Gentle nerd freak of the pacific northwest. All nation states are vermin.
When asked about the aid levels, Miller acknowledged Israel has “failed” to meet US requests so far but said there was still time until the 30-day deadline and that the US wouldn’t give a “grade” to Israel just yet. “It’s not the end of the semester. You don’t give out – you don’t hand out grades in the middle,” he said while laughing.
Calling that a joke seems… generous.
Is it equivalent to burning the cross? The Swedish flag?
No, it’s definitely not. You have to look at the social context of the act, not just the act itself.
To use the most obvious examples, burning an american flag in protest of the vietnam war is clearly an expression of political speech, whereas burning a cross on the lawn of an african-american family’s house is an incitement to violence.
A fascist burning the koran is clearly an incitement to violence and hatred, and not legitimate political speech worth protecting.
Stinky tofu is usually fermented directly in rotting vegetable matter, I believe. But that sounds like the flavor, yeah.
Have you tried deep frying it? The crispy outside and soft inside is delightful. It’s often served with a little cooked cabbage.
For all the fun-ruiners saying this is not uplifting news because his assets will live on, zombie-like, animating his feckless children as they continue to inflict their monstrous will on our country - shush!
Just let us have this ok? A few moments to celebrate the death of a parasitic aristocrat doesn’t seem like too much to ask.
Stinky tofu is much milder in flavor than aroma. At least the stuff I ate in both Yunnan and Taiwan was, Hunan may have a different kind.
I found it incredibly tasty, like a mild gorgonzola. Fried or boiled in soup are both amazing.
In Taiwan it’s super convenient because as soon as you get punched in the nose by the aroma of hot, unwashed crotch you can follow that scent and you’ll almost always reach an amazing night market with a range of delicious food and other vendors.
“people standing next to musk who don’t punch him are traitors to humanity” is just obviously not a serious call to violence.
Your comments are much more offensive than anything you reacted to - you overreacted to the comment and then overreacted to the ban by posting this.
When I worked in a mall, there were no staff toilets. So I was subjected to a slightly less extreme version of that maybe 2-3 times a week.
I call that symphony “ringing the taco bells”.
When WC1 first launched the one selling point that everyone mentioned was that if you click on units enough times they get annoyed and say “stop poking me!”
Warcraft was always heavy on the whacky, that’s its whole thing.
If someone reads my comment, and they’our not sure if I’m serious our not, that’s ok with me.
Rebury the disarticulated ochre-painted bones of an important deceased community member!
Yeah, I’ve never seen or heard that either. I’m sure there our plenty of dialects where those two words sounds similar or identical.
“Edomite!”
I was getting onto a bus, someone looked me over and spat out the word. It was clear from the tone that it was an insult, but it also sounded suspiciously bronze age, so I was very excited to find out what it meant.
Turns out it’s a biblical reference used by some black nationalist groups in the US to refer to white people as unclean or diseased. Edom was one of several late bronze age Canaanite kingdoms. At one point the torah describes them as slightly paler and dirty, hence the insult.
Ah! Yep, definitely the same place!
Have you been to More Books, around the corner from the Powell’s on Hawthorne? They don’t want you to use your cellphone, are anti-wifi, only accept cash and use a handwritten ledger - all of which I find quite charming in a bookstore.
They had a ~100 year old typewritten compilation of translated Chinese sex jokes.
Not much fantasy/sci-fi but if you like books it’s got a real ‘living my best life in my bookstore’ kind of vibe that you might enjoy.
I really love seeing a well curated list, and that’s a well curated list.
Exactly. Never go to fat camp. Weight loss kills.
That picture of Riker makes me want a TNG remake in the style of Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace with Riker played by Matt Berry.
Oh doh yes I do! Once again I got tautonym and autonym mixed up. Autonym is within a species - like homo sapiens sapiens to distinguish from homo sapiens neanderthalensis.
First time I quit i was sick and cigarettes tasted awful for a week, so I figured if I had already gone a week without I might as well quit. Whenever I got a craving I thought about how disgusting they tasted with a cold, and imagined spongey lungs filling with black tar till I gave myself a shiver of disgust.
I started up again years later while traveling, then quit for good while visiting my parents for 2 months - I know I’m too embarrassed to smoke around my parents.
