On a serious note, I know someone who had a corrective surgery as a teen to “fix” his ears, and I genuinely think he looked better before. Now his other uneven facial features come in focus much more. Sometimes it just doesn’t make things better.

What are you even talking about? They both acquired it over Jure Sanguinis, both of them barely understand any Italian. They have dual Italian citizenship.
Nobody said anything about needing ancestors to live somewhere else.
- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 2 weeks ago:
It’s not quite the same, but I know someone who acquired Italian citizenship because their grandparents were Italian/had Italian citizenship. They don’t even speak Italian.

At that point you count on either extended family support (or both sets of grandparents), older kids to take care of the younger siblings or for kids to fend for themselves. One kid is a lot if you don’t have family support, let alone 2 or more. Definitely to each their own, but I could never (especially as the person ij the relationship who would be popping those kids out).

I had a classmate who was the youngest of 10. Always smelled bad, but otherwise an okay kid. I think the family was poor. Not surprising, having had to feed 12 people. I wonder how many of them have had kids of their own by now and if any chose to have many or none at all.

At least according to Wikipedia, the original The One Horse Open Sleigh was possibly intended as a drinking song. That’s also what I heard from someone I know, so that’s what stuck with me.

Jingle Bells was originally drinking song, not related to Christmas at all.

Maybe it’s a joke because we’re in the shitposting community, but on the serious note COVID19 pandemic is very much not over. Fatality rate is lower, but people still get COVID and millions have and are going to get long COVID and other lasting effects of the infection.

Yes, h. pylori can be the cause of ulcers, but it also affects many other things.
- Comment on It's nothing 1 month ago:
Obviously you should talk to your doctor about it, but as someone who’s been dealing with different health issues/symptoms, it could be many things. The ones that aren’t directly likened to heart issues, off the top of my head: various stomach issues (gastritis, GERD/acid reflux, h. pylori infection), vagus nerve issues (sometimes caused by stomach problems) that trigger anxiety and panic attacks, costochondritis, even things like mental trauma response can cause wild physical symptoms.

I do and don’t at the same time. I loved the classic hardware T9, but it gave me carpal tunnel.

I’m utterly shocked people in my home country are finally showing up in the streets. Croatians have been quite passive for decades, letting our politicians rob us blind. Thompson can go fuck himself, but so can all the people I personally know who went to his concert. It’s genuinely pathetic.

A formal state apology was issued in 2014, and a compensation scheme for survivors was set up by the Irish Government, which by 2022 and after an extension of the scheme had paid out €32.8 million to 814 survivors.[4] The religious orders which operated the laundries have rejected appeals, including from victims and Ireland’s Justice Minister, to contribute financially to this programme.[5]
Shocking. /s

It’s such an immigrant thing to do. At this point my conversations with my partner almost always have English and German mixed in. But even back in my country, I’d use a lot of English because I couldn’t remember the word in my language or it was simply easier to do so in English, lol.

Austrians say “Sackerl”. And they will always giggle if you say “Tüte” instead. From my experience 😂

I have seen that play out almost in real time with a friend’s girlfriend. He has money, but he grew up poor. She has no money of her own, doesn’t work, doesn’t contribute in any way to society. She also comes from poor background. And yet ever since she’s gotten cozy with his money—getting clothes, new laptops, phones, jewelry, traveling—she started sounding like a bitch. Shitting on other working class people while riding on the money she did not earn. It’s absolutely wild to me.

Eh, really depends. Some immigrants keep supporting right-wing and authoritarian leaders in their home countries, regardless of where they’re from. There are many immigrant Russians who don’t support Putin, but there are some who do. Just like there are MAGA Latinos. Same as many Balkan people who move to Austria, Germany, etc. who still support right-wing leaders whose economy- amd people-ruinning policies forced them to move for work.
People are dumb, tribalistic animals.

I just discussed this with a coworker. I haven't been in the modding community for years, but I was shocked to see XDA pretty much dead when I visited it couple weeks ago. I miss the days I couldn't decide which ROM and kernel to use because the choice was so big.
