Those things are mundane in that context.

Case in point, if you spent time with people who live in Sub-Saharan Africa and have elephants raid their crops, lions kill their kids, or hippos and crocs make every waterway dangerous, all those stuffed animals and children's books about the zoo that Western children have are full of genuine monsters. Real life, dangerous killers. And your baby from Iowa says "bi-bo-bopimous" and it's cute? Hippos murder people daily.

Also, you forget that plenty of people also genuinely believe in and practice magic, give things to house elves and fae, banish spirits, and take potions. That context doesn't make stories any more or less valid. Stories make stories valid. And any context or setting removed from your own, is exotic to you.

Y'all, this is a direct response to all the boycotts this last year over that one country's participation. Between UK and French affinity, Canada will easily replace the viewership of a good chunk of Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Slovenia. Probably not Spain included, as that probably also drags in a small but significant number of Latin American viewership and votes.

Yes, and you give yourself da Beetus buying soda with the food stamps paid for by New Yorkers.

The sad part is how hard the South committed to losing. Not lost take the L and walk it off. Generational losing. Epic, century-long losing every single fucking day of every life of every redneck, cracker-ass dipshit. Systematic losing, so deeply ingrained that even when they get ahead a little bit, one fucking Yankee asswipe cons half of them out of their every last dime. And they're glad to give it up.

Roman empire levels of tragic, really.

Hey now, Chuck Schumer probably has a very strongly worded letter just in the chamber, ready to rip.

You know, the human body is amazing. Given the right conditions, one of us thinks 25°C is hot, and the other, cold. 20°C at the beach? That's a jacket, jeans, and flannel shirt for me.

Sorry about your sunburn. That's never fun, regardless of temp.

Yeah, OK, that's a fair point.

Still, I think you all cold-loving people are strange. Why rebuke the loving embrace of Father Sun? Mangoes and wine are your reward!
