Could one of the German posters make a pun using the word Kaiser?
Kaiserich momentum? It's the phonetic spelling of the Rhenian pronunciation of 'sort-of-emperor-like-but-not-really'. Yes, we have a word for that.

The Rabinovich ones I knew from TVTropes, some of the Ukrainian ones I knew from TVTropes but told about Russians - but that last one is genius!

Spoiler: is of Polish patriot (click to show/hide)

Oh, and also we breed like crazy so a few of us getting snuffed is no big deal in the grand scheme of things. And we have this weird thing where we get pissed even if you make trouble for someone relatively unrelated - someone who happens to live in the same area, or whose ancestors did something for our ancestors a couple centuries ago, for example - that pissing off even a single one of us can get you into a huge amount of trouble. Doubly so because we tend to carry grudges for a long time and have a surprising tendency to fight with irrational persistence and dedication, even including a willingness for self-sacrifice.

We're scary-ass motherfuckers, is what I'm saying.

How in Satan's glorious name can the average student of your university afford a car? It's something rather unusual around these parts.

Humans aren't fragile at all. I'd start going into details on what deformations, injuries, and general trauma we're able to withstand and recover from, but I don't want to make people throw up and/or lose faith in humanity once and for all.

But look at this, for example. One note though: What they call 'pursuit predation' really is called 'persistence hunting'.

The fact that they're embarrassed by it is society's fault
The thing is that this argument applies one-to-one to conventional kiddie porn.

I'd like to recommend 'Dope'. It avoids sooo many clichés, but touches on them in delightful ways!
Also it's interesting race-dynamics-wise. America, your school system really does suck.

The mouth of a river, right? Else I'd start wondering how the Amazon became so cold all of a sudden.

Which I still don't fathom. It's not like he's running against Obama or Booker, or anyone that's actually....y'know...BLACK.
Ol' Bill is rather popular with that demographic, isn't he? That's a huge advantage Hilly has over Sanders.

Only thing now is that my beard is starting to show a lot more grey.  :-\
Hey, grey beards are awesome!

Note: I'm currently imagining you as Lebowski, complete with bathrobe and White Russian.

Interesting: Apparently Trump is the most efficient candidate money-wise...

Plattdeutsch is what they (traditionally) speak in Lower Saxony. It's basically unintelligible to a standard High German speaker - my mom speaks it perfectly, and I've grown up being exposed to it rather regularly, but I can at most understand two thirds. It's a form of Low German, and thus rather close to Dutch - hence my comment.

Here's the plattdeutsche wiki article on Plattdeutsch. Let me know how much you understand!

I do like #HillYes though. It's energizing, something you can shout.
