wieson,

How “does it not look right” if it’s literally reality. I could take a foto of such a rack today in my area. They exist, they work. I don’t see the problem.

wieson,

Just look at street cam footage of any Dutch town. Heavy rain, hail, wind etc. doesn’t stop those madmen on their grandma bikes.

wieson,

pretty gross rack design

You’re absolutely right

It’s a normal rack, I disagree with the grossness.

They didn’t […] tell him “hey that doesn’t look right, please draw again”

But it does look right.

wieson,

That would be implying that only learning about battles is “learning about the 2nd ww”. And it would deny that learning about society, policy and civilian suffering is part of learning about the war.

I disagree with that.

wieson,

I am beef stroganoff but the beestanoff is silent

wieson,

Schau wie sie dieses ausgestopfte Gittertier zugerichtet haben D:

wieson,

There is a bit of German internet lore here. Shopping carts are called Gittertiere (grille animals). And there’s also a community Gittertiere on feddit.de where we post grille animals in the wild, living their natural lives (abandoned shopping carts).

This grille animal was “stuffed”, more accurately translated to taxidermied, which I expressed my sadness about.

wieson,

I get it but… The fact that a team changes town is such an insane concept to me. I don’t know the SeaWolves, but they are probably called Seattle SeaWolves, right? So they carry the name of the city.

Where I’m from (Germany) that team would be dead instantly in the eyes of the fans. If f. ex. Victoria Berlin renamed itself to FC Berlin, the fans would find it weird but probably go along. 7f the moved to Magdeburg and are now Victoria Berlin but not in Berlin they would lose their fans. And wouldn’t gain Magdeburger Fans.

If you’re interested I would recommend you to check out the recent rise of FC Union Berlin. They’ve risen to the first division about 5 years ago and still play in a pretty old and basic stadium. They display of the current goals is still done by changing boards with numbers on them through a window.

And they managed to play in the champions League despite having an old stadium. Sadly they played their European games in the bigger Olympia stadium. I wish they would have hosted Real Madrid in the old forestry (name of the stadium “die Alte Försterei”).

wieson,

But it’s systematic. In English, it’s systemless, complete wild west out there smh

wieson,

Like shoulder.

Maybe English needs an accent mark for silence, like the Turkish ğ

wieson,

My best advice is to concentrate on the line marking the outside of the road. Not much, but it’s something.

wieson,

Made my brain autofill the rest of the image with the cow standing on two legs and having human arms.

wieson,

Do you pronounce it “typist”, “typeset” or “type es ti”?

wieson,

Yay English got its second person singular conjugation back :)

I type Thou typst She typeth

wieson,

Deer can’t see orange, so one colour fits all ¯_(ツ)_/¯

wieson,

This leads to another problem. Everyone will make policy to suck up to industry in order to secure a job after their term limits.

It’s already a problem of politicians swapping in and out of politics and into industry. Today they “represent the people against car manufacturers”, tomorrow they are a car industry lobbyist.
