The noun that describes a person or thing from a place is a "demonym". American, Michigander, Californian, New Yorker...

  • Moscow: a Muscovite
  • Versailles: a Versaillais (pronounced "ver-sah-yeah")

it's on the wikipedia page of most places

kudos for posting an uncensored "fucking"!

Baptized catholic by my parents, did all the ritual things all my youth until i was 16. Then i was old enough to try to understand it, got exposed to other schools of thought, and it all collapsed like a house of cards.

I am now fully atheist, and I find religion ridiculous, like fairy tales for adults, based on nothing. Organized religions are also usually structures of power for men. This can all go.

My spirituality would be:

We are made of star-stuff. Temporary piles of molecules which work together and stop after a while, to recombine into something new. I don't need to be remembered, I don't need to leave my mark. Just try to do no harm, any maybe help others along the way, while on this ball of rock and water, tumbling into the immensely empty void.

i saw that, what a ridiculous set of arguments. You can't boycott fast food restaurants otherwise all these wonderful jobs at minimum wage will disappear!

Do it! I dare you to do it!

The fastest I drove was 262 km/h on the German highway (which has sections without a speed limit). At this speed, you have to watch as far as you can, because a car on the left lane overtaking other lanes will usually be at most 180 km/h there, so you have to be prepared to slow down a very long time in advance.

300 km/h is just dangerous, you have to be fully concentrated to adapt to the other drivers and it leaves a very thin margin to react (if any), should something happen. You definitely put your life and the one from others around you one the line doing that.

My experience wasn't particularly pleasant, but it was nice to feel once how the car behaves at its maximum rated speed. I haven't done it again. But I'll regularly drive above 160 km/h to just go with the flow.

jopp waren sie (wir) vor dem 2. Weltkrieg, Spanien auch. Die besetzte Hälfte von Frankreich wurde von den Nazis anfang 1940 zur Berlin Zeitzone verlegt und im Mai 1941 hat die Vichy Regierung der freien Zone sich ebenso angepasst. Seitdem sind Frankreich und Deutschland in der selben Zeitzone.

ich muss halt werbung akzeptieren und auf meine privatsphäre verzichten um die seite abrufen zu können
