My father came to my home with his dog. Fanny is an old teck ale absolutely lively. My dog doesn't like her. So fanny had not the time to enter the house that mine jumped on her and bit her nose - she eventually had to be stitched. I find that my dog is a butch but have to side with her since she is at home. So fanny is now canis non grata.
But I love some if the answers from the lounge. The best is the ass who reduces it to a rule of power. I have also some rules at home : - thou will not smoke in here - thou will lower the toilet plank after taking a piss - thou will not vomit inside the house. I consider I have the right to not accept people who don t follow my rules. I also have the right to break my own rules. And face the consequences with my wife 🤣🤣🤣

Everybody knew that this guy was going to get in trouble just from the first paragraph of his post.
Obviously, the shit hit the fan, but 125 posts later, the person actaully returned to report on his trip.
Of course, now part 2 of the debate has begun with the 8-10% tipping issue...

Ince i was sitting at a terrace and the woman next ti me lit a cigarette. I asked her if she could be nice and sit further back. She said no but she would nit smoke if my friend kept his arms lowered. My friend sweats profusely. He has a perfect hygiene and i have never smelled anything coming from him but he just sweats. He was embarrassed. I was furious. She had not the sense to shut up. I lashed myself at her. Some people are horrible.

This was inevitable as soon as smoking was restricted even outdoors. Our local parks are smoke-free, and it would make equal sense to outlaw people cooking meat in them. Intolerence is contagious.

It doesn't say anything about cooking in parks though.
Must all street food be plant based now?

"First and formost do not try to quench an engine with water .that is wrong. 1.engine has a lot of flammable liquids,which makes it dangerous because water contains oxygen. 2.for any fire to occur 3 elements are required,mainly being oxygen,fuel +heat will give u a fire. So once you pour water on flammable liquids you will be fanning the fire with oxygen in the water."

They've come up with plant-based pork. And evidently it can be certified Kosher and Halal. Beyond weird...
Not from a forum but a snippet from the Coronavirus coverage in the Globe and Mail (a major Canadian newspaper. In Angela Merkel's speech to the nation, she spoke out against "Hamstern".
"She thanked shelf-stockers and cashiers, surely a first for a political leader’s major speech, and gently admonished Germans for “hamstern,” or panic buying (think of a hamster stuffing its cheeks with food)".

Yes. We use the same word in flemish. Hamsteren. Heard it for the first time this week too. I find it super nice.

It must have been dead scary for any kids in the shop...seeing Mum getting a thump from a stranger and the yelling and pushing. You can see the anger in the Prime Minister's face and voice when he said he'd never been so ashamed of his country and "This is not the Australian way".

Quite amazing that attitudes towards women in 600AD are retained to the modern day. Just shows how backward religion can be.

I got this really weird comment on a cat protection and rescue site, from a Jewish person (this is relevant here)
"I really don’t like it when others refer to my religion when it is not there religion. “Especially stringent” makes Judaism sound onerous which it is not. People do their best, and they ask their Rav (rabbinic decisor) for advice if need be. My RC friend feels sad that Palm Sunday will not happen this year as per other years and while I can’t understand it, I can empathize".
My (polite) response:
I was COMPLIMENTING Judaism and Jewish communities, not criticising! How can being more respectful of hygiene be viewed as a fault?
I have no religion whatsoever, but I do have Catholic traditions, though I’m a devout atheist. And have a lot of Jewish friends here, in Europe and in South America (Argentina and Brazil). Most but not all are as faithless as I am, but traditions remain.
If people are studying comparative religions, or comparative literature etc, obviously some of them will be of one tradition, as compared to their colleagues from others. That is why these fields of studies are richer if they encompass people from diffrent faith and cultural traditions.
Not going into my graduate essays and theses, but they involved both Carlo and Primo Levi.
I was very pissed off at Ms so-and-so insinuating that I was some kind of antisemite. That is on the level of accusing people of being pedophiles.

"I really don’t like it when others refer to my religion when it is not there(sic) religion." Logically then it seems nobody can comment on anything if they are not part of it, whatever that thing is. Far too sensitive some people and tie that in with often religious people viewing everything through the lens of their religion, plus being very defensive about the religion due to historcal reasons.

I like to answer on that count that no book should be written about death since obviously the only good good book should be written by a dead author.

Just think though, there's a forum somewhere posting what we write and saying the same thing. Maybe.

Vaccinated OR tested positive for blood antigen/antibodies for COVID-19 AND negative for active infection works for me.

Kimby, you should know that Alex Jones is one of the chief nutcases spewing out false information on the internet, like that the murders of the schoolchildren in Sandy Hook never happened.

The logistic for this are breathtaking. I was in Nepal when the triple antigen and polio immunisations were just reaching there ...Thirty years after they were available in the West...1995
Good luck with that, Bill.

In Florida a university is doing a random blood draw on 3500 people to see how many have been exposed and have antibodies. Could help with policy decisions.
A good antibody test result could be a get out of jail free card, too.
