I imagine the same reason so many Americans think of the UK as just London, or France as just Paris. I don't know what that reason is, but I imagine it's probably the same reason.

Honestly I can't get Wiltshire out of my head. Rhotal rs? What? They sound like they're from New England until they say something that makes my brain twist. I love it.

That's not true America is Texas, Florida (if it involves alligators or trans-hatred), California, Las Vegas and New York. Everything else is irrelevant.

Massachusetts is literally the most significant state. It's a forest with health care. We're basically elves.

Hmmm idk about that Vermont is much closer to being elves than any part of Mass I've ever seen

To contain, include, incorporate. To abstain really doesn't make sense in this context. That abstain meaning I think uses the "return to natural state" meaning of ent- (number 1). Think "unhold" in the sense of "cease to hold a position", that's "to abstain", the contain one... I'm not 100% but I think it's number 6: A thing is furnished such that the adjective becomes true. The cookie is enholden with chocolate chips.

karamellsirus is a misspelling, Karamellsirup should be obvious. crunshies, too, is a misspelt crunchies. Only one that shouldn't be recognisable is Regenbogenstreusel, rainbow sprinkles. Like on doughnuts.

The reflexive form "sich enthalten" means to abstain, without the reflexive pronoun it always means "to contain"

On retrospective that's pretty damn obvious.

Casual bigotry, truly wonderful.

Just wait until I bring my professional bigotry.

[–] Maultasche@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

That's nothing against my ranked competitive bigotry.

Uh, excuse me. We call ourselves "Americans", not "fat people". Thank you
