"Europe" is different enough from the US to kind of be lumped together to indicate that the person took a long trip to somewhere very different. If the person listening asks "Where all did you go? What was interesting?" etc., then you can explain in greater detail.

A lot of people aren't interested in anything other than themselves and won't ask. So, refraining from great detail in the initial sentence saves time.

I worked in Europe for three years, and when I'd be back in the US on a business trip, people would ask "How was Europe?" Anything longer than a one-sentence reply was greeted with blank stares. About 80% of people want the answer to be "Fine" or "Busy" or "Crowded" or "Got to try different foods," but nothing more. The 20% who want to know more ask for more details.

To be fair, those unimaginative names were chosen by Europeans who left Europe and settled* in what they called The New World.

*Some would say that those those Europeans colonized The New World.

Toby the Jungle Cat: "They Aight."

And he knew weeks earlier that he'd have to reset the trip odo at 122,667.0 miles so that 789.0 miles later he'd hit 123456 on the main one.

If the insect causes a hole that lets the inflatable person deflate, why does it stay inflated when parent duck blows it back up?

But we need to give good grades to certain groups of people even when the individuals from those groups don't earn them, because it improves their self-image.

Me getting teleported to the BEST POSSIBLE city in 1300:
-Hey guys, my mouth tastes like garbage; who's got some toothpaste and a spare toothbrush?
-What do you mean, you "take a bath once a year, whether you need it or not?"
-Crap! I got a cut. Anybody got some Neosporin?
-Awright, I got some reading material and some spare time...is there a roll of TP in the...WHAT THE HECK IS THAT STENCH?!
-Man, walking everywhere gave me a powerful thirst. Which way to the cool, clean, refreshing, non-polluted, parasite-free water?
-I got some reading to catch up on, but the sun is going down...what do you mean "use a candle?"
-Get away from me with those leeches and blister poultice...doesn't anyone have an aspirin?

I can't imagine asking an *ex* for money for anything. Wouldn't you have current friends you could prevail on in an emergency?

Of course, looking at her attitude, the friends who'd bail me out in an emergency are ones I'd do the same for...so, since she seems to be a one-way-street as far as "help" goes, maybe I shouldn't be surprised that she needs a sugar daddy to pay rather than a friend to lend some money.

History shows, again and again,
how nature points out the folly of men.

Man, I'd give my right arm to be able to make those jokes.

Concrete is super dense. One ton is a cube 0.42 m per side.

I can only make out "Epstein didn".

-It's personal
-Girls like good cheese
-Unless someone is lactose intolerant, he/she wouldn't normally be offended by cheese
-Without throwing a large party, the wheel of cheese should last longer than flowers

Monica Lewinski has really shifted her politics to the right.

I guess the Democrats left a bad taste in her mouth.

Hazelnut.

In 2022, this is the less fat person who gets the scooter for his larger wife/friend/brother.

Also, your job will be something like factory worker, miner or farmer...definitely NOT Pro-communist meme maker.

I wonder how many of them were glad to accept an obvious bribe, and how many got "stuck" by arcane and complex laws. For example, it's illegal for someone to donate money to a campaign on behalf of someone else in many cases (because some people aren't allowed to donate, or are restricted in the amount). Other times, someone needs to recuse themselves from certain actions because they have an interest in a matter, but it's not always obvious (like a family member owns stock in an oil company among LOTS of others, but you're regulating oil businesses).

They're brothers, right? I mean, there's open-mindedness, but to the point where it's so open that your brains fall out?

For once there's "one simple trick" that we can all get behind.

That is such a wrong statement...




It isn't an unpopular opinion.
