So much so that our immigrant population refers to Germans as “Kartoffeln” (potatoes)

Yeah, but that’s not a rail problem, that’s a Deutsche Bahn problem.
Enkrod@feddit.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there a song in a foreign language you like the melody to but didnt know the lyrics?1·13 days agoI don’t speak Spanish, but when I heard Colores by Ska-P (“Por la libertad es fundamental la diversidad”) I was instantly in love. The music is great and the lyrics seemed straight up fire.
Then I translated their songs and now they are my second favourite band, after RATM.
A Chitón - On repression and censorship in the name of security
El Vals del Obrero - The Workers Waltz, on unity of the working class
Enkrod@feddit.orgtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•I had a neighbour who embalmed his own wife.English5·14 days agoI kicked a decrepit german shepard to death.
WHY?!
Wasn’t my fault really, the owner had trained his dog to be aggressive and I was deathly afraid of dogs. The animal escaped the leash and charged me, I don’t know if it would have bitten me, but I instinctively kicked it in the face… I’m an extremely overweight guy and was scared shitless, that’s propably why my leg had some serious power behind it, so I kicked that poor puppies snout straight into its braincase.
Still have nightmares of that day. Good news is: I have sinced learned to be less afraid and love dogs now. I even regularly put my hand down the throat of a huge japanese Akita Inu who loves me to death and pull on his teeth in play.
Oh goodness, 24 years ago I was uninformed, narrowminded and had been brought up sheltered and rather conservative. So I used to be hugely trans- and homophobic. I wasn’t actively hurting or confronting anyone, but I was definitely a big part of the problem.
It actually was webcomics that deprogrammed me. That showed me a world I simply did not know but quickly felt empathy for. Those were normal, lovely people who simply existed differently from me, they weren’t a threat and they had so many struggles pushed on them only for being different.
Today I’m far-left, progressive, super empathetic, happy that a lesbian friend calls me “one of the good ones” and that I, as a huuuuuge white cis guy, can be an ally and create a safe space around me for everyone who needs it.

Yes, in that stereotype being worldly and educated is presented as foreign, urban, sinful, often depraved and in contrast to the supposed “purity” of small-town innocence and virginity. Remember that these stereotypes originated in the 1950s and are mostly the result of puritan, white, middle class, anglo-saxon, protestant worldviews. It’s the reason that so many villains in american movies (among others Shere Khan, Jafar and Scar) have british accents, while the heroes (like Aladdin) talk with a midwestern accent.

Heh, you know, “kink” as in a “bend”, a “kink”, a “wrinkle” in ones sexuality. So it’s not straight with a kink in it ;)
