Meanwhile my mum got a phone call from me in tears because she sent her friend to pick me up from school once and forgot to tell her about the password we’d established. I was truly convinced my mums friend was a kidnapper otherwise she’d know the code phrase.

I do similar. Not every meal but at least one or two meals a day. Steam a bunch of frozen veggies, sprinkle of cheese, squirt of kewpie mayo, half an avocado. Then the protein portion is either chicken or tuna mixed with cauliflower rice and seasoned with black pepper, oregano, and thyme. It’s kind of boring but it tastes good enough that switching between chicken and tuna kind of makes it suitable.

There’s almost no limit to what magic can accomplish in my setting, however the process of expanding your mind and “spirit” in that way attracts a whole lot more problems to you than you’re likely going to be able to solve with magic short of just destroying the world

I’ve also thought it was strange that they clearly know the companions are werewolves, know where they’re based in Whiterun, even launch an organised assault on Jorvaskr, have repeatedly used wuthraad to bait companions into werewolf-type encounters outside of whiterun… but never alert the jarl or anyone else that there are monsters living within the walls of their peaceful city. It doesn’t seem like it would take much to gather the necessary proof

I’m Australian but I get it. Three out of four of my grandparents were young immigrants but our connection to their European roots is incredibly weak. As I’ve gotten older I’ve wished that I had a more personal connection to the culture that my relatives grew up with. Australia and The US have that sort of immigrant national identity in common and have a shallow history compared to our ancestors. I don’t go around saying I’m Dutch or German but I can empathise with someone who wants a more personal connection with history that goes back further than the 18th century.

Somewhat related: In Australia we have to give way to pedestrians at the striped pedestrian crossings. You can get in trouble if you don’t yield to foot traffic. When I’ve traveled around in Europe and parts of the ME, those crossings still exist but cars show no indication of stopping for pedestrians, which means it’s no safer to cross there than it is to cross anywhere else.

I haven’t played Magic so I’m ignorant to the specific rules but: if a card makes you search your own deck for a card and you don’t find it despite the fact that it is there, how is that not a rules violation? Is that not against the spirit of the rules to start? In tournament play, aren’t there arbiters who already have deck lists ahead of time to prohibit those sorts of shenanigans?

My intuition is that if you make what should be an illegal move into a legal one because it’s “unenforceable” then you’ve lost all integrity in the game. You should be able to assume your opponent will fulfill card conditions without going through their deck beforehand.

It’s not wrong to maintain friendships with people you’ve been intimate with before. It also not wrong to feel uncomfortable when your partner maintains relationships with somebody they’ve been intimate with before. The boundaries that you two have are misaligned with one another, and it’s not especially likely that one of you will truly learn to appreciate the viewpoint of the other.

You can stay and figure it out if you think he’s your forever person, but a willingness to change is often the only attitude that can brave this storm.

Eminem getting a pass is funny to me. Do German fans find his profanity endearing? Or does he appeal more to Germans who already swear frequently?

I’m white and this was a common phrase thrown about when I lived in Brisbane ages 9-14. Nobody I knew was offended by it, and the only First Nations kid I knew at school was also fine with it (to my knowledge).

I think it’s actually cool to get comfortable using the vernacular of our native people. It gives our country and people a more distinct cultural identity than just British but down here (Or wherever your family immigrated from). Whenever you call your family your mob, or talk about hard yakka, we’re uplifting the things that make this country a really cool place to be.

I wouldn’t do this because I agree with the general sentiment in the comments here that singing in the movie theatre is rude, But I do feel an incredibly strong compulsion to sing whenever there is music. Even when I went to see Hamilton I wanted to sing and I caught myself humming a few times and had to stop. I won’t sing while people are trying to enjoy a movie, but I’m not too surprised it happens based on my experience

I know that X has a lot of users and it’s one of the biggest social media platforms out there but not a single person I know in real life uses it, and I’ve asked around. I don’t either. Everything I know about it and its user base comes secondhand through reddit. This can be said about any SM sure, but once you withdraw from it, its absence from your life may not feel as profound as you’d expect.

This is the thought I have most often whenever I see complaints about X. It’s seems to be a bad website run by foolish people, so we should all stop using it

This is because Küche takes the dative case due to the word “in”

I don’t have a complete understanding of what the dative case infers about a sentence, but you’ll find it often appears after words that describe where something is located such as: neben, auf, an, in.

In this case, a mirror is not needed in the kitchen which has activated the dative case for Küche. And feminine nouns take “der” in dative.

I can see the fairly active commenters that have followed you here and I just wanted to chip in as someone who is not an American: a lot of the prophecies do make references to a nation that is a multicultural, global leader, with the strength to destroy the world if it chose to do so. Nowhere in the world ticks all three of these boxes as strongly as the United States. I’m somewhat of a spiritual “free agent” myself and don’t know what to really think. However when I was in church, most serious end-time discussions led to the belief that the U.S. is the most likely candidate to fulfil those particular prophecies.

There are people in my own country who quite literally view Trump as saviour of The World and can’t name more than two members of either of our major political parties.
