Xander ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
On a totally different note, here's a new ways to get chores done that may be relevant to Buffista interests: [link]
Fun! Could we maybe make a team for those of us without other members of our households? (Also, I just said "relevant to your interests" to a coworker today...)
Shitty, shitty stuff.
Indeed.
Steph, I tried but probably failed to express what he said to me in a way that made clear he was not tarring all folks with German heritage in the Cincy area, or indeed the US. What he told me (and he was German-American himself) was that there was a lot of racism in the Cincy German-American community and, at least back in the day, a lot of Nazi sympathy. But he was telling me this back in the '80s so maybe things have changed or maybe his native Cincy take on things was not in line with reality. I guess what I should say was that hearing that from him gave me a different impression of Cincinnatti and the surrounding area of Ohio/Kentucky than I'd had before.

I don't see why not! And you can create different characters to belong to different parties.
Question for the hivemind:
"everyday life" or "daily life"?
I prefer "daily life".
Depends. I like "everyday" for something, well, every day, but if it were a resume or something, I'd pick "daily" A gut reaction, though.
"la vie quotidienne"
"la vie quotidienne"
Actually the chapter title is "la vita di tutti i giorni," which has been translated as "everyday life" but I think I would describe it as a chapter about daily life.

Well, there sure is racism in the Nati, but it doesn't seem dependent on one's roots. As for sympathizing with the Nazis, I do know that a shitton of city streets that originally had German names were re-named toward the end (or just after) WWII. So, at least outwardly, there was no love for the Nazis.

In the case of Berlin, Ga., they just changed the pronunciation from accenting the second syllable to accenting the first.
