The notion that the West needs China more than vice versa is laughable. China is literally the biggest importer of Western goods and resources in the world including absolute dependence on American soybeans just to feed its population.

Olives are delicious, olive oil is ghastly. What’s up with that?

Every night. Sometimes pleasant dreams, more often horrible nightmares. And I can’t get my dreams out of my head, I still can recall dreams I had as a kid or a dream I had last week. Today my dreams were tedious, laborious, I woke up feeling really tired and relieved that I don’t have to experience this shit anymore, glad for it to be over.

Okroshka. It can be made with kefir, beer, kvass, plain water or a mix of those things.

Ace gigachad.

Anarcho-capitalism is just (un)glorified feudalism.

China, Iran and Russia are way ahead of you in arming Palestinians.

No, only boomers watch Fox News, young people watch TikTok making it a way more potent weapon.

Formless by Gridlock made me an IDM convert.

I always thought peanuts were nuts and grew on trees. Oh how utterly, devastatingly naive I’ve been…

My favourite one is yet to come. Come on Putin die already.

I don’t even ride a bicycle while I’m on weed, it would be absolute madness to drive a car while high.

What does it matter if it’s a sushi restaurant or a burger restaurant? If you think rolls are getting stale if you order a lot at once you’re absolutely in your right to stagger the orders imo. Looking at your post you have even more than one reason to do this. Even if it’s the chef who’s getting fussy about it he should suck it up and do his job, not argue with a paying customer. You’re just ordering food, and you’re going to pay for it, what should he care if it’s 10 orders of 1 plate or 1 order of 10 plates.

Big Bird was always unsettling to me, even now it still haunts me sometimes.

I spent my some of my childhood in communal housing where we had 1 toilet, 1 bathtub and 1 fridge for 6 families and half of the walls were curtains. My parents and grandparents never told me anything positive about USSR, it was all nepotism and scarcity and “know your place peasant” type of deal, they all thought the 90s was godsend despite banditry, but even they think what is currently happening in Russia (and has been happening for the last decade and a half) is on another level of awful than the worst that USSR had. The most terrifying thing is that soviet cheeses and sausages were absolutely ghastly.

School was a monumental waste of a childhood. Then unis. Now work. It all sucks.

Reading from a tablet, phone or a laptop is pure savagery! Ebook is a must have if you’re any kind of prolific book reader.

Imagine thinking that nationalism is bad in and of itself.

Oh god not the capital letters! I always associate those with bad fantasy.

It’s sometimes just as likely to be completely unrelated coincidences.
