You know how to can get turned off of eggs if you get the egg ick.

I don't think I do know actually. But here's an attempt at answering this question anyway:

And bonus, anybody know why that happens?

We are usually very quick at relating sickness or even discomfort to the food we ate at the time or slightly before. This is a very valuable trait to avoid food that is unhealthy or even poisonous. But it's only based on correlation, so it can turn us off food that is not actually causing the sickness but we just happened to eat at the time.

a lot of the stigma surrounding sex work in the modern day (that doesn't just boil down to misogyny/gender norms/religion) is based on the fact that selling intimate aspects of one's self places a set value on something that many see as sacred

The fact that most of the times the stigma only clings to the person selling and not the person buying makes me think that this is actually a negligible part of the stigma.

Are you telling me your fairytale wedding does not include doves hacking out the eyes of your stepsister or your stepmother dancing to her death in shoes of red hot iron? Boooring.

No, MareOfNights, I also find that weird.

Start with praise and honest opinion.

So which is it?

Seriously though, I hate it when people throw in some praise completely unrelated to the thing we are talking about at the moment in an attempt to soften the criticism. It just seems really transparent and fake to me. Praise people for things when they are doing them, not as sugarcoating for your criticism. That just devalues the praise and your criticism. But maybe that's just my stereotypical German directness.

I'm sure he would have believed he could.

the bill's language and topic caused confusion; a member proposed that it be referred to the Finance Committee, but the Speaker accepted another member's recommendation to refer the bill to the Committee on Swamplands, where the bill could "find a deserved grave".

An assemblyman handed him the bill, offering to introduce him to the genius who wrote it. He declined, saying that he already met as many crazy people as he cared to.

I hope medicine in 1897 was up to the treatment of these burns.

This is the way

That's why I use LaTeX. (I also use Arch btw.)

To be fair though, there are way more cows than crocodiles, snakes, sharks or deadly spiders in the UK.

Adding to what the other comments have already said: Don't bring an unleashed dog on a cow pasture. You'd think that's common sense, but apparently it's a bit of a meme in Austria and Switzerland that every few months some German get's trampled by cows because their totally friendly dog ran towards the cows and they felt threatened.

Legendary you say? Relatively unknown outside of Germany (and other German speaking countries) you say?

Let me introduce you to Dschinghis Khan by Dschingis Khan

(99 Luftballons, which was mentioned here before, is arguably the bigger hit that really everyone knows. But I couldn't resist throwing this out there. It was a huge hit and is still known.)

Einfach direkt Kinder verbieten. Löst auch das CO2-Problem langfristig.

Gehört zu den "vielen mehr" nicht auch der Kinderschutzbund? Diese Kinderschutz-Gegner immer!

Catholics also have patron saints for nearly everything from infants to ice skaters that they pray to but that are totally not gods because there is only one god. I mean, yeah, their second most important prayer is directed at the Virgin Mary, but that doesn't mean they worship her or anything.

What happens to people who rent out an apartment in the house they are living in? This is not uncommon, where I live. Grandma lives in a small separate apartment in the house, she dies, the apartment is rented out. Sometimes a child moves in later or the parents move in and a child takes over the house.
If these people risk losing a part of the house by letting someone else rent it, my guess is that they would just stop renting it in order to be able to leave the whole house to their children. Which would leave even less homes on the renting market and a bigger share to big corporations.

Dass du nächstes Jahr ein 2 für 1 Angebot finden wirst, möchte ich nicht garantieren, aber generell sind Sonnencremeangebote zu Beginn des Sommers üblich, ja.

Mit dem auf Vorrat kaufen wäre ich bei Sonnencreme vorsichtig, weil der Schutz irgendwann nachlässt. Geöffnet sollte man sie normalerweise nicht mehr im nächsten Sommer verwenden. Geschlossen ist das bestimmt länger, aber ich persönlich bin da lieber auf der sicheren Seite.

You don't get it. Katara should have put on some facial hair. And judging by the second place's "epic costume" not changed her clothes at all.

