Someone near me has a WiFi hotspot called "Ruth Bader Ginsburg's iphone" lol In other news a whopping 24% of my city came or to vote yesterday, now we're gonna have a run off election for mayor. Amazingly, the Koch funded Republican only got 14% of the vote so he's out.This is the state that just elected a total unknown Koch funded senator so that comes as a surprise. site fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Apr 8, 2015 |

Disinterested posted:Greece still somewhat officially perpetuates bizarre 19th century style race myths about being a pure inheritor of ancient hellenic language, race and culture so Greeks often get trolled with the accusation that Greeks are slavs because Greece is actually real melting pot between the original loose hellenism + turks + slavs. Ah, gotcha. That's pretty funny. I know a couple Greek nationalist a-holes; I'll be sure to bring the topic up with them.
