The history of the battle of Hemmingstedt is very interesting, how an army of peasants decidedly repelled an army specialized in defeating peasant uprisings.

The guard had the battle cry "beware peasants, the guard is coming". After their historic defeat the Dithmarsian peasants took that battle cry and made it their own "Wahr di Garr, der bur de kumt!" -'Beware guard, the peasants are coming', mocking the foreign invaders.

"Wahr di Garr, de bur de kumt!"

Nah man, that title still goes to Joe Rogan every damn year.

But when you're sitting in the front during a crash the snack cart comes by one more time.

a pacifist as the paradox of tolerance is a difficult thing to have to come to terms with and I'm fundamentally a flawed human being

Don't think of it as a paradox - tolerance is a social contract, once you break the terms you're no longer protected by that contract because accepting that would nullify the contract for all of us.

Und habt vielleicht ne saubere Hose an, wenn ihr die Tür öffnet. Der verurteilende Blick der Elternbegleitung weil ihr in der schmutzigen Jogginghose und den Chipskrümmel im Decolleté rauskommt, könnt ihr euch so ersparen.

Entschuldige mal. Das ist mein Halloween Kostüm!

Erinnert mich an eine Anekdote über Timothy Leary, den LSD Papst. Die Polizei stand vor der Tür und Mr. Leary hat diese nur mit einem T-Shirt bekleidet geöffnet und mit seinem im Wind schwingenden Penis lautstark verlangt zu wissen was man den wolle. Die peinlich berührte Polizei bat Mr. Leary wohl mehrmals sich doch bitte eine Hose anzuziehen und bekam jedes Mal die vehemente Antwort: "Absolutely not! You're in MY house!"

My girlfriend and I are talking about this, I want her to keep her last name, I want to keep mine, but I also want to share a last name with my future children.

I'm the last male with that last name, which is very unique - basically everybody with that last name is related and we can track it at least 400 years in the past and I want my children to be part of that history. But I also want my girlfriend to have the same, like having our children be connected to her family history as well. So we will combine our names to not sever those connections.

Only part of contention is which name comes first, I like it alphabetically which would put my name first, her first and last name are alphabetically following letters (like A-B eg. Anne Barn or Chloe Detmer) which is also nice, so I am torn about that question :D

The grandmother of a friend always used to say - wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one is filled first.

Boost for lemmy doesn't show profile pics and usernames all look the same so I might have overlooked where you said that. Also your comment I replied to reads like that wasn't the case. I apologize for the mix up, but still feel your hostility is unwarranted and will now disengage.

So, what's your plan for the election? Not voting, sitting in a corner yelling "it's unacceptable!!!"?

Or voting the lesser of two evils and working to better the system?

The democratic parties of 1920s Germany also were full of racists, antisemites and union busters, but not voting or worse voting for the NSDAP only achieved one thing - the Nazis power grab.

So what's your plan?

Bieber is German for beaver. Finally someone made the connection.

I mean...at least they were dead? That's a courtesy some of Weinstein's and Epstein's victims had to take in their own hands.