Ich weiß nicht, ob das woanders anders war, aber als ich letzte Woche in Stuttgart war, hab ich "Lasst euch nicht die Autos wegnehmen" Wahlplakate der CDU gesehen. Das ist ein wörtliches Zitat, kein sinngemäßes.

Ever heard someone say "I really put my foot in my mouth"? That's what they are trying to find out.

I'm almost of average height for a woman in my country. Even if I thought height mattered, I would have very little reason to feel insecure about it. But since men are on average taller, I still count myself as being part of the short people.

Fair. But there's no stepladder that will help you mimic my power of sitting comfortably in trains, planes and busses.

You have opened my eyes. I just shaved off my eyebrows and plucked out my eyelashes.

I do this all the time. I print two pages on one A4 sheet (or rather four, two on each side) and then fold them so they are like a leaflet.

That's the main advantage of the system – you don't have to design things differently depending on how big you want to print them. You can scale the same design to an A6 flyer or an A2 Poster.

Ich frag mich gerade, ob mein Gehirn mich reinlegt und das auch aus dem Englischen kennt, ob ich das ein Wort ist, das irgendein Lieblingsautor von mir häufig benutzt oder ob das ein regionales Ding ist. Aber ich hätte geschworen, dass wispern ein ganz normales Wort ist, das (zumindest in Büchern) häufig verwendet wird.

Ich wollte t-online schon beglückwünschen, dass sie wenigstens die Frage ein bisschen klarer stellen. Aber dann kamen die Antwortmöglichkeiten.

"Nein, weil dies die technologische Entwicklung einschränken und den Wohlstand in Deutschland gefährden könnte."

Schön das Framing von der CDU übernommen.

Nächste Frage: "Sind Sie für Vorratsdatenspeicherung?"

• "Ja, ich bin ein guter Mensch und habe nichts zu verbergen"
• "Nein, ich bin ein Kinderschänder und möchte nicht, dass das rauskommt"

Ja ist nicht die richtige Antwort. Hoffe ich konnte helfen.

Wer hätte damit rechnen können, dass Menschen, denen das Herz höher schlägt, wenn sie anderen Rechte wegnehmen und sie diskriminieren können, jetzt auch einer Gruppe, zu der ich gehöre, die Rechte wegnehmen wollen?

Klassischer leopards ate my face Moment.

Eine so formulierte Frage in einem Fragebogen wäre bei mir nicht mal in den ersten Semestern des Bachelorstudiums an den verantwortlichen Betreuern vorbeigekommen.

"Unterstützen Sie die Forderung zur Rücknahme der Aussetzung der Abschaffung des Verbots?"

I mean, the fact that most animals don't understand long distance running is what made humans apex predators. So joke's on you, animals!

Relevant xkcd

I'm sorry, I never can resist poking the bear.

It must be unbearable for them.

They do things the way they want while I'm doing them the way I want. Which is clearly the superior way (though they disagree).

Spalter!

They also stopped dating them at some point apparently, so I'm not sure what you are trying to say. It's not like the early stages of dating usually involve mowing the lawn or cleaning the house together so that's something you only find out after having already found plenty of other things to like about this person.

I'm pretty sure my washing machine is the thing that saves me most time. Washing by hand is fucking hard work and very time consuming. I would neither have the time nor the physical endurance to keep all my clothes and household items in a state acceptable to society.

How about "raise VAT and kill all the poor"?

Nachher haben die Leute außerhalb der Arbeit noch Zeit und Energie sich Gedanken zu machen, sich weiterzubilden oder sich zu organisieren. Wer kann das wollen?

Die Autos haben mir alle freundlich Platz gemacht und der Sprung war an sich auch ein Klacks. Leider waren die Fenster etwas zu gut geputzt und ich hab erst mitten im Sprung gemerkt, dass das Fenster gar nicht offen ist. Die sollten dringend mal so Punkte aufkleben, um den Menschenschlag etwas zu reduzieren.
