      German here: it’s absolutely disgusting how these people voted to kill the birds. Pigeons used to be pets. They were bred to lay many eggs and deliver mail. Pigeons can’t survive without humans. Just like most dogs and cats suffer immensely when abandoned. And we have abandoned pigeons. They’re starving, suffering from anti-bird architecture and are constantly caring for their young. They are sick, injured and on their own. Some towns in Germany have opted to feed the pigeons regularly, they exchange the eggs with fake ones to control the population and build safe dovecotes which are maintained and cared for. That’s the way. That’s the only way to take care of the pigeon population

    The whole "men with guns are happier about their penises" statistic is somewhat flawed.. Because I am PRETTY SURE that men with lambos also feel better about their penises.. Because they just bought a massively expensive vehicle to COMPENSATE FOR THEIR INADEQUACIES... If you feel WORSE about your dingdong after stockpiling arms or buying a lambo, that was a bad purchase.
    Would I feel better about myself if I had a lot of guns? Nah.
    Would I feel better about myself rolling around in a lambo? Hard to say, but I'm pretty sure I'd be thinking less about my penis when I have something else to play with.
    The study I want to see is a study of people's confidence before and after they bought weapons. Having access to arms wouldn't do me much because I'm a hardcore fricken badass (..) but for a frail loser, having guns will feel extremely empowering. Of course they would feel less bad about their weaknesses, they have a shotgun to override most of their anxiety.. With anxiety comes a crack in confidence.. You remove that anxiety and you got yourself a sense of confidence that starts building.
    Scared people feel bad about themselves. Buy a gun, feel less bad.
    Don't buy a gun though, if you feel bad a lot, that's more likely to be an off switch for yourself during dark times than something that keeps you safe.

      @@simonalbrecht9435As usual: One's anglo-saxon (dove) and one was brought over in 1066 (pigeon). I'm a German myself and did some research to clear up the difference. Pigeons are the normal, everyday city polluters or the ones bred in Kleintierzüchtervereinen, whatever the word for those is in English. Doves are the smaller, wild varieties living in woods and other parts of the world, plus it's used whenever positive emotions come in such as love or peace.
      It occurs frequently: If you have two words meaning the same thing, find some way of grouping the things in question into two groups and use the two words to differentiate between them. Another example of that is the fact that English has two words for "Kürbis": pumpkin and squash. Biologically more or less the same, but I've seen an English speaker get puzzled when reading a recipe translated from Italian (which also only has got one word for the thing) to English that said "pumpkin" for some variety that was a "squash".

    The pidgeon-joke hit home here, literally: Just read an article that officials provided a new pidgeon-extermination-plan in my German hometown. It's a different one than Limburg's, though. "We" will install huge pidgeon-housing (for the pidgeons we DON'T want) to lure them in so they nest there. After they lay their eggs, someone will climb in there and exchange the real eggs with false ones (and presumably freeze the real eggs or dispose off them in some humane (?) way). That will slim down the population in the mid to long run. There will still be some pidgeons of course, as not all of them will use the proivded housing. They seemingly just faced the problem of lacking space to build the pidegon-towers or however they call them, and ASKED CITIZENS IF THEY ALLOW THEM TO BUILD THE PIDGEON-VILLAS ON THEIR PRIVATE GROUNDS (please keep in mind, this is a small country and our gardens or backyards usually, if there even is one, are tiny compared to backyards in some parts of the US). "Sure, build a house for dozens of flying rats that will spraypaint my home with their poop, and then here are my keys so you can come any time you like to inspect the egg-situation." I didn't even make that up. That's the way to go for my homies, I'm sure there is a reason for this particular approach to the situation (but none was given in the text I've just read). I guess the guy consulting my home town's polticians wasn't Gunther but Norbert.

    Y'know, the reason pigeons do so well in our cities is that they're feral, not wild. Those are the descendants of domesticated animals, meaning that they've got a severely diminished fear response. We just kicked them out when we didn't want them anymore, but because human settlements drive out most of the things that would prey on them, that lack of fear lets them operate more freely in our cities without, y'know, getting them killed constantly as it would in a wild space.

    The liberty something or other flavor tastes like the old blue and red ICEE mixed together. Super nostalgic, I recommend it but only once because soda is the devil

    I know I'll (probably for the better), never get to taste any of those new flavours because, outside a chance of a foreign foods store having them, we here in Australia don’t tend to get America themed foods.
    It's one of the reasons I rarely get to enjoy what has honestly become my favourite instant mac and cheese, the Cheetoa Bold and Cheesy.
    As for the men being happy with penis size means they're more likely to own a gun, I've a disability (brain injury from childhood), so I wouldn't be allowed to own a gun, even if I wanted one

    The B-52’s are annoyed that they didn’t go with the ‘Spackle Shack of News’ but chose ‘Love Shack’ instead…

    I live in that German town where it is planned to kill the pigeons. No one likes them, but killing them seems a bit too much. The city made that decision, and the people needed a majority vote to revoke that decision. Without success... Now they talk about a lawsuit. It's not over yet... But at least we made it to the Late Show! 🙂

    I read that as "Gymboree Gun Foundry." Which is even more accurate.

    For July 4th, freeze those Mountain Dew flavors into ice cubes and float red, white and blue cubes in gin and tonic. Take that, England.
