Some new friends of ours were setting up some breakfast plans with us and I tentatively suggested a Sunday brunch this next Sunday.
The man looked at me and said "That's Easter Sunday" and then turned to his wife he said "You owe me $5.00"
Fine. Apparently my atheist "tell" is showing...

If you were to go to Dubai for a lecture, please do not do as Sting does here:

Ein unbedachtes Wort, und schon ist es passiert. Statt im Boden zu versinken, lässt sich ein peinliches Fettnäpfchen mit etwas Geschick überspielen. Souveränität und eine Prise Humor helfen dabei, die Situation schnell wieder zu entspannen.#alltagstipps #kommunikation #peinlich #fauxpas #selbstbewusstsein #socialskills #gutzuwissen

So the #USAnians sent a "special envoy" to Greenland.
This is a #diplomatic faux pas to start with - #Greenland is an autonomous division of the #Danish kingdom, and so all diplomatic actions should (at least to start) be done by approaching Denmark, through the USA ambassador to Denmark. Bypassing that is Not Done. Extremely rude. Like, "drop your trousers and shit on the floor in front of the queen" #rude.
So that's bad enough.
But the *reason* for the envoy is to try to convince Greenland to #separate from #Denmark, and join the #USA. i.e. it's just another extension of the "We'll take Greenland" #bullshit the #insane #orange mental-defect-in-diapers was pushing a while back. This is, from a diplomatic standpoint, unspeakably rude. Unimaginably so. Simply unfathomable, except for the fact that the USA *elected* that #fascist #asshole to behave this way.
So the normal diplomatic response would be for the Danish PM to summon the USA #ambassador, and ask him for an explanation, and the ambassador would be expected to provide an #apology to some degree.
But given Trump's penchant for appointing his kind of c*cksuckers as ambassadors, and zero respect for any kind of #behavioural standards, the appropriate response here would be for the Danish PM to summon the USA ambassador, and then #stab him in the #face.

Peinlicher #Fauxpas bei #Apple: Ein offizieller Social-Media-Account postete versehentlich ein #Werbevideo für das #Samsung #Galaxy #ZFlip7. Dem Konkurrenten aus Korea dürfte das gefallen haben. https://winfuture.de/news,152604.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia

Trump sorgt erneut für Kopfschütteln 🤦: Bei einem Treffen lobt er Liberias Präsident Boakai für sein „gutes Englisch“ – und zeigt dabei eine peinliche Bildungslücke. Englisch ist Amtssprache in Liberia! 📚🌍 #Trump #Bildungslücke #Diplomatie #Fauxpas

Madame de Tencin said that intelligent people often erred in their conduct because they could never believe that the world in general is as stupid as it is.
[Mme de Tencin disait que les gens d’esprit faisaient beaucoup de fautes en conduite, parce qu’ils ne croyaient jamais le monde assez bête, aussi bête qu’il l’est.]Nicolas Chamfort (1741-1794) French writer, epigrammist (b. Nicolas-Sébastien Roch)
Products of Perfected Civilization [Produits de la Civilisation Perfectionnée], Part 2 “Characters and Anecdotes [Caractères et Anecdotes],” ¶ 715 (1795) [tr. Merwin (1969)]

Liebe #stadtbibliothekoldenburg. Bei der Besichtigung eurer tollen Bibliothek mit meiner Schulklasse habe ich ca. 1975 das Dschungelbuch verstellt, weil ich der Meinung war, dass es am falschen Platz stand. Ich hoffe, ihr habt es wiedergefunden und bitte, das zu entschuldigen! #bibliothek #fauxpas #ichwarjungunddumm

I have a dental cleaning at 3 PM today. Naturally I’m going to leave 30 minutes early because that is precisely when you go to the dentist.

ALL of the law enforcement #MaytheFourth posts are cringey.
Peace Officers would be Jedi, not Stormtroopers.
The Empire were the bad guys, guys...Your #FauxPas is that the #PR campaign is as short-sighted and misaligned as the Empire's efforts/aims.

Welp, screwed up on my first pie. Forgot to put 5 tablespoons of melted butter in because I left it in the microwave. Found it as the pie was cooling. Ugh. Research tells me it should still taste ok, but the texture will be a bit different. Live and learn.

Just when I was starting to feel comfortable, I replied to someone and closed with a ;-) ...
Immediately upon hitting 'Post" I started to panic - DO THEY DO EMOJIS HERE? IS THAT CONSIDERED OBSOLETE? BAD FORM? AM I NOW THAT GUY?!
I calmed down, but I'm still iffy on my choice of old school punctuation emojis. It's like I wore cargo shorts on my second day at a new job.
