Well I don’t mind at all.

Sounds a bit like the US. I live in New York City, there are a lot of bloated non profits that are just used as slush funds for rich people and networking. I’ve met a few people on occasion who work in non profits that do things like provide hiring metrics for other non profits instead of actually doing direct good, so you really need to be careful who you donate to.

I’m sorry that Germany also has long term issues with its social safety net, but it’s morbidly reassuring as an American to hear we’re not going to be the only ones on the sinking ship.

There was a post a while ago where a German person posted that they were confused by the US nonprofit systems, they basically said I pay my taxes and the government makes sure it’s spent feeding the needy and foreign aid and all that. Why should I go through the trouble of researching all these charities trying to find a good one to donate to.

Not that Germany doesn’t have non profits, but they really should be for special interest type cases where you explicitly want to send money to a cause, not general global well being.

You don’t understand, they’re making money so much faster than they can reasonably give away.

I could have sworn I had one, alas it’s nowhere to be found.

Don’t make anti religion jokes at work unless you’re with people you know well and that they will be ok with it, and you’re in a private area.

*that sounds like the caricature of you I have in my head

A group of 11 year olds made an irreverent joke? My god, what is society coming to.

AAVE is an umbrella term for a variety of dialects that developed in African American Communities. Jive is specificic to Harlem in the 30s and 40s but I guess people started using it to refer to all AAVE.

I got that it’s a meme, not a real oil Edvard Munch lainting. I just don’t want to encourage low effort slop, even if they manage to put out a good one every so often.

If they don’t believe in the idea enough to try investing some time into at least making a shit version (ie making a collage out of their headshot and the Munch painting) or spending time fine tuning and polishing an AI version, it’s probably not a good idea.

Had to take a second to see if it was obviously AI before upvoting. I hate this timeline.

It sounded like he was doing touristy hangglidinh,not anything especially dangerous.

Some of these adventure activities end up actually being pretty chill. I did zip lining, and it was like being on a motorcycle with the speeds it reached. Para sailing was the same, ended up being super chill, you’re just sitting there and get a nice view.

Yeah, because the Dems have been keeping him in news cycle after news cycle by attacking him so he can spread his policy ideas.

Yeah, buts it’s just a pot still most of the time, unless it’s raining. Then it’s kind of a packed bed with super loose packing.

I guess snow and hail are something completely different. Dunno what that would be called.

Both are happening.

It’s important to understand what went wrong so when you with on a fix, you won’t make the same mistake.

People can both bitch about politicians and also help fix the problem.

So long as the donor checks keep clearing, establishment Dems are happy to play spoiler for big business and let Trump destroy the country.

It’s as opposed to right wing Democrats who are also making islamophobic attacks against him.

Yeah, that’s a tough one.

If you’re young, that’s just how it is right now. You’re totally valid in feeling frustrated or inadequate but also know you’re not doing especially badly compared to others in your position.

If you’re older, it just takes some people longer before the pieces fall into place. Right person wrong time kind of deal.

And you should wear it with confidence. Honestly had the most respect for people who are really cute out in public but then reveal their true gremlin selves at home when the makeup is off and they’re in pajamas and a t shirt.

Means they really worked for those good looks, which most people really need to do at my age.

The animals know there is a weird device there, they just sniff at it and keep going. Humans would probably investigate weird out of place things, especially in cities and more dense areas.
