Oh, that sounds dreadful :( I grew up in a shitty place, but maybe not that shitty....

ETA: redacted. You're allowed to get your panties in a twist over things like this because you're German, so obvi you feel targeted. I also think it's just super fucking hilarious that you're throwing around some of your own prejudiced bullshit at me while getting all stressed out about perceived xenophobia. I am very…

Ha :p I don't either, I just clicked through to his YouTube channel and noticed that his newer videos are in the US.

I kind of think they are, actually. Like, most of his more recent videos are made in the States, but this one is unmistakably filmed in Germany. I want to believe it!

Ooo! Animals are the best! My fave is Waschbär.

haha, yes! Now and then, though, you come across one that is a bit more metaphorical and that leaves going "huh?" For example, Spiegelei is a fried egg...which, ok, I guess I can kind of make that work with some imagination, but something like Kühlschrank makes a lot more sense.

I don't that's a typical response...and it seems like everyone in the comments are totally digging this Flula dude who is OBVIOUSLY capitalizing on English speakers' preconceptions about Germanness. So, I guess what I'm saying is get off your goddamned high horse.

And also more specific! ;)

My dad is wonderful and lovely, but is a patriarchal stick in the mud about a few things. His feelings were *really* hurt when my ex failed to ask for my hand. Ex said he thought it was stupid and none of my dad's business because of course he would have said yes, and as a feminist didn't I think it was bullshit…

Dudes, German grandmas are stylish as fuck. Like, asymmetrical haircuts, and badass shoes and everything. I love it here.

I half love these, but the other half of me is like , "But, but, Heißwasserspeicher and Umweltverschmutzung are totally logical when your break down the compound words!"

Wait, what show is that from? I'm not in the US, so sometimes I don't find out about cool stuff in a timely fashion :(

What?! No. I don't believe you. Where the shit is this, that it is normal to get goddamned syphilis more than once? I'm just in total disbelief right now.

I wonder when they added the measles immunity into the blood test. My parents got married in NM in the 70s, but when my mom was preggo with me in the mid 80s, they found out that she had no measles immunity and she had to get vaccinated after I was born. I know they took blood tests, but you would think that they…

It is no longer for sale through Etsy, unfortunately, but you can see all the pics here. Mine is a real size 8 (not a stupid wedding dress size 8), and it could be altered a bit in either direction, but not too much at the waist because of the beading. It's also not so much of a white silver as in the pics...well, it…

Wait, are you serious? Because I was pretty serious.

Recruiters ARE really aggressive. My mom is a high school librarian, and she has banned them from entering the library because she has a lot of low income, minority kids who hang out there during breaks and lunch. She sees their practices as predatory, especially with these kids, and told the principal that under no…

I'm actually going to recant the leggings because I'm seeing this as more of a poncho than shirt....so I think now is the time for that bitchin jumpsuit that Jane Marie posted on the sales article on Friday. Like, if there is ever a time for that jumpsuit, this is it. It solves all the practical problems of lifting…

Dude, yes. Matte black leggings and ankle boots with some gold detail. Dope, indeed. You could even get away with those super cool shiny black leggings. Well, not me personally, but in general, one could do so.

Attention ladies with hot flashes or non-menopausal night sweats: go pee. Seriously, my aunt figureed this out and let my mom in on the secret, and mom told me. I like to say that I "sleep hot" but really I have night sweats, and getting up and going pee before stripping off all my clothes really helps me go back to…
