@GermanSimply_ The stau. Always the stau.
Learn to love it because your street is closed or under perpetual construction. The speed limit was 120 kilometers and now it’s 60.
The red light flashed. Your ticket is in the mail.
Your neighbors will notice because they too are in the stau.

@richsca19 @david_stewart @grok No you didn't make the mistake on purpose that's why you apologised and said it was autocorrect
You keep getting it back to front

@eurofounder Nice, what's the EU research think tank researching?
English

My wife has recently inherited €400k from her aunt
"Oh my god, this is so amazing!" she screamed
"We could invest in S&P 500, and then couple weeks in Hawaii, just us?" she winked at me
I felt my blood boiling, but composed myself
"Sure baby, it's a good idea, have a drink now"
She fell asleep on the couch by 10pm
I opened the laptop and logged into her bank account
I made following wire transfers:
€250k to our local government
€100k to a Muslim refugee integration NGO in Bremen
€49k to a EU research think tank researching
The remaining €1k I transferred to my personal account
In the morning she asked about the money
"I invested it into Europe baby, and we will benefit from it greatly"
She began shaking, and I just hugged her dearly
It feels so great to provide for a woman I love

"Focker' sounds a liiiittle too close to another word I will not mention. Definitely will be interested to see how they navigate this, seeing as how it appears to be one of the character's names.

@The_dirty3rd @RpsAgainstTrump You need to be registered in selective service to enlist or commission. The recruiter will help you do it if you’re already 18 - 25. But you cannot legally get out by serving.
English

@RpsAgainstTrump All males are enrolled in the draft at 18. It’s been like that for a while. Long before Trump was president. The only way to legally get out of it is to voluntarily serve in the military

The follow-up parent/teacher conference was yesterday
My wife went alone
I watched her pull out of the driveway
Then I called my analyst
He was already in his car
Parked in the alley
Engine running
I wore cargo shorts
Six pockets
Pocket three had the school handbook
Pocket five had a highlighter
We arrived at 3:42pm
Three minutes early
My wife saw my analyst in the hallway before she saw me
She stopped walking
Then she saw me
She said "why is he here"
I said "support"
She said "for what"
I said "the meeting"
She said "this is a parent-teacher conference and you aren't supposed to be here"
I said "every meeting is a negotiation"
She didn't move
I held the door
The teacher was waiting
She was not alone
The principal was seated beside her
Arms folded
They brought backup
So did I
My analyst sat down and opened his laptop
He asked for the WiFi password
The teacher said "we don't give that to visitors"
He said "no problem" and turned on his hotspot
I taught him well
My wife put her head in her hands
The principal introduced himself
Firm handshake
Said he wanted to "make sure we're all on the same page"
I said "I love alignment"
My wife looked at the ceiling
The teacher pulled out a folder
Same color-coded tabs as last time
I respected the consistency
She said our son has made "some improvements" but there are still "areas of concern"
I said "can you quantify that"
She said "it's not really a numbers-based assessment"
I looked at my analyst
He looked at me
We didn't say anything
The teacher said he still "challenges classroom structure"
I pulled the school handbook from pocket three
Page 34
Section 2.7
Parent Rights and Student Evaluation Standards
I had highlighted six lines
The principal looked at the handbook
Then looked at my cargo shorts
Then back at the handbook
The teacher said there was an incident with a multiple-choice question
She pulled out the test
I pulled my copy from pocket two
The teacher stopped talking
My wife closed her eyes
The question listed fifteen gender options
My son selected none of them
He wrote "Not applicable"
Below that he wrote "Identified: Chromosome XY"
Below that he wrote "Source: Biology textbook, page 217"
With a footnote
My wife looked at me
She said "oh my god he's becoming you"
I said "thank you"
She said "that wasn't a compliment"
The teacher said "that's not how multiple choice works"
I said "was his answer correct"
She paused
The teacher looked at the ceiling
Why does everyone keep doing that
The principal stepped in
He said "the concern isn't accuracy. It's compliance."
I said "interesting. My auditors say the same thing."
My analyst typed something
I didn't ask what
My wife looked at the ceiling again
The principal said he thinks our son would "benefit from learning to work within established frameworks"
I said "he will. And then he'll spend his career fixing them."
Nobody spoke
The teacher closed her folder
The principal didn't shake my hand
My analyst asked if there would be a follow-up
The teacher said "I hope not"
In the parking lot my wife said "you wore cargo shorts to a school meeting that you weren't invited to"
I said "I needed the pockets"
She didn't argue
She said "we need to talk about this at couples therapy"
I said "only if I can bring my analyst"
She got in her car
My analyst sent me his notes before I got to mine
Formatted
Bulleted
With action items
There were none
Except for Plz Fix. Thx.

@500Casino @RealEmirHan Mans would kill 99.9% of men on this app. You included. He has the right to yap about fighting for a living.
English


In Road House (2024), Jake Gyllenhaal said Connor McGregor “clocked me in the face by mistake.” McGregor said “it wasn’t fake fighting.”
“As a man who fights for a living, it was real. I gave him wallop, he gave me back. Stuntmen took some big shots also.”x.com/CinemaLover189…

@Mr_Husky1 If we didn’t know why, we weren’t paying attention. A large number of scientists, epidemiologists and infectious disease specialists had been screaming at the top of their lungs for weeks about the forming pandemic. Kind like the climate scientists have been for years now…

@kevinblue345 Fucking clown show. The CMC and the Admiral initiated the salute to SecDef. Both of them in unison. The SedDef returned the salute. To both. They rendered appropriate greetings as a Command Team and SecDef is now being received individually. Shits not complicated.

@gramps_part2 @nakedjockman @MrPitbull07 You mean your job description? None of that is extra - it’s factored in to operating costs. I tip handsomely when the server makes my experience feel like an experience. If not, you’re doing your job. If it were compulsory it would be an itemized line item.
English

@nakedjockman @MrPitbull07 I’m a server. If I didn’t have to kiss your butt for tips, what do expect your service to be like? I’d walk up, say “what do you want?” And you would never see me again. Extra sauces, fresh plates, new napkins, drink refills, clearing and cleaning your table; all gone.
English

I paid a $169.29 breakfast bill and left the tip at $0. Not because I didn’t notice the line — but because tipping, for me, is still a personal choice, not a fixed charge.
The meal itself was fully paid for. The prices were set, the tax was added, and the total was clear. Covering that bill already supports the restaurant, its staff, and its operations. That part of the transaction was complete.
What made this moment uncomfortable wasn’t the math — it was the pressure that followed. Tipping used to be a way to say “thank you” when service stood out. Somewhere along the way, it shifted into an expectation that can feel detached from the actual experience.
Everyone comes in with different circumstances, different standards, and different limits. Respecting that choice — whatever the number — is part of keeping trust between customers and businesses. When that respect slips, so does the desire to come back.

This man went to his local Home Depot to purchase items for a home project. He arrived in a bike and didn’t have the means to take all of the materials home. He sees a wagon and decides he needs it to take his items home. He opens the box and starts to put it together before he even pays for it.
I don’t know any place that would allow this to happen without buying it first. Was this customer being self entitled, what happens if he gets it together and he doesn’t like it?
