What is this flag, other than a striated version of the modern German flag?

Ironic that this got you banned in c/Europe

A DP with a two stroke? Damn

You have given my husband a new headache, I thank you dearly

And NAACP is still around, even with a name that was offensive 40 years ago, because a) it’s clearly not intended to offend; and b) the name recognition is incredibly helpful: I hear NAACP, I think W.E.B. DuBois and Thurgood Marshall.

Maybe check out alarm clocks for deaf people, they make some that work on scent

If there’s one time you know you’re definitely not going to be cannibalized by observant Jews, it’s Passover.

Yeah, I was just expecting Dame, because of “lady” in English and “dame” in French. I didn’t realize it would be under Frau.

My dumb ass has (with C2 German) never made the connection to Mary with things like frauenberg. I’ve just been like “yes, womens mountain makes sense, perfect.”

I mean, me too! At least apparently nobody else can smell it

It’s the only sense of mine that’s at all good, so that probably has something to do with it

Yeah, I probably only noticed it in others because my sister and I shared clothing growing up and she is also an anxiety-ridden mess

Yeah, it smells like battery acid to me. It’s fucking wild if birds use the same chemical signals as we do

You got me down a rabbit hole, but it’s now been officially supported that people subconsciously react to smells, so I’m really curious if more people can train themselves to smell it.

Maybe check it out next time, if you have a good sense of smell. Apparently it’s something people react to subconsciously, so I wonder if it can be trained.

Can you smell it on yourself? Like, do you find that your sweaty clothes smell the same after a run and, say, a presentation (or something else that gives you anxiety/scares you)? I think it’s most noticeable with my own sweat, but fear/anxiety sweat smells bad to me in a way that normal body odor or exercise sweat don’t.

Sex sweat also smells very different, but that’s normally more pleasant to me than the others. I haven’t noticed a specific smell of aggression or any other kind of sweat though.

Edit: I think you’re right that “smelling fear” is metaphoric, but I did not realize that until I started talking about it.

I was telling an ex about smelling my coworker’s fear all day. He had a crush on me (it was a call center, so not an especially professional environment), and we had to share my cubicle for training, and he was just pouring out anxiety sweat. My ex had no idea what the fuck I was talking about and I’ve never met someone else who can identify the emotions that a person has by their sweat.

Saying someone “can smell fear” is a normal thing that comes up a lot in media, so I assumed it was also normal to notice. Apparently not. I’ll take all of the help my autistic ass can get in iding others’ emotions though

It’s weird to see you two interact. I see both of your usernames around on here and just group them together because they both start with hu- names and form homophones for words/phrases.

Gimli asked for a lady’s hair

Or coconut and honey. I’m sure that’s in some candy or cookie I’ve had at some point
