I'm not sure if you're pulling my leg, but sure, I get that. But what is a single/double/triple stripe month?

Now I am really curious...

What do the number of black stripes under the months designate?

"How about we do THAT first."

Why not do both? Why make it an OR decission

Tax the rich and push for government reform.

Well, to be honest, apart of the aliens thing, everything you said is true.

So how is your housemate wrong?

And aliens? That's an American thing. Only Americans are abducted and only America gets attacked by aliens in the movies. (And South-Africa)

Ah, I see. Thanks for taking the time to explain!

The spoiler could be handy if people keep asking you questions like I did.

Okay, I'll bite:

Why are you putting a by-nc-sa 4.0 copyright disclaimer in your posts? Does that actually limit/grant anything?

Serious question, I don't understand.

Why say "unalive" here on lemmy?

So... we are in the Bad Place?

Got to love that picture: shares an insightful post about cat psychology regarding how to tell when a cat feels safe. Follows up posting a picture of a scared/triggered cat :D

Although it is true what you say and I do agree, I also read between your lines that maybe you don't know how difficult and (life)long that process is.

An eating disorder is a disease/issue that honestly isn't solvable, you carry that weak point for the rest of your life and will have to battle it. Which with eating is extra difficult, since you have to eat. You can't stay sober from food.

(But maybe I misunderstood your words (being written text without further context). )

"Only downside is that there's no way it's good for you."

That's a big 'only downside'. You should check how much salt is in those things.

(Why can't they make processed foods healthy?)

Nice choice of the word/idiom cudgel, since a cudgel is a small (child?) version of a weapon.

You're playing a dangerous game with those kind of words makker

Probably.

More probable than the scenario you're painting. I mean, if Biden did have anything to do with that, he wouldn't put a spotlight on it by tweeting about it. (And no, don't start to accuse him with "distraction" or "false flag" tactics, that's just doubling down with conspiracy theories, we're better than that)

Please don't call it the "xkcd rule". /2+7 existed already in the 80's (that I can recall), maybe even earlier.

A dragon is known for hoarding treasure, which it of course doesn't need.

Maybe also get heavier switches?

Oh no, the world is now seriously doing what was a funny satirical subplot in the movie Brewster's Millions.

Movies are not meant as instructions people, cmon!

Huh, and today I am a lucky 10,000. Had to google the song, never heard it. Thanks for you anecdote and my subsequent discovery!!

Yeah, I think you are confusing the German with the Dutch. (Which happens a lot...)

Dutch generally speak several languages. Germans in general speak only German and rudimentary English (if you're lucky).

(A common Dutch gripe with visiting German tourists is that Germans just assume the Dutch speak German (which they mostly do, so okay, they've got a point, but still) and just start speaking German without asking first)
