I want to travel to Germany to eat bratwurst, schnitzels, and spätzle, washed down with hefeweizen and shots of jägermeister, preferably in a place that is not humid.

At which point my mind will find anagnorisis, followed by peripeteia, leading to serendipity

Oktoberfest is coming! Or is it already here?

Goons Are Gifts

It's English words because German consists entirely out of various synonyms for beer and that would be a weird but not uncommon way to tackle a disease, however it does fit the current Oktoberfest where I heard they apparently drink beer for whatever reason.

If a therapy dog's job is to calmly receive pets and affection, then how would they spend a day off? I'm sure they would prefer to receive pets and affection, but they can now exercise their own agency to receive it on more of their own terms than having to endure it out of a sense of duty.

In that respect, a therapy cat can choose to simply not work and request their own space at any time.

Which has the better work life balance, I wonder?

On their days off they roll around in feces and/or dead animals and lose it at delivery people.

I mean, technically, no they are not. But having Schadenfreude in the Kindergarten with the other Bratwursts is somehow so well understood in the English speaking world that it made it into the dictionary the robot I used to generate the words is using, so these words may actually appear, too.

As long as you can order a beer in German though, you are probably safe in any way, because that solves any problem at all times.

You are definitely on a roll today, because you just triggered a third word in one day. My research found out that animal/animals is indeed infected, triggering a double infection inside of the already infected you, resulting in a super infection! You will now STAY infected even after the first treatment in the leper's colony that you will have to start now, which means you have to get another treatment afterwards to really cure you.
Also, the disease has mutated again, swapping out the now clear word "animal" for something else, plus adding another highly infectious word to the infection list.

This is getting brutal, because with this mutation the three currently infected posters will now go for special treatment in the leper's colony. I hope you will be able to enjoy your time regardless, because I heard they have fresh pudding there right now.

I would say if a loan word is widely understood it becomes an English word. I mean, most loan words change meaning as loan words. I mean douche means shower in French and is a loan word for shower in German as well. English is almost half loan words anyways.

Japan has a ton of English loan words, many of which have an altered meaning in Japanese, but the local definition is understood.

Goons Are Gifts



You are treading on dangerous ground here, double posting an obviously very infected word like a madman! You can call yourself lucky that only the first one triggered because it was yourself posting it in the following post. Still, it was very much infected, is very much clear now, but replaced by another infected word plus the plague mutated and developed a seventh word on the infection list.

Oh what dire times we live in.

Hey guys, I'm starting to think this "posting" thing that doctor in the alley behind the Moe's Southwest Grill isn't really a cure. I'm kind of feeling like I shouldn't have given him all my bones in exchange for this information. Plus now that I think about it, he looked a lot like a dog someone dressed up like a doctor, probably on account of how cute that would be. It would explain why he wanted all my bones so much.

Anyway I think my trash bag and garbage suit is worth another conversation. If we could talk about it without everyone yelling at me that would be great because I have anxiety. So, uh, house meeting at 7 I guess. Hope to see you there.

Wikipedia posted:

According to the linguist Suzanne Kemmer, the expression "foreign word" can be defined as follows in English: "[W]hen most speakers do not know the word and if they hear it think it is from another language, the word can be called a foreign word. There are many foreign words and phrases used in English such as bon vivant (French), mutatis mutandis (Latin), and Schadenfreude (German)."[13]

I will admit that schadenfreude sounds extremely german, but it's darn useful and may well fully assimilate. "kindergarten" I would say is so ubiquitous that most speakers don't think about it as a foreign word.

when i was in saskatchewan i said gesundheit and people did not understand or use that word, even tho' there is a large german contingent that came to like, kick the natives out and farm. you'd think this extremely common term would not confuse the heck out of them but oh welp.



also, they call hooded sweaters "bunnyhugs" and it makes me want to puke

Bunnyhug flu is sweeping Canada at alarming rates. Infected people, colloquially known as "bunnyhuggers" spread their disease by wearing their insidious comfy uniform and hugging innocent victims.

Guys! I think I found a book that could really help us out with this little pickle we've gotten ourselves into!


Wikipedia posted:

The Plague (French: La Peste) is a novel by Albert Camus, published in 1947, that tells the story of a plague sweeping the French Algerian city of Oran. It asks a number of questions relating to the nature of destiny and the human condition. The characters in the book, ranging from doctors to vacationers to fugitives, all help to show the effects the plague has on a populace.

The novel is believed to be based on the cholera epidemic that killed a large percentage of Oran's population in 1849 following French colonization, but the novel is placed in the 1940s.[1] Oran and its environs were struck by disease multiple times before Camus published this novel. According to a research report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Oran was decimated by the plague in 1556 and 1678, but all later outbreaks, in 1921 (185 cases), 1931 (76 cases), and 1944 (95 cases), were very far from the scale of the epidemic described in the novel.

The Plague is considered an existentialist classic despite Camus' objection to the label.[2][3] The narrative tone is similar to Kafka's, especially in The Trial whose individual sentences potentially have multiple meanings, the material often pointedly resonating as stark allegory of phenomenal consciousness and the human condition.

Camus included a dim-witted character misreading The Trial as a mystery novel as an oblique homage. The novel has been read as a allegorical treatment of the French resistance to Nazi occupation during World War II.[4] Additionally, he further illustrates the human reaction towards the "absurd".[5] The Plague represents how the world deals with the philosophical notion of the Absurd, a theory that Camus himself helped to define.

where is the plague getting all these words anyway? If it's got a dictionary book it should be pretty easy to take that away. It sounds like a real nerd plague so we could knock the dictionary out of its hands (and give it a swirly too as revenge for our fallen friends). If it's got an online dictionary then I think we're hosed. Once a disease gets online it becomes a cyber-disease and everyone knows only Neo Matrix can bust those bad boys.

the main difference between a dildo and a race horse is that the second is about riding a horse and the third is about competing," he says. "If you come up with a dildo and you are riding a horse, you might just have to get rid of it. There are a lot of laws out there."

Still, it seems that many people have ideas of what's legal and what isn't. "People are always like, 'This is all legal!,'" he says. "It's funny, because every time you say, 'This is not legal,' you've already put that condom in the wrong pile."

I want to do a survey about this. What do you think of the law at this point?

the parable of the pencil and the capybara


Clyde: The capybara is not a fruit but an invertebrate, which is to say that it cannot be seen in its natural habitat. It requires sunlight.


Roxanne: We like children.


Clyde: Of course.


Roxanne: No, the capybara can't see light. It can but it has no sense of taste!


Clyde: Well, it can't.


Roxanne: It would have a very strange sense of taste, because the only way the capybara could see light is by being underwater. So, you see, it is very good at swimming, but it cannot see light in the water.


Clyde: I believe that you don't understand capybara.


Roxanne: No.


Clyde: I would like you to go ashore, and explain.
