OwlFancier posted:Specifically sonder means "special" in german, I think, so it's a weird word choice. It's from The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, a compilation of invented words for various complicated emotions. The words are mostly meant to sound English/German but also be completely new; there's likely no intended relation to the German word (if the author was even aware it was already a real word).

Pff, amateur hour, someone obviously doesn't enjoy the ridiculous nazi penchant for naming poo poo. You, a normal person: M2 halftrack. Me, the superior aryan galxy brain: Sonderkraftfahrzeug Zweihunderteinundfunfzehn/Zweiundzwanzig. Though admittedly that's mostly "languages with iffy ways of counting" but maybe if your language has hosed up numbers then use fewer of them  It's a tendency that does survive into older english though such as with four-and-twenty blackbirds.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I watched the music video to Aesop Rock's Kirby which features his cat and is incredibly adorable and it made me feel better.

She started out nervy as hell and she wasn't eating properly but by the end she knew this was home and she seemed incredibly comfortable. And being selfish, she died before I got too attached. Because the last cat I had I'd had since I was a kid and she lived nearly 20 years and I bawled my eyes out.

Sanitary Naptime posted:I got told I was intimidating in my old work once and was then informed someone had specifically asked the manager if they could be put on different shifts from me. To this day, I still don’t understand it. One of my coworkers said it was my voice and the way I carry myself but she couldn’t be any more specific than “just could be a bit I guess”. This is a dangerous man, I saw him verbally abuse a born again Christian. Work is a tough one- I've been told I was making people feel uncomfortable just because I wondered out loud about tower 7 words to the tune of: why would the CIA store all their files above a diesel storage facility anyways??!?

Sorry about your loss Forkboy. My boy died in 2012 aged 16 and my girl in 2013 aged 17. I still miss them both like heck. I'm not allowed pets where I currently live but didn't feel ready for new kitties until recently in any case.

Because we're loosely talking about it. I can't find the post where a goon was offering free seeds and I talked about the importance of local seeds and native wildflowers, but one of our old HLS sites has likely lost its status because a NVC survey showed the dominating wildflowers were now non-native, and non supporting of the notable fritillaries.

That's some big hazard pay right there. Thinking about it, the guy was from Stirling originally so maybe that’s it. He travelled too far west. I’m not even from Glasgow, I’m from Paisley, an altogether shittier yet more laughable place.

Waitrose is okay, it's just a supermarket, sure it's slightly more expensive than Aldi/Lidl/Asda but I don't get all the booj image it has, it's literally Tesco just slightly more upscale It's not like they sell goddamn gold-plated ravioli and megalol at the "Waitrose effect" being a thing in real life, people are stupid
