Did he actually do anything with India/Pakistan?

The scarf in Shinobi was such a revelation when it came out

It’s worse. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell.

Kung Pow

George and the Christmas Star

The movie, or the show?

Exactly. This is the proper version

So you’re saying it is possible then? That was my only hangup. I don’t have a position on whether we have free will (leaning towards not) for the exact reason we can’t prove it.

How would perceived irrationality be counter to a deterministic universe? It just maybe seems irrational without all of the information, but is still perfectly part of the causal chain.

I get essentially the same, although not being familiar with the references makes some parts unclear.

I’m assuming Michaelmas is a name, but maybe it’s a celebration (like Christmas) and the word term here is implying the author’s feelings about it.

Same with the Chancellor part. What does sitting in the hall mean? It’s an Inn, so not in official capacity then? Is it a metaphor or common turn of phrase?

Is Holbern hill steep? Or is it a famously gentle hill? The use of “wonderful” here tripped me up at first too since it’s so different from how we’d use it now.

What are chimney-pots? Are they just chimneys or something else?

What’s the third word? I’m guessing it’s “Hunting” but it looks like hnnting

Yeah that’s pretty accurate. It doesn’t help that the current internet structure thrives on any sort of engagement so getting some haters means you’re more visible and it becomes a feedback loop.

I’ll try and answer this but it’s complicated…

From what I gather, there are a bunch of different groups that dislike her for different reasons. Some people are just misogynists with fragile egos who can’t take a joke. Some are prudes who think less of anyone who does sex work. Some dislike her political comics for being “low effort”. Some think her comics are unfairly boosted (bots or something I guess??) to be more prominent than they should be. Some are upset over her apparent misandry in one particular comic (and the doubling down defense of it). And lastly some dislike how much “power” she has to quash all criticism/critique/parody of her comics.

It’s messy because the ones in the last couple of groups get lumped in with the ones in the first groups and it gets vitriolic/toxic pretty quickly. You know, like the internet tends to do.

Interesting. So the potato thing is technically against their rules, but they just do it anyways I guess?

Weren’t the Nazis meticulous about their records? The new crop know better than to leave a paper trail

It is economy

Lukewarm take: if the person being pranked doesn’t laugh during or immediately following the prank then it’s not a prank anymore, it’s just being mean to someone. Basically all the things “ruined” as pranks by the current situation fall under this, so it’s not really ruined at all.

I don’t disagree with you, but the person you’re responding to didn’t mention capitalism?

“Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt.”

Imagine criticizing the person forced into bed with the elephant for speaking up when the elephant behaves poorly.

Dangerously close to describing a folk music festival

Steam does suck though? It’s hard to use, and most things are better boiled/blanched or fried.
