Yes! I only recently discovered this was a thing after cows suddenly started getting bird flu and someone said “maybe we shouldn’t have been feeding them bird shit?”
Don’t believe me? Search for “broiler litter” or “poultry litter” and “cow feedstock.”
Man, I didn’t know London was it such bad shape. It’s in black & white. That’s crazy.
The recent German book “the door to door bookstore” (original “Der Buchspazierer”) actually has a scene involving one of these orators.
I had to re-read a whole section of the book because I thought for sure I was misunderstanding part of the German text. But, nope.
Great feel good book for people who like books, btw.
Oh yes, these states are red because the Republican party has convinced them all to vote against their own interests.
Many may not understand this, but the single most important voting point to most in my area is abortion. The churches have convinced the masses that it is basically the ultimate sin. They will choose any candidate with an R (Republican party) next to their name on the ballot.
They’ve also convinced them that social programs are for lazy layabouts, and they should be cut. Even if the abortion issue were somehow solved, it would not change much.
It really depends on where you look. In rural areas of red states (states in which the majority of elected officials are members of the Republican party), things are pretty bad. Red states tend to have fewer (read: almost no) social programs.
I have a bit of a unique perspective on the dichotomy, because one side of my family is firmly in the lower class and the other firmly in upper middle.
There’s a big difference for the two. It’s like two different countries. For the lower class, what you’ve described is indeed normal. And many in the other classes would not believe that it is that bad for them.
Artisan brioche buns. Plant based burgers are more expensive then the real thing for some reason (and full of salt). That Danish is a ripoff.
No, sorry. My brain literally shuts off when people even begin to mention cars, sports, pretty women… Things that I care nothing about.
I kept seeing European football posts. And car racing. I just block any of those communities when I see them. ADHD and autism memes too. There’s a lot of those for some reason.
I got the joke, but I didn’t think about furbies having different life cycles. You’ve got a good point.
Makes me sad that this implies your Furby is likely to die before you do.
You don’t start menopause at 25 years old. This makes no sense.
Fingernail polish can be used to mark the snakes. It’s non toxic and won’t rub off. You can get it in bright colors and it’s cheap.
It may have something to do with a change in how we teach kids to read in the USA about 20 years ago.

My second favorite German word. Right after “vielseitig.”
You sit through your alarm for 28 minutes every day? (Assuming you get two days off per week)
Study: [Extremely obvious thing that everyone knows]
The lead singer of the German band, AnnenMayKantereit. (The band name is just three surnames smooshed together.)
Here’s my favorite song by them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tERRFWuYG48&t=4 which translates to “barefoot at the piano”
Another great song, a bit more up-beat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6BmrRLpGJQ&t=3 which translates to “would you go out with me?”
Slide. It was open source and available on f-droid. It had been a while since the last update and some features were long longer working (in-app YouTube Playback). But I would just open in browser things that didn’t work.
It was very easy to use and highly customizable, which is why I used it. And zero ads. Can’t stand ads of any kind.
I caught some flak because my husband is 8 years younger. I reminded my family that they let my mom get married off at 14, and nobody brings it up anymore. Tennessee (USA), if you’re wondering.
