what even goes on here

it's weird visiting american grocery stores because you'll just stumble across famous products you recognize and they're often just shelved in the store like any other product, no fanfare ran into this one while visiting nyc in 2011

Thrilled to say I passed my viva with no corrections and am officially PhDone.

the compassionate misogynist take

The Absinthe Drinker, Café Slavia, Prague 1901 by Viktor Oliva.

just discovered how americans pronounce niche, need a moment

If I lived in the 9th century I would lie so much. What are you gonna do, consult the parchment? Examine the texts? Take leave of my hut, forthwith.

Today is a miscarriage of justice. Donald Trump should NOT of been found guilty.

They need to invent the opposite of a gym. You go there and you just get more frail and sickly. Maybe instead of lifting you just sit in a cold dark room and starve

i wonder if the scariest moment ever in history has happened yet

finally finishing the day strong with a Gonster

Here's my advice to single American men who feel hopeless about ever finding a good woman to marry: Take a month or two between jobs and drive across the USA. Stop at every gas station and truck stop, and eat every meal at diners during non-rush hours. Avoid cities; stop primarily in poor rural areas out in the middle of nowhere. Every time you see a pretty cashier or waitress with a good vibe, politely ask her out. Tell her you're out seeing the country and looking for a place to settle and a good woman to marry. Repeat until you've found someone to go steady with. This worked for at least one young, awkward guy I knew at a Catholic Church in Louisiana. Met his wife at Love's on I-80 in Iowa. She converted, moved to Louisiana with him, and they go back to Iowa together every Christmas, fueling up at the truck stop where they met. She was giddy to find him, as most of the men in her town were either already married or total losers. They were both in their early 30's when they met. I had planned on doing this when I got out of the military, but Providence had it that I'd never have to try it out -- I'd be engaged to Keturah just before my discharge. But I say to any young man having trouble finding a woman it's absolutely worth a try. At worst, you see the country and go on a few bad dates. At best, you find the love of your life.

for anyone saying “it’s not that bad”

Jewish friend asked me a very funny legal question: “Can you break your Ramadan fast during the eclipse since technically it gets dark?” I had to hand it to him, I didn’t think of that 😂😎🌞🌆

I never got why we consider Appalachia to be scary Like the Southwest United is the area that skinwalkers are derived from (the Navajo tribe). Not to mention river dinosaurs/mountain boomers. In addition to real predators like wolves, mountain lions, jaguars, etc.

something I miss about the late 2000s is salvia. It was a part of culture in a subtle way and smoking it sent you straight to fucking hell.

there exists a prevalent normie model of intelligence whereby everyone is born with equal points and you level up by consuming units of boomerslop scattered at fixed spawn points across the terrain RPG style

dude, I AM from a perpetrator family and grew up with Nazi relatives. I KNOW their speech, don't you dilute yourself to think you can lecture me about not recognizing fascistic or Nazi propaganda when I hear it.

Here's what Americans think about a range of things and concepts associated with the European Middle Ages — as you can see, it's a mixed bag!

The official DUNE: PART TWO runtime is 2 hours 46 minutes according to Japanese film rating org.

Guy from Miami: "What even goes on in Jacksonville?"

I’m Italian & my cousin just sent me my late grandma’s potato gnocchi recipe. Obviously, this recipe is only decipherable by boomers & some Gen X since it’s written in ancient text I had to have ChatGPT translate it for me, no one can read this shit

considering how densely populated and historically economically developed both the acela corridor and the great lakes region is, it's crazy that just no one lives here

People forget how truly new the very delicate pet thing is and how little greatest generation and older cared about pets. Once you get past the boomers, it is a different world with different values. They would be considered very cruel and cold to most people today.

VIVEK RAMASWAMY: “When we face our founding fathers in the afterlife and they ask us what sacrifice did you make for your country we better have a damn good answer for them.” 🔥🔥🔥

Veterans, did you ever see anything you’d consider “supernatural” while serving?

St. Anne’s Church, Buffalo, NY. Permanently closed. Sold to the Islamic community for $250,000 who are converting the historic church into a mosque.

Glorious. And a reminder why so many languages, including Latin but not Modern English, describe fresh-flowing water as sweet to the taste.

The Catholic Project just released a major study that found that younger priests are exceedingly more orthodox and conservative. This is a trend that has been moving this way for years now. They prioritize Eucharistic devotion & traditional liturgy much more than older priests.

Pope Francis rants against ‘delinquent’ priests who withhold absolution catholicherald.co.uk/pope-fr…

A Freemason recently asked if I would be interested in joining. I said no, of course, citing that I was Catholic. He just laughed in my face and said “there are tons of Catholics I call brother.” Not gonna lie, it kind of sent chills down my spine.

just remembered that americans don’t have random old castles in the countryside that they can go and visit

one very cool thing is europeans coming here and realizing that everything they see on tv — yellow school buses, red solo cups, diners where waitresses serve you coffee from the pot — are real

i just randomly thought about this but has anyone ever had a male english teacher or a female history teacher ?? like i’ve never seen one

tiktok ADHD videos are getting truly wild. “time blindness” has gone from “easily losing track of time; often late; trouble planning schedules” to “ADHD brains have no concept of temporal sequence, cannot form memories, and view the future as senseless chaos”
