I once ordered from a wings place and left the comment “arrange the chicken into a pentagram. please, I need this”
They didn’t do it, but I hope I made someone chuckle out of it.

In Asia, it’s a nightmare.
The PokeStops and events are plentiful and raids are easy to win and great.
But gyms, man. They don’t change because of the smurf accounts. I stopped being able to get free coins because people would walk around my city with corkboards with 6-8 phones, and any time I knocked out a Pokémon at a gym, a new one was immediately in its place.
No more free coins, so I quit entirely.
Yep. The Romans fucked themselves sideways doing this a few times. You can have all the soldiers or you can have some farmers and skilled laborers. You can’t have both.
Imagine Vietnam-era US, but it was willing to sacrifice every warm body within its borders to win.
Like the US, I think Russia is on a collision course with failure. But they’re going to take it a lot farther before waving a white flag. So much so that it will take the country decades to recover.
And Ukraine won’t be looking too hot at that point anymore, either.
You’re selling Earth blood that makes the sky melt.
That’s pretty fucking evil.
No no.
See, we ran the Numbies.
China Numbies Go Down.
Numbies supposed to Go Up.
China is doom.

This strain of brainworm never ceases to amaze me. I’m not a tankie, either and I hate the mainland with a passion. But counting China completely out when it’s clowning the rest of the world on infrastructure right now is just plain mouth-breather stupid.
You ever watch Requiem For A Dream?
Also, Estonia and Lithuania fucking rule.
It wanted to stop Belgium from having all the fun.
I believe the island of Lesbos is in Greece.
Taiwan’s position is no longer that it is the rightful ruler of China. That notion died with Chiang Kai-shek and nobody with a shred of a brain truly believes it.
The PRC won the fight over who “legitimate China” is when the UN gave them the seat for China. Also, one of these is an international superpower and the other is Taiwan.
This mostly correct.
But the US isn’t responsible for Taiwan’s increased interest in independence. Taiwan is.
After the Sunflower Movement and witnessing what happened to HK, young Taiwanese are overwhelmingly in favor of independence. So much so that independence has become all but stated as the platform of the DPP. The KMT is now the pro-unification party, but outside of the last mid-terms, they have been getting slaughtered in elections and had to tone down their pro-China rhetoric.
Status quo is definitely still the overall majority, but that is going to change with demographics and the next generation overwhelmingly favor independence.
As they should. China was not the first owner of Taiwan, and over the course of Taiwan’s history, their control of the island was relatively short. This is not even speaking of the Indigenous Taiwanese who are always left out of the conversation about Taiwan and have never been citizens of China or had Chinese heritage.
It also “arbitrarily” has its own currency, government, military, flag, infrastructure, foreign policy, trade deals, etc.
And anybody who knows the history of Taiwan and doesn’t perceive it to be an independent nation is willfully ignorant.
I guess that makes me number 3?
The ending was a bit silly, but the Qunari storyline was fucking incredible.
I didn’t know electrical equipment could be vampires.
Oh hey, look.
The former CEO of EA made a greedy, short-sighted decision to fuck over his entire customer base.
I am shocked, friends.
SHOCKED.
My friend got by on 7 years in Germany only knowing
“Ein bier, bitte.”
and
“Willst du fich mich?”
