Tho I'm kinda happy the reference still flies

I have never claimed to be a bastion of good judgment. Or taste. Mea culpa

Ew.

Lube, or Santorum?

We call it the "jiayou button" When internal pressure gets too much, the gov hits the jiayou button and lets the people rage against foreigners. Usually the Japanese, but any colonial power will do. And that teppanyaki resto was owned and operated by Chinese. Only the cuisine was foreign

There. I was taking pics of a trashed teppanyaki resto at that protest, and a guy came up and told me (shortened for the format) "I hate the Japanese, don't fuck Chinese girls"

So have they. I had rocks thrown at me during the early 2ks anti-japanese protests (the usual issues) because I had a Japanese camera. So did they. But the conditioning to hate the colonialists runs deep. I had a friend rebuke me for mentioning tiananmen- tho her brother lost his degree for being

Oh and happy to meet you, @elfdock.bsky.social !

And those sippy sacks like kids get at recess. My favorite was the one called "handgrenade"- sold in a bottle the size and shape of a Mills grenade

Yeah. I've lived there. It's... very different. I loved my time there, but it has many, many flaws. Just different ones. Or at least Flaws with Chinese Characteristics

weren't comfortable being visibly Jewish. Which is awful. Funny note- Joe, my childhood friend, told me upon returning from a Bar Mitzvah in Paris "man, Jews know how to party!" Dude has a point. We still meet for drinks whenever I hit home, 30+ yrs later.

While I don't doubt the truth of your experience, this blows my mind. I grew up in rural NS- neighbor friend was a child of a holocaust survivor. Ex-wife Jewish. Lived in Montreal surrounded by liberal and orthodox Jews. Perhaps these people just don't realize they've met Jews, because the Jews...

Sensible hot weather cultures understand the need to let the nuts swing free and breathe.

60+% alcohol to start. The sweet ester reek you sweat for days after drinking. Hangover that makes you wish for death. Also, when i was there sold in squeezy bottles for easier drinking while driving. But mostly the baijiu sweat after. Just nasty.

That actually just gave me an insight into the English Colonial Regime. These were people who wore layered WOOL GARMENTS into places charitably described as "fuckin hot" Loonies all. No wonder they couldn't see sense. All their attention was focused on the itch of jungle rot eating their nads

Sad. I was hoping for some vicarious snow... As I said, hot as balls. 4am here and aircon still running flat out. Part of that might be my being fat and hairy, but not all!

Morning Rob! How's the snowfall situation? Still hot as balls here.

Ahem

That's a very happy dog!

Honestly its a miracle I still have all my fingers
