I can only imagine how great that must have felt. As a kid I didn’t like the beach at all, I found the sand annoying () and it felt like a body show, which felt awkward and made me feel worse over how pale and skinny I am. And that’s without any gender anxiety.

But in recent years I have nurtured a wish that my life and self-esteem improves to the point that I can have an experience like this too. It’s become a kind of final proof of how much I would have grown as a person.

I have no idea what any of this is about, as per usual

I sometimes think about getting the game to do things like this. I just want to explore, the game itself doesn’t interest me that much.

Why should we bother to reply to Kautsky? He would reply to us, and we would have to reply to his reply. There’s no end to that. It will be quite enough for us to announce that Kautsky is a traitor to the working class, and everyone will understand everything.

To my knowledge the Kyle Rittenhouse trial was like that too, as in the prosecutors messing up big time.

The two allotropes of phosphorus

Bedankt, Rutte…

So there’s three things going on:

1. Rutte’s broken English means he didn’t understand the nuances of “daddy” versus “papa” in Dutch, which doesn’t carry the submissive undertones as much as the former.
2. In the Netherlands he’s known for his very casual and informal personality (“he’s the world leader that cycles to work!”). Dutch business culture is more relaxed, so here it works, but internationally it doesn’t.
3. He’s always been like this much of a bootlicker with Trump, even back during his first term. He really wants to be on good terms with the United States, so when Trump is in charge he always kisses the ring.

You weren’t kidding…

In Dutch we have “wappie” which means the same thing

Woah, you actually live in Alaska?

The “Phoney War” was the first months of the Second World War

Sounded familiar, so I checked and it’s from 4 years ago.

Faced with these serious allegations, Cuomo at first attempted a bizarre defence. “I’m not perverted, I’m just Italian,” is how Fox News characterised it, which was amusingly accurate. Cuomo suggested that the fact that some women had perceived sexual abuse might be attributed to differing “generational or cultural perspectives”. In a video statement, he proceeded to show lots of photographs of him kissing people in public – a gesture, he said, that is intended to show “warmth”. He further admitted that he sometimes calls people “sweetheart”, as if that were his greatest fault.

I also found this in the search results:

Someone here defined it as knowing when to follow authority, which I found a good one.

Professor Yu says China’s expansive internet infrastructure plays a key role in driving the trend. “Internet connection is everywhere. The internet connectivity in the small villages is no different to Beijing.” And this had allowed young people to both share their lives and earn an income using digital media, Professor Yu says.

“The old kind of rural lives are limited to farming or herding, but digital media has created new opportunities,” Mr Chen says. “For example, what I’m doing helped the farmers to sell their products and brought more attention to the village.” “Our town has become quite commercialised now,” Ms Wang adds. “There is a mixture of local and outsiders’ shops. A mixture of old and new things.”
