No, you’re fine. I sometimes post reports I think are really stupid in the thread.

Well now you’ve done it. I hope you’re proud of yourself, OP.

You better stop being such a potasshole.

Here’s the thing though- he’s Jewish and he’s currently sucking up to and facilitating Nazis.

I don’t know that it will end well for him if it gets as far as the people he is facilitating want it to go no matter how much money he has.

I thought the point was to make America Danish.

So I know a guy who was in a band that had a logo involving a crucified Elvis. He told me he once went down to Tijuana and he saw a guy making the famous velvet paintings and he had a bunch of Elvis and a bunch of Jesus being crucified. So the guy I know asked the painter if he could paint Elvis being crucified. He said he almost got chased to the border by incensed Catholics.

I am looking forward to the day when HM Queen Margrethe II officially decrees Solvang to be the new capital of the new semi-autonomous Danish territory.

…and nothing in Minnesota changed.

Just wait a few years for some more glaciers to melt.

I have a friend who is Swedish but worked in both Sweden and Denmark for his job and I asked him if he could talk to them in Swedish and them to him in Danish and if they could understand each other and he told me mostly, but they just did it in English.

Farsi and Arabic are not even remotely related, so I don’t think that is the right thing to say as an example. Also, Farsi, like English, is Indo-European. Arabic is Semitic. So if anything, Farsi and English are much closer to each other than Arabic and either of them.

Languages from groups right next to each other do not have to be related at all. Finnish and Swedish were mentioned above. Swedish is Indo-European, Finnish is Uralic.

That said, Afghan peoples have successfully fought off a lot of superior forces over the centuries. Most recently before the U.S., the Soviets.

Afghanistan is just not a great place for a military to root out a guerilla force. Those caves you’re talking about are a big reason. The people who know the land have used that knowledge to their advantage for millennia and it’s not something modern technology can really win against unless you’re talking dropping a nuke on them.

Well not literally. The Vikings were in Canada. But close enough.

My child, have you thought about how your the only thing standing between your soul and eternal hellfire is a Quarter Pounder meal deal?

Almost everything is correct, because not everyone is as way into boxing as Billy Joel. He mentions multiple boxers in the song.

I mean I’m not shocked, he was a boxer himself before he became a professional musician, but it’s still funny he apparently thought everyone else was as into boxing as he was and so those names would resonate as much as Liberace’s or Satayana’s.

I don’t know what to say other than it works when I see it.

Edit: I think I fixed the problem?

Shows up for me there too. 🤷

What do you mean? There is an image.

I speak only in great truths.

One of those truths is that two string quartets have thought it was a good idea to cover that song.

The correct number, incidentally, is zero string quartets.
