Seth’s been going after him too. In a world where karma existed the stress would catch up with his hamberder filled heart pretty quick, but I wouldn’t even bet on him kicking it in the next 10 years unfortunately. Evil shitty ghouls tend to hang on forever, like fucking Kissenger did.

Lotta guns in the US. What percentage of people need to be pushed toward the edge until one with the correct means and circumstances snaps?

Lies, the internet isn’t tubes, it’s a small box

When I was new to anime I watched Naruto. Made it about 150 eps before everything felt like it was repeating itself, and that was the last “endless” anime I ever watched.

Still maintain that an anime over about 100 eps can’t be good–maybe ok, maybe amusing enough that you’ll watch it, but not good good. There’s simply no way to sustain a decent story for that long.

It doesn’t matter, the rumor has even less legs than the couch fucking. No one on the left would believe it because he’s never done anything for anyone else in his life, and no one on the right would believe it because “god president daddy ain’t no queer!”

Maybe you should try “medium talk” so you don’t get bored and other randos don’t get weirded out. After a comment about the weather you can say that bc of the nice weather you were hiking/sportsing/otherwise hobbying in [location], and wondered if they’ve been there recently. Or if the weather was shit that you were indoors doing whatever hobby and ask what they tend to do in their free time.

Hobby talk can basically be as superficial or deep as you need it to be, so the conversation can progress from there as needed.

Interesting what languages go with, as Japanese keeps the save part but drops the protect in favor of hurry/emergency, so it’s the “hurry up and save you car” 救急車

Even ambulance itself comes from the French phrase walking hospital, and then the hospital part got dropped. We still retain the word ambulant to mean moving in English

Even more than the compound words I really like the kanji that have basically pure pictograph meanings, like mountain pass being “mountain up down” 峠.

Side note my favorite mnemonic is for the word (hospital) patient, where a person (者) ate too much meat on a stick, and now the problem is in their heart 串 + 心 --> 患者

Valerian had a lot of interesting stuff going on visually but they did the classic thing of trying to cram the extensive story of the book (from what I saw about it, i haven’t read it) into a movie run time, so it ended up being a bit of a shallow jumbled mess.

Spoken like someone who never built a hypertube cannon to fling yourself beyond the boundaries of the map

Sometimes when the media has these extreme closeups of him and you can really see the sweat and oil pouring off his greasy hide it reminds me of the absolute diarrhea garbage pile that he must constantly smell like and being within a 2 meter radius of him must be olfactory torture.

Yeah but if you drop your can on a random rock it won’t fling metal shards around everywhere

Grammar coming from somewhere other than the prestige dialects you’re so fond of are also valid ways of communicating.

Bubbler is mostly only used in parts of New England and WI

Until that lawsuit hits the corrupt scotus with a literal handmaiden presiding, where they’ll rule that while all religions are equal, some are more equal than others.

Reagan’s gotta be on that list somewhere

I dunno about China but in Japan they sometimes have segments where they ask guests to read obscure characters, and other ones where you’re supposed to write the character they name. Writing kanji is somewhat comparable to spelling words in English.

Watching that and Taskmaster NZ makes me think there are like 2 dozen comedians in the entire country and they just run around doing different TV shows where sometimes they’re the guest and sometimes they host. And occasionally there aren’t enough people so they have to import some from Australia.

all of the effort to coordinate a spelling bee on a wide scale could’ve been used to develop and standardize a more phonetic writing system

You say that like it hasn’t been tried a bunch
