Human nature




I remember when I was in high school Huckabee took away our soda machines because he had just lost a lot of weight and thought that kids shouldn't be allowed sugary drinks, the meltdown that followed was pretty ugly. A couple of weeks later we got our sodas back without comment. That's my Huckabee story, thanks for listening.

How to be a Baptist Preacher:

2. Find something the kids are interested in.
3. Declare it sinful and a sign of moral degeneracy.

Can confirm weapons on full display in poor country markets.

The one I used to shop at in South America, had guards with shotguns and pistols in it, and they were parked at the end of every aisle. That is, when they were feeling up to the job. Most of the time they were sauntering around the store swinging their shotguns around like they were an umbrella they brought in from the rain. Can you tell me where the fruit section is? Over there *points with shotgun*. Oh sir, you dropped this item! *puts pistol down on shelf, walks away from it*. Oh, what a cute baby you have, m'am! *shows gun to baby*.

In Central America you get a lot of old armed mans outside one 100% of banks and 50% or convenience stores.

Once stayed in El Salvador at a Comfort Suites. And there were camoed soldiers with addualt rifles around the perimeter. The buffet was delicious.

I never got that. Shouldn't you want your armed guards REALLY NOTICEABLE? Like, fluorescent orange and cyan blue shock and awe colours?

Inversely, I sometimes see members of the UK army in their forest camo in the city center. I'm like, dude there's no forest here! If you wanna blend in, try jeans and a t shirt.

The bank I used to use had a shotgun guard out front, and he was permanently standing in a "shotgun half raised" stance. So every time you walk up the steps he'd turn to you with shotgun half raised and stare you down until you got inside the bank.

Consider this. The navy has blue water camo. Now you are never going to blend into water on your grey boat to hide from your enemies. So the only thing you are going to do is obscure yourself if you accidentally go overboard off a ship and make it harder for rescuers to find you. They realized this and the Navy is going away from pointless blue camo. Coast Guard wears dark blue solid color though, same problem.

Ehh if guards wore bright uniforms it would be more obvious when they're on break / didn't show up to work / weren't employed at a particular location. Better to have the possibility of a ninja guard looming over the heads of criminals :v:

The navy's pointless blue camo actually consists of coverall blue, black, switchboard grey, and seafoam green, so that when we get paint all over ourselves our uniforms aren't ruined.

What is it with germans that they have words for everything weird?

I'm pretty sure it's just that you can combine words without spaces or hyphens in German so it looks like one word in English, but a German would just read it as a compound word. Like how in English someone who throws apples could be referred to as an "apple-thrower", but that doesn't mean we have a specific word for "person who throws apples" like as though that's a common thing.

Yeah, new compound words can be created in most Germanic languages by just cramming words together.

English kinda does it too, they're just called open compounds because they contain a space but they're still one unit, cf. German Videokamera vs. English video camera.

Most dictionaries only include compounds that have some specific or additional meaning that cannot be sussed out from the parts.

I fundamentally do not understand why people enjoy this stuff. It's the same thing as lolcats but with an anti-establishment bent. Animals talking in funny voices, which is what you would say that humans find humorous if aliens were asking and you were pressed for time.

Let me try and break it down for you.

Layer 1.) The image. This is funny because a dog is holding it's own leash. This is funny because normally a human would be holding that leash!

Layer 2.) The overlaying of text. This is funny because it reveals an inner monologue for an animal incapable of vocalizing speech!

Layer 3.) The content of the text. This is funny because we exist in a capitalist society where the majority of the population serves as the working proletariat, that must sell its labor to live. In the process profit is created for the capitalists and workers are alienated from the fruits of their labor!

Layer 4.) The content of your post. This is funny because a dog understands that we have nothing to loose but our chains, while you toil in ignorance of your situation!

Hi, welcome to Australia. We have universal healthcare and a minimum wage that you can (almost) live off. $20 for avo on toast and a coffee is on the expensive end of things in the rich areas but totally believable. When the view from your cafe is something like this you maybe don't care that you could get it cheaper elsewhere.

Cheap diners probably don't even serve avocado and feta on 5 grain toast. That's the most pretentious toast ever.
