This is an old meme, from before even they had branded internet cultural phenomena as memes. “a hero” means suicide if I remember correctly, but I can’t remember the origin/context that spawned it

My mother worked in Germany in the late 60s (We are Norwegian) and her boss’ (and life long friend of the family) husband was 16 when he was literally drafted from HJ to the SS in early 45. He was a good jugend and it was an “honor” and such BS. But having spent all his childhood in nazi Germany he knew nothing else. He was captured by the Russians in Czechoslovakia and spent 5 years as a POW and the only reason he made it as far as becoming a POW was his age and because the SS NCOs made sure he didn’t get the SS serial number tattoo since he was so young.

God knows how he manages to survive, but I never knew him to not eat every morsel of food on his plate, and he never talked about his experience.

I shed no tears for Nazis, but I do shed tears for the duped and the “innocents” of any conflict.

Make sure she has no illnesses she can transfer to Nini before you let them permanently together

Just to clarify, I am at the point where I have hand painted for years :) The next step is continue to improve brush control, and perhaps airbrush

Think it’s the trap that if you continue with the hobby, all the starter gear is useless and all the money could have been spent on better equipment.

I paint miniatures. Not as often it as much as I would like to because of dividing my time between work, two year old and chores, but I have had the hobby for the last six years. I have yet to purchase an airbrush, and I can get a perfectly decent starter set for lets say 20 USD. But I can also get a better set with high end compressor, better paint gun.for 60 USD. I know that if I keep getting better at using the airbrush I will eventually get the high end stuff, why not “save” money and get it right away.

I am all for developing languages so that you get new words. And am I really dying on this hill. Hell no😊

Hnggnmgg. “sound of blood vessels popping”

The messyness must go tbh.We can’t have this bastardization we live with now😊🤪

Oh my… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_word

Edit: Omg Decathlon. A hybrid word in the Olympics…an event with Greek roots. #Sad

Its just a silly notion that you either choose a Greek root or a Latin root for a word. No mixing, just "wrong"😊

It bugs me less than directly translating English expression into Norwegian (my native toung). Some of them just sounds weird

What the fuck does the world bank need to advertise for?

Abolishing the word “automobile” since it mixes Greek and latin.

Norwegian here. Not that often I think of India tbh, but here is a short bullet point list

• Massive overpopulation
• Rich and dirt poor at the same time
• Castes
• Politically governed by nationalists
• Rape stories
• Massive market thats the only reason we care about India
• Good tech industry (moon landing?)
• Don’t go to Kashmir
• Holi
• Bollywood
• “Indian” food (know that some protein in some sauce with nan and rice is not all an entire subcontinent can offer)

Last show I saw about India was that James May show on Amazon

Diablo 4 and 3. Thats my dealbreaker

Kek came from the game not allowing cross faction communication. When horde said lol, the game spelled kek for the Alliance

Well done both. 1,5 year here. Not addicted but wanted my now 1,5 year old to never have a dad to hungover to do stuff or have even the slightest change of personality because of drink.

Cheap sub contractors need so much constant control to make sure things are delivered on spec that it is almost like it costs more than to hire the more expensive company with a reputation for solid work

Those really, extremely wide JNCO jeans. Other than that I still wear Billabong sweater with baggy jeans sporting Oakleys. Hairs to thin to frost the tips, but I don’t care. Or about the rolling eye stare from my wife
