Definitely. Deserts can have incredible biodiversity. A lot of species of cactus, sedges, euphorbia, composite flowers, wrens, songbirds, the list goes on.
Barren deserts probably are so destitute and lacking in humidity that practically nothing can grow there.
I find Germans have an easier time replying to things very frankly and without garnishment or humor. I can ask a German, “How are you?”, and he may reply with “I’m fine” and it can be taken at face value.
Americans tend to be more, I don’t know, conflict avoidant in their replies? There’s more expectation of subtext, of irony, and it’s not as typical to take “I’m fine” at face value.
“Can’t complain” is another good one. It’s often heard as, “I can’t complain [because nobody would listen anyway]”. Tone is important, as is environmental context. Blue collar workers at the site say this, yeah their day is going to shit. Your buddy says it over drinks, maybe he’s having a neutral, normal time of life, or maybe his life is going to shit and he’s giving the ironic answer to avoid diving into his real issues, while still communicating that things are not perfect.
Last week I was asked how my day was. It had been a perfectly normal, decent day, good time at work, beautiful weather, and my reply was “Life’s a peach”. I got back, “That bad, huh?” Yeah, the American habit of taking genuine expression and searching for a darkness under it can be tiring sometimes.
We will dive into the history of this franchise, but fir—
The franchise began in 1967, when…
Me:
You lost me at the vegetable oil
Yeah same, I got ones that smell like Shea butter, they’re pretty nice. I mean if the store had other ones branded differently with the same wipes I would just buy those lol. I feel like the only ones triggered by the imagery are ironically the guys who are insecure in their masculinity and feel threatened by a literal moist toilette.
I have Dude Wipes in my car but that’s just because I thought they smelled good and they were on sale at Kroger. I have a very dirty and dusty job and some days I gotta wipe the gruel off after a shift.
I appreciate your cheekiness, sir
Clitorinthians rolls better
I remember staying at this wonderful couple’s BnB in Northern Michigan and they had a claw-foot standing bathtub, that thing was incredible. So spacious
I learned how to hand mince and it works so well
I always take a bite of fresh garlic when I prep it, I love the spiciness

“Oh for just one time, I would take the Northwest Passage…”
I imagine that the carbon offset caused by a billionaire no longer existing would outweigh most “dirty” forms of death
Oh I’m sure it isn’t, I’m just quoting Dodgeball haha
Sure, I drink my own piss. It’s sterile, and I like the taste.
I’m generally great at traversing my house quietly, unless my fiance or child are asleep, and then I’m a fucking cave beast making as much noise as humanly possible, seemingly.
We noticed you liked that tree. Would you like to see it again in 45 minutes?
