Is there an epidemic of mental illness?

Yes, but unfortunately no doctors to diagnose it.

Yeah! But... But not like that please...

Divorced parents don't talk. They just leave each other notes on their kid's lunch box.

Is joke

Haha

You're talking about the people the people that gave you the Statue of Liberty!

Its completely sensible. Don't get me wrong. Sausage was how you preserved extra meat, cheese and butter were how you preserved extra milk. But post-war kitchen appliance obsessed germaphobe America basically refrigerates everything, so to answer the question I thought it was fun to put a spin on it and instead of saying what they put in the fridge I'd talk about what gets left out.

I think the funniest one is sausage. They've just got a sausage box. Literally a wooden box to put your sausage in (dried cured sausage, not like...straight out of the meat grinder sausage.)

Want some sausage? Just find the sausage box, pull out your sausage, throw it on top of the box, cut a couple slices off, then put it back on the box.

Butter is obvious, but butter is sold in 250g blocks which are about double the size of an American stick of butter, so that's a fucking lot of butter to just leave sitting out. So you can just do like a quarter a time and leave it in a covered butter dish on the counter with the rest in the fridge.

Cheese can get disgusting. Especially if it already starts out smelling like moldy feet. Even covered in a cheese bell, you can get some horrendous smells permeating the house.

A general European one is eggs. In the US we wash eggs after they are laid to help prevent salmonella. This washes the natural protective coating off so bacteria can get into them easier, so refrigerating them helps slow that bacteria growth which makes them go bad. In Europe they vaccinate the chickens instead. Eggs are sold unrefrigerated and are usually shelf stable for 3 or more weeks.

But I don't really make fun of them for that one.

Try living with a French room mate and find out what doesn't go in the fridge. Hint: everything.

I moved to London in 2011. When Five Guys opened here in 2013, I think I ate there at least once a week for 2 months.

Also, what the fuck. It was expensive back then, and it's just absurdly priced now. Also I don't eat hamburgers as often which is definitely a good thing...

I landed at Domodedovo in Moscow in 2013. Ready to see this incredible new place I've never experienced before, I walked out into the main arrivals area, and right there was a Cinnabon.

I believe my exact words were "We did it. We beat communism..."

Don't judge...

Google probably is putting pressure on Mozilla, but if the options are licensed HECV or open royalty-free AV1, the choice is pretty clear for a FOSS project.

The fact that neither can agree on how to describe it yet agreeing on what is so wrong in the first place is just an additional data point on how stupid Twitter numbering is. I find that fascinating.

I don't think you understand what I'm saying. I'm saying it is impossible for the board to ever look like this during a real game of Scrabble, even if someone is in the middle of their turn.

Unfortunately that's exactly what Nationalism Socialism was all about. Great socialist policies to support and bolster the in crowd. Unfortunately those policies aren't extended to the out crowd. And the out crowd is pretty easily defined when you've got "Nationalism" in your political party's name.

I mean, that's how I got through high school. So sure.

You can't play letters/words in two different directions in one turn.

Yes, however neither of those words are complete on the board yet. That's fine if one of them were in the process of being played, but they're not. Rapist/racist is in the middle of being played, meaning that the previous turn ended with just "sa" on the board, which is not a valid word.

Well everyone here on Lemmy is full of shit, so there's a lot of experience you can tap into if you need help.
