I also have very good color vision.
For me it heavily depends on the context. For example I have spent some time working out a color palette for my wardrobe, so now the colors I use there are heavily associated for me.
Without any context, it’s similar to your grouping, except for the second group: oranges go nearly all to the reds, yellows go to the greens, browns go to black and greys.
That’s neat. Makes me wonder, if we had another word for Nein in German as well at some point. If so, I’m sad we dropped it.
It’s always nice to learn the ways English and German diverged at some point, like English dropping the -st ending for verbs for the second person singular. I. e. “thou hast” (“du hast”), “thou thinkest” (“du denkst”).
“Doch” is used to negate a negative question. So basically you are saying “Yes, I am afraid.”, but in one word. (Or is the correct negation “No, I am afraid.”? It’s really very confusing in English.)
I think it does make a difference. When the parties are voted for before forming the coalition, you know exactly how many people supported them and their policies. Then the coalition is negotiated based on that. If you form the coalition first, then only the majorities inside the coalition matter for who has the most say, you have no way of knowing what’s important to the voters.
I know this is just a joke, but he very much meant to cut us all off. He changed his number his stage name, because he didn’t want to be a famous artist.
Me: hits return.
Word: “Sure, here, a new line. I already indented it for you, same as the one before. Like a good IDE.”
Me: “That’s nice of you, Word, but I want this one to be indented one tab stop less than the line before.” Hits delete.
Word: “Delete, you say? Sure, back to the line before.”
Me: “No, no! Just delete one tab! Maybe, if I select the line and hit dele…”
Word: “Why of course!”
Me: “Shit, it’s gone. Undo! Hmm… Move the thingy here on top?”
Word: “Move all the lines you say? No problem!”
Me: “Nvm, I’ll just indent everything by hand with spaces.”
Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen is a satire of Gothic novels in general, and The Mysteries of Udolpho by Ann Radcliffe in particular. Several others are referenced by name in the story and for many of them it’s probably the only reason they are even remembered today.
Are other people allowed to hear our song when we play it? If so, I choose Macarena and then sell my attendance at parties and weddings and so on.
I’m glad it did too. I did not need this information, nor do I know what to do with it, but somehow you made both of our days a little bit better.
300 is btw roughly the amount of players in 27 soccer teams or the exact amount of fingers on 60 hands.
Just livin the goth life.
Let me phrase it this way: If someone I was dating said this to me, I would run as fast as I can. And my first concern wouldn’t be that they might commit a war crime somewhere.
What about “glom of nit” though?
No. Just Istanbul, not Constantinople.
No, I need more empty jars! What else should I put in all those neat empty boxes I collected?
… unless there are not enough teachers, or not enough public pools, or…
The indoor pool I learned swimming closed a decade ago and since then there is no public indoor pool in the city anymore.
I’m a bit sad Rhabarberbarbarabarbarbarenbartbarbierbierbarbärbel doesn’t make an appearance in this.

(Bärbel owns a bar where she sells a special beer to the barber who cuts the beards of the barbarians who like to eat rhubarb cake at Barbara’s (aka Rhubarb-Barbara) bar.)
The civilisation of ancient Egypt lasted 3000 years and now we think of them as a homogeneous group who all built pyramids and wrote in hieroglyphs.
That was kinda my point. If you rely on the fact that your boyfriend or girlfriend understands you well enough that they wouldn’t do a proposal that makes you feel uncomfortable, then them doing something like that might be a deal breaker or at least not an immediate yes. Because it would make you rethink whether they really understand you. But we’re probably getting lost in hypotheticals here. As long as everyone involved in the OP was happy, I’m happy for them.
Others here have already made a lot of good points, so I just want to add one I haven’t seen addressed yet.
Having only one friend or one group of friends can be “dangerous”, because what happens when you lose them? I know, this is not something we like to think about, but people have accidents or get sick or die suddenly or you have a huge argument or… And then you have no one to turn to to help you to deal with the situation.
If you have several “independent” friends or friend groups, you have a much stronger support network. You have someone else to turn to, even if it’s just for venting about problems with your other friends. For me personally this kind of social security – knowing I won’t ever have to deal with things on my own – is very important and reduces a lot of my anxiety about the future.
On a side note this reasoning also applies to maintaining friendships during a relationship.
