limiting water is useful for keeping the time it’s not yet boiling short, but also may then dip below boiling if you put in too much pasta and have too little water. as always balance is key and I’m a jenga tower.

some phishing emails also have a button like that, very funny

curiously benadryl isn’t used for allergies in germany, but you can still buy it in pharmacies as an otc sleep aid. same dosage too, 50mg, called extra strong in america but sold as just the regular sleep aid in germany.

in germany uber eats has hired exactly zero drivers, they’re all sub-subcontractors, which is major bs, and some parties are looking into forced employment for algorithmic workers

i suppose so, but calling it ukraine without an article in german just seems off to me. i don’t like saying it, it feels wrong, and speech is often about vibes. in english I’m perfectly fine calling it ukraine. i guess it’ll take a few years for me to adapt.

in german ukraine is called “die ukraine”, it’s even on the german wikipedia just to prove a point: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukraine

that’s just what ukraine is called in german, and she’s just translating a bit literally

there’s plenty of reasons to hate her, her party, and her base, but poor english shouldn’t be one of them

no i don’t think so actually

is the attribution censored/pixelated out?

everyone clearly knows a family is a competitive relationship. if you help each other i will sic ICE on you! no communism allowed in my god-fearing country!

rules aren’t neutral or grown out of the void. people with biases and maybe even ambitions create them for specific purposes

EDIT: To quote Anatole France: “The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.”

one has a lot more power and uses a lot more space than the other
