  1. It's not the hand sign that makes a flag pledge by school children a bit on the fascist side.
  2. That's supposedly a very christian Italian lady called Lucia, worshiped in Sweden, and totally coincidentally quite blonde.
  3. I thought they already taught that in the US, in between the allegiance to the flag lessons.
  4. As I heard it "right to work" actually means "right to die while working". Generally speaking labor law in the US appears to be a joke played on American workers, but a significant percentage of them appear to be fine with it. But that's what you get with basically 100 years of stoking anti union sentiment. Now, it's not like labor laws in Europe are a wonderful panacea to all of the workers' problems, but at least they are not a trash fire being revered on an altar by a bunch of people who are being slowly poisoned and killed by the fumes.
  5. Actually, fairies are like that everywhere, but in other countries they got makeovers for the sake of the children.
  6. I have to wonder what exactly Meijer had going through his head in the four years leading up to his getting elected. Was he utterly unaware of what the GOP is, somehow?
  7. Programmers criticizing one another's languages is a war between glass houses where the only weapons allowed are trebuchets.
  8. Poor taste buds seems like it would be a good subtitle for this thread. Americans discussing food.
  9. I have no idea what I was going to write after that "And" Old age.

  11. Social justice themes? What do you mean by that?
  12. There are a few mistakes but it is still pretty awesome says this archaeologist.

  15. Armando Iannucci. He also created I'm Alan Partridge, The Thick of It, Veep, and Avenue 5. All very much worth having a look.
  16. Every time I see the words Steam Deck I think this guy named it:
  17. I'm not unaware that your whole deal with UBI and the like is written maybe-really-actually-obviously-sarcasm, and plausible deniability in order to avoid actual discussion and defuse debates. I'm a regular genius sleuth. I am so good I even infer things
