes care of organising everything."

Not funny, but also just a play on stereotypes. It’s like that.

The polish stereotype is “they are thiefs”.

“Whs do Russians always steal two cars? Because they have to drive trough Poland on their way back.”

“Why is Viagra not allowed in Poland? Because everything that stands longer than 10 Minute is stolen.”

And on and on.

Am I imagining that there is a difference if your stereotype is “bad at humour” (which the German website proves quite well ironically) or “steals everything all the time”?

During my childhood, in Germany, during the ninetees and early 2000s, it was manly making fun of the Polish for beeing thiefs or beeing overrun in WWII.

Insanely racist time, looking back now, but it was just completly normalised.

Does somebody have a source for / link to the drama? I know the guy and have seen a couple of videos, but the fakeness tuned my off too.

But my YouTube frontage was full of him and still is.

Wow. I ABSOLUTLY saw an image of a dog in the middle. Our brain sure is fascinating sometimes.

When I was about 13, I started my path into goth subculture, in the late 90s . I am so very happy that this was the enviorment I was exposed to during my teens, when identity is formed and you are so very open to new ideas.

I grew up with a complete normalisation of gay and lesbian interactions, surrounded by men that were comftable wearing makeup and integrating elements of crossdressing into their outfits.

I could test out my ideas of a male gender and my sexuality without the boundaries that society troughs at us usually and I honestly think it was an absolute blessing.

This one is ironic because the macho-mindset of needing to be STRONG and therefor only consuming hard stuff is realy American interpretation of manhood in itself.

We changed the nane of a product because you haven’t joined us wilding an unjustified war on brown people

vs.

We changed the name of a product because you waged an unjustified trade war against us for no reason, even tough we have been your closest alley.

Not the same.

4 full hours of sleep and you only skip one meal?! Look at this guy living the life over there.

Especially pointing to your (in this case non disclosed) genitals.

Or they got plenty of em and switch em frequently.

How ever one reads the statement, it’s making the connection that female emotions are something different then malr emotions and that is just silly. Its just that woman are raised to deal differently with them as men do and neither way is healthy for any of those genders.

Same spot here, switched two weeks ago, dual boot with windows but only use windows for one game that needs an external mod manager to work.

Its easy, it’s fun and it’s customisable. Loving it so far.

Came here looking for this, was not disappointed.

Ah, I see. Thanks for pointing that out.

Easy to make misstake, but it was Power Word: Pain, not Kill.

You speak a word of power that causes waves of intense pain to assail one creature you can see within range. If the target has 100 hit points or fewer, it is subject to crippling pain. Otherwise, the spell has no effect on it. A target is also unaffected if it is immune to being charmed.

Why stop the quote there?

$1.65 Billion, or 95.7%, comes from a single deal with the state of Pennsylvania for a tax-credit to build a massive petrochemical plant there.

The tax subsidies are a summation of all subsidies since 2003, not per year as the image claims.

The image tries to link federal SNAP benefits to total tax benefits for RDS. Of the $1.725 Billion listed on the page for RDS, total federal tax benefits account for $4.9 Million, or 0.2% of all total tax benefits.

This is misinformation
