3 months agoIt’s not just tourists that need to worry about that stuff. I have friends with Somali heritage and they don’t want to go there either, even with having family there.

That doesn’t stop an absolute fuck ton of people believing in it. One of my friends is quite deeply into it, she’s in FB groups about it, and decides what everyone’s type is upon meeting them. According to her I only think it’s nonsense because I’ve only done the free online tests, not the proper one. She wouldn’t listen the other day when I tried to put her right about flouride in the water, either.
Myers Briggs is posh astrology.
The Osmonds were Mormons weren’t they, which I guess makes this banger a Mormon choon:
6·10 months agoHe and his wife have also changed the little girl’s name to an American one. That’s a sure indication they intend to disconnect her from her heritage. If they keep her there’s a good chance she’d come to hate them as an adult if / when she finds out with they’ve done. Absolute psychopaths.

I only ever see mine from a distance and never get the chance to say thank you. My mum used to give them a tip at Xmas.
YES! I read the book a long time before I saw the film and was so disappointed when I finally got around to watching it. And then I know people who read the book years after seeing the film and didn’t like it, because it was so different to what they were expecting. And that’s such a shame, because the film just doesn’t have the same depth to it.

I fucking miss her, her death was a real loss to the world. I wish we could just keep some people forever.
Brit here, I only realised a couple of years ago that the Arkansaw I heard mentioned in American TV and movies was actually the Arkansas I could see on maps. I think it was something said on Reddit, probably a thread similar to this, that was the revelation. And when I tell other Brits they’re invariably similarly clueless, and quite gobsmacked. I’m not sure if anyone I’ve mentioned it too has said “oh yeah I knew that”.

I pronounced it hyper-bowl in my head for a loooong time until I had to say it out loud one time and got laughed at.
My heating is set at 21°C (70F) for daytimes and 16°C (61F) for the night time, so it doesn’t come on at all during summer, and a lot of spring (UK). During winter when it gets colder out (like below about 6°C/43F) I will usually need to whack it up by a couple of degrees, or give it a little extra blast in the morning to warm up. Its an old building (late 1800s) and my flat has external walls on three sides, and a cold empty basement below, so it can get quite cold when the outside temperature drops.
Edited to make it clear i mean my heating thermostat, because I realised most people here are talking about AC and that’s very rare in homes here.
In the UK here, have you guys had a cool, wet summer too? And if so have people (not necessarily you as it seems you live in a modern well insulated home) needed to put the heating on? I’m in a flat in a late 1800s building and have put it on a couple of times to take the chill off, my mum’s in a 1920s semi detached and has had the heating on most days.
I thought this was an early misconception of the pandemic and had since been debunked?
Most of the funerals I’ve been to over the last 10 years were for heavy drinkers. At least 3 (including my dad) alcohol was the direct cause of the death.
Ahhh ok that makes more sense. They probably tend to go to Madrid, Barcelona, Granada etc.

I realised a relationship was doomed when I had a pregnancy scare. I was overjoyed when I got my period, and he told me he was sad. The man already had 3 kids by 3 different women, none of whom he saw, and I was like wtf how does he think I’d have a kid with him?? We broke up not long after. And every time I see him around town I thank my lucky stars I didn’t get stuck with him, as well as embarrassment I was with him in the first place.
