A good falafel is a proper delight

He looks like he knows exactly how handsome he is

A = straight man who performs in drag shows, interested in B B = straight woman, interested in C C = straight man who doesn’t know what a drag queen is and thinks they’re women (a genderswapped Mulan situation), interested in A’s drag persona

I have no idea if this is what python actually meant by “a Mulan situation” but now this feels like I’m trying to solve a sudoku or something

The dude went to a drag queen show without understanding what the whole concept was

He’s a very good boy though

Ahh, thanks! My knowledge of the region isn’t great, I just remembered that story off hand - and of course, that’s the story as told by the British colonial administration too

Ahh fuck, stuff being published by them was usually a decent sign that it’d be interesting in some way. Best of luck to the actual team, I hope they can put something new together

It definitely is

I kind of like the argument that Ecuador’s Chimborazo is the tallest on the basis that it’s the farthest point of Earth from the centre of the Earth

Funnily enough, the man it was named after was against calling it that. It came about because the Tibetans and Nepalis on either side of the mountain used different names for it (Qomolangma and Sagarmatha respectively), so British surveyors concluded that there was no accepted name to put on a map and they would simply give it a new one. In English. George Everest, the prior top British surveyor in India, objected on the grounds that his name couldn’t be written easily in Hindi, but the Royal Geographic Society ignored him and the used it anyway

I desperately need the author of the McMansion Hell blog to cover this

Some parts of south Asia actually do use a six season model. You’ve got the four you’re familiar with plus monsoon season between summer and autumn and one other one either at the start or end of winter depending on the specific system

Before opening: this better be the oily Josh post

Edit: excellent

“Christ” means “anointed” or “the anointed one”, so “the Christ” actually kinda works

…but since “anointed” means to put oil on something, does that make Jesus the Christ fast as greased lightning?

This has literally nothing to do with women’s rights

this is exactly the point I’m making

You responded to criticism of the state of women’s rights under Taliban governance with criticism of America, you absolutely said something exactly that simplistic. If the post was saying that America and/or its allies should re-invade or otherwise try to overthrow the Taliban, sure, you might have a point, but it isn’t

You don’t have to think America is doing things right to think the Taliban are doing them wrong

The original being “This film is dedicated to the gallant people of Afghanistan.” See, for example, this review from 1988

I’m pretty sure he would have, although I can’t imagine that he would have been going there to “retire” Sapper in the first place. While his actions at the end of the film weren’t against his old duties for the police, he seemed all in for the replicant cause by the end of the film. The thing Sapper said about “because you’ve never seen a miracle” turned out to be spot on

Can’t blame her honestly, if I lived in a world where nobody even recognised the smell of garlic I’d be blown away by a good cake
