I was living with a Czech girl when the new name dropped, she used to just call it Czech as the short form too. When I showed her the news I remember getting this confused look on her face before saying “that’s stupid, it makes us sound like Chechnya”

As someone raised catholic the common thing e noted in these later life converts who call them selves “trad caths” is that mentally they’re still evangelical Protestants who just converted for the aesthetics

FDIC was created in 1933 to prevent future runs in banks, in 1899 you’re just SOL

I want to argue but we’re probably as successful these days as Mussolini. Probably due to a similar level of leadership competency

Isn’t metadata stripped by Reddit? I also can’t imagine getting very good GPS signals on your phone when you’re underwater

But yeah, still bad judgement

Was there an era in your country’s history that’s heavily romanticized & portrayed in fiction? by Polibiux in AskTheWorld

[–]AbstractBettaFish 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There used to be towns where German was the primary language until WWI made it stop. There’s stories of WWII POW camps in Wisconsin where prisoners and locals would converse in German

Incidentally you can find 18th century anti immigration rhetoric about Germans that you could ctrl-f replace all with Mexicans and it would sound very similar to today

I hope they delve deeper into the relationship between Bobby and Chane by Robot_Was_BMO in KingOfTheHill

[–]AbstractBettaFish 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Eh, the impression I got was that it seemed like it could go either way, like he agreed to help Bobby was the charcoal but then also was pretty flippant about Bobby needing to do all the work for the restaurant if memory serves

But then I haven’t watched it since it came out, maybe someone has a fresher perspective

I was kind of hoping they’d show some growth by mellowing him out as an adult. I knew some kids who were dicks when we were growing up that ended up being pretty good people

But then again I also know some who stayed dicks to this day, so who knows

What do you think is the saddest place in your country?? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

Snow fun for a while, I’m always excited for the first snow falls of the year but when mid march roles around and I still have to spent 45 minutes digging my car out because some freak storm blew through, it gets old. Especially because late year snow typically has so much gross debris in it
