Try postmates — I saw them a few days ago in a store in Washington Heights. They did not appeal to me.

You need to pray harder to Uncle Sam.

I can’t tell if you’re kidding, but currents dictate that by the time that thing hit the water, it was already on the move. By the time they mobilized to organize a full for it it could be half way to Australia.

And then they all start laughing except the only reasonable person on the whole ship who yells at her while clearly contemplating shoving her in after it.

Wow, turns out there was a dumber way for them to end it.

I hate this woman so, so much. She’s as bad as Trump because she enables him by trying to make sense of the horrible things he says and does.

These people meaning the ones complaining, not the ones who sit down. I think that’s a totally viable form of protest and think the idea that we are supposed to express blind nationalism on demand absurd.

That’s why I referred to her as Chinese American, not Chinese. Asian is an ethnicity, not a term that is based solely on citizenship - she is Asian, even if she is American.

That’s a good point (and now I realize why someone else asked me which Asian) but I definitely meant the Chinese Asian— that stereotype is much more pervasive than the Indian one. Indian characters in movies that relate to tech are still usually useless support delivered by people half way across the world in…

Awkwafina is Chinese American isn’t she?

The Asian chick obviously.

Wrong. If you don’t wear the stars and stripes, you might as well be in the Taliban.

Hand on heart is traditionally for the pledge of allegiance. For the national anthem you’re just supposed to stand up and take off your hat. The way people protest the anthem at sporting events is by staying seated.

Funny I had the opposite response. I'll join their team - have you seen Battleship?!

Ocean’s 8.

I’ve never read anything else by Shute — started with On the Beach and was very never again about diving into his world again. I'll look into these.

That's true. Silver linings. NASCAR would make out like gang busters.

Good to know. Thanks for explaining! I hope whoever gets this place doesn’t kill the comment sections — learn something new every day.

That book is magnificent but left me anxious mess. Dead people walking. Yeesh.
