gallantry kind of implies some sort of sexism i guess 🤔 Which explains many things
as a woman it's kind of terrifying to be suddenly lifted and not recommended

You can lift people by allowing them to step on your hands as they cross something. I thought you meant that anyway.

is it a good idea to watch a horror movie on a date?
fair iron
Yes
toxic urchin
I think it could, she'd be scared and insist you to stay with her
fair iron
Your date will mistake her raised heart rate with excitement stemming from your presence.
So it's also a good psychological trick.
Her: Ooh my heart is pounding
It must be because I'm with my date.
👍

Or it could have the opposite effect. She ignores her feelings for you assuming it's just the movie causing it.

Oh come on American food isn't that bad. The recipes at least, the way they process food items here is abominable and would be illegal in any reasonable country. But clearly you've never had good proper southern food because the stuff's good. Italians make good food too, but just because we're the ez cheez country doesn't mean all of us are incapable of making something good :)

Midsomer Murders (English TV show) has zero non-white cast members.
Or had, for quite some time.
hot cloak
still, 13% is not very much. I think the "black quota" in the media might have influenced my perception/expectations
fair iron
It became a running joke.
hot cloak
crazy ex girlfriend has a surprising number of minorities in it
i was pleasantly surprised
all things considered i don't think it's a good thing to forcefully include diverse ethnicities in anything
fair iron
Definitely.
hot cloak
i don't think it's "force" when those people exist
it's not a bad thing either in most cases
hot cloak
i'd rather see a "forced" diverse show that is written well and not weirdly stilted by white people than yet another all-white cast 🤔
don't get me wrong if the cast represents a functionally random sample of people, it should definitely include a varied cast
fair iron
^
hot cloak
yeah i mean crazy ex girlfriend has white people
knowing how much of an irl bot i am, if i were in charge i'd look up at the statistics and include that percentage of ethnicities in my cast xD
the main character is white (though jewish)

