Yeah, American candy has about the lowest standards. Canada isn’t much better, but there’s a noticeable difference in the quality of chocolate in common chocolate bars. We once did a side-by-side comparison of KitKats (we live right on the border) and the difference was stunning.
My wife looked it up. It’s a hard licorice candy with a salty filling from the Netherlands called Napolean Zwart-Wit (which loosely translates to “tarred scrotum”).
I got a monthly food box for my wife a number of years ago. Each month they sent snacks from a different country.
I can’t remember which country it was from, but one month we got some round, hard candies. It was one of the most unfortunate things I have ever intentionally put into my mouth.
I don’t even remember the flavor (licorice, maybe?), because my brain attempted to bleach it out.
Everything else was usually tasty, though.
“I’m gonna pay you $100 to fuck off”
That’s disgusting, I hate raspberry.
Strategy favorite: Root - it’s rules-heavy, but each faction functions completely differently, and the art is fantastic.
Strategy blah: Axis and Allies. It’s more of a history lesson than a game, and I’ve never heard of a game taking less than four hours.
Chance favorite: Egyptian War (goes by other names, I think). Technically it’s not pure chance, but mostly (which is probably why I like it).
Chance blah: Left Center Right. The most mind-numbing experience.
For the record, Bingo isn’t dull if you play it the way those older ladies do, with like 12 cards at a time. Then it’s just a rush of anxiety. Still not fun, but not dull.
As of right now, your other post has 15 downvotes and 3 comments from others (the other 4 are you). All three comments say that you’re posting bait. This is hardly “oblivion.”
To answer your question, people are harsh on the transracial thing because they feel it’s similar to how some pedophiles are trying to normalize pedophilia, and are trying to make themselves part of the LGBTQ+ movements (even though most people don’t recognize that as legitimate). Whatever your views on any of these issues, many people feel that injecting illigitmate (or bad faith) cases like this actually takes away from the people fighting for legitimate things.
I’m not taking sides right now, just trying to help you understand why you’re getting this response. If you’re vying for transracial identities as legitimate, you’ve got a long and harsh road ahead, expect more pushback like this in almost all spaces.
Thanks! It was about 10 years ago, but I still enjoy being artsy.
I (male) tend to do more tidying, while my spouse (female) tends to do more cleaning.
I’d say the stereotypes are dated from when men weren’t expected to care for themselves or their home. And I know plenty of boomers and a few Gen X who fit into that, but I don’t see it as common in more recent generations.
Whichever one has the cocaine in it
Bottle with the label ripped off. That way, once people are used to it, I can drink used motor oil without all the questions.
Yes, polluting data sets is a way to combat unethical LLMs, but there’s no practical way to publish something publicly while protecting it from data scrapers.
Yeah, this is one of those “broken clock” things.
Once again, D&D improves society.
Debian is an operating system based entirely on free software, while a fedora is a type of stylish hat.
