Chick Publications has produced over 250 different titles, about 100 of which are still in print and available in over 100 languages.

Millions of these are getting printed every year.

Chick Tracts have successfully created a very real current of evangelical hostility vs. Catholics, Mormons, Jews, Muslims and other faiths, but especially against women, the poor, social liberalism, queerness, modernity, science, scepticism, atheism, freemasonry, and racial equality, but also rock music, D&D, the british, immigrants and (of course) Europe in general.

yes, they are called Chick Tracts

If ever I get the chance to relieve myself on Jack Chicks grave…

You guys have credit cards?

Jolene in my ass

Me too buddy, me too.

Sure why not

The difference to shawarma is negligible, yes. We’re using the turkish word because they introduced it to Germany and most of Europe. The Döner Kebab in the german/berlin style has become something new compared to it’s roots and is a completely turko-german item that could not get more popular.

Dönerman = Ehrenmann, ich küsse deine Augen

Döner Kebab (just called Döner) is THE fast food in Germany

Still, the Donner Party and their gruesome fate isn’t widely known outside the US.

Döner Party

Uhhh, that one’s hard to get for non-americans, but I got it.

Mmmhhhhmmm Dutch Charley Burger

cause now I have my boomer relatives AND my zoomer friends asking for tech support.

Haha, welcome to Tech-Support Hell!

and I don’t know who the others are

The original Obi-Wan Kenobi

And the greatest Author of all time

GNU Terry Pratchett

Also, I own a house, have no college debt and have met Steve Irwin and talked to Alec Guinness and Terry Pratchett in person.

Your move young whippersnapper.

I’ll need a couple of negative points for that to hold true.

Still nothing compared to how it’s used in the US.

I’ve never seen a cheque in my entire life and it’s so incredibly niche that you might as well talk about paying with stocks or gold bars.

1 Point, we don’t use cheques in Germany. Maybe 2 points, but I’d count my local Videotheque as the equivalent of the “Blockbuster” video chain.

It’s even worse when you remember that Jaime is pronounced Haime (from whence Hamish)

That is correct. Greek Iakóbos to Latin Iacobus to Jakobus to late latin Jacomus to early French Jammes to english James

vs a more direct Yaaqob to Jacob or via Jakobus to Jacob

This also explains why the short form of James is Jim, via french Jaime

And how Jack and James and Jim and Jacob and Seamus and Thiego and Diego and Jaime and Giacomo, Iacopo and Hamish are all related.

San Diego <- Santiago <- Sant Iago <- Sanctus Iákōbos -> Sanct Iacobus -> Saint Iacomus -> Saint James

And Iákōbos from Hebrew Yaaqob