You should watch 13 reasons why
fair iron
Started it.
hot cloak
all jokes aside it only gets annoying when they do it in an obnoxious way. Sometimes it's really obvious that some members of the cast have a certain ethnicity because they just had to include them
which is usually synonimous with bad writing
yeah
or when they adapt a different media and switch the ethnicities around for no reason at all
i liked the writing for the show, everybody was just a person
not like the quota-fulfilling ethnicity or whatever
still need to watch season 2 but its not on netflix seufz
stephen king's the dark tower: picture the protagonist like basically clint eastwood. At some point there's a big part of the plot revolving around a black girl, and blablabla
they decided to cast a black actor as the protagonist
why? Who fucking knows, but now there's no way they can render that part of the plot decently
welp :\
that black girl i mentioned is one of the main characters btw, and she's super important, so why even
grand oriole
I think the fact that they place so much importance on having a racial quota, just gives more importance and weight to race, which makes racism more prevalent. If everyone treated skin colour like haircolour then it takes the power away from racial politics.
hot cloak
yes, that's the perspective most europeans i talk to have, myself included
if race wasn't a big deal you wouldn't make up rules specifically for it
i don't think ignoring it makes it go away
that basically doesn't work for ... anything
i've heard some people mention how italy has no law against racial murder. That's because we just consider it murder. If any kind of discrimination is a factor we have a law for that
it's not ignoring as much as just make equality a natural thing, not an imposed rule
opal sequoia
Not so much ignoring, but the problem may be that it makes it a chore/obligation instead of a natural part of socialization.
Right.
hot cloak
if you have to tell a country not to be racist, then that country is racist (dramatisation)
but as long as systems are in place that oppress them, it's not equal still
even if you for example just treat all murder the same
it's two different things
systems that oppress // systems that promote
grand oriole
But quotas especially don't help then. If a company must hire 5% black employees, then a white guy applies for job and is rejected just so that they reach the quota - is that not also in a way discrimination against the white guy? He's unemployed just because he isn't a minority
fair iron
It is.
If I owned a company, I would never hire based on a quota. I would simply hire whoever happens to be most qualified / suited to the job.
hot cloak
the first ones should be abolished (if istitutionalised), then prohibited, then punished. The second ones should not be a thing, because it does not solve the problem, it gives ammunition to the racists and it emphasises the problem to no avail
on that topic, I don't really like this thing that photos are required on german CVs
so i've heard at any rate
yeah i dont submit my photo, ever
i refuse
"that girl is ugly, i prefer hiring this other one"
it shocks me that it's standard practice
that's a good way to get your app thrown the fuck out in the US lol
grand oriole
In Germany don't you HAVE to provide a photo in the Lebenslauf?
hot cloak
yeah
well
ive been applying to a looooot of jobs and studies and ausbildungen lately
and they always put (optional)
but ... it's expected
grand oriole
I'm not sure how I feel about it tbh
hot cloak
i figure if they're dying to know what i look like, they can invite me to an interview if they like my qualifications
and they will find out then
fair iron
I also dislike having to insert a photo of myself.
Knowing what I look like just influences the process in some way.
grand oriole
But I guess more and more employers expect you to have LinkedIns aswell, and there you are expected to have a photo also.
hot cloak
there's no real reason to require a photo unless your appearance is integral to the job
as full disclosure i have visible tattoos and a facial piercing so your mileage may vary lel
grand oriole
I don't really like it myself. But if I had to defend it, I'd say it allows them see how professionally you dress/show yourself
toxic urchin
I don't have a photo on linkedin
hot cloak
i dont have a photo on linkedin or xing
toxic urchin
I dont have a photo on fb
hot cloak
yeah but no one is gonna dress like shit for their lebenslauf pic, you know?
so it just becomes a beauty contest
toxic urchin
Whats lebenslauf?
grand oriole
Well. maybe the 1% of idiots will, in that case it helps them filter out the idiots
hot cloak
CV/resume
yeah but then what do you do with the rest of them after you throw out that 1%?
grand oriole
but yes, it's IMPOSSIBLE not to be influenced by sexual attraction, it's proven in many studies already that attractive people are more likely to get the job, regardless of how impartial the employer tries to be
hot cloak
imo it should just be forbidden by law to submit CVs with a photo except for some particular jobs
you can't even say "you can't require the photo" because then they can just suggest it and "casually" reject everyone who doesn't have one
toxic urchin
I don't think you need a cv for jobs that require a photo, like modeling or acting
grand oriole
It doesn't make that much difference in the long run, because they will see you in the interview anyway, if you aren't going to get the job due to appearance, it will just happen at the interview. But anyway, it's amazing what a difference lighting and colour enhancement can make to a photo, I'm fairly happy with my Lebenslauf, but usually I wouldn't put ANYWHERE as much effort as I did for that photo.
hot cloak
that's more of what i'd classify as a portfolio, but there could be some jobs i'm not considering
yeah i want them to select people to invite to an interview based on their qualifications for the job
then ofc you get "seen" in the interview
but thats after they've shown interest
toxic urchin
I read that there are laws in us that prevent the employers from asking questions that can be used to discriminate like if they have been to jail or if they plan on having kids
grand oriole
I had to write "ledig, keine Kinder" on my lebenslauf
hot cloak
they can ask if you have been convicted of a crime though
not if you've been arrested or charged with one
(in the US)
many employers get tax credits for hiring felons though
from what i hear, felon life in american society is pretty fucked up
it is
toxic urchin
Not if you're famous
shy bobcat
^ tru
grand oriole
felon life is the first step to my rap career though, right?
toxic urchin
are you a drug dealer?
hot cloak
I mean it's pretty obvious to me that if you strike out every legal alternative, the only remaining option would be to resort to crime again
basically
but that's the point
the prisons are privatized and generate money
of course you want to create a feedback loop to keep as many people incarcerated as possible
That is so fucked up.

