"They're eating the cats. They're eating the dogs. They're eating the pets of the people that live there"

I think it's impossible to assume anything at all. With cultural, age and gender differences, it's difficult to figure out what the intentions of another person are, unless they state them clearly. Neither you or he did that.

As a guy, I can assure you that guys do not understand subtle hints or can even logically deduce where this casual acquaintance is going from what you have already described.

You'll need to be very clear. Maybe then he will also tell or show you his own intentions more clearly.

But first you need to know yourself what you actually want to hang out with this guy for and if it's worthwhile maintaining the friendship for whatever reason. It makes sense if you have mutual interests or benefits from keeping in touch. However, my best guess based on your description of him offering a back massage is that he might have more romantic intentions than you. In that case it's best for both of you to be brutally clear and end his hopes instead of "friend-zoning" him. It might feel unpleasant, but it's crucial to be clear. If he reacts negatively, well, there's your answer.

Crayons? Not my cup of tea.

I'll choose riding the horse/unicycle then.

We did that in Denmark this year, cutting a holiday.

It turns out the whole thing was a calculator mistake, and also, the same faulty calculator was wrong about needing it in the first place.

All car manufacturers world wide are subsidized.

Of course China can make cheaper cars, because most car manufacturers get their parts produced in China anyway.

It really depends on the reference. 0 today is not the same as 0 was when I grew up. By the standards then, it was probably a 4, but by today's standards it would be in the negatives, -2or so.

With a wide brush you can paint the picture like this: The Republicans were left wing communists (or at least they wanted a democratic republic) and the Nationalists were right wing fascists.

Nationalists won and they had a dictator (Franco) in Spain from 1939 to 1975.

This is dementia ramblings.

They could have asked him about cheese and I bet he would've talked about doing a tremendous job at making cheese grate again.

A dog without leash shows that the owner hasn't bothered taking dog training classes or in the case of my country that they haven't bothered learning the law. If they can't be bothered to do that, I worry that they are not responsible enough to take care of the dog, and they shouldn't be allowed to own a dog. Dog ownership ought to require a license or mandatory training.

The person using the perfume might also not even know about the issue, but in that case, I don't think it makes sense to blame the consumer. There are simply too many types of products that are potentially dangerous when used wrong. Perhaps the seller ought to have warned about it, but I doubt that would make much difference. You can still be upset about it being produced. Lots of things are like that.

Sometimes you can blame the consumer and sometimes you can't.

It's a response to Neil Young's songs which criticized the racist south.

Basically, it's what-about-ism in song form, mocking the liberals for being upset with Nixon.

I think it's just a follow up on the recent NATO meeting where everyone decided to suck Trump's cock to make him shut up and play along.

Troels Lund Poulsen is the perfect tool for that.
