However, another big issue is cultural differences. We do have a sense of humor, it's just different than in other cultures because it is a product of a different culture. Simply put, what you might find incredibly funny is considered unfunny by Germans... and vice versa.

It's actually a multi-faceted issue. Yes, some Germans are incredibly devoid of humor, although those people exist in other countries too. I have no ideas regarding statistics, but these people exist.

So, about this long-standing stereotype that "Germans have no sense of humor"...

I got enough Rand fighting my way through the Sword of Truth series. I can't imagine trying to read the original work.

All the people who like Rand should go live in a big underwater city. I cannot foresee anything that could go wrong with such a scenario.

Everyone needs to stop reading Rand

Gotten a new Gundam gunpla toy model kit 

Ugh it's ridiculous how some people worship Rand's ideas.

That's one of the things the old cable companies got right: Only one or two options per area. The illusion of choice.

business types need to stop reading Ayn Rand.

The streaming services are starting to get too saturated and start canabilising each other.

Good thing I never bought into VRV...Funimation is pulling out. And I got into HiDive at $4 a month.

The restauraunt messes up your food, you complain to customer service. Complain to 911 when you get food poisoning from said food.

Ugh. I hate people sometimes.

I mean, white people are calling the cops on black people for random shit lately, it appears.

It's not that surprising that some people freaked out enough over Youtube being down that they'd call emergency services. I mean, I've heard of at least one instance of someone calling 911 because the restaurant didn't make a cheeseburger to their liking.

https://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2018/10/16/youtube-experiences-widespread-outage/ Just one of several stories about it.

*groan* Morons.

Yep.

people were calling 911 about YouTube being down?

....what

Apparently some people freaked out so much they called 911.

I was at work when it happened I guess.

disappeared completely up its own asshole.

Youtube was gone?

I actually agree with you MEDdMI, or at least be creative. x.x

Death threats are boring. Get to know the person, then torment them with stuff that really gets under their skin. *evil grin*

YouTube is back!

Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.

BTW for the three of you who haven't discovered yet, YouTube is down.

maybe this is that persons first death threat, and the creativity will come with more experiance

Nah. Or at least not near as creative as some of them I've got. This one was a basic "If I ever see you IRL I'll slit you're throat."

was it at least a creative threat?

Speaking of which.. Got a deaththeat today on an other messageboard.

Arguing with an idiot is like playing chess with a pidgeon; no matter what you do it's going to shit on the board and strut around like it won.

Well, there is also the fact that the person you're arguing against won't accept the authority as neutral (or valid or credible) unless they agree with everything that person says.

Never argue with idiots. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Anyone who's ever argued with dumbasses on the internet knows how stubborn and persistent they can be. Dozens of people can tell them they're wrong, and they' just stick their fingers in their ears and go "na na can't hear you!"

Especially if its a bet about an objective truth. Chances are, you provide overwhelming evidence for your position, the dumbass won't accept your evidence or will just change the rules and then claim the money you allegedly owe him.

I've just been reminded of a life lesson: Never take a bet with a dumbass unless there's a neutral authority accepted by both sides that will decide on the winner.

Peace was never an option.

The war between the cerapods and the theropods continues to the modern era

The parrot, once I stopped pressing the button on the toy. It might have gone on forever otherwise.

Depends. Who won?

Should I be worried that my 40-year-old parrot got into a roaring contest with a Jurassic World toy?

was the bride's name Sarah Connor?

A sawed off shotgun is fairly easy to conceal. Of course, they're also illegal.

Maybe they wear a really, really baggy coat.

I don't wanna think about the body type where a SHOTGUN is concealed carry.

"If there any objections-" *Both sides pull out ridiculous amounts of weapons against each other*
