But if we provide a translation for the mods, then I don't understand why I just can't do so.

If you'll translate everything anyway, why use another language in the first place?

What is the actual song being played in this site?

It's been driving me crazy trying to figure out the actual song used!

The song is called "Eins Zwei Polizei", the artist is Modo (or Mo-do), I believe.
 
I know this isn't a question, but I had to post it somewhere.

Well, I've calculated on this a bit.

If we have 24 hours a day and 60 minutes per hour, and considering the 30-second spam preventer which is incorporated in here, you can post 2,880 times a day. Considering a player who has been in here for 5 years until now, we have 29 days for 2 Februaries, 28 days for 3 Febs, 30 days for 4 Aprils, 4 Junes, 4 Septembers and 4 Novembers with 30 days. Also you must take account of the 5x31 Januaries, 4 Marches and 9 days, 4 Julies, 4 Augusts, 4 Octobers and 4 Decembers. That means we have a total of 2,837 days to play with (I think).

That means that you could post a total of 8,170,560 posts in five years.

Yeah, that should make even Perfy pale.
 
Does this mean anything to anyone, in particular German speakers:

Grizzitschnuckipickerinstickerinsticker

There's some German in there ... Schnucki is a term of affection like sweetie, a Sticker is, well, a sticker (stickerinsticker is either the female Stickerin followed by the male Sticker (that's a theoretical female form though, Sticker ins't female in German), or like in English sticker in sticker) ... Picker sounds German but doesn't really have any meaning, and Grizzit and that long term on the whole seem like nonsense words to me.

Edit: Oh, sticken also means to stitch or embroider, so a Sticker and a Stickerin could be people who do that ... but I doubt that's meant here, as I said, it seems like a nonsense term on the whole.

Yeah, I thought it was nonsense too. I was thinking it was a proper noun, actually. Like from a story. I got the term from the MUD Thunderdome.
 
Does Israel have a Nazi party?

Just curious. I think ofc not, but it could be...
 
What bias, if any, does the Washington Post have?

Their editorial pages are mostly left of center and as for the hard stories, well, they do seem to screw up less than the NY Times has as of late. I read the paper sometimes, FWIW. Used to grab copies of it at this one newsstand on Fulton Street if I was there early enough, but since I'm only there at nights these days, I'd have to read it online.

It's not a word that you would encounter in any normal conversation. One part at least is nonsense or a name (Grizzit, again not a real person's name), and the whole is nonsense. If it makes any sense, then only in the narrow specific context it was created for I'd say. That might be some kind of fantasy story or fairytale, but to me it sounds too modern to be from any classic tale.

And while German has a tendency towards compound words, this one's too exaggerated to be real or very serious.
 
The Post's sports pages are terribly biased in favor of one high school in the area. The only reason I pick up the Washington Times, if ever.

Who?

I've noticed they're awfully sympathetic to Maryland. WHERE IS THE LOVE FOR MAH EAGLES!!

You have too much time on your hands.
 
Ah dammit, I never thought I'd come here for woman help, but even after asking friends I feel compelled to ask here.
Ok, I've known this girl for awhile, but we hung out for the first time alone a few days ago and ended up making out and all that fun stuff (go me). Now that sounds awesome, but the problem is, close friends, very close friends, one of whom I'd consider my female bestfriend, hate her. I've only asked people who don't know her what they'd do, but if these people found out, I get the feeling they'd kill me. Now this girl is hot, like a lot, but I don't really have feelings for her, at least not to an a far extant, largely because of what those friends think of her, but I'd like to, ya know, be with her a little longer and see how things 'turn out'. Ok? But the dilemma here is, should I? Another problem being I am also friends with her friends who aren't hated by my other friends (yea..). Finally, she's been with a few guys before, not alot, but still she isn't going to be the poster child for a church anytime soon. What do I do? Do I just drop it? Do I do what I need to do to get what I want? Do I actually persue a relationship?
Dammit all, its been eating me for some time now, and I do feel hooked on her, and I haven't had a girl in a while, so I feel I've finally fell into being desperate (but considering how desperate goes, I think I've gotten one that's pretty good). And god... yeah, I've had this feeling in my stomach that I can't shake unless I'm really having fun and can't focus on it. The hell... Oh, and no, it ain't love, at least thats what I think. AND my conscience doesn't let me be a jerk. I kind of hate myself, and there is the possibility I've ruined the whole situation somehow (IDK how, but I have the amazing capability to destroy good things without even trying. Its a gift/curse). Dammit. Thoughts?

And if you actually read this, thank you, and feel free to ridicule/scoff/whatever me.


...and I haven't slept or eaten much, so I'm thinking there might be more to this. Kill me?
 
First you need to decide if she's worth it without taking into consideration what your friends think at all. Once you've made your decision and if you want to give it a go, a good way to avoid the blowback would be to just thrust it on them with her by your side.

This might sound overly bold, but if you gently raise it they might well get very negative and say things that will make it difficult maintain your friendship and your relationship at the same time. If they don't get this opportunity and they see first hand that the relationship is for real, they'll realise that they're going to have to bite their tongues, or at least approach the subject carefully.

Good friends don't speak ill of their mates girlfriends, but if they think they have an opportunity to speak their minds while they think it's still safe they might well do it. Don't give them a chance.
 
There was an Nazi cell there a while ago, theyve been rounded up now and one can only imagine the time they will have in an Israelis jail. they were all Russian IIRC, but all were of Jewish descent. But as for a legal, openly Nazi party? Use your brain

I'm thinking that you should forget about friends or girlfriends, and take care of yourself.

But once that's done, your friends should be your friends because they like you. If the girl really is hateful, you'll find out soon enough and they can say 'I told you so'. But see what she's like first. Girls hate each other for ridiculous reasons, ranging from 'she's pretty', through 'she got a man I vaguely fancied' to 'she's made my life a living hell'. The reasons aren't always ones worth worrying about.
 
Well damn me, but I saw her again tonight and I felt good again, so I'm going to give this a shot, I'll see how it goes.

If it develops into a relationship I think I'll have to do just that.
