That’s because I read your comment wrong 😅
Sorry, native speaker and language teacher here and I disagree. This is dialect dependent, but in my dialect at least, it’s the glottal stop at the beginning of a vowel sound that triggers it. Saying “an European” for me is like saying “an yellow.”
I don’t know if that’s a yeltsin or a Johnson joke
I’m your age and I’ve done it several times, including with my husband.
The caveat is that you start with coffee or a drink (my husband and I arranged to play mtg and have a beer), then the conversation is so nice that you order food or move from a cafe to a restaurant.
Now that I think about it, all the good relationships I’ve been in that weren’t with friends of mine involved dinner tacked onto the first date. When I’ve dated friends, it’s a very different progression, but doesn’t really involve restaurant dates at the beginning.
I also definitely would not eat there. I don’t know why it’s assumed that you would eat dinner there after being stood up. I’d be sad and I’d want to be alone, at absolute most I’d get takeout, but there’s probably a greasier takeout that I want, but have been restraining myself from. I’d very much prefer tacos/falafel to a date restaurant meal if I’ve just been stood up.

Sadly on brand.
As an example of the opposite, I recently got into a YouTube channel that does very involved videos about appliances (technology connections). It’s absolutely my bag, and I suspect that the audience is more neurodiverse than average.
I was super excited to see a video about fire alarms, but nearly didn’t watch it at all, because I did not want to hear one. I put it on mute with subtitles and the first thing the creator said was, “just so you know, I won’t be setting off any alarm sounds.” 🥰
Except how long could I really restrain myself from trying to skip the stone off of the nearest body of water?
Ignored HIV, gutted school funding, illegally sold arms to Iran to fund the Sandinistas, fired 11k air traffic controllers, started the culture wars…
There’s much more, but that’s a start
Warum ist das Wort „Vibe” männlich?
Ich weiß, dass die Frage eigentlich unlösbar ist, aber es interessiert mich, was andere Leute davon denken. Klingen „die Vibe“ und „das Vibe“ schlecht für euch? Hat jemand irgendeine Ahnung zur Etymologie?
Für Kontext, es gibt ein paar Regeln für das Genus fremder Worte (wer möchte, kann weiter scrollen):
-
Wenn die Form des Wortes im Deutschen existiert und immer das gleiche Genus hat, hat das Wort normalerweise dasselbe Genus, z.B. die Shrinkflation.
-
Fremdwörter, die Synonyme auf Deutsch haben, können das Genus dieses Synonyms kriegen, z.B. heißt es der Post, weil „post” synonym für „Beitrag” ist.
-
Fremdwörter sind sonst normalerweise neutral, z.B. das Banjo.
„Vibe” kommt von der englischen Abkürzung für „vibration“, welches auf Deutsch weiblich wäre. Deutsche Synonyme dafür sind meistens weiblich, z.B. die Stimmung, die Laune, die Schwingung, die Atmosphäre…
Gibt es vielleicht andere Eindeutschungsmöglichkeiten?
Thickeners for cream pies
If anyone has a better idea for a title, this one’s a little iffy…
I found a new yogurt flavor (alpro lemon-lime) that tastes just like key lime pie to me. I’d like to make it into an actual pie, but it’s a bit too runny.
I’d prefer to avoid cooking the yogurt, so I figured corn starch, flour, and tapioca would all be out. I could do chia seeds, but I don’t necessarily want that texture.
Any ideas?
Wenn überhaupt, welche Ressourcen stellen Universitäten zur Verfügung?
Hi, ich mache gerade mein Master in Deutschland, aber bin Ausländerin und kenne mich mit dem System nicht so gut aus. Ich weiß, dass es Ressourcen für manche Behinderungen gibt, zB für Menschen in Rollstühlen oder mit Sehbehinderungen. Gilt das auch für ADHS?
Ich frage, weil ich gerade an Schwung verliere, aber ich glaube eine Verlängerung des Studiums noch schwieriger wäre. Wenn jmd. mit ein bisschen Macht bei der Uni (damit sie glauben, dass ich wirklich etwas mache) mir mit der Ordnung und Planung aushelfen könnte, wäre das ein Gamechanger.
Are housecats aware of how much bigger people are?
I’m wondering if cats think of us kind of like how a person thinks of a friendly bull: aware that they could easily kill us, but not necessarily afraid of them; or more like a large Dalmatian: they could fuck us up, but most of us don’t really think about that unless they’re being aggressive.
I grew up with dogs and feel like I understand them a lot better than I do cats as a whole. I adopted my cat almost four years ago and I feel like I get her pretty well, but I don’t really have an idea of what she thinks about me. I also don’t really know any other cats, though I’ve gotten along with strays and friends’ cats a lot better since I got mine.
Cat tax:
Is there a wood hard enough to regularly scrape aluminum?
I’m sorry if this is not in the spirit of the community, but I figured my dad would know because of his experience woodworking, and I don’t want to ask him for obvious reasons. I’m happy to remove it if it doesn’t fit.
I have an aluminum herb grinder, that regularly gets jammed up with resin. I tend to use a regular (probably pine) food skewer to clean it off, because I don’t want metal shards coming off of the aluminum from a metal scraper or plastic pieces from a plastic scraper. The pine works okay, but I have to replace it regularly and it can’t get everything.
I know pine is probably one of the softest woods, but would a hard wood be significantly more durable if it were cut as thin as a skewer (4mm diameter round)? Would anything be both reasonably obtainable (I live in a place with frequently abandoned old furniture, if that would be a good source, or I can go to a lumber store) and more durable enough to be worth it?
My fiancé made vegan beef stroganoff because of you people
Mushrooms, onions, garlic, mustard, spinach, chili, vegan yogurt, vegan cevapcici , vegan beef broth, capers, and farfalle. It was incredible.