Geordie is one of the dialects - but the one that arguably has undergone the least of the Great Vowel Shift

Oh?

yup

Geordie doesn't sound hard to understand IMO, it just sounds dumb like cavemen speaking :) That definitely makes sense, their vowels haven't evolved since caveman times /s
shy bobcat
What do you mean? What hasn't shifted in Geordie?
silk locust
lol
it's not even caveman times tho
Great Vowel Shift happened during the 1400s until the 1600s/1700s
grand oriole
I think he's refering to when the English and Germans both spoke the same language, old German, the English language evolved and shifted vowel sounds, whereas german evolved keeping the various vowel sounds

here's one for you:
How do you say: Loughborough?
silk locust
luffboroo
hot cloak
🤔 lau bo ro ? 🤔
twilit garden
Laubro
grand oriole
wow. well played.
hot cloak
because of the french
silk locust
because of the great vowel shift
hot cloak
and the english
shy bobcat
I honestly want to have a different accent. I've got a bit of a southern American accent lol
silk locust
and we didnt bother to change spelling
hot cloak
this has nothing to do with vowels
twilit garden
yes, but they should have re-standardised it
grand oriole
I'm english and didn't know how to pronounce that until I was 16, I used to say "Lau bau rau", until some one ripped into me about my terrible pronounciation.
opal sequoia
Canadian accents are pretty decent actually.
pine halo
i don't really have a particular accent
other than american of course
but not really placeable
shy bobcat
Canadians sound almost the same as Americans though
pine halo
depends on where
opal sequoia
Yeah, but without the bad parts.
twilit garden
, eh?
pine halo
not when they speak french
shy bobcat
What are the bad parts
opal sequoia
Most of it.
pine halo
wherever you live
grand oriole
@twilit garden English is the way it is because there is no language "authority" here. In German you have consistent language reforms, but here we have none because our official dictionary tasks a "descriptivism" approach instead of "prescriptivism"
hot cloak
uhmm nah
shy bobcat
There are YouTubers that are Canadian and i didn't know that until i noticed their product labels had french on it. They sound exactly the same to me as Americans
twilit garden
that's what i mean with "get a grip"
hot cloak
italian has no language authority and a redonculous amount of sub-languages but it still has consistent spelling
twilit garden
but no, the approach is not any different
hot cloak
also never imply prescriptivism is a good thing ever again in your life
grand oriole
double plus good
silk locust
Ohgod
twilit garden
all dictionaries are both descriptive and prescriptive

My father just put curry ketchup over his pasta
twilit garden
doubleplusungood
opal sequoia
What's curry ketchup??
pine halo
curry ketchup?
hot cloak
something that shouldn't be put on pasta
twilit garden
i like Curry-Ketchup on pasta
hot cloak
nemo
twilit garden
it is a very central european thing
pine halo
i mean it seems like that might be something that would exist
but have never heard of it
i'd try it for sure
could be solid
hot cloak
no i'm pretty sure it's liquid
shy bobcat
Don't say anything about weird Italian food combinations around berzi lol
hot cloak
about bbq sauce liquid 🤔
grand oriole
We put curry on chips here, curry is amazing, I would put curry on pasta, I'd put it on Pizza, too, I'd put it in my water supply
dense rivet
Ravioli with ketchup and cheese
lunar urchin
just had asian noodles with vegetables and curry ketchup this noon
dense rivet
The cheese made it bearable
hot cloak
that is pretty much what italians consider a gore picture
twilit garden
ketchup =/= curry-ketchup
hot cloak
uh btw
opal sequoia
Curry was my dinner too.
hot cloak
those are not ravioli lol
hot cloak
they're called tortellini
grand oriole
what is the formuoli of that sauce with your ravioli?
lunar urchin
now: Tobleronekuchen
opal sequoia
Oh, so curry ketchup is just a different thing with the same name as ketchup?
grand oriole
no
twilit garden
it tastes a lot different
lunar urchin
opal sequoia
Ah, we don't really have ketchup in Australia anyway. Or, well, there's some weird name stuff.
twilit garden
it is a bit spicier, smokier and not as sour
dense rivet
What's that
twilit garden
Streuselkuchen
lunar urchin
Toblerone-Apfel-Streuselkuchen
opal sequoia
Yum, that looks delicious.
dense rivet
Ooh looks good 👌
grand oriole
Toblerone? the chocolate aus der Schweiz?
hot cloak
looks hypercaloric af and not appetising enough to justify it? 🤔
lunar urchin
yip
opal sequoia
What part is the toblerone?
grand oriole
Toblerone-Apfel-Streuselkuchen takes a long time to say, can we just say "diabeetus" instead?
lunar urchin
see the chocolatey bits in it? some crumbles even contain it as a core
opal sequoia
Streuselkuchen justifies itself.
twilit garden
twilit garden
Orange-chocolate cake i made
opal sequoia
That one I'd have to taste to decide.
grand oriole
where did you get the idea to put a toblerone in a cake tho?
twilit garden
i wanted to make a picture of the whole cake but it looked really messy after glazing 😅
it was still very moist two days after baking it
opal sequoia
What's your favourite cake, @hot cloak ?
twilit garden
i ate a Giotto cake a week ago
hot cloak
hmmmmmmm
twilit garden
do you even have Giotto in Italy?
opal sequoia
I had a slice of a cheesecake the other day that was mostly chocolate mousse somehow. 😒
hot cloak
setteveli is pretty good. But probably this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate_salami
hot cloak
giotto was a painter and it's a brand of artist tools, that's all i know
twilit garden
of course 😆
hot cloak
that said there are so many regional and national dishes and sweets that i can't possibly know them all
my brother probably does
twilit garden
it is marketed here as a super-italian thing and every person in their commercial is Italian
(it's from Ferrero)
hot cloak
nothing on italian wikipedia
twilit garden
yeah, it only has a German wiki entry
hot cloak
so i'm going to assume it's not a thing? I dunno. But if it's made by ferrero it's likely that at least some italians were involved
¯_(ツ)_/¯

