Selective rage
  • The best example I can think of where the race choices really got stupid to the point of offensive was the first "The Last Airbender" movie where the director race swapped the entire fire nation to Indian, made the water nation white when they probably should have been Innuit or something similar, then chose to mispronounce the main characters name to make it sound more ethnic when the source material was in English, so they knew exactly how it should be pronounced.

    Then for whatever reason, people got mad that the main character was white when it was the only character animated in such a way they could be white, and the tribe was a nomadic collection of people making it somewhat possible albeit not relevant to the nation theming of the other nations.

    Anyways, this triggered my annual Last Airbender rant, so sorry about that.

  • Harris is spending — and raising — way more than Trump
  • This is what everyone giving money wants right? You gave money for them to use it for the election.

    If they weren't such repulsive people, I would feel bad for all the Republicans that donated to Trump's campaign just to have him spend it on his legal bills.

  • No Party Is Standing Up for Immigrants Right Now
  • There isn't and shouldn't be a party for immigrants. Once they are citizens they fall under an umbrella that should be supported by a party, but until they can vote and have made the commitment of citizenship, our government shouldn't take their wants into account (besides obvious human decency and needs).

    Only in America do we concern ourselves with this. It should be made so good for citizens that people want to immigrate here and become citizens themselves. That is the only method I want to expend effort on to make immigrants lives better than they already are just by leaving their home country.

  • Legendary artist Frida Kahlo being casually dismissed in contemporary American newspaper headline, 1933
  • Frida didn't hit her stride, generating her most popular, and defining works until shortly after this article. 1938 being a prolific year for her. Her husband was more well known at this point but she would eclipse him with certain audiences within the decade.

  • I'm too busy or something
  • I rate it 1 star if it asks before I could possibly have even used it.

    It would have to be a truly miraculous app that transforms my life for me to change a review.

    If it asks after the 20th or so use, then it gets 5 stars because I obviously open it a bunch and regardless of my feelings, it's obviously useful to me.

    Bank and medical apps get an automatic 1 star because I don't get a choice in using them and I want them always improving.

  • KLM considers ending free sandwiches on European flights
  • Does the wine in the picture come with the free sandwich? Because I might have a solution.

    But dropping the sandwich and doubling the wine may cause some behavior issues. I'll have to perform an independent study.

  • I will not apologise
  • We used to pack brown sugar right on top of the espresso before pulling a double shot and running it into about an oz of half and half. Delicious and easy to drink immediately.

  • TIL there's such a thing as vegetarian Spam
  • They are correct. I'd do it myself but there's alot of spam in 1 can for a pizza or even 2. I'll have to set some aside next time I make Spam Masubi. Of course that means a few less servings of masubi.... life is full of hard choices...

  • Has anyone else noticed Zip-locks have changed?

    I've noticed that every product I've bought in the past year with a zip-lock seal is destroyed with common use. I actually think the zip-lock itself has gotten stronger. The bag rips before the seal opens on half the bags now and whenever I try to opens bags I had no issues with before, I find myself stretching/warping the plastic before the seal eventually opens.

    It's pretty frustrating and I am seeing it across many products. Cheese bags, storage bags, snacks etc...
