If this is a joke it’s fucking hilarious

Non-native speakers who become seamlessly fluent genuinely impress me.

Cheating is a highly emotional issue, possibly even to the point where people who aren’t empathetic will put themselves in the place of your boyfriend. Or maybe they just want to trash talk women under a seemingly legitimate cover.

Whatever their reason, to hell with ’em. I have a lot of respect for people who are willing to put in the hard work and overcome addiction. I wish you the best with your mental health, as well. All that really matters is what you and your boyfriend think. If the two of you are happy, then great!

My guess is that they’re the remnants of evolved biases that were formerly useful, like being able to spot the differences between Homo sapiens and Homo erectus, that we still possess but just aren’t useful anymore. We still have a coccyx (tailbone), but we sure as hell don’t need it.

This could also be completely wrong. I haven’t studied evolutionary biology.

Great example. He just looks like some generic dude in a suit, not the douchebag we know he is.

Agreed. If I didn’t know anything about what a horrible person Lauren Bobert is, I’d think she was cute.

Do not expect the United States to help, or even share information.

It’s hard for me to imagine someone losing A HUNDRED FUCKING POUNDS and still being overweight. Wow.

Germany, you say? It’s local name will be something with WAY too many letters.

Edit: Relax, folks. ALL languages are kinda messy in their own way. There’s a difference between a good-natured joke and heartfelt criticism. I’m not criticizing anything. Plus, I’m speaking English, which is an absolute dumpster fire.

Part of me wants to say something snarky, but really, we’re looking at a victim of Putin’s ego and PR machine.

Speed Racer (2008, written and directed by the Wachowskis) captured the bizarre energy of the animated series perfectly. I watched the cartoon as a kid, so I “got it”. Apparently, a lot of people didn’t.

The Village is a great example of marketing killing a movie. It was a good film, but the way it was marketed, people were expecting a horror movie, or at least a storyline that centered around scary monsters in the woods. No wonder people were disappointed.
