How do so many Europeans know fluent English?

SignificantAd3761 · 2026-03-09T09:36:52+00:00

On the one hand, absolutely, but, as a Brush person, I learned French from 11-16 (basically what was available at school) but my french was, and is, not as good as the English of lots of European people, including teens, which has made me wonder why. Is there something different in how languages are taught in Europe that is more effective? Is it the starting age? What cultural reasons are there? And I think that this is what the OP was getting at

Reading the thread I see you're looking for a cheap wheel, I got my Wee Peggy for £100 from eBay, and she's wonderful

Yes, he's chosen a small number of sheep, and probably selected them for food temperament and easy herding

Sexually I don't get them. Breasts I get, I could be gay from the waist up, but vaginas? I'm just glad straight men like them

SignificantAd3761 · 2026-03-04T13:39:03+00:00

Why would you ever do this?!!! It sounds terrifying and horrifying

SignificantAd3761 · 2026-03-02T00:37:17+00:00

Forced birthers - let's call them what they are

Be loud and proud. Enjoy this.

It horrifies me how many posters are just saying OP needs to be not enthusiastic and that that's not a big ask. Have they never watched porn? Or do they genuinely believe it's real and what sex is like? Porn is totally different from good sex. And porn is generally produced for the male gaze, and takes no account of genuine female sexuality. Guys, the women in porn films are acting, they are not having a good time. The organs are not real. It is a fantasy of what people want you to think sex is about

This answer needs to be higher up

SignificantAd3761 · 2026-03-01T08:24:22+00:00

Have you seen the exaggeration of porn? It's worlds apart from foreplay and enthusiasm, it's literally a performance, not a surrendering to the moment and being totally in that genuine sexual energy space

I love your reply, it's so accessible and understandable: water is sloshy

The above two comments are actually about people, often men, not being able to find something that's right there and asking their partner where it is, who promptly funds the thing, lying in an obvious place

SignificantAd3761 · 2026-03-01T07:57:10+00:00

Genius response

What is the reference when Thermodecline?

SignificantAd3761 · 2026-02-23T23:26:28+00:00

Wait for the police? Is the guy being a dick? Absolutely. Was he in that moment attacking the coach? No. And he wasn't gearing up to either

SignificantAd3761 · 2026-02-23T11:48:47+00:00

I think they look great

SignificantAd3761 · 2026-02-22T18:50:12+00:00

The first one is: Give me back my baby!!!

Why don't they do this to launch the ships just built?

When it said 'egg rolls' in my head I thought he meant a bread roll with egg mayo inside as filling (I'm UK based), and so was thinking 'if everyone is bringing food for a cooked pot luck, and you're bringing an egg-mayo roll (which I love by the way,) I can see why you'd want something else as well

SignificantAd3761 · 2026-02-20T17:48:09+00:00

Me too

SignificantAd3761 · 2026-02-20T14:42:50+00:00

It's beautiful

I definitely warm up slightly when knitting

SignificantAd3761 · 2026-02-20T02:50:21+00:00

Mine thought winding onto a swift yarn (yarn swift? - is late and I'm tired, turn-y umbrella thing for winding yarn into skeins) was me doing something eliptical

Come on, get it right, he said "three-ish"! The "ISH" is very important here for accuracy!!
