  Even when the father is the father of both fraternal twins, one can still be darker than the other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reform UK unveils massive £50bn welfare overhaul to scrap PIP⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not surprised. I sat on the train with a couple of guys who’d been to a conference of like-minded twats and the statement “why should parents get benefits when they have disabled kids? They knew the risk” is still burned into my brain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A fossil-fuel plant seeing nuclear coming...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The fossil fuel industry wants more nuclear because it takes a lot of money and a lot of time to build. It gives them more time to make more money. Renewables are too fast and too cheap.

  Mine keeps suggesting videos I’ve already watched.

  His party says it is hard work but you should do it for free because it’s “the greatest joy in the world”.

  Hork.

  I’ll be dropping off my kids at his office tout suite.

  If there’s a camera there, why isn’t there a real picture?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The size decrease of fast-food over the last 5 years.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Funnily enough, the “small” fries you get at McDonald’s in Germany are the same size as the US medium ones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would it be offensive for me to wear bonnets as a white person?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hallöchen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No Spoiler 👁️⃤⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I lost 14 colleagues and none of them were American. Was the response overblown? Yes. But it’s called the “World” Trade center for a reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix is garbage⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People who live in Germany: don’t. You’ll get caught.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Only boomers can use this bench. Meanwhile, they're trying to get rid of their own property taxes.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you saying only boomers can be disabled?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capital of Estonia after a visit from Swedish football fans⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a swiss football team near us that has fans that all wear khaki trousers and black shirts and they march instead of singing and waving scarves. Creepy as hell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The gaming industry is truly messed up…⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d buy a house, swt up a retirement fund and pay a bunch of politicians to support green energy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Get a grip. She looks lovely. Now take the picture down or I’ll doxx you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the thing you're supposed to be doing right now instead of scrolling?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I should be visiting Basel Münster but I’m sitting on the platform above the Rhine instead because for some reason walking up the steps has made me very sick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I didn't realize masala, was spicy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re not British, I take it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨take their money and arrest those responsible⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bingo. I used to work for Shell. This is exactly what they do. And whenever I tell people I get told I’m a conspiracy theorist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your excuse for the current state of affairs?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Every time someone catches covid they lose 1 IQ point on average. Since (unless you’re vaccinated) you don’t really become immune anymore, you’re likely to lose several IQ points a year. QED.

  (That said, things were already going downhill before The Great Lurgy).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to think this and it took me far too long to realise that men aren’t icky, I’m just a raging lesbian.

  Probably. Orcas can behave in quote a human manner sometimes.

  They have to legally do so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I survive the US immigration?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bring a dumb phone and maybe it’s a good idea to ask Meta, Google, etc. to delete your data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finding humour in a dying world⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You kid, but it’s one of the reasons the procession caterpillar is out of hand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eric Metaxas denounces air quality alert triggered by the Canadian wildfires⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fine. Go outside, have an asthma attack that kills you. Nobody cares.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve trained myself out of the stomach ache but damn, it used to hurt so much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are separable verbs a thing in ENG?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No. No it’s not. I speak both fluent English and Dutch and German is an absolute bloody nightmare.
