My friend and I just assumed he could tell we were American and didn’t want to serve us. We didn’t stick around to ask. And he didn’t tell us off or to leave or anything, but just more blatantly ignored us.
Like I said, overall still good time. Everyone else was nice and happy enough to chat/serve us (or at least appeared to be lmao)
I’m white af, but, as an American, I didn’t get treated as rudely anywhere else in Germany than Berlin. Still had a great time overall in the city, but, not really in a rush to go back.
My friend and I were standing at a bar mulling over the menu, just kind of murming to one another over what drinks we wanted while we were waiting for the bartender to finish up with his other customers. It wasn’t busy, but he was attending to other people. When he was finally done, he approached us and I said “Hi how are you?” with a smile. He didn’t say a single word to us, just took the menus from in front of us and put them on the back shelf, and then turned away.
So we left. Our money clearly wasn’t good enough there, and we spent it in another bar across the alleyway instead.
This is my answer too! I can never decide if I liked Prague or Brussels more!
Both highly underrated places to visit for Americans imo.
I have a huge crush on Charlie Day as well! I think I’d take him as Dr. Newt Geizsler from Pacific Rim tho. While I am usually like “Daw I love Charlie” in IASIP, there’s something about him wearing winter underwear with socks that’s an immediate turn off. 😂
My husband and I are both here and voting as long as the military forces us to be here. Every election. Local, state, and federal. Blue. Every time.
But fuck, the second my contract says I’m allowed to move, I’m selling my house, fleeing this hellhole ASAP, and will never willingly set foot in this state again. Just saying.
2012 Texas was different than it is today. Not great, but exponentially better. There’s been a distinct decline over the past ~decade.
That turning on the light in the car at night was illegal because it would cause a glare on the windshield.
I believed this into my mid-20s when my husband corrected me with a fuckton of teasing and incredulity.
I feel this so hard. I fucking see you. I’m very much a extrovert. I enjoy going out and doing things with people MUCH more than I do being at home. I get hype when I get to plan something, whether that’s at my house for a D&D session or out and about around town (or even vacations). I’m also a “more the merrier type”, which means everyone is invited and I’ll genuinely talk to you/make sure no one is left out. I just like people.
But after a certain amount of times being stood-up/flaked on in the final hours, I stop with the invites. I stop asking for people’s opinions on if they want to do things with me. I stop planning. And I just kinda disconnect from people.
I’ve had introverted coworkers and associates tell me “I like to be invited, I just don’t always like to go. But I want to be included.”
But bruh, it hurts my feelings too when I get so excited to hang with everyone and you bail regularly. Clearly at some point I have to accept that I’m just not your cup of tea, and you’re prioritizing other things. That’s okay, but it doesn’t mean I have to accept continuously being knocked down by you because of it.
Imma take a stab in the dark and say that you’re your friend groups “planner” friend as well. It’s really fucking frustrating to try and plan something as simple as a dinner that requires reservations, and people are like “Um. Uh. Maybe I’ll come, idk”, up until the last minute. Or even a headcount for food being served at your house.
Right?! It’s such a creepy pic! Kinda gives me the same vibe as the OG smiledog.jpg (not the over exposed one - that one I always found silly)
Coincidentally enough, the first time I encountered thus kind of toilet was in a Hausmann flat in the Latin Quarter of Paris in late winter 2022! That made me kind of assume that these were ubiquitous to Paris because I didn’t encounter them in Germany or Belgium or Eastern France.
Now I know that was a conscious choice that the flat owner made!
I’m someone who doesn’t mind repetition/eating leftovers.
So I would swap between leftovers, and then my quick lunch would be 2 hardboiled eggs, some babybel or string cheese, and then some kind of fruit.
Minimal cooking, easy clean up, easy to take with you.
2 eggs, 2 cheese, and a banana is surprisingly filling.
Man I feel this. I’ve been obsessed with Cooking Diary since May of last year.
Just this morning, I popped awake, threw on some YT drama videos for background noise, and just played CD for like an hour and a half before I was like “Time to be productive”. Good easy start to a Sunday.
That being said, I saw further down you try not to spend money on the mobile games. I went through a phase in 2019/2020 where I was fucking massively into a Chinese dating Sim game called “Mr Love Queens Choice.” I spent $850 over the course of 2 years. It was a great game and I had a ton of fun, but there was a point where I crossed into a bonus tier that you could only get to by spending a certain dollar amount. And then I was like “Oh. Oh no boo boo what is you doin’?!”.
In our current campaign, that’s what my husband does with his rogue buddy.
They are constantly giving each other advantage, firing off a shot, and then hiding. It’s very effective.
Meanwhile I’m clumsily muddling through as a Druid because I wanted to venture out and try something new, because I usually go for a simple Fighter. I am not good at strategizing my spells 😂
Right? I use a mix of drugstore and mid-range cosmetics as a makeup enthusiast. Drugstore has stepped up their game!
My favorite foundation that I keep going back to over and over again regardless of anything else I try is the $5.99 Wet N Wild Photofocus Foundation. It’s just so…perfect. I’ve had to have exceeded 10 bottles at this point.
Same with eye primer, brow pencils, eyeliner, and mascara. So much that ELF and Essence put out in these categories are so good.
Definitely something to keep in mind the next time he denies me the standing ovation I deserve for my performance. 💅
Ah, I see my husband has made a Lemmy account.
For real though, he is not there for the story or the rp, he’s there to rage out and fight. Meanwhile I’m doing shitty voices and putting on a full Oscar worthy performance.
There are such broad dynamics between what players want, and I fucking love how flexible D&D is for that.
I’m now on my husband’s lap as he driving us 70 mph on the highway.
That seems highly unsafe.
Bruhhhhh whenever I finally start losing this weight I’ve been packing on, I look forward to a stroopwafel warmed over my black coffee every Wednesday morning.
Holy fuck people don’t know what they’re missing.
Tip over protection ftw!
In all seriousness, I do point it away from him explicitly because he swears he can feel it across the room.
Sir I use my space heater in my home in July, and I live in the US South.
I’m shocked my husband has not divorced me over it yet tbh, but he can pry it from my (literally) cold, dead hands.
I mean, it’s still a place I’d tell people to go visit. The bars/restaurants are awesome, and the (not so distant) history is sobering. I found the Stasi museum hella interesting/terrifying.
I’d just mentally prep people before-hand for the, ah, “bluntness” 😂
