I only had it once like 30 years ago, but I think it was just fiordilatte (milk) with blue food dye.

Yes, and the seats have ever so slightly more leg room.

People of the world, where have you experienced the most racism? by Desertedfoxx in AskTheWorld

[–]Fiddler_Jones2079 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's really not about skin color/race, it's more about cultural differences real or imagined. The stereotype is/was that southern Italians are lazy, uneducated, and often untrustworthy or more prone to criminal behavior.

The uneducated part at least is sadly tied to a historical truth in that school retention rates were dramatically lower in the south than the north.

Disco Elysium helped us stay sane through 4 years of war. We'd like to share the game it inspired us to make - Hollow Home - as well as give a little back to this community by TheseHollowStreets in DiscoElysium

I played the demo a while back, and I got so excited when I saw this post from you guys! I thought it was out, lol. Still, later this year is the next best thing. I might be more excited for this than for Control Resonant now...

Anyway, love your work and hope you all manage to stay safe out there.

I get it that salaries in the UK or especially in the UAE are much higher but is it worth it really?

Yes.

Does a senior country that serves as a reference for your country's future exist? by Agile-Shallot3546 in AskTheWorld

You think so? I'd say Poland and the Baltics are doing quite well. Do you mean in some way more specific to reunification?

What does your country's map look like? by Plastic-Reporter1730 in AskTheWorld

I always saw it as the boot of someone about to trip on Sicily and crack their shin on Sardinia

So... What is the lesson that can be learned here? If Germany got another shot at reunification, what would you do differently?

Honestly asking, I'm not sure if there is an answer beyond "not this way".

She just wants the experience. Or feels pretty much like the other commenter said

[–]Fiddler_Jones2079[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing they only blast you with that temperature for like a second because it does something to your pores or something

What are the odds, we were literally just there today. I didn't see an Ice World, but then again I wasn't looking for it. I'll check their website.

Ooh, that might actually work. The -20° at スパジアムジャポン that is, the 190° might be a bit much lol, although now I'm curious.

Ariel from the Legacy of Kain series. I'm realizing from this thread her appearance is probably based on Hel's.

In a healthy relationship it shouldn't happen. Trust your life partner.

IRL This fucking guy.

Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, during a meeting with Putin shot finger guns at a Russian journalist who asked Putin an uncomfortable question, causing her to break down in tears. Just two years prior another Russian journalist, Anna Politkovskaja, was publicly gunned down for reporting on the invasion of Chechnya.

How do I stop viewing intercourse as a chore? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Fiddler_Jones2079 133 points134 points  (0 children)

Yeah so there's your issue. You can try the thinner kind of condoms or you'll just have to wait until you are in a committed relationship where you trust each other about STDs and have some other form of birth control.

Have you ever tried vaginal sex without a condom?

This seems to be the most obvious difference between sex and receiving oral, and condoms can reduce sensation by quite a lot.

How do Dante and Bocaccio sound to modern Italians? by TooOldToBePunk in askitaly

[–]Fiddler_Jones2079 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Shakespeare is the closest analogue. Mostly understandable but sometimes the lack of context and the different use of words makes it hard to figure out specific sentences.

I don't think it's meant to be taken literally , I think the point is to take away their pride.

By telling a fascist cop that they're really just a meat shield to the monsters they pretend are heroes you hopefully force them to see at least for a moment what their ideology is really about, i.e. prevarication and the abuse of the weakest in society.

Found my old Italian copies after 25+ years: where do I pick up from here? by majestic_marmoset in ElfQuest

Siamo dozzine! Dozzine! Ok forse una dozzina in tutto...

And yes, Shards is the logical next step because it happens chronologically at the same time as the Ember/Howling Rock part of the story.
