A German football club is "buying" a player from a British foot ball club. 100 million pounds. Would you say it's modern slavery? Sane business? All are arseholes?
Do you know any woman who equals or surpasses the stupidity of Snow White?
Would you date the best friend of your ex? And why would you avoid it at any cost?
When you ask your friends for advice but they give you a reality check instead of supporting your delusion? Should friends do that? or pamper you in pink molasses?
I own no real estate, no house, no big car, no golden Rolex, no stock options. You could say I'm broke. But not like poor broke cause I manage to make ends meet. I'm classy type of broke. I'm broqué! Sarcasm off
German politician: We must reward fathers who dedicate an extra day to their kids living with the mother by lowering their expenses for the upbringing of kids that go to the mother.
Ads starting like this." YOU won't believe th..." They are right I didn't believe it and cut it off. Ads starting like:" You must..!" Nope. I do not. Is the art of advertising now a sewage of language aimed at the silly? Has never been better, eh?
Provocative question: Some Evangelical Christians in the US reject some things in the Bible as too leftist. Read about it the other minute. Can somebody in the know clear things up for me?
Can you explain the habit and social function of "gender reveal parties" to me? All I can see is a bit of silly boasting tbh. I mean come on any fool can make a baby and there is a chance that the child has some sort of gender, yes? Do they open a big ballon filled with glitter and reveal at 3 months of age: Tadaaa!! It's genderfluid? Is this but rich bored peole having found a new reason to be proud? About what? I really do not get it? Are those people a bit sick in their head?
What do you make of this? German Government member to the press: We cannot propose a general speed limit because we have not enough traffic signs!
African American language as an English derivative has some unique expressions that are strong additions to common English and an enrichment. For me song lyrics are therefore tough and fresh the same time. Do you know any source of help for non natives ?
Do you cook your own food? If so what's your routine? Do you plan ahead? Have a meal plan? Cook according to plan or more spontaneously? Do you stock food and ingredients for this or do you buy more often instead?
oh well you know crack the egg on the edge of the pan. Remove the wrapper before i place the item in the microwave. usually a bit after lunch i'll plan ahead and make it a point to stop at pollo loco on the way home from work. sometime durring the week i'll visit the grocery store to buy the usual beef and such for the weekend feeding, so yeah, since being single thats pretty much my routine. really sexy no?
American/Canadian expats being in Germany are baffled by the following cultural differences: Germans are so direct/blunt it borders on rudeness, everybody is so silent and calm and you feel embarrassed by your normal loudness in comparison. To be honest the only thing I heard expats complain about was the lack of service everywhere. Know more? Do you have some experience? Prejudices even? Please share!
Proposal: We made smoking tobacco a socially awkward and disgusting habit and outlawed it to boot. In the name of health. That transition only took 20 years from a generally acceptable public habit of everybody to a crime. Now why the fuck cannot we do the same with climate ruining habits?
DIY a Starbucks at home: Brew some coffee and pour it in a bad smelling paper mug, say "kate" and write "cat" on it and throw a tenner out the window.
