Holy shit. I never realized that this could actually bother people. I thought the jokes about it were based in the same place that jokes about popped collars are.
I know there’s no logic, but it’s funny to imagine it’s because it’s pronounced Mrs. Sippy
I do arithmetic problems. Not super complicated ones, but either unit conversions or guessing and checking cube roots or something similar.
I also imagine navigating places I haven’t been in a long time in a different way- I imagine a bouncy ball’s path through the building of my first job, or picture doing parkour through my elementary school (I’m not a parkour person).
I’m not sure if either 100% counts as stimming- I do both when I’m bored and have only begun to intentionally do the latter in stressful situations recently (it works beautifully though).
Probably more drownings though :(
If that’s a recent development, I’d give him a little grace because of the stroke (it doesn’t excuse turning fascist, but it does excuse messy eating). If not, he’s just a slob.
Also, I’m an American who left, so net zero also means I freed up a spot.
Yeah, I brain farted. I meant category three to category five. Category three is not really a concern where I grew up (~50 miles inland), but category five will fuck things up. Because of that, news coverage and radio interruptions and the similar tend to set in around category 4.
I guess I found out about most hurricanes from talking to other people because it becomes a topic of small talk, so maybe that’s coloring my perspective. I would expect people to talk to their neighbors about it, if they suspect that their house will be swept away, if only to check what their plans/forwarding address will be.
I’ve been surprised by hurricanes before, it’s not impossible that it goes from a category 3 to a hurricane in the span of twelve hours to a day, and it’s relatively easy not to see news about it. I’m not in Florida, so it could be different there, but I’ve never heard of a hurricane siren, for example.
Well you’re in luck, it’s die Natur!
Edit: that’s also a pretty like-native way to think about articles, so well done!
Das Yacht sounds pleasing to you? I can understand why, given das Schiff, das Boot, etc.*, but I much prefer die Yacht, because of die Macht. Can I ask if you’re a native speaker/like native (for example if you learned German from age three in school) or a nonnative speaker?
I ask because I’m a nonnative German teacher and there are certain geni that bother basically all nonnative speakers (das Lob should clearly be der Lob, for example) but don’t stand out to native speakers and I’m very interested in the language sense that people develop as native vs nonnative speakers.
- die Fregatte, die Trireme, und die Galeone unter anderen sind aber auch weiblich und sind auch Fremdwörter für bestimmte Arten Schiffe.
They’re just thirsty and lazy and unafraid of the people outnumbering the hell out of them.

Middle school me would have taken advantage and proven them very wrong
