But the Dutch weren't great in Indonesia, I don't think it's due to them. The liberalness is probably more from when they rose up and kicked the Dutch out, and had to find a way to reconcile 2000+ islands into one nation. All the different languages, religions, cultures, customs etc were celebrated at the time…

If you choose the saxophone you can be the Amphibious Sax Idiots!

I'm Australian too! But I've been living elsewhere for so long I now have another citizenship and completely envy how easy it used to be to go to Asia when there were flight sales and like, pat kangaroos and shit. I'm visiting for a holiday soon so I'll get my fix then! And by fix, I mean Cherry Ripes.

Unless you live in Australia! Then the flights are also cheap. Goddamn Australia with their bizarre animals and easy access to tasty South East Asian food.

I think the difference is you know $100 wine exists. There's a whole world they must be missing out on.

I'm that person too, and people think I do it (mainly my bf) just to be a pain in the arse. A guy at work rolled his eyes at me and said 'gay doesn't mean homosexual in that context'. Uhhh... so use another word, then.

That dog is SO HAPPY with his chic(k) hat.

My brain read that as UFC alum and I got SUPER excited.

FOTC, obviously first and best.

I never realized just how much salt is in everything until I went on holiday with a salt-sensitive person and we had to check the salt levels on all groceries. Most chocolate has too much salt in it for him! It was an eye-opener.

Yeah it's probably sneaky little hobbitses and Star Trek, hopefully they get their priorities right soon!

I agree! I'm still hopeful for Sherlock, but I really wasn't into what he did with the last Doctor Who series.

I know! They keep pushing production back as if it's not a thing I need in my life right now.

Moffat needs to concentrate on making the next Sherlock series awesome, so really we could afford to get someone else for DW.

See, if you live in a tiny studio like I did the kitchen and bedroom are the same room!

"Putting my head through a windowpane and shouting at the moon" is my favourite sentence today. Thank you.

This isn't about a landlord hating on Aunt Flo, this is about a building with crap plumbing that can't handle wads of cotton flushed down its pipes. So this person should put them in the bin (wrapped in toilet paper) like most other places in the world have to.

Yeah, they're subject to just as much petty academic trend/ego bullshit as anywhere else.

I've never felt more betrayed than when brands change sizing. It's like... I finally found you out of all the thousands and loved you and looked after you (while you supported my boobs) and LOOK HOW YOU'VE LEFT ME. ALONE.
