In German, rosetta is a slang for butthole and whenever I hear Rosetta Stone I imagine a kidney stone trapped in an anus.
My favorite pizzeria is also called rosetta and it grosses me out but I have accepted that them stamping every pizza with their butthole is justified if it makes that good of a pizza.
I was actually pretty good at drawing and art but that one time a teacher used my drawing of santa claus as an example of how not to draw and made me cry in front of the whole class still haunts me. She used my next assignment as a positive example in front of class but it didn't undo it. This was in 2nd or 3rd grade.
Well that's a great way to have a customer come exactly once to your place and order something small and cheap and then never return out of bad memories and embarrassment. It's also a great way to make a name as "that restaurant where you'll get ghosted" for yourself. For real, either the place would get a bad rep as a cursed place, or (more likely) they lose valuable potential customers because they will never go back to a place where they have been stood up.

Forgive my ignorance but what is a lesbian candle?
Or, you know, fight to see the system change hopefully within your lifetime and provide a better future for the generations to come. Because they will come, no matter whether you personally have kids or not. Your procreation choices are entirely up to you.
Yes, you are not responsible that someone else fucked up. That masses of people fucked up. You are not responsible to clean up the mess it caused. But, you know, you can still help.
When I was 16, I went to high school in California for half a year as an exchange student. I am from Germany and as a junior, I would have had something like my 4th or 5th year of chemistry in school, but out of necessity (or laziness) I took beginner's chemistry.
For exercises I had been paired with two girls who used to try to make fun of me (I think; I never really figured out what their deal was), and asked me stupid questions about myself or Germany. I remember they once asked laughingly whether I like oranges because I was wearing a t-shirt with an orange print.
Well, then one day, there we go. Converting exercises. You have students from 9th to 12th grade in groups of 3-4, trying to convert imperial measurements to metrics. And then metrics to metrics. Basically, for a couple of weeks, we just converted stuff like 14 cm to mm or dm. I forgot so much about my time abroad but the most vivid memory I have is of the girls looking at each other (after a couple of days and repeated explanations) and one says "the decimal system just makes no sense" and the other one quietly and slowly nods in agreement. I ask them how it makes no sense. "Well it just makes no sense." It's just base 10 everything and the rest is practice, it's not different from inches to feet. "No but you see this makes sense. There are 12 inches in a foot", continued by a list of how many shmekels make up a whoopsiedoodle and how many dingelings fit into a hybotron.
I understand how you first have to get accustomed to new units and how conversion might need practice when you aren't familiar with the prefixes, especially when you aren't too experienced in the stem field. But I am still flabbergasted by the statement that having a system where everything is just base 10 and then you shift the decimal point around makes no sense. We are talking about fellow juniors here. How do you make it to age 16/17 never having heard of a decimal point or having trouble with base 10 conversion? HOW CAN YOU SAY IT MAKES NO SENSE?! It's the simplest, most logic based system there is!
I remember standing in line for crepes in Le Havre, I just had my first year of French in school and I was practicing how to order in my head, nervously repeating "un crepe avec sucre", and killed myself over not remembering the gender of crepe. So it's finally my turn in line and I order nervously (I am 13 years old) and they reply with "pancake with sugar, no problem" and I'm just like 😭
Somehow people not even giving you a chance to practice your language skills is awful
I had an alcohol problem and once went to work somewhere between hungover, still drunk, and trying to sober up, being close to delirium. Anxiety through the roof. I kept googling things like "can you die from alcohol withdrawal" "how does dying from alcohol withdrawal feel" "symptoms of severe alcohol withdrawal" "how likely is it to die from alcohol withdrawal and delirium" - something along those lines. So, so often, with breaks in between trying to work, but I must have googled something like "dying" + "alcohol" like 60-100 times at least within a couple of hours. At some point my computer/browser asked if I was alright because my behaviour was suspicious. Needless to say this shot my anxiety up even more and I panicked so hard because I didn't know whether this was somehow reported to the university whose internet and laptop I was using or whether this was just google.
This was in 2019 and I still get anxiety attacks thinking about this message popping up
Genuine question because I have no idea who that is, did she do this on purpose so that people would be fished into watching the video and therefore listening to what she is saying there?
Yeah I also noticed that person/account and it is insanely annoying. Don't know what to do about it apart from reporting it
For real for real, had a horrible ant infestation, had to leave for a week, came back to a bathroom full of spiders and sucked out mummified ants. I mean they should have used some protection at their orgies but ok I guess a fuckfest after a gluttonous feeding was justified.
