I never took it in school, and I don’t have much contact with it now either. I’m picking up some Arabic now though.

I took Spanish from age 12-22 and German from 18-23 and 29-31.

I speak both those languages, though my Spanish is rusty, because I moved to Germany and don’t have much contact with Spanish speakers.

The rubes argument was less fun than I expected.

You could always sabotage it

Maybe it’s just in this specific case, but if you can’t find any enjoyable music from an entire decade, that’s on you. Unless you want to try and make the case that you’re the only one with good taste and the rest of us are just lowly rubes, which is obviously ridiculous (though I’d probably enjoy the attempt).

But you’re allowed to have narrow taste and it’s not an insult. No need to get offended.

I know several, but they were mostly born in Germany or immigrated young.

No music in the 60s was good? I think you might just have some very narrow taste.

Move further away from the city center and use good public transportation to get to the places you need to be. There’s a point at which it no longer works, but super fast, regular trains can do a lot.

That’s not exactly how I would have imagined a kibblesmith smiths kibble, but as long as the pets get the cubes afterwards, I’m happy

“Grate” joke? Or did I get double whooshed?

Maybe she doesn’t know if she’s joking or not either. Only one way to find out!

Because you’re upside down

If you’re an adult in no danger of pregnancy and not breastfeeding, licking the solder wire once won’t hurt you noticeably.

But if you’re worried that you’ll like the taste and might seek it out again, that’s a possibility.

Do they still feel slimy if they’re finely diced? I love the taste but hate the texture of mushrooms, and mincing them to incorporate into a dish is the best of both worlds for me.

You mean like how chamomile isn’t tea? Because I probably call chamomile broth “tea” 100% of the time. Tea for me is anything steeped in muslin in boiling or near boiling water that you might sweeten

I’m also not big on tea, but rooibos tastes like essence of baked goods to me

Or it’s delicious, store brand rooibos

I don’t have the equipment for a nighttime emission, but the only sex dreams I’ve ever had were with partners that I felt really weird about in the morning. They include: a friend of mine, a different friend’s dad, and Mikhail Gorbachev. I don’t want to fuck any of them.

The problem is when my memes only appeal to DaZ learners. German speakers think they’re dumb (they are, I’m just getting started on German puns, so they’re like little kids’ jokes) and non German speakers don’t get them. I don’t mind being the only one to think I’m funny, but sometimes I get genuine joy out of puns that I would like to share, if only there were an audience

Example (Edit: my lazy ass didn’t even want to make a meme to illustrate this, so you just get the description of it): seit dem Seifenmassakre hat sich alles geändert. Jetzt hab ich Albträume und reagiere auf Seifenblasen unangemessen. Zu mindest muss ich kein Duschgel mehr kaufen.

Es ist wahr, ich werde jetzt für immer Schauma haben

Translation (important notes at the end): everything changed since the soap massacre. Now I’ve got nightmares and a disproportionate reaction to soap bubbles. At least I don’t ever have to buy shower gel again.

It’s true, I’ll always have Schauma from now on.

Note: the word for foam in German is Schaum, trauma is the same, Schauma is a shower gel brand, and all I can think of when I see it is dogs having nam flashbacks to being washed

Everyone says that layers are the answer, but A) I don’t want to carry all of my shed layers around, and B) my least favorite part of winter is how tense my shoulders and neck get from the weight of all of my layers.

That said, 25 degrees Celsius is my limit for enjoying heat, so unless there’s somewhere with 10-20 degree weather year round and it’s not constantly cloudy/rainy, I’m stuck accepting winter.
