His american colleagues sometimes poke fun at my cousins branch for only working 35 hours a week, taking long vacations and having lots of state mandated holidays throughout the year. When they hire someone new they sometimes comment on how lazy the german colleagues are...

Then they point them towards the numbers and the fact that the german branch is constantly setting the productivity records. They've been outperforming the americans by more than 10% for years.

This mortifies europeans of every generation. In Scandinavia you can leave your pram unsupervised outside a café so your child can sleep well in the cool fresh air while you get a coffee and talk to the other parents doing the same. European schoolchildren walk or bike to school from first grade onwards and they can take public transportation all on their own. Our playgrounds would be deemed suicidal by modern american parents and they would freak out knowing children learn to whittle with sharp knives in a waldkindergarten.

I really don't know how americans can still believe to be the freest nation when the only freedom index they are not completely outclassed by european nations is the economic freedom index.

To quote the greatest poet of our time:

The finger to the land of the chains What? The "land of the free"? Whoever told you that is your enemy.

Uhh, do Disney!

In short: Femboy is about presenting as a very feminine man, men doing that can include trans men.

Slightly longer: It's why there are different categories for sex, gender assigned at birth, gender identity and gender expression. A femboy would identify male and express feminine. The opposite is a tomboy, somebody who identifies as female and expresses in a masculine manner, both are not necessarily linked to the individuals sex and/or gender assigned at birth.

Trans refers to a different gender identity than the gender assigned at birth and doesn't come into play here.

or that we should stop eating cats and dogs. Of course we’ll keep doing those things.

Wait, what?

My most hated meme people use right now is: "We've had the worst storms/rains/drought/fires of the century every year, that's just how it is."

Bitch if it's the worst of the century every year that means it's getting worse every year! There's no status quo in this!

There is anti-americanism (which I'll gladly join in on) and then there's making asshole memes.

Anon doesn't care she's drunk, only that she "belongs" to someone else. Good Anon would have told her to try this again while sober and preferably single.

Love to see those carbon steel pans, but eggboy has overloaded them with oil.

Those pans are naturally non-stick and you only need a bit of oil in them for a good fry and to keep the non-stickyness. That much oil can make them tacky and will make the eggs crunchy and dry insted of giving them that tasty pan-fried surface finish.