i love cassata
twilit garden
nougat-creme in a ball-shaped wafer coated with hazelnut
dense rivet
Pure sadness
twilit garden
lunar urchin
besides gelato i'd say cassata siciliana is my favorite italian "dolce"
shy bobcat
I like basically every kind of cake 😉 so it's hard to say which is my fav. I also like gelato
lunar urchin
@dense rivet strawberry accident?
dense rivet
Yes 🍓
twilit garden
especially the salty ones :)
hot cloak
believe it or not i never really tried cassata
👀
guess i have to do it before leaving
lunar urchin
incredibile!
i think you should
my first i ate was made by a sicilian in Munich...
fair iron
Was it Berzi?
lunar urchin
Berzi muss eine originale Cassata Siciliana essen, noch bevor er Sizilien verlässt!
toxic urchin
I want stroop waffles
fair iron
So that's what a stroop waffle is 🤔
hot cloak
they are glorious
fair iron
@lunar urchin Cassata Siciliana
dense rivet
Yes!
hot cloak
leave over steaming coffee or tea for maximum effect
fair iron
I apologise.
dense rivet
Man if I didn't just have cake I would be eating a stroopwafel right now right now!
hot cloak

Was ist mit General 2
runic rain
All those mems
I see. #general-2 will be just for me. I can live with that. I will just flush my thoughts into here
Das Cevapcici heute abend war eigentlich ganz lecker, aber es war viel zu viel für mich.
Die Küche hat mir extra eine größere Portion gemacht, weil ich freundlicherweise in der Spülküche ausgeholfen habe.
Tja, mit macht meine Arbeit schon Spaß! Und jetzt wird lecker Kölsch getrunken.
Ich habe keine Lust auf morgen. Morgen muss ich wieder arbeiten und dieses Mal wird es anstrengender.
twilit garden
Dann genieß das Kölsch
runic rain
Aber wenigstens kann ich ausschlafen. Habe ich lange nicht mehr...
Danke!
Hoffentlich legen die Handwerker im Haus morgen nicht schon um 7 Uhr los.
Ich habe mir letztens vorgestellt, dass sie in unsetem Haus gerade noch eine 5. Etage auf die 4. Etage drauf bauen. So viel Lärm...
Wobei, könnte auch gut sein, dass Sie die 4. Etage abbauen. Ständig Schlagbohrer im Einsatz

Wie sieht es eigentlich mit Genlabor-Fleisch aus?
Das soll das in den nächsten Jahren irgendwann Marktreif sein. Das müsste doch dann auch vegan/vegy sein
Ich finde, labor-Fleich ist vegan

Billa is voll billo
hot cloak
yeah but that's an acronym
quasi merlin
Because of people that use it as "Gelesen. Interessiert mich nicht im Geringsten. Wieso schreibst du mir?"
hot cloak
it is also a three letter combination, technically
i don't mean it that way
it's just a quiet understanding of what's been said to me
