Nobody married to president sheinbaum would be boring

Ain’t Alberta east of the rockies?

And yeah I was under the impression that the grain was from Louisiana (rice) and the rocky rain shadow (wheat). I know here in the Mississippi basin we’re mostly sticking to growing corn and soy as livestock feed

Yeah here in the Midwest my area lost power due to the polar vortex around the winter solstice a few years back. Did it suck? Yeah. But towels under doors, ready to eat food, candles, and lots of blankets made it merely unpleasant. You absolutely should have supplies for situations like that. At some point I’d also like to keep drinking water supplies. Your emergency preparedness kit is generally best to keep at “bearable” levels for a few days. The goal is to ride it out, not to experience full comfort.

Wait are yall a major wheat and rice producer?

Yes, but you’re gonna want to live in El Paso. Otherwise you’re in bumfuck nowhere next to Oklahoma, Louisiana, or Arkansas. New and old Mexicos are much better neighbors

His father is a real piece of shit. Like evej when compared to Elon. But also he grew up in a society defined by a particular level of violence. Even though he was the privileged group there the violence was still present and there was violence to all, including the violence to teach the white children to be the oppressors.

The Lenin one has been on my mind for like a year now. We’re coming up on the anniversary of the February revolution and I’m hoping that as things get worse we’ll see the point where we have had enough.

I have no idea. We don’t get enough of you for it to be a thing we really talk about

Not sheer luck, but because she’s german. Germans haven’t been mass migrating to America since the 60s at the latest and her detention is a change from the norm of us mostly only doing this to Latin Americans, Caribbean folks, Middle Easterners, and Africans

Historically very true. Nobody ever was glad they invaded Vietnam

It’s fair I can’t understand why they don’t just use the legs they don’t have

Ukraine is going to renuclearize

Any attempts of anyone to do anything he doesn’t like is an attempt to screw him in his eyes.

The EU’s major effect isn’t harm to the us but keeping France, England, and Germany from shooting each other

Yeah it would involve war. I don’t want war with my neighbors. I want a good alliance with them and maybe even the sort of border they have over in Europe. War would be stupid on America’s part and not resisting with military force if needed would be stupid on Canada’s part

Southerners are the same way. Nobody calls us yanks as a compliment

As a native speaker yeah though depending on where I am I may assume a non native speaker because it’s an irregular adjective-noun pairing and I know that’s the sort of thing that trips people up

Now I know this isn’t a new observation or anything and I never watched episode 9, but in 7 and 8 Rey felt like just as much of a Mary Sue as Luke did in the ot. Now the well worn observation is that Luke Skywalker is like, the textbook Marty Stu.

Welcome to feminist media analysis. It’s an existing academic field and you can find books and YouTube videos on it (and it can go pretty deep into related topics).

One of my favorite examples was when the creators of Avatar the Last Airbender were deciding to create their sequel about the next avatar they decided to make their protagonist a woman and executives at nickelodeon complained that boys wouldn’t be able to relate to a female protagonist.

The explanation I’ve largely heard that makes sense to me is that women are taught women are generally expected to learn to empathathize with male protagonists whereas the inverse is much more optional. You have plenty of men who do get into wonder woman and she ra and korra, my childhood best friends are among them, but you also get a lot of men who don’t in a way where I can’t think of an inverse that I’ve seen

Yeah you don’t fuck with a conbi in Japan. They take those things seriously

Ah the millennial sexual revolution.

But for real, Chinese people are just people but in China. Some of their conditions are different like the gender disparity but many are similar
