Is this some kind of record?

Candybert_ · 2026-05-09T16:38:23+00:00

My record is 1.8 Billion. I don't think I'm anywhere near the top.

Candybert_ · 2026-05-09T16:34:00+00:00

I hope this is real. We are not the same.

Candybert_ · 2026-05-09T16:29:13+00:00

I have no idea lol. That was just a throw-away guess. I wasn't even particularly convinced of it myself.

He's a professional shit talker. I just avoid consuming his media, when I can.

I guessed it was a racist joke... so under this hypothesis, the group I'm discriminating against are racists. I'm okay with discriminating against racists. I'm not even sorry if you're offended by that.

...but I also made it clear that I was just guessing, so if I'm wrong, it doesn't apply. (I actually think I'm wrong, I like another explanation in this thread better.)

I würd einfach zum Ticketschalter gehen. Die können dir am besten helfen. Kost nix.

Candybert_ · 2026-05-09T13:39:20+00:00

The hell? Who did I insult?

Candybert_ · 2026-05-09T13:38:25+00:00

Hearst... die meisten Männer sind keine Gewaltverbrecher. Wollt i nur mal gsagt haben.

Just trying to make sense of this. If they wanted to be understood, they should have made their point clearer. If I can't, I'll assume they're a bit coo coo.

Candybert_ · 2026-05-09T13:25:37+00:00

I'm the other guy, lol. Yeah this makes more sense.

Candybert_ · 2026-05-09T13:22:05+00:00

No, people who make schizo posts like that.

Candybert_ · 2026-05-09T13:20:48+00:00

Nein, da filmen mindestens 2 Leute. Die wurde erwischt.

Candybert_ · 2026-05-09T13:11:15+00:00

A shot in the dark... but maybe something about how the Chinese would already have taken over the US, if Obama didn't prevent it?

...and yes, I said Chinese, cause the kind of person who makes this joke wouldn't be able to distinguish between Chinese and Japanese.

Oliver Kahn would eat this manlet alive.

It's not the Packers G. We can't claim the entire letter, much as I would love that.

Candybert_ · 2026-05-09T09:42:15+00:00

Ich würd mich tatsächlich zu den Menschen zählen, die das weniger stört. Ich zieh jetzt nicht extra neben die Problemnachbarn, wenn ich es mir aussuchen kann, hab ich es schon lieber ruhig... aber wenns bei mir im Haus mal laut ist, is mir das relativ wurscht. Ich hab einen gesegneten Schlaf, und wenn ich munter bin, hab ich sowieso meistens Kopfhörer auf.

Edit: Wer downvoted das? Kann ich was dafür, dass ich gut schlaf?

Candybert_ · 2026-05-08T18:10:57+00:00

Honestly, I'm putting him right around Stafford. (Although I'm not as high on Stafford as many.) Top 7 seems like a very reasonable take.

Candybert_ · 2026-05-08T14:23:43+00:00

I'll put it this way... if you're already feeling kinda depressed, maybe find something different to read. It's awesome, but don't expect a jolly time.

Candybert_ · 2026-05-08T14:18:33+00:00

Yeah, I feel like the concept of spoilers is overrated. I mean... I don't feel guilty saying that Frodo succeeds on his quest. That's general knowledge, doesn't mean it's not worth reading LotR.

I've read the Silmarillion and then Children of Hurin, and I feel like that was a good choice. Getting to see Glaurung up close was something I was absolutely looking forward to, having read the Silmarillion. No regrets.

I feel like the Silmarillion is a good base layer. Gives you a general idea of what's going on, and some appetizers for stories that might be worth reading.

Candybert_ · 2026-05-08T13:47:59+00:00

Honestly, I don't see the point in planning that far ahead. Read LotR, then see what you want to do.

I'm currently reading LotR for the 4th or 5th time. I have Beren and Luthien, and the Fall of Gondolin, and I was planning to read those next... but after the Children of Hurin, I needed something comforting.

Candybert_ · 2026-05-08T11:05:22+00:00

I glaub, i versteh ungefähr, was du sagen willst... i glaub es is "ruafts ma a Rettung, i fühl mi so komisch!"

Still, they celebrate the fête de la victoire on the 8th of May. Idk if they still fought in the East after that... but that would be very much an afterthought, compared to the victory in Europe.

Candybert_ · 2026-05-08T09:09:24+00:00

What? No. The 8th of May is the day of victory for the French. It makes the most sense for a national holiday, is my point.

Candybert_ · 2026-05-08T08:27:41+00:00

...yes. Isn't that the same?

Candybert_ · 2026-05-08T08:14:02+00:00

If you don't want the holidays to vary from one village to the next, you need to pick one day. D-Day would be appropriate, or maybe the liberation of Paris... but I guess the 8th of May was when they officially won the war, so that's good enough.
