Always finish on de Bach, and never on Debussy.

The suffix was named the word of the year for 2022 by the American Dialect Society, with its president Ben Zimmer stating the selection "highlights how creativity in new word formation has been embraced online in venues like TikTok."[11]

a nazi salute is pretty much anti-everyone, man.

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

Only if milking anti-CEO sentiment didn't also endanger CEO's who know they've done immoral shit to get to where they are.

Also, every wealthy people tend to have overlapping interests with different investments, meaning the richest median ducks prolly have some shares in the other abusive systems.

Reminds me of this clip from John Oliver, if the timestamp works (t473), about how what's popular isn't always what's important. It's not a 1-to-1 to what I was saying but you get the gist of these people.

So he's saying "it's their fault because they hired (intellectually inferior) minorities, hurr durr, and definitely doesn't have anything to do with me having laid off a massive portion of the air traffic controllers"?

Every day his cuntiness just grows and grows and I genuinely thought like 10 years ago he couldn't become more of an obnoxious clown. Every day he manages to surpass his past idiocy. It's honestly impressive. Horrifying, but impressive.

On this side of the pond people don't register things as "ancestry" as in "being descendents of x nationality/ethnicity" unless it's genuinely the previous or one before that generation.

Even the term "second generation immigrant" refers to different things.

I technically have some ancestry from what is now Russia. And I don't think theres many generations I have to go back to reach some Swedish ancestry. But I'm Finnish, and it would be utterly ridiculous to even talk about being "descended oof Russian/Swedish ancestry". And that on the other hand, happen constantly in the US.

Although again, I do understand the difference, as the US had many diasporas which tried keeping their ethnic identity. But also, they did develop a little differently.

What I've noted is that in the US it's usually more a chosen identity thing / continues family tradition than an actual genetic thing.

Also, it's a super white thing, as most of the slaves lost their origins throughout the years, as it was purposefully suppressed as well. And identifying with Africa in general is quite a large set in terms of specific cultural practices.

I'm thinking OP is less talking about actual ancestry than parentage. Which technically is ancestry but...

I don't think people trust him, but a lot fear him and his power.

One of those being the orange fuckwit in the White House. Last time Putin just asked Trump for a list of US top spies and they started dropping like flies.

So Trump has now cut aid to Ukraine (not military aid yet, prolly would've if he could've), so he can then say he's "brokered peace" and then hand Ukraine a list of demands written by Putin.

So because of all that sort of shitfuckery, the corrupt of Europe might be influenced as well.

And scheming Vlad wins his special military operation.

Fuck that. Keep the Russian gas off and let Trump rage whatever he wants. We can help Ukraine as Europe. More help for them now that US can't be trusted.

Also I'd like to see it done on a "heavyweight smoker" who's not uses cannabis for say, six months to a year.

Because I think all of the heavy lifetime users were also actively blazed as fuck.

 

I made a joke about how Russia was a bit behind in video game tech in the 90's and got banned, lol.

 

I'm listening to Stromae, Pomme - Ma Meilleure Ennemie (from Arcane Season 2) Lyrics w/ translation.

And one line is "Mais comme dit le diction: Plutôt qu'être seul mieux vaut être mal accompagne."

French (sorry for butchering some of the letters, I've a Nordic layout), roughly for "But as the saying goes: Better than alone, is to be in bad company."

Reading that, I remembered a Spanish line from last weeks episode of "The Day of the Jackal": "Mejor solo que mal acompañado."

"It's better to be alone than in bad company."

A difference in views between the French and the Spanish, eh? Anyone here who's got some view on it? I'd be interested to hear a view from someone who intimately understands both cultures.

 

Also, from the lyrics: "Team by team, reporters baffled trump"

 

I had more screen space for reading with my Nokia 3310.

 

Just something MAGA-people seem to have a hard time with sometimes. Probably not as much when Americans are speaking to themselves, but as a non-American, sometimes it's challenging to get "those people" to admit that there is indeed anything wrong with the US. As in they won't accept a single criticism, and will loudly proclaim "America is the greatest country in the world", while wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat, which for me pretty explicitly means America isn't great, if it has to be made to be such again.
