I can only speak for myself but I've eaten at Michelin star restaurants all over the world and enjoy fine dining whenever I have the time and I love it, but sometimes I just want taco bell.

Alcohol, on the other hand; good Scotch and wine has ruined the cheap stuff for me. I can't drink cheap, or even mediocre, whisky or wine anymore. If it's not very high quality I'd rather just have something like a gin or vodka cocktail.

I had a similar situation travelling in Ireland with a friend who ordered a black and tan.

If we can verb nouns, we can noun adjectives!

I love these guys, and all the conspiracy or conspiracy adjacent people (as long as they're mostly harmless.)

I'm jealous of all of them. The world they live in is so much more interesting than mine.

Turning off Java script worked when this happened to me. Firefox and ublock origin. It breaks some things but you can do it on a per site basis.

Wasn't there a story recently about a bear in a Chinese zoo everyone thought was a dude in a suit but it turns out that type of bear just looks like that when they stand on two legs?

Me reading this: Don't be for polio...don't be for polio...don't be for polio...Fuck!

The others are bad enough but depriving kids of polio vaccines should have meant jail time.

It's not too heavy. That's "premium feel and materials."

The Clone Wars might have started out for a younger audience (I would say more all ages, it wasn't too kiddy) but it started to have episodes that were pretty heavy after a while. Also, the transformation from "snips" to who Ahsoka is now is one of the best examples of character growth I can think of. Back when it came out if you had told me that annoying little shit would become one of my favorite characters in the entire eu, I never would have believed it.

And on a general note, the eu has always had better stories than the movies anyway.

Now I want to see videos of bees trying to fly in microgravity. Maybe set it to yakety sax.

It used to be that when people talked about hypersonic missiles it was understood to mean hypersonic cruise missile, something that could hug terrain and maneuver. Then Russia and China came out with "hypersonic missiles" that were just ballistic with maybe some minor maneuverability so the term doesn't mean anything until you dig deeper.

Shut the fuck up! Now Vader, he's a spiritual brother, with the force and all that shit. Then this cracker Skywalker gets his hands on a lightsaber, and the boy decides he's goinna run the fucking universe - gets a whole Klan of whites together, and they're gonna bust up Vader's 'hood - the Death Star. Now what the fuck do you call that?
