My grandpa was shot by fascists because he refused to fight in their fascist army. So in my book, lazer mullets that kill fascists are the best kind of mullets.

the abrupt “time to leave” even if you’re not done

Seems like you went to the more touristy places. Or Munich. Or a touristy place in Munich. They tend to be a little brusque and unfriendly there… It really pays off to look for places on Maps which are highly rated and a little off the beaten path. Some real gems there. I could name a few restaurants in Berlin which serve awesome German (!= Bavarian!) food that isn’t repetitive.

Der braucht ein bisschen.

As if denying millions of Americans access to proper healthcare wasn’t enough, they appointed an anti-science, anti-vaxx idiot as if to make sure even more harm would be inflicted on them.

Must be a case of this superior sense of humor that we Germans famously do not possess.

Wait… what?

Fun fact: Eddie Izzard once came to Berlin and did comedy gigs in German language. My favourite creation of his: Ausgefuckingzeichnet!

Here’s my theory: All diplodocuses, much like all brontosauruses, are thin at one end, much MUCH thicker in the middle, and then thin again at the far end. That is the theory that I have and which is mine, and what it is too.

My ICQ was 1428816.

And when young people ask me if I ever play multi-player games… my dude, I played the first one. Midimaze on Atari ST.

If this comment saves only one person from wasting their money, it is worth it:

Do not buy Focal Bathys.

The build quality is super cheap, mine broke not even two years after purchase. The plastic surrounding the metal bits that connect the central part to the ear pads will break sooner or later.

Nah, you can absolutely use any type of salsiccia you like. I happen to love fennel seeds in the resulting dish so I use that type.

Yeah, I forgot to mention pre cooking the pasta. Thanks for spotting this.

I hate how accurate this is.

This is also how they end.

I never specifically said “joining US military is bad”, I said joining the military in general is a bad thing. And neither did I talk about nukes, which are the ultimate evil.

I also never demanded to remove the military capabilities of one country, leaving it open for other countries to attack. I never talked about these things, about balance of power, about mutually assured destruction and all these geostrategic aspects of military logic.

All I said was - if you are a person who joins your country’s military, I despise you. Period. This is a statement I made completely disregarding all these other aspects you mention, and it is completely logically valid on its own.

You failed to get the point I was making. Just because the military is a driving factor to technological progress, doesn’t mean it’s a good thing all of a sudden. And all that progress could also have been made by science. Wernher von Braun didn’t care who funded his research into rockets.

Would we have the Autobahn if Hitler hadn’t built it?

We wouldn’t see images like the Iranian girl’s rucksack smeared with blood.

I despise anyone who becomes a soldier of their own free will. The moment you enlist, you accept that you could be obliged to kill, and that you will have no control over whether that killing will be justified.

In other words, you accept the possibility that you could become a murderer.

I’m at the age where I sometimes start sentences with “I’m at the age where”.
