Remember when the internet was inexplicably obsessed with bacon, to the point where just saying the word counted as a hilarious meme? Weird times. It's fine I guess but bacon isn't even really that great.

Wasn't that spawned by the whole epic mealtime thing with bacon strips and bacon weaves being added to everything. Also now I want nachos dammit.

Iirc it was mostly spawned by the pork industry having a glut of pork bellies that they needed to do something with, so they threw as much bacon as possible at internet banter ladz until it became a meme. There's no reason why the epic man food lol couldn't have been steak, or pork chops, or lamb shank, or sausages, and it almost was cheeseburgers, but that's why it was bacon.

Just play video games instead, its the weekend! Getting depressed about impending war and the horrors of politics is for when you want to avoid work during the week. I slept in and got brought fluffy american pancakes in bed and am now watching the wife play the new Horizon game. She's feeling much better so its a good day!

In fairness Fransen - or at least the unquenchable horniness of fash for her - has disrupted and broken up at least 3 fascist groups (post-Griffin BNP, EDL, that EDL offshoot I forget the name of after Robinson left) and is still causing ructions in Britain First. She's certainly done more to break up the far right in the UK than any liberal has managed, although I feel like this might be a bit of a "Well Hitler killed Hitler so is he all bad?" situation.

Doesn't she pop up at every single by-election across the country losing her deposit too? I recall seeing her name at the bottom of that one the other week after some MP died. Totally forgotten she existed til I clocked that. Also laffo when I found out that Golding prick is 5 years younger than me, he looks 10 years older. And he's a twat.

They should learn Breton, an actual British language disliked by French chauvinists, and demand to take the test in that.

I found an article warning about this in written 2018, but we can't expect the government to work things out with only 4 years notice. Also, has the guardian published an article today that leads with a picture that has already been established to be of a neo-nazi paramilitary gang

Pretty sure I also saw her name in one of the last two by elections where labour got owned E: she seems to be standing everywhere in the delusional belief that any day now she's going to find the mythical constituency where the silent majority are going to give her a seat in parliament to spout hateful poo poo.

I was constantly impressed when living in Spain how helpful and friendly folk were the second they realised i wasn't a maroon faced screaming gammon. Even when i barely spoke a word of spanish having just moved there. Brits over there are actually the worst I've ever seen and would regularly yell at waiters, snap fingers and were just so... Pink.

When I lived in Egypt, Egyptians were always pleased when I tried to speak Arabic with them*. As with most people, my listening understanding was somewhat better than my speaking ability so it was funny if someone made a comment assuming I wouldn't understand hahaha. Egyptian microbus driver in Arabic to passenger next to him: "Where does the crazy foreigner think she's going?" Crazy foreigner in Arabic to driver: "RmZees inshallah" (Ramsees = main train station, inshallah = 'god willing') But some of the funniest conversations were where they assumed from my appearance that I was German. So I'd be speaking in crappy Arabic, they would reply in crappy German and neither of us could stop talking in the other language (like an on/off switch that you can't switch off). *or in the local hardware store when they could couldn't contain their grins as I approached - here comes the evening's cabaret as the crazy foreigner tries to explain what she needs in Arabic (none of them could speak English). Usually a combination of crappy Arabic + pantomime + a few times getting handed a piece of paper and a pencil and the command "draw". When I needed a neon tester though, I got an Arab friend to phone them and tell them what I needed. Too important for mistakes!

And the Maltese *like* the British (and hate the Germans) for fairly obvious historical reasons.

Where I lived, Alicante, was more German, Dutch and French than English as they mostly went to Torrevieja or Benidorm. Still found the brits to be less likely to speak ANY other languages and be offended they couldn't get a chicken tikka masala and match of the day tho. Jaeluni Asjil posted:As with most people, my listening understanding was somewhat better than my speaking ability so it was funny if someone made a comment assuming I wouldn't understand hahaha. Man, with my ADHD I am entirely the opposite. My brain has so much trouble with understanding new language and just autocompletes sentences with total garbage. However I'm really good at pronunciation and learning to speak. So I'd end up with situations constantly where folks thought I was Spanish and would immediately switch to insanely fast chatter and I'd have to go all deer in the headlights and explain "no, speak as if to an idiot, I'm still learning sorry" and they'd still go too fast. My local pharmacist was the best, he'd constantly ask me how I was doing and test my language each time, then get random old spanish people passing by to ask me questions and try to show different words in different accents. I miss Spain =(

I struggle to understand english spoken by people in the place I have lived my entire life so accents really gently caress me up, but similarly I will usually speak in as clear of a voice as I can because I assume everyone else has that problem too.

The part of Spain where I lived for a while was, I learned, predominantly a German winter second-home resort because under Franco it was developed as a kind of spa for the Luftwaffe in WW2. (Spain was technically neutral, but when the fascist dictator puts his entire country on Berlin time, which is still in effect to this day despite all the problems being out of sync with the sun causes, you get an idea which side he supported.) My Spanish is terrible, but I found that the mere act of trying to use it sincerely gets you immediate... well, sympathy, I suppose. But that's better than the contempt given to the bellowing beer-bellied "Three-o curve-ate-saz!" I saw.

Not the Dutch. They tended to get right offended. "We all speak English you know!" Followed by switching back to Dutch and talking to their friends over you about some poo poo, expensive restaurant they went to. At that point I'd normally start an argument about how zwarte piet is racist just to spite them.
