Panfilo posted:Awfully convenient the same people who have terrible 'genetic' body odor also have terrible allergies to soaps. I do know a guy with an honest to god disorder of some kind, for some reason his sweat smells loving horrible. He showers several times a day but the moment he starts to sweat you can smell him from across the room. If he's in a car and sweats on the seat the smell lingers for hours unless you drive for a while with the windows down. Antiperspirant helps to a degree but if he just puts deodorant or body spray on they're easily overpowered by his intensely rank stench. You can imagine the professional and social difficulties he's had because of that.

Panfilo posted:Oh I certainly believe its possible but I'm saying its more likely its one or the other. The odds of someone having horrible genetic stench AND being allergic to anything soap related seem pretty slim, thankfully. Yeah, there's no way you could mistake this guy for someone who just didn't wash. His smell is way different from normal body odor, it's kinda similar to the sort of burnt rubber undertone that skunk spray has, a bit like catching a whiff of a dead skunk on the other side of a freeway. When I lived back home and hung out with that guy I kept a bottle of Febreeze under my car seat for just that purpose. Stink aside, he's a pretty cool dude.

belt posted:I'm a vet and I'm also a pretty lovely person. I drink too much and I probably could run a mile in about 3 days but we aren't gonna find that out because I'm never gonna do that. There was a period there, from probably 2005 until maybe 2012 or 2013, before the drawdown, where you could get away with all kinds of bullshit because they just needed warm bodies. Back in 2000-2002 my unit and most others on my post at the time mandated remedial PT for anyone who got under 250. When I was back in for a bit around 2008 lots of people were barely scraping 180 and that was with more than a bit of pencil whipping. It still blows my mind how many people were making E-5 after like 18 months, that poo poo is just crazy. Also, lots of attitudes changed within the Army after 9/11, lots of people were fairly reasonable about how a soldier should be treated but once that decades long collective "Are Troops" blowjob began a lot of people got used to being the center of attention and can't handle when they're not.

Elpato posted:In my experience (from living on base/being enlisted), you can have personal guns and other weapons in your home, but you can't just have a weapon on you unless you are assigned a duty that requires that weapon. You also have to qualify with that weapon to a certain degree of proficiency before they issue it to you. That's pretty much the entire reason they have people in the barracks lock up their personal weapons in the vault. Anyone who's seen the poo poo combat arms soldiers get up to in the barracks would want their guns locked up. Every unit I was in required the commander's written permission to withdraw your guns and then you had to have them back by the end of the duty day, so basically only during leave because the unit armorer isn't going to be there on the weekends. Some guys did have friends who lived off-post store them to avoid the hassle.

Karma Monkey posted:What cultures don't have distinct words for green and blue? In some (maybe all, I don't know) of the Celtic languages they use one word for various shades of green, blue and grey and add words to differentiate like "sky", "leaf" or whatever particular shade you're trying to talk about. Of course, there are recently invented words for green in some of those languages because of the influence of the majority language but older speakers often find them really bizarre.

Aramek posted:I did have one person every year try and call it "Samhain" or whatever bullshit, that almost counts. My mom is a Wiccan of some kind and she does that. She had this weird idea that a big grab bag of mystical stuff (I never ask details) were commonplace in modern Celtic countries and when I moved to Brittany (she lives in the States) this was one of the things she was excited to "confirm" to her Wiccan friends. She thinks Celtic languages are somehow more "in tune with magic" so she assumed that since I speak Breton I must have had magical business going on around me on a daily basis. She pretty frequently calls me with odd questions but she was really in rare form that night. me: her: So, are you doing anything for Samhain? Sorry, for what? (she had pronounced it like Sam Hane) *spells out Samhain* Ah, Samhain. That's Irish for November, I guess I don't really understand the question? It's a Celtic festival, on that day the walls between this world and the other are thinner. Are any of your friends going to any ceremonies or rituals tonight? Not that I'm aware of. Maybe it's because you're a foreigner and they think you wouldn't understand I'm pretty sure most of my friends are going to Halloween parties or bars. They'll probably do it afterwards. Sorry but I should probably go, I'm meeting some friends at the bar in a few minutes. Be careful going home afterwards, fairies will be out tonight and they can be dangerous. Ok mom, talk to you later. I love her to death but conversations like that are just exhausting.

For all the awkward conversations it causes I am really glad she found that, she's had a really rough life and the last 10 years or so since she's found Wicca have been some of her happiest.

ThePlague-Daemon posted:For whatever reason, I decided to look around at raccoon etymology, and it seems like cultures that were doing a lot of colonialism in the Americas adopted local terminology and other languages translated the old taxonomic name. Washbear comes from ursus lotor, which is how Carl Linnaeus classified them in his taxonomy. Meanwhile, raccoon is adapted from Powhatan. The French term raton-laveur means little washer rat, which doesn't make sense, except that raton sounds kinda/sorta like raccoon and I guess the washer part was added later. Spanish has mapache, which comes from Nahuatl, and Portuguese has guaxinim from Tupi. Things like this are interesting in minority languages within colonizing states because sometimes they just take the dominant language's word (raton lavaire in Occitan) or get it from somewhere else completely (rakoun in Breton).

I'm just going to copy and paste the text because screenshotting this would be a chore quote:Gather round boys uncle Russ is talking. Political Correctness is starting to make me sick. I guess that we should just walk around with our mouths shut only open to eat or drink. Oh and don’t make any gesture with your hands. I am watching the best World Series in a long time may be the best of all time. Yuli Gurriel makes a gesture with his hands to slant his eyes at Hu Darvish and the hole world is talking about it. Who cares. I guess Yuli would of been better off if he would of flipped him the bird or grabbed his crotch an said right here Hu. But no he used the Cuban term for Chinese boy and the whole country goes in to a panic. I’m sorry but I don’t care. All I care about is that Yuli hits about 5 more home runs in game 6. He's a fat old white man from the Detroit suburbs who collects disability, shockingly enough.

It would be great to see one of these idiots go back in time to see "pure" pre-invasion english, AKA the language of the Britons before the many invasions, and have it be a completely alien language to them, Anglo-Saxon basically replaced it. Welsh is old British, English is corrupted German, the Britons that didn't flee to france to escape the the Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Romans went north and west and became the Welsh and the Scots, wiping out the Picts at the time.

There's a set of people whose brains just short out when they hear people talk in any way different from them, in every country.
