Was is deine problem? Ich sprechen das Englische sehr wunderbar, ja?
..I may have just revealed how rusty my German is :L

Mais je parle les Anglais tres clairement. Je ne comprend pas nous problème.
My French is kind of out of practice too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Netter Versuch! Nice Try, CG. (What's your problem? My spoken English is wonderful, isn't it?)
Your spoken German is sweet, understandable with a little potential of making us say "how cute". :)

Someone said "He's absolutely lovely, he just needs to calm down" ... about me. First, I am NOT lovely ... ahhhh. Second, I am calm. I am completely fucking calm! Why do people think I'm not calm. Okay, they may have a point. I'm still not lovey. What does that mean in British speak anyway? Why am I surrounded by British people?

*This was by someone at work, who is out of our England office.
I say lovely all the time. Sorry. And I say sorry all the time too. Sorry! BTW, lovely IS good. If a British person says that it's not sarcastic, it really does mean you are a person they think has good qualities. I was going to say 'nice' but in British speak that can go both ways, good and bad :D

i still don't get it how stretch marks occur during weigh loss. you're losing weight, your skin is not stretching, so why the stretch mark, the internet has no direct/clear answer.
I think they only appear during weight gain and growth but since the skin is well stretched, you cannot see them. Then when you lose weight, the skin doesn't repair itself and they become visible :)

as a person with stretchmarks who got them through rapid growth and weight gain, i don't think so, stretch marks appear as your skin stretches specially when the skin lacks collagen and reaches it's limit. So as you gain weight/become pregnant/grow fast the stretch marks do show, and you do see them. they don't appear as you lose weight. and they stay visible even when you lose weight, the do change in color as they age/fades but never completely disappears unless you get them lasered. what i dont get is why do they claim you can get stretchmarks or more of it if you lose weight when your skin isn't stretching anymore.

Yes of course you can see them (I see mine ;)), but how I understood it is that some of them become visible only when you lose weight if the skin doesn't repair itself (for the reason you said), but they were still made during weight gain/growth... That's what an aesthetician told me, that it's unavoidable and you can only make them less visible with some methods.

i still don't get it, where does it hide before it shows itself as you lose weight...and if you're skin is not stretching, why do u still get them as lose the fat because the skin can't revert back but it's definitely not stretching anymore

hmm I don't know, I think of skin as an elastic. If it's stretched, I guess only the worst marks show up but once you loosen it up the smaller damages can be seen as well. Sorry if I didn't help :D

haven't felt hunger at all... feeling this itch where my stetchmarks are, the same itchy feeling when i'm about to get another one. Getting this light rashes on my shoulders, the same one i used to get back when i would get random bruises or when my capillaries where bursting randomly... feeling paranoid

Haha, thanks Super, i'm glad it's not become atrocious or anything, although i acknowledge it is kind of basic and i struggle to remember the rules for sentence structure these days. :L

YouTube recommended a video of some old lady reacting to a live version of Slipknot's "People=Shit". Most of the time, she just made a lot of faces like this: 😕😮😳😓😧

But then out of the blue she just asks, "What does that even mean? "people equal shit"? I don't get it.

Um...it's pretty self-explanatory, lady.
Haha. So I woke up this morning to the actual lady from the video commenting back to me. She said, "Apparently not if I asked" in response to my saying it was self-explanatory. Knowing I pissed her off enough to comment back to me personally out of like hundreds of other comments totally made my day.

Okay that sounds funny - but why are there so many 'reaction' videos now? What is that all about?
