As far as I can tell, Wanker is very close to my favorite 90s insult: tool.

I keep waffling between “he’s an idiot” and the alternative “This is too easy.”

It’s not something to play as “crazy.” It’s not something to play as self-serving. I know the type “well I want to be bad, you said no evil characters, so this is as close as I can get.”

Nah. I’m in academia, so I know shit about finding private sector jobs, even less so in Germany. Sorry.

Apparently, somebody cut and edited it to make it sound a lot worse. He made some stupid word choices overall that somebody was able to splice together to make it sound much worse than it was.

I seem to recall this already being done in the vast majority of my domestic and international flights. What a sham to call it “enhanced security.”

I need to wear this while giving presentations. I could say whatever I wanted and no one would listen to a word I said.

It doesn’t demonstrate collusion without any ambiguity, it demonstrates attempted collusion with very little ambiguity. This has only the ambiguity of: where is that e-mail, and did DonJr read it? I’m assuming he did - why the hell else would you bring Kushner and Manafort to this meeting? You don’t bring them for “my…

There’s an idea. Some negative optics on that though.

Yep. I agree. I don’t get how setting cars on fire creates economic equality. For some reason this is a big issue. The Berlin group is really obsessed about a few small businesses that have been served eviction notices to make way for larger development. The thing is, they were lawful notices. There’s one housing…

Yeah...

Thanks for this. I was prepared for something pretty far out there when I read the title. Feet kind of turn me off, but that’s far from the strangest fetishes out there.

Just a quick Germany update today:

Thanks! I also like Leo, and I use dict.cc a lot too for German. But my French is woefully inept.

So yeah, it makes you feel better for the first 50 games. But it makes you feel like shit after you get placed. They take it away and give it back. The cost is feeling like shit between seasons.

Maybe there’s a translation issue? Seems like the main problem people have is he says “civilizational.” Someone with a knowledge of French could possibly tell us about word choice and context here.

Since he’s an Alabama politiician, I assume he’s talking about a border wall between Alabama and the rest of the United States?
