Yeah, don’t worry about the soy sauce. But do use it on up in the next few months, because it will ferment after long while, and that’s pretty gross.

Yeah, I don’t think he was responsible for tactics either, but we just spent most of a decade talking trash about Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for military actions that happened under their watch, so I’m not shedding a tear if Donald Trump catches flak for it. In the meantime, 59 is a hell of a lot of casualties…

Only peripherally related to Ed Milliband: Everyone should watch every episode of 8 Out of 10 Cats, because they’re really quite funny...

Wow, unexpected! I always thought that VAT was the compromise for no income tax. Not that you’re supposed to know, but how does the UK work? Maybe that’s what I was thinking of?

THANK YOU FOR SPELLING IT ROGUE AND NOT ROUGE!!!! NO ONE IS RED OVER THIS (except that we’re all doing a fair amount of hyperventilating, and my fight vs. flight instincts have been peaking for the last 79 days)!!!

But because of the high VAT, you don’t have a proper income tax like in the states, right? I imagine that evens things out significantly if so.

Lunch time, doubly so.

Vichy cunt.

Advocating for assault is not hate speech. And neither is support for an assaulter. Get it together, bud.

Popular People’s Front of Winnipeg?

‘Cause there ain’t any fences there?

I feel you on the Parks and Rec example. I recently made up a Plex playlist with all the shows I love to watch, each one with every episode I have, and I absolutely left out Parks and Rec season 1. The boys club episode where Leslie opens the wine and cheese basket is the only good one in the season.

Isn’t that just the most galling thing? Like, “I don’t hate you because of your stance on taxes or government programs. I hate you because you talk shit about groups that have always been talked shit about and oppressed. How is that so hard to understand?!”

It’s definitely more ridiculous because, while it’s not a hard and fast rule, a person being a candidate and having an “R” or “D” next to their name means that you can make a few plausible assumptions about that person and their governance beliefs, and you might not be 100% right, but you do have a pretty good chance…

Word! I love learning about languages and their history. Super early Japanese used Chinese characters for their phonetic readings, and frequently, people would use different characters for the same phonetic sound. It’s like they were trying to sabotage their own literacy. I have no idea how people dealt...

It actually takes a hell of a lot to spark panic and stampeding. Over and over, in major disasters, people tend to keep calm and work together way more often than they panic and go crazy. It’s really only in TV and movies that it plays out like you implied. It’s not that it never happens, but it’s far less of a risk…

We are all Sidney Ponson.

I’m just gonna keep doing random Japanese lessons of the day. This isn’t directed at you in particular.

Yeah, this is pretty bad behavior, the smashing windows and burning things. I get the anger and frustration, but I wish the outlet were a little less destructive.
