Most of our houses have to stand up to the cold too (at least presently). Idk how much this affects what kind of designs are possible, but some brain roughage for ya.

MintyFresh ,

Don't do that. Part of the reason white America is whinging out at the moment is they feel tribe-less. Every human is as ancient a culture as the next, it's simple math! Imma just assume you're some euro trash. Go suck on a macaroon!

Now obviously we should find something better to celebrate than some asshole slavers who lost a war they started... Devils always in the details.

MintyFresh ,

Yes! There's so much love to live and so little time to do it!

MintyFresh ,

They really are. I throw them in soups all the time.

You always believe the latest thing presented to you, no matter how ridiculous. It was obviously the very same time travelers who masquerade as pyramid building aliens, whom are also responsible for Winnipeg, the Harlem shake, and the noble platypus. Getting all willy nilly with the coconuts, fuckin degens.

My mom lives in a cabin out in the woods. I found her as a stray a few years ago, dumped her there. It's a good life for a kitty.

MintyFresh OP ,

Cat physics. A strange and darkart of the fluffiest sort!

MintyFresh OP ,

Stretchy boi!

As someone who grew up in northern areas, not really. In fall or spring (Oct, or April) when the sun has a better angle you can notice. But the rest of the winter when the sun's at a slant? Not so much.

I never got the dune hype either, book or movie. The latest was fun to watch on the big screen, and the 80's make is awesomely 80's in all its 80's terribleness. But over all it gets a meh from me. And I'm a huge SF nerd.

MintyFresh ,

Deep impact is a great movie! Directed by Mimi Leder. She also directed The Peacemaker, a great 90's adventure movie with George Clooney and Nichole Kidman. If you're into that sort of thing.

MintyFresh ,

Ha! When their eyes dilate like that you know shenanigans are imminent.

MintyFresh ,

It's got ducks swimming in it. I'm not a language scientist but that looks to be swamp German of one variety or another. Lowlands+duckies equals moat... Probably

MintyFresh ,

I know they're terrible and gon for a good reason.... But.

I miss old school lights. I remember as a kid, around town in the winter. Pitch black at 6pm. -20f, absolutely still air. All you can hear is the hum of the sodium lights. Just the warmest red/orange light.

I'm probably just an old man reminiscing, but the world won't produce temperatures, light, or silence like that anymore. Now it's just the harshest led lights, a million beeps, and half heard music on shit ass speakers.

MintyFresh ,

Ha! A gritty nature documentary following Pokemon around the wild might actually be cool. Someone call Attenborough.

MintyFresh ,

That is cool. Ty!

MintyFresh ,

I just got a credit card to build credit. I've never had a loan or card prior to this. The whole thing is so gross.

I hate to get biblical but I'm reminded of the story Jesus fucking up those finance bros with a rake. Shit stays the same apparently. 2k years on and it's the same shit. I'm not religious AT ALL but if Jesus did come back and immediately started beating wall Street bros about the head and face with landscaping tools...

MintyFresh ,

One extra grit, western style reach around coming up!

MintyFresh ,

Thank you. People will eat organic vegan, apply sunscreen, exercise regularly, but when they get behind the wheel suddenly loose a certain sense of self preservation. And me preservation too! Cause I'm that asshole walking on the too small sidewalks. Assholes

Missed pad Thai. Pulled right from the Wikipedia article:

Although stir-fried rice noodles were introduced to Thailand from China centuries ago, the dish pad thai was invented in the mid-20th century. Author Mark Padoongpatt maintains that pad thai is "...not this traditional, authentic, going back hundreds of years dish. It was actually created in the 1930s in Thailand. The dish was created because Thailand was focused on nation-building. So this dish was created using rice noodles and it was called Pad Thai as a way to galvanize nationalism."

Another explanation of pad thai's provenance holds that, during World War II, Thailand suffered a rice shortage due to the war and floods. To reduce domestic rice consumption, the Thai government under Prime Minister Plaek Phibunsongkhram promoted consumption of noodles instead. His government promoted rice noodles and helped to establish the identity of Thailand. As a result, a new noodle called sen chan pad thai (named after Chanthaburi Province) was created. Pad thai has since become one of Thailand's national dishes. Today, some food vendors add pork or chicken (although the original recipe did not contain meat because of the government's perception that pork was a Chinese meat). Some food vendors still use the original recipe.

Carless for 15years now. I rent or borrow one occasionally. I even have a class A license (means I can drive with 18wheels and speak seductively on the c.b.) I'm not anti-vehicle by any means, but I am anti these cities and ways of being we've built up around them. It's difficult having conversations about cars with people.

If you're an American like me you were probably brought up in a life dependent on personal automobiles. It would be indoctrination if it was malintended. I have difficulty expressing how bad our country looks, looking in from a carless vantage.

It's not a good look tho. Lazy, selfish, really unhealthy. Like I worry about some of you. And just fucking rude to nature. The sheer square footage we have paved over and devoted to these machines is just fucking tragic.

I love walking. Love the bus even when it smells like ass. I hate to be romantic and douchy about it, but you'll find me out with the unwashed masses, clinging to the last scrap of dignity.

MintyFresh ,

This is just segregation 2.0. the deal is you get a voucher you can take to a private school.

The quiet part is that these schools have curriculums that are filled with your usual religious dogma and demagoguery. The biggest benefit being no inconvenient dark skinned people or español.

Vote Democrat people!

Rotted fruit in a barrel of brine. Our ancestors did what they had to to get by, but it's a different age now.

Like the French and snails. Don't tell me that's fancy eating. Twas a plate developed by and for starving fucking peasants. When do you eat a snail? When the alternative is somehow worse.

Olives are barbarism.

I just made this post before I saw yours. I hope you can get a kitty soon!

MintyFresh OP ,

Be careful with those, God only knows what's in them. Cat fentanyl or some shit

MintyFresh ,

Looks like a SovCit kitty with ridiculous homemade I.D.s . Lol that face is cat for "Am I being detained!?!?!"

MintyFresh , (edited )

I for one hail our new cat benevolent-ish overlord! Such a helpful kitty!

MintyFresh ,

My cats name is miss Caligula. We call her calie too!

MintyFresh ,

It is neater and faster but people cannot read it nor reciprocate. It used to be more or less universal. I like it and use it, but won't if what's being written is for the public.

When I was young my teacher said "If you want to be taken seriously you must use cursive!" She also said I'd never have a calculator in my pocket when I needed it, so there's that.
