Good enough to be understood but not good enough to not use idioms incorrectly. For example, I spent a solid five minutes trying to remember if “así así” or “ni fu ni fa” can apply to competency before throwing my hands up.

Mediocre. Mi español es mediocre.

I just need practice.

My partner and I almost moved to Germany last year and I am so glad we didn’t. If we’re going to be in a fascist country, I’d prefer to be a citizen since white fascists tend to frown extra hard on us brown immigrants.

They think this life is a transitional state and accelerating toward their mythological end times gets their sky wizard’s kid/avatar to come back. This we all get to be happy, except those that aren’t Christian. We’re all fucked. These fuckers are insane.

Depending on who steps in, it could be a significant achievement for world peace.

My long-time ex was Jewish, can confirm. They were alright but their zionist relatives absolutely dropped some fucking bombs (proverbial, probably literal now) during family gatherings. The mildest was the tired old “part of being a good Jew is supporting Israel” ranging up to “Palestinians are subhuman and should be exterminated”. Mind, this was over twenty years ago and the situation has demonstrably escalated since.

Doing the Lawd’s work, Prof!

That’s the key. I LOVE explaining things I’m passionate about but it’s rude to just go wild on people, so I’ve developed a process to gauge familiarity and interest.

Show the baby MC Escher drawings, shame it horribly for not following along, and in 22-24 years you may have a physicist!

Awww, I’ll be your data dump buddy! I’ll tell you all about freshwater fish, brewing rice wine, and woodworking in great detail if you’ll tell me your things in equal detail.

Goddamn, your comment inspired me to reread the trilogy. Well done!

Dolphinsex.org: never forget.

And if you’re in a conservative hell state in the United States where doctors refuse to do a tubal ligation unless you have one child, are over 30, or “get your (nonexistent) husband to sign off on it”, find a doctor in Washington, California, Massachusetts, or really any non Republican dumpster fire, and they’ll likely treat you like an adult. Likely. Not bitter about that at all.

And that 145 is just those who noticed. I regularly have to self administer injections and they’re often nearly painless once you’re used to doing it, especially with small gauge needles.

Now with 50% more pork!™

Same! Life becomes a parody of itself.

I also have chronic pain and it’s really the worst. Sorry you’re saddled with it too. It’s interesting how if you say what you just did to “normal people”, they’ll often react by trying to talk you out of your opinion, but chronic pain sufferers usually just grunt their agreement.

The ABC contacted the birth worker, but she declined an interview and advised reporters not to contact “any of the women or families I may or may not have served, past, present or future”.

Fucking galaxy brain thinking there.

I gotchu fam:

…What did I just read?

Goddamn, we’re at around $4.10-4.20 per gallon here. Same as Hawaii, 33% more than NYC. Gotta love the PNW.
