I hate warriors, too narrow-minded. I’ll tell you what I do like though: a killer, a dyed-in-the-wool killer. Cold blooded, clean, methodical and thorough. Now a real killer, when he picked up the ZF-1, would’ve immediately asked about the little red button on the bottom of the gun.

I’m a German guy from Berlin, next year I’ll be 50. My dad was born in 1944 and it’s pretty safe to say he survived being cut off from food supplies by the Soviets only because Americans pulled off the Berlin Airlift. These brave pilots helped save the lives of people they had considered enemies not much earlier.

So I would not be alive were it not for Americans. Am I indebted to America? Fuck yes, of course I am.

Having said all that, it’s so painful to see America turn to fascism - the very thing those GIs you mention fought against. A country I love, people I love, losing their minds and their hearts. Literally turning evil, led by a criminal lunatic who so obviously follows the demagogue playbook…

Interesting. I never knew what they actually used. I had never encountered that smell in West Berlin at the time. And certainly not since the wall came down. Thanks for solving this mystery. 🙂

Edit: Ah, f*** it.

1. It’s a rather lame joke. The premise has been used a thousand times already.
2. It’s at the expense of someone’s disability. Ask yourself how often Peter Dinklage has seen this joke in his life.

You can joke about everything, but at least make a fucking effort.

You can make jokes about absolutely everything. But if you do it at the expense of others, and the touchier and more sensitive the subject, the funnier the joke has to be - so you better make sure it’s fucking hilarious and original.

People tend to miss that part. Especially the one about short people is always the same old punch line - the one along the lines of this post.

I’m not offended that OP made a joke about Peter Dinklage. I’m offended that it was a lame joke that I’ve seen a thousand times before.

Make jokes at the expense of the disabled, races, transgenders, gays or religious people, and you will be rightly criticized and shamed for it.

Make jokes at the expense of people who are ugly, fat or short in stature, somehow that’s still okay with way too many people…

Fun fact: Former socialist countries like East Germany used to use some kind of phenolic smelling cleaning fluid. I smelled that shit every time I crossed the border to East Berlin at Friedrichstraße. A decade later, I had my first Islay malt which had a really similar smell… it was super weird.

To this day, I cannot drink a Laphroaig without being reminded of those times.

Of course Christians are absolutely fine with people being gay.

After all, they’re the ones down on their knees hoping for a man to come for the second time.

Well, I think you’ll find that it really does matter if you use dried jalapeños or dried Carolina reapers.

Ooh, shots fired.

I’m a fucking snob so I spend way too much money on expensive single malts and gyokuro green tea.

Yeah. I have it on CD. They had it on vinyl, too, but I refused to buy the record because it was scratched.

Die ist ein Kinnerhunder und zwei Mackeluber und der bitte schön ist den Wunderhaus sprechensie. “Nein”, sprecht der Herren, “Ist aufern borger mit zveitingen”.

Yes, there is one Youtuber who makes super authentic Jamaican stuff called Feed & Teach. Watching his videos is worth it for the Patois alone.

This is the basis for the jerk sauce I was talking about, and this will make your kitchen smell nice.

I see you’re a man of culture as well.

For European cuisine, I like replacing salt with anchovies as they are basically just salt with benefits.

Have you ever tried cooking your own Jamaican Jerk marinade? Pimento, chili, garlic, onions, thyme and ginger, nutmeg, cloves plus soy sauce. And since that is supposed to cook for hours… your kitchen will smell lovely for days.

A rule that asks users to post before they leave seems arbitrary, that’s why it’s confusing to me. If people only post because it’s a rule, I thought a logical consequence would be tons of posts of low quality.
