Two tired mice in a pail of milk, They swam around as best they could. But hope began to fade - what should they do? One wanted to drown itself, But its friend said, "No, no, no, For hope only triumphs, maybe, As long as we keep searching for it. Keep searching for it.
A mini heart attack was the only thing that could get me up in the morning in my teenage years.
I used this song as my alarm clock https://youtu.be/E2WyDq0-5aY
The first 5 seconds gets you and then besides that it is a pretty good song.
Yes, you’re right and to my knowledge there isn’t anything similar to the “no cow on the ice” in the English language.
Well, Wiktionary translated it to “the coast is clear”.
Originally it was “No cow on the ice, as long as its butt is on dry land”.
My issue is that I would often start on something like “like peas in a pod” but directly translated Danish, which wouldn’t be something people would say.
I saw a floating dick with two penis rings on it. But I guess that depends on what’s on your mind.
The worst part for me is mixing sayings and the construction of sentences. I’ve never been that good at English grammar, but after using English more and more, my grammar in my native language have gotten worse. I’m half way in a sentence, in my native language, before I notice I’ve started on an English saying, but directly translated to my native language and it makes no sense. But, there’s no cow on the ice, as you say, because my wife and I are like pots and pans, as you also say; we are the same way.
And We Found Love.
Also Moves Like Jagger, but that somehow feels like it’s… Decades… Ago… Aww. So old suddenly.
I’m still quite new to Lemmy. I still don’t quite get how it all works, haha. I’m using the Thunder app (don’t ask me why), and when I go to settings it’s the second option I’m presented with. Then you just add keywords for the things you’d like to filter out.
My cat is better at barking than you are :-)
Also, my dad can beat up your dad, or something like that.
Not that I’m aware of. Go nuts.
Would you like to share how you think i could become part of the solution?
According to the graph I posted, it actually seems like 2005 was the calmest year since 1946.
The year of Call Me Maybe. I get why you would you choose that.
You are not wrong. In this graph it seems like 2002 - 2012 was the calmest period in a very long time.

Edit:
Actually kind of an interesting graph. Seems like there is a pattern of 10 years of conflict and tension and then a either a hold or another 10 years with a calm period.
Our cat is as dangerous and brave as Toulouse and also never grew bigger than kitten size.
She’s have always been an indoor cat. We don’t believe she would last long outside on her own, with her two functioning brain cells.
It’s all good points! Seems like I won’t run out of things to read here. Thanks, I really appreciate it.
Our cat is not much into catching mice. We once lived in an allotment house, which is mostly a shed. We once had a mouse in our bedroom, and we had to wake up the cat. We placed her near the mouse, so she could see it. She just lied down and continued to sleep.
It’s primarily Linux posts that’s left haha. Luckily, I don’t mind that, as I have recently started using Linux again.
Thanks! And thank you for a civil discussion. I will at some point look it up. If you have some resources you could recommend, that would be nice. I guess there a lot of good but also bad readings on the subject out there.
I’ve volunteered a lot before I got kids, where I was mentoring children of refugees. But having two kids under the age of 5 is a full time job beside my full time job, so currently there’s not many hours left of the day to do volunteering.
But I do still try to do small things here and there to improve the world around me.
I believe not reading news is what got us here. Too many have given up and don’t take a stance, which allows the situation to just get worse and worse.
But, I also stopped reading news. I stopped the day Trump won the election. The world is a shit show and I won’t allow my mood to get dragged down every day. I have a family and kids and I want them to have a good life and a fun dad to be around.
If things like what happens with the ICE raids are happening, the Epstein files, dictatorship suddenly threatens everything I’m not burying my head in the sand, but I want to dose the amount of news I consume.
Haha I can see that that would have worked as well. Not a bad way to start the day.
