Or is it closer to Paris?" at a restaurant called Istanbul Cafe  World geography for a lot of Americans is a black hole of ignorance that consumes everything in its wake.

He wanted her to take his fishing line off the reel for him; she didn't want to do it. He got a little pissy about it and it was probably not a good moment in her day. Make a thread? I'd read it.

The most common one I've heard is "well you have faith that the sun will come up every day!" Well, no. The sun has come up literally every single day I've been alive. Based on previous experience I assume that this will probably keep happening. Nobody had to tell me that and there are no guesses. The sun just keeps on comin' up.

The Orange Mage posted:i thought this was just going to go to the actual reason, which is that right-leaning folks don't want to give things to people who don't deserve it, i.e. poor brown folks? No, the person I was debating with at the time was trying to make the argument that minorities literally have different biological structures than "normal" human biology, so it's impossible to apply universal healthcare coverage to everyone equally. Not quite Jew-horn mythology but definitely more than "sickle cell anemia affects black people differently" reasoning. It's both racist and an astounding denial of reality.

Also, cute cat. Props still for following through!e: And  at pointing out how expensive the shoes are and the brand.

On the plus side, having a shaved head feels great. I tried shaving my head for kicks when I was teaching English to monks as a volunteer while studying abroad in India, and it felt wonderful to just run my fingers across my fuzzy scalp. It's basically a go-to hand massager on your head!
