OFM, I must be the world's fattest crackhead if I am indeed one, as you claim. But really, Pence did a lot more for the hurricane recovery than Donny Two Scoops.

Go on, have a pop at explaining why you think I'm right wing, using actual things that I have said and positions that I have taken, rather than voices in your head, and then I'll have a good time dismantling you right here so badly that you won't be able to show your face for a while.

General Apathy.

Or have we established that already? I've missed a few pp

Americans think the sexiest languages in the world are…German and Dutch...

Maybe it's me, but I don't equate the Germanic languages with sexiness, kinky stiff aside...

Stereotypes about languages and the people who speak them abound: French is romantic, Italian lyrical, Spanish passionate. But those languages didn’t come out on top in an analysis of dating behavior in the US that found the ability to speak a second language other than English appears to make people vastly more attractive to the opposite sex—and also that your second tongue of choice matters.

The dating site PlentyOfFish analyzed 50 million messages sent on their platform in January 2017, and surveyed 325 of their users in the US. The data found that women were most attracted to men who speak German as a second language. For men, it was women who could speak Dutch.

Single men were 73% more likely to send a message to a woman who said she could speak a second language, the research found, while women were 63% more likely to start a conversation with a bilingual than a non-bilingual man. PlentyOfFish advertizes itself as the world’s largest dating site, and has more than 90 million users worldwide. This study only looked at a portion of the US user base.

Michael McDermott, a data scientist at the company who collated the research, said in an email that there were some correlations between being bilingual and other traits that had been found to make people successful on the site. People who listed a second language on their profile were more likely to fill out more information on their profiles generally, and to be more willing to share information about themselves.

More anecdotally, McDermott also noted: “Like having an accent, having a second language can be seen as sexy, worldly. It is also an indicator of higher education.” Recent research from another dating site, OKCupid, also found that women who said they found education attractive were more likely to find a partner on its platform.

Here are the full results from PlentyOfFish’s language study:

Bilingual men were most likely to receive messages if their second language was…

1.German
2.Swedish
3.Dutch
4.Norwegian
5.Italian
6.Portuguese
7.French
8.Japanese
9.Arabic
10.Russian

Bilingual women were most likely to receive messages if their second language was…

Yep, that's why Trump needed the do over.

I once heard a radio commercial for one of the local "slip and fall" lawyers.
It was an emotional woman who told the radio audience that the lawyer "sat down and cried with me".
My immediate thought was that Attorney Hamilton buzzed Claire. "Claire? Could you please come in and cry with Mrs Quinn?"
Good Lord. The first trip was business. I was on a site last night that showed him embracing the full spectrum of victims, age and race. Empathy up the wazoo. And that's the picture you show if Trump.
You anti Trump crackheads are so programmed to find fault with EVERYTHING, you even bitch that he exhales more CO2 than a 105 lb "woman of color". You're hopeless.
The only reason I come here is to get my daily dose of outrage.
I can't speak for JJ.
I am now waiting for St Mac to accuse me of wanting to dump the poor out of helicopters over the Gulf, based on what I just wrote.

Nope, John. You're just a run-of-the-mill has-been white male worker who drank the self-made-man koolaid, then got cornholed by capitalism and is now looking for someone to blame it on.

I don't think you'd toss people out of helicopters. I just think you'd happily LET other people do it for you and make apologies for them as they did it. ("They were illegal immigrants and thus criminals! If they'd done nothing wrong, they'd've never been in that helicopter in the first place!")

But rest asured, we wouldn't toss YOU out of a helicopter. That is what right-wing CIA-trained death squads do. If it were ever necessary, we'd just put a bullet in your head. But you'd more likely just be shipped off to a re-education camp.

I can't say I ever thought of Dutch as sexy. Is it because they figure Dutch people are all free-love hippies maybe?

So the government is considering "stopping any trade with countries that trade with North Korea".

That's... what?

I....what?

No, St Mac. I know each and every stupid mistake I made along the way that put me where I am. I have nobody to blame but myself.

But don't let that stop you from sneering at the American working class. It's the one thing you are very good at. Gosh darn it, you're so good at ... sneering. That and attacking straw men, and things you know people said but really didn't.
One positive thing about actually joining this dumpster fire of a site is that I could put you on Ignore. But you're not worth the bother.
