  • The worst pick-up line I've ever gotten

    Jump

  • I just read the fanfic. Though I absolutely don’t talk about it in public because the stuff I like is basically all pornographic. I definitely know all the trivia, but I don’t support jk Rowling financially (anymore, I did purchase the original series as it came out, but I haven’t otherwise paid for anything Harry Potter).

    I just like the world and the fanfic possibilities of Draco Malfoy.

  • A Trump Ally Is Training 75 Armed Citizens. Is That a Militia?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I was interpreting it under the lens of current legal application, not reality. In reality, it’s a group of people who want to violently oppress their fellow citizens through any means possible.

  • No matter who's president? Because fighting off rebellions was a big part of what those militias were used for.

    Ostensibly. They’re obviously lying, but that’s what they say.

    It's WELL-regulated, not "barely regulated at all with little to no enforcement to speak of"

    It’s my understanding that the extant gun laws are legally considered to fulfill this requirement, otherwise private gun ownership wouldn’t be possible. Personally I disagree, but I’m not sure what standard would otherwise be used.

    I do hope you’re correct, but I don’t trust the US government to adhere to common sense anymore. I guess we’ll see what the court says, because someone’s going to challenge this.

    Or maybe he’ll get voted out in November and this will be disbanded before anything happens with it. I think that’s probably the best option, because then it doesn’t get a chance to be approved by this SCOTUS and nobody has to have their civil rights violated by this group.

    Incredible name and title combo

  • A Trump Ally Is Training 75 Armed Citizens. Is That a Militia?

    Jump

  • They’re training them to protect federal infrastructure and they’re still subject to gun regulations. I think it will be a political tool used to oppress the citizenry, so not the spirit of the law, but the letter.

  • Yeah, this is scary, but that’s literally the 2nd amendment

  • Winzig-weich took way too long for the payoff, but generally I chuckle a little. I do absolutely worry that I’m internalizing bad English linguistic interference though

  • I’m a native English speaker with very good German married to a native German speaker and every few weeks I come across something that I just don’t get. My husband has now developed a Pavlovian response to me saying “so you remember Zangendeutsch?”

  • 'Pray for this burdened man': Republican mocked after telling House he does his own dishes

  • Do you by any chance use an eco or quick cycle? That’s my last one, I won’t keep diagnosing your dishwasher 😂

  • Singapore has approved 16 insects to eat as food: here’s everything you need to know

    Jump

  • If it helps, that might be irrelevant for you! My friend mentioned that chitin was the issue (no idea if he’s right, please don’t take medical advice from me), so things like shrimp and crab are huge problems for him, but I think cephalopods less so

  • That’s too much powder, which can happen if your water’s not hard and you fill the space up.

  • A friend of mine is epi-pen levels of allergic to shellfish and they wouldn’t let him try crickets in culinary school because there’s often an overlap.

  • What family sayings did you think was universal?

  • If you don’t think to bring something with you, you have to go back and get it (for example)

  • First-known TikTok mob attack led by middle schoolers tormenting teachers

    Jump

  • I’d like to first of all say that I don’t see any reason to believe the teachers did this. I hope the police proceed under that assumption unless evidence leading otherwise turns up. My original comment was about why someone might not want their children punished as severely, if the teachers did in fact do these things to their students, but I don’t think it’s likely (and really hope it’s not the case).

    It would be harassment whether or not it's true, so the teachers would still have reason to sue.

    That’s true, but it’s probably not a huge concern. Middle schoolers under that kind of pressure will react without thought to consequences and if their most grievous response is to harass their abusers, most courts would probably recognize that. I would still explain to them that they can trust me and that I’ll believe them if they tell me something like this in the future, before it gets to this point.

    I just hope something happens with their parents too, because kids who do things like this tend to have shitty parents.

    Agreed.

  • If they actually did those things, it wouldn’t be slander.

    If I were to guess, I’d take it as “unless the kids knew/suspected with good reason they were doing those things”, because that’s how I would feel about it at least. I would still want to talk to them about appropriate responses and make sure they knew they could trust me, but kids don’t always know how to bring up adults’ misbehavior.

    If it’s just a fluke, that would feel like an ends justifying the means situation.

  • I appreciate the inclusion, but I would probably be considered phobic, if it came up enough to impact my life more. I rejected a window cubicle because the view was stressful and I avoid glass elevators, but that’s really it. Planes are totally fine, though I try not to dwell on actually being very high in the air.

  • I’ve thought about launching an anti woke brand and doing it, but the amount of hate I’d need to surround myself by would not be good for the soul
