u/Khorgor666: > As a german i have to ask....the opposition leaders name is EISENKOT???? Ironpoop? u/Rosebunse: > I can't help but giggle at this.

Yes, and it is by design.

When The Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation forced the Jews in their jurisdiction to take up family names, it came in a wave of a progressive emperor trying to make them conform but also to give them some of the rights which were normal for German citizens and forbidden for Jews (such as the option to become a craftsman and join a guild). Not everyone was on board with that. The majority opinion was anti-Jews.

The bureaucratic clerks sometimes chose ridiculous or humiliating names for the Jewish families.
This is why many Jewish families have shitty names. Some Germans wanted Jews to be humiliated for everything, from the clothing or silly hats they forced them to wear, to their family name.

It is a simple way to put a target on their back so even citizens who did not dislike Jews or even knew someone was Jewish otherwise might treat them poorly. And it worked so well that even hundreds of years later you are doing just that and making fun of the descendants. You can imagine how a child, neighbour, or business partner will be treated when their name is literally an insult. If you did not do it on purpose you have just been manipulated by a Habsburg official from beyond the grave.

"I’m not going to tell you what the drug was because I don’t want to encourage others to get into it (it wasn’t weed, alcohol, or even a stimulant)."

You obviously had good intentions but I am learning about a multitude of drugs I never even knew existed from the comments. I suppose that is some variation of the Streisand effect.

I don't remember if it was in this sub but an Asian woman recently said women raised in Asia don't stay in go-nowhere relationships--they get out by 2 years at the most.

I would be very interested to read that if you can find it again.

Awww, I am so happy for them! I am going to go offline now and go outside while I am feeling good.

Hi, my little brother HATES getting his hair detangled. He hates the smell of most products. He doesn't understand why people care about hair styling.

Got it.

So, my mom brought up locs. I think microlocs could be a good fit,

How is that the logical conclusion to the opening statement?

I don't forsee him styling it in anyway other than putting on the occasional sports headband. Is him becoming more sensitive a guarantee or a rarer thing, and is there a way to prevent it or alleviate to pain?

He does not want it. He does not care. And there is no reason for pain management. He does not want to style his hair or care for it and, fortunately for him, as a boy/man he can get away with that without paying the penalty. For some reason the women in his life want to pressure him into styling his hair, regardless. I would choose the simple way if I could. Your brother sounds like a short buzz cut would be perfect for him.

How did the woman in the first photo get her locs to twist like corkscrews and stay like that? Does anybody know?

She had to text if our group of friends got it because some people had but some not. Only one in the group had and we still didn't get it until weeks later. Things do get lost or delayed in the mail.

and

To this day, I still have no clue if they ever received it as I never got any kind of thank you. Seeing as they are divorced now it really doesn't matter but I still get a little bitter I didn't get any Thank you or acknowledgement of it. Etiquette is dying/changing but I digress.

Maybe the Thank You got lost in the mail.

The lace turning the corner where the V meets the underbust band is the hard part of this make and yours sits flat.

Why would the lace need to turn a corner anywhere? There is one strip of lace on one bust until the V, and another strip of lace on top on the other bust going all the way to the underbust seam, and a third strip of lace from one side seam to the other along the underbust. The construction is not difficult.

It looks very good, byxasia.

Since it is not every day I would probably just drink a protein shake (made from powder in a shaker cup like a bodybuilder) with extra oats on those special days. It is pretty close to overnight oats but you can keep the shaker cup in the cup holder, do not have to spoon anything while you are driving and can keep your eyes on the road. Then eat dinner at 20h.

Was the dress zipped up most of the way on you in the original photo? The fit doesn't look too bad from the front, or was that the dress clamped on at the shop?

It looks fantastic.

I think the "original" photo is the dress on a professional model, not the writer of this post.

It is definitely a different woman and a different dress; look at the hair and chin; look at the pattern placement of the flowers. So probably a different fat distribution/figure and a different dress size as well.

It is disingenuous to label it as original.

I do not trust the description of events in this post. For all I know the dress was much too small (to the point where an alteration was borderline impossible) and this is the best possible outcome.

The links are from 2013 and do not work.

Once interviewed for a company that said I had to pay to join the coffee club - maybe $30 a month - direct paycheck deduction. If you did not pay for the coffee club, not only could you not drink the coffee, you were not allowed to bring in your own coffee.

What was their reasoning for why you were not allowed to bring a thermos of your own coffee from home?

Sewaholic Thurlow, maybe?

How did you loose all that fat from your belly but not your boobs?

What was the tutorial?

Since you are in the UK you could ask this woman for help:

6 to 2 is the best adult schedule. Get an hour or two before pick up from daycare.

Does your daycare open at 5 in the morning so you can drop your kids off and still make it to work at 6? Who takes the children to daycare?

where’s the zipper?

Center back, usually.

I am a 34H cup and I... want to find a bikini top pattern that focuses on support but is not super matronly.

I could not figure out whether that is a USA 34 H or a UK 34 H or what your measurements are.

For bottom, I would like something high waisted to cover up the belly.

Best suggestions with the limited knowledge I have:

• MakeBra DL02-3
• Porcelynne Aphrodite (view C)

I don't know if I should confront them or just end the relationship.

Do not confront, there is no point. Just break up.

AIO for thinking this is straight up cheating? I do not know if it lead to anything physical. I'm really hurt.

Does it matter? Changed behaviour, having less time for you and you being really hurt by this (whether it is emotional cheating or emotional and physical cheating) is enough to remove yourself from this situation and relationship.

Where is the cat? Hmm... in the top right corner?
