he probably keeps one of those bronzed, muscle bound, Trump images, the magas like so much, on his headboard, to keep it up

I can only image their sex life is either very ridged, and awkward, or it's like sex dungeon stuff.

I thought it was not that she didn't know about the wetness (self lubrication), more that she didn't understand the squirting orgasm, which is what the track is talking about at one point.

Contemporary appliances actually do fail more often, and earlier, than their predecessors. They have added a bunch of extraneous things to what was a very simple, stalwart, design. These additions have drastically increased the complexity of their designs and created many fold more points of failure than there used to be. It isn't so much that the manufacturing is sloppier, or that the materials aren't as good, though in some ways that is a contributor, just not the main one.

If you by a recently manufactured fridge like the following, you will get a fridge that will last decades if you do the minimum to keep it in good condition. However if you buy one that has an in door ice machine, lcd touch screen, complex lay out that requires the basic mechanical devices, to keep the fridge cool, to have a bunch of extra tubing, wiring, connections, etc. it is much more likely to fail because of all the extra points of failure you added.

They will just create a different one, like the atheists that are homophobic have.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

You can be convinced, you will be wrong though. Religion is a means of justifying otherism, not the origin of it. People will just create another bunch of bullshit to justify why they aren't bad people.

I know homophobes that are atheists. while religion being gone would decrease it, do not expect it to be gone just because of that. People will always have issues with people different than they are.

Yeah, I actually realized I didn't mention that once I was off of lemmy a while. Brain not braining.

This isn't trying to learn a language. This is memorizing a few key words to convey the most basic of necessities. I have lived in english speaking tourist places, and anytime it got popular, with a more culturally insular ethnicity (ie like people from the booming Chinese middle class who aren't working in a place that places value on knowing english), it's not that big of a deal. This happened A LOT with the economic miracle period, new middle class, of germany, and japan. Their inability to speak english isn't what bothered me, or anyone else where we were, it was their crass disrespect of property, propensity to wander off, alone, into the wilderness, etc. that made them bad tourists. Their home media trying to blame us for some idiot, that wandered off into death valley, with only a small bottle of water, didn't help. I can't expect someone raised in those conditions to know my language at all, and I wouldn't want them excluded, nor feel they should receive rude treatment, for not know how to say bathroom, or whatever.

However, if I spoke, say, simplified chinese, I would not continue speaking english to a chinese person I know I can't speak english, to have a clear communication venue, in their language. As long as they are not acting in a manner detrimental to where I live, they are fine. Who am I to expect everyone to know my language? Why would I exclude those people to greater exposure to my culture if that bothered me? That would be oppositional to my desire for them to better understand my language. Just sounds like misplaced frustrations that come with living in any tourist spot. Depending on exactly what you feel/do, maybe xenophobia.

I have been working on learning spanish for a couple years, in my free time. That is a language that is rapidly rising in importance in my country. That is why people actually try to learn languages.

Google "land taxes in medieval europe". It will likely come up with an article about england, but once you scroll past the typical google shit you will get a broader set of information on the subject.

What are you talking about? Land taxes were one of, if not the, most important tax group in medieval times.
