Even for customers in their 20s? I’m in Germany and some youngish people actually get annoyed when I use the formal you with them. I would prefer they get annoyed in that direction, so I keep doing it (unless they appear to be at least a decade younger than me or I feel like I actually know them well enough to be informal- my metric is whether I’d feel comfortable making a genuine joke vs. a customer service joke with them), but it’s definitely not helping with any tips.

Now I’m just imagining that arch is pronounced unexpectedly. Please don’t correct me, I like my headcanon of “airtch.”

hope my coffee kicked in on time and I didn’t trigger Muphry’s Law

I’m weirdly anxious about also triggering Muphry’s Law, but I’m pretty sure you mean genannt, unless maybe that’s Yiddish and not German.

I also don’t use TikTok and I’m exactly the wrong age to know anything about teenagers/young adults, but it’s my understanding that its base outside of the US means that it isn’t (as) subject to American social-political pressure. Therefore people were exposed to more pro-Palestinian content through TikTok than instagram/facebook, youtube, or reddit, and TikTok’s relative popularity with gen z contributed to the popularity of BDS across college campuses in the US.

I don’t know if that’s been substantiated by much actual research though.

But it’s not completely covered in fur. A partially hairy sphere doesn’t need a cowlick.

Unless the mole just doesn’t have hair on its face or ass or somewhere, then it’s possible to comb all hairs flat.

That is the case, it has bald patches around its mouth and, uh, hands. I don’t want to look up pictures of mole ass, but I can’t imagine the anus itself is hairy, that would be a biohazard trap in the environment moles live in.

Unfortunately too many jurisdictions accept the violent response some men choose to indulge in after seeing that.

Mortified by the concept of catcalling a woman and a good relationship with his cat? Yup, those are two very green flags.

Not just to slap her while pregnant, but specifically because she didn’t fit into the dress her MIL wanted her to wear.

You know how pregnant people tend to stay the same size throughout their pregnancy

More importantly, how do we know that he knows it’s a kink?

Pearl jams anyway.

You know what, I always respond to her when she meows and if I can’t see her/she’s not at the door, I’ll go and find her, and she does the exact same thing! She’ll chirp at it if she can see me or knows I’m in bed and come find me if not when I call her name. 🥹

Do we finally have an answer to the foundational question of lemmys eternal September (Reddit API exodus)?

What a great term!

In that vein, any dietary restrictions that those around you don’t have, have a logical basis of furthering your in group cohesion and distancing yourself from your neighbors, just because sharing meals with people generally deepens relationships (or honestly, any restrictions of any type that differ from those around you serve to other you from them, thereby driving you together as a group). That is a scientifically substantiated benefit, but it’s not quite what I was getting at, because it’s not inherent to the rule itself, but rather how it applied in that specific context.

That said, I didn’t realize that about the textiles and it’s super interesting!

Oh, I forgot that anime wasn’t just for series and didn’t think about Miyazaki, but I’ve seen a bunch of those movies and loved them all.

Thanks for the suggestions!

A North Wales pub which played the theme tune to children’s TV show Peppa Pig when police officers visited in October has had it’s licensed reviewed.

I don’t normally pick at nits this small, but this is a newspaper, and it’s the first paragraph. It should be:

A North Wales pub which played the theme tune to children’s TV show [“Peppa Pig” or Peppa Pig (1)] when police officers visited in October has had its (2) licence (3 (inb4 “license,” this is a Welsh newspaper, so I went for the British spelling- either way it shouldn’t have a d at the end)) reviewed.

He was the 200 ce version of one, anyway.

Of all the musicians I might have guessed performed a song called “Thanks for the Pepperoni,” I think George Harrison and Eric Clapton would have been near the end of the list.

Yeah, same. I liked cowboy bebop, one punch man, and delicious in dungeon. I haven’t even been able to get through a full season of anything else (though I’m game to try others).
