The Chinese government actually has academies where they train young women to be the wives of politicians. Not unlike the ancient days where Imperial officials would go around the country searching for the prettiest girls to join the emperor’s concubines. 

China still has a lot of sexist cultural norms as well. Women must get married before age 30 or they immediately become old hags (and they count the year you’re born as being 1 year old, so your a year older). If you come from divorced parents, it’s a huge stigma when trying to find a potential mate. Most men won’t…

Unless he’s given up on ever winning a title, the Lakers make zero sense. 

I live in NorCal and originally from the central valley, California’s Ag heartland. I’m curious to see what happens to these deep red districts when Trump completely tanks the ag economy. They’ll probably vote for a less moronic republican and still vote against there own interests, but who knows?

Did she express regret and remorse for her actions? (Your wife I mean, God knows Melania regrets everything in her life right about now.)

Not to mention one of the funnest retro-style battle systems in recent memory.

Anyone else have a bad feeling about Octopath? It seems like a dream come true for a 16-bit JRPG aficionado like myself, but after the 2 demos, it just feels sort of...dated? The combat isn’t as fluid as Bravely Default, which it mimics quite a bit, and even the graphics, which appear to take inspiration from my GOAT…

Kings fans were completely enamored with another euro the last time they had a top 4 pick also: Ricky Rubio. That said, I wanted Doncic like I wanted a super model prom date.

Koko gave the world so much: wonder, laughter, love and proving the theory of evolution.

The dub is so over the top it’s actually glorious.

I’ll be damned, it’s actually called a cornhole! I thought this post was all snark.

Ah, the forbidden fruit angle ;)

Why does the bottom of the logo look like a dude sitting on the can in a bathroom stall?

And the sky is blue... how is this news?

My plan is to taze my child whenever they utter the words “I want..”

It’s pretty simple (in theory). Don’t give them everything they want and make sure they’re exposed to real kids and not just the Richie Rich’s.

I’m always kinda confused why people from lower-class backgrounds like athletes and artists want their kids to be raised and educated to be like the upper-crust people that have been oppressing and ignoring them.

Why the hell would you bring that film up?!

Then let’s go with “Under his eye.”

This is probably a naive question, but my wife posed it and I didn’t have a great answer. Is there anything that can be done internationally to help the awful economic and social situations that Central America is in so that so many people wouldn’t be risking their lives to escape from there? I understand it’s a…
