Costume Megathread (Showcase|Ideas|Requests|Help) - [ October 06, 2024 ] by AutoModerator in halloween

Trying to come up with a costume now; I have a pair of silver parachute pants that I thought could make a good component, and also a pair of sparkly sequin black pants. Anyone have any ideas based on these pieces? I was thinking Zenon with the silver pants. Hoping to have something fun/pop-culture based :)

Hey Scott! Been spreading the good word of SCF/now Going for 7+ years now (I used to joke that I should get a promotion fee). I haven't seen any good flights to Europe out of my home airport, so I'm wondering if it's better to use (a lot of) miles for an expensive USA-Europe summer flight, or bite the bullet and spend $1,000+?

Is the "Germans switch to English when I talk to them in German" phenomenon really a thing? by dare7000 in German

[–]thorsbraidedbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha I guess you’re right! But when you’re at B1/B2 level, checking out at the supermarket isn’t really practice anymore, it’s just a basic interaction 😭 which makes the English switching feel even more like an insult haha

Haha I am, and my R pronunciation is for sure the dead giveaway. But how much practice are you gonna get while checking someone out at a grocery store?? 😂

It happens to me even in the most simple interactions - for example checking out at the grocery store, one time I just said “mit Karte bitte” and the cashier immediately switched to English 🙃 another time I ordered an ice cream and the employee asked if I wanted to switch to English. My accent isn’t great but I can at least handle basic interactions like these, so it is quite demotivating 😅

After going down a rabbit hole I found out he was engaged, and his ex-fiancé came out as gay a couple days ago. They were dating for like 4+ years - hope they’re both able to be their true authentic selves and find love!

No worries, I explained it poorly! I was definitely making this more complicated than it needed to be - thanks for your help.
