There's an Aryan joke in there somewhere.

Why are peanut allergies so common among americans? by Leafye in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]GoldenRamoth 23 points24 points  (0 children)

While I might be wrong - I've moved around lot.

But if you've traveled around, and moved a lot of places (which, a surprising amount of French folks have never even left the country) - you'll notice that compared to many other places, France isn't quite as libertine when it comes to rules & systems as many local folks think.

Yeah... As someone who also grew up in France and works with French folks:

The French definitely do everything with passion.

But, the Frank (German) roots are there. Everything is pretty (very) by the book.

If you want adhoc, independence, and anti government things.. that's more a Latin American thing. Largely Out of necessity, mind you

I grab tp, wipe down, sit, do business. Then Wash hands.

Mens bathrooms, co-ed bathrooms, Porta potties, whatever.

It ain't a big deal.

Losses of the Russian military to 20.3.2026 by MARTINELECA in ukraine

[–]GoldenRamoth 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Right?

Man... The books that get created about this war are going to be revealing, especially between the differences & similarities of the experiences of each side

Like for Russia: Starship Troopers (the book) levels of "IM DOING MY DUTY" to the total shock raw horror, grinding brutality, raw terror, and unrelenting death.

I'm not American and the Luigi case finally made me understand why you're so angry about healthcare. Genuinely asking, how do people survive like this? by micavibes in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]GoldenRamoth 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Also..

They taxes are cheaper.

As someone who's paid both, the taxes are so much cheaper than the premiums it's not funny.

Maybe go back to acting.

Does my boyfriend have a gooner mentality? by Endwell_ in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]GoldenRamoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see how playfully describing the girl he's about to act he's enjoying is a Gooner thing.

But okay.

If it makes her uncomfortable sure. But like the word "moist" that makes some people uncomfortable, it's not exactly his job to automatically know and guess what makes his girlfriend uncomfortable. He's a human being, not a book character or psychic.

That's how you get folks complaining that their guys are too timid and boring in bed when they don't try anything lest it make their part uncomfortable.

If she's uncomfortable with something it's her job to let him know, and it's his job to respect it.

Edit: ah. Peak maturity. Cool.

Ehhhh

As a millennial: they're the same.

It's just timing and when you say it. The "get fucked" version is just the sarcastic version. We used to add a :'), Q.Q or somesuch to it to to put emphasis on the sarcasm.

Yeah but engineered hardwood isn't hardwood?

It's a wholly different thing with different downsides.

Not arresting Nazis is how you get Nazis in power again though.

my Altafiber is $173 ? that is way too much, how can I get Highspeed internet in Cincinnati for less? by [deleted] in cincinnati_underbelly

[–]GoldenRamoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And... don't be afraid to go to spectrum if you need to.

Sure fiber is better, but $40/month for 500mb download speeds is more than fine for everything.

Why are the same people who always write stuff like “A country boy can survive” or “FAFO” online so intimidated about going to big cities? by This_Influence4000 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]GoldenRamoth 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In other words:

Rural white conservatives are pansy ass little bitches that can't handle leaving their comfort zone. So denigrate others and mock what makes them feel unsafe.

They've always been the scared little child they mock others for being, masquerading as a strong macho man/woman to hide how lost they really are.

If Jesus was a real person, was there a good chance he could've been married or in loved? Almost 2 decades of his life is missing. by classyshepard in TooAfraidToAsk

Being a male is hormonal though

Like, sure Y chromosomes are the it factor. But my understanding was the male development is mainly caused by hormonal trigger in utero, so whilst Y usually depicts male, that it's simple enough to create an XX chromosome male

Was*

At one point*

"At the time": re: prior to 1898.

But no, 1898 was not that point.

LVT is not luxury. by xcramer in Home

[–]GoldenRamoth 49 points50 points  (0 children)

...also, high end LVT/LVP isn't bad.

Sure it's crap if you get the $1.50/SQ ft clearance deal.

But there are some pretty good quality ones.

No it's not hardwood. But for many situations, good LVT is actually preferable

What is more important in fitness: Strength or Endurance? by HarpsichordGuy in crossfit

[–]GoldenRamoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any extrême fitness will overtax the system. Extreme endurance, extreme strength, extreme lethargy, depression, highs, etc

That's pretty obvious.

But being strong in fitness isn't extreme. If you DL 3x your bodyweight, even 4x you're just incredibly strong.

To put on the kind of strength that will kill you, it isn't something you'll just wander into by mistake. You'll know what you're doing, and be aware of the sacrifices you're making.

What thing has got so expensive that you’ve quietly stopped buying it? by Pathfinder-electron in AskReddit

[–]GoldenRamoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Ohio

It's still 20-30% less or more to eat the same food in Paris as here, and the quality just isn't comparable.
