“If you can’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?”

In all seriousness, no. Cis hetero men who are afraid of gay men, more often than not are afraid of either: “catching the gay”, as if it was a cold, or something, or they are afraid that they will be touched, they’ll like it, and hence become “less of a man”.

*Insert English gentlemen laughing smugly*

As i see it, “you don’t have to respond” sounds more like “i like you and i like to spend time with you, but i don’t really want to go out with you”. You know, letting the guy down easy.

Or bring back unions and establish collective bargaining.

I was only half joking, and i wasn’t directing this joke towards anyone other than me. My own emotions are very placated, and over my life i have learned to pretend they are more intense in order to fit better. As other people, i guess, i half jokingly think to myself if i really am human.

Hey, i never said that pretending to be human was fun!

That’s what i do. Since my emotions are very restrained naturally, i observed how people act when they feel them magnified, and learned to replicate them.

It’s not about adjusting your personality. It’s about supressing your personality, and then creating a likable fake persona that you wear as a mask.

One day i have to get the English version. The Spanish dub was exceptional, i infer, due to the amount of localized jokes, rather than defaulting to a literal translation that probably would have left an unfunny mess. But i wonder how funny the original jokes were.

What would you tell to a person whose first Scooby-Doo cartoon was the one with Scrappy-Doo?

By material i mean that, were that to happen in my country, Nintendo would have to establish a causal link between the interview and a sale loss, and prove that this causal link actually happened. This is extremely hard to prove, since sales are affected by so many things, and his interview had had very low reach…

No, the idea is that if the worker/union sues for wrongful termination, the company has to prove it wasn’t. It would have to provide material evidence of the economic harm directly produced by the worker’s interview, in this case.

Not everywhere. In countries where workers have rights, the worker could sue the company for wrongful termination, and in the trial, the onus would be on the company to prove that the words of the employee had caused a measurable economic damage to the company.

That’s an important aspect of “false rape allegations”.

English and German tourists are notorious all over Europe* because of being terribly rude and obnoxious tourists. And loud drunks at night. A tax on those nationalities isn’t unwarranted.

*or at least in the Mediterranean Europe, because they consider us to be racially inferior or something. Maybe they are perfectly…

And yet, Kenya was a British colony, and the majority of Christians are protestant.

Where i come from, jokes tend to be funny. Simply stating something contrary to the truth is not funny, or mathematics and history exams would be the primary source of humor in the world.

This should be good. After all this article is a journalist dissing on people who talk like experts about every topic!

It’s not uncommon at all in physics meetings and congresses, when someone does a presentation and eventually people ask something that we don’t know. “Oh, that’s a great question, we don’t really know”. Good times.
