The title is actually accurate, those are crazy trains. I love the Hello Kitty one

I think most countries with their own sesame street have slightly different characters. We don't have big bird, we have the superior Pino.

Around 2004 we had some people over for a card game night. We were all sitting on our house's big terrace, where we had also put this type of lamp. The terrace was open to the outside and the lamp attracted a large amount of bugs, which would burn and start to smell, the same smell you are remembering.

To stop this from happening, my brother decided to put a kind of glass plate on top of the lamp as a cover. Initially this worked great and the smell was gone.

10 minutes later, the glass had gotten so hot that it exploded violently, shooting shards of glass all across the terrace. It was a lesson learned.

I live in the Netherlands and I buy fresh produce four or five times a week. Freshness wise it depends on the fruit or vegetable. I wouldn't say most things only last two days but it's not like it's gonna last ages, especially after it's been opened/started.

Yeah that's right. In fact I'm gonna head over to my home gym now to recreate this OK Go music video with my siblings.

The vast majority of places don't have zwarte Piet anymore. My young nieces don't even know who that is, they only know him as Piet. Why repeat this shit about zwarte Piet when it's fading away?

Plenty of evidence that physical activity is healthy though. Not disputing the 10,000 steps being made up but absolutely a good thing to regularly go for a walk.

As a happy user, I highly appreciate the ongoing development!

So by that logic as long as a candidate doesn't support the "practices that put us in this decadence" they are good enough to vote for?

If this guy would be in favor of rounding up all gay people and shooting them, would you still vote for him? What about making it illegal for women to do paid work? What about shutting down all newspapers? If he proposed those things, would you still think he's the best candidate?

If not, then where is your line? Because to me he already seems pretty fucking extreme.

You can also not vote or cast a voto en blanco as a protest. Why not do that instead of vote for a Trump / Bolsonaro type person? Do you think they were successful presidents who made things better in the US / Brazil?

I wonder what the players and coaching staff think... and their female partners and daughters.

Obviously also men should not want this guy as their colleague, but like these protests show women probably care more.

Ten Hag is married to a woman and has two daughters. Only being supportive of women because you have daughters is stupid, but I do wonder about the conversations they might have.

I would absolutely talk to my husband / father in this situation. And what could Ten Hag say exactly? Morally he has no leg to stand on, for Man United it's purely a financial decision. Greenwood represents a certain value and the club doesn't want to give that up. Ten Hag could make his value for ManU zero by announcing he does not want rapists in his squad and will never play him. The fact he hasn't is really disappointing.

How can you face your wife and daughters while defending a rapist and abuser? I don't know how those two can ever be compatible and I would lose so much respect for anyone who does.
