Maybe it’s just in this specific case, but if you can’t find any enjoyable music from an entire decade, that’s on you. Unless you want to try and make the case that you’re the only one with good taste and the rest of us are just lowly rubes, which is obviously ridiculous (though I’d probably enjoy the attempt).
But you’re allowed to have narrow taste and it’s not an insult. No need to get offended.
No music in the 60s was good? I think you might just have some very narrow taste.
No need to financially support Rowling, but Newt Scamander was a great example of non traditional masculinity in the first fantastic beasts movie.
Move further away from the city center and use good public transportation to get to the places you need to be. There’s a point at which it no longer works, but super fast, regular trains can do a lot.
I don’t know, people donate blood for juice boxes. I might occasionally visit a professional vampire who could get rid of an annoying knot in my back
I’m not, because my real worry is that I’ll regret it.
No, but you see, I already have broad hips. I’ll never pass as a dude, so why try?
Sorry, I meant this to also be light-hearted, but it’s… not.
I don’t have the equipment for a nighttime emission, but the only sex dreams I’ve ever had were with partners that I felt really weird about in the morning. They include: a friend of mine, a different friend’s dad, and Mikhail Gorbachev. I don’t want to fuck any of them.
The problem is when my memes only appeal to DaZ learners. German speakers think they’re dumb (they are, I’m just getting started on German puns, so they’re like little kids’ jokes) and non German speakers don’t get them. I don’t mind being the only one to think I’m funny, but sometimes I get genuine joy out of puns that I would like to share, if only there were an audience
Example (Edit: my lazy ass didn’t even want to make a meme to illustrate this, so you just get the description of it): seit dem Seifenmassakre hat sich alles geändert. Jetzt hab ich Albträume und reagiere auf Seifenblasen unangemessen. Zu mindest muss ich kein Duschgel mehr kaufen.
Es ist wahr, ich werde jetzt für immer Schauma haben
Translation (important notes at the end): everything changed since the soap massacre. Now I’ve got nightmares and a disproportionate reaction to soap bubbles. At least I don’t ever have to buy shower gel again.
It’s true, I’ll always have Schauma from now on.
Note: the word for foam in German is Schaum, trauma is the same, Schauma is a shower gel brand, and all I can think of when I see it is dogs having nam flashbacks to being washed
Everyone says that layers are the answer, but A) I don’t want to carry all of my shed layers around, and B) my least favorite part of winter is how tense my shoulders and neck get from the weight of all of my layers.
That said, 25 degrees Celsius is my limit for enjoying heat, so unless there’s somewhere with 10-20 degree weather year round and it’s not constantly cloudy/rainy, I’m stuck accepting winter.
Anyone have good names for testosterone etc?
I’m just naming famous people with mommy issues. Liza Minnelli’s also on the list. It’s… not a good list
Good management is just good people skills. If you don’t have them, intentionally defanging your speech/correspondence helps prevent blowups. Unfortunately for people working under managers with bad people skills, this doesn’t actually make up for and mostly just highlights their managers’ deficits.
Tl;dr: management speak is intentionally harmless in and of itself, but is an obvious symptom of bad management.
I’d definitely be interested in that, thanks!
That’s a very good point. I was picturing a society where this is common and accompanied by a reduced government role, which would require more community support for people who have greater need of it, but that’s not very realistic.
Well, yes. I’m assuming honor where it shouldn’t be assumed.
I’d love it if you argued with the other bits though, because I know there is a problem with evenly applied corruption, I just don’t see it.
Incredibly bad take incoming:
I don’t have a problem with widespread corruption inherently, but it has to be well understood and broadly applicable (which it generally isn’t).
For the average citizen, it doesn’t make much of a difference if you have to pay a €10 processing fee at town hall to get a copy of an official document or if you give the teller €10 under the table to make sure your document gets processed. In fact, there’s an argument to be made that the bribe fosters the local economy more than the processing fee. The problem occurs when a person who does not expect corruption doesn’t pay the €10 that no one tells them is necessary and doesn’t get their document.
Of course the processing fee, being publicly disclosed, is subject to pushback from the populace as a whole, whereas the bribe can be set based on how badly the individual needs something from the government/how positively the official feels about the individual and can therefore be incredibly unfairly applied, which is obviously worse.
The rubes argument was less fun than I expected.
