I can’t wait for you to see how headphone technology has improved in the last 80 years

I don’t think so, there’s only one sign about democrats. These people are just obsessed with trump

Then maybe you could lend your vast experience to others and say that instead of something that’s constantly repeated to non drinkers as a form of peer pressure.

Look at the community and think about what you write. Try a little common sense.

Ideally, we’d all stop…

You want it to get traction before stripping it

I could see it, depending on the pub.

Tbh, I think he probably would have married a white woman if it was just for appearances, but suppressing bisexuality also woeks

And totally unbroken collarbones

Could you just hit them with clearcoat right out of the gate?

He says it correctly, they copied it down wrong, thankfully

I get that falling is less dangerous if it’s sunken, but holy hell I don’t want to imagine what animals would live underneath it

It depends on where you go obviously, but most urban centers have a majority renting population afaik.

That’s how I treat chocolate as well, but coffee is a lot harder for me to restrict. I buy the fair-tradiest coffee I can find, but I suspect that’s mostly marketing.

Holy shit, the internal conflict I’d have if my 8 year old kid got involved in a fight with what I thought was a gun and saved me. Thank god it was actually a BB gun, but I imagine that clerk is going to have some compounded trauma because his kid was also involved.

I’d add Agatha Christie to the Sherlock Holmes/James bond subcategory too

Don’t switch to Maxwell House, but basically any other coffee is better tasting than those two.

Coffee is like chocolate though: it basically always comes with the risk of supporting slavery. It sucks and it’s not fair that the costs of ensuring (or trying to ensure, Tony’s Chocolonely can’t even be certain) slavery is not involved price most people out of consuming them.

Except for Stewart

What in the papa Smurf?

I’m American, studying in Germany with about half my cohort being East Asian students. To me, it seems like we’re square in the middle and I’ll give you an example:

We were asked how we would address it, if we saw our dear roommate finally wearing the sweater they’d spent months knitting and it looked bad. In broad strokes, the Asian students would not address it, the Germans would say they didn’t like the sweater, and the (north and south, not just US) American students would find something they honestly liked to complement and not address anything else.

Some Germans would also find something positive to say about the sweater (“I don’t like the color, but it’s a beautiful knit” or something similar), but they only mentioned that after the American students said their approach, so I’m not sure if that was just social pressure from all the non Germans being shocked at their answer.

These are all totally valid, by the way, it’s just better to be prepared for it. A few days before this class, I showed my old (German) roommate some of my wedding pictures and he told me he didn’t like my lipstick. I still have no idea what the point in that is, but I probably would have taken it better if it had happened after the class discussion.

Edit: I’ve since thought more about this, and given that the others found the American position dishonest (it is intentionally telling only the flattering/socially easier part of your opinion), I can see how each of them would consider theirs the middle position: the Asian students would think that instead of insulting or flattering their roommate, they’d just say nothing; German students would think that instead of saying nothing or exaggerating their positive feelings, they’d just say the truth.

I guess it’s more of a wheel than a line based spectrum
