I mean, I gave the whole Marie Kondo craze its fair share of crap... but she's very right that

"THIS DOES NOT SPARK JOY"

is an extremely powerful sentiment that should largely be heeded.

Someday a lot of these people are going to come to some form of realization that they could've made a sandwich, or a salad, or a taco, or fried rice, or a soup & gotten literally all of the benefits they want without resorting to making food into a joyless self-punishment slurry.

"The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada & permanently eliminate the Stanley Cup"

NOT TRUE!
The Stanley Cup will not be "eliminated," but merely repurposed as tribute to reforge the ไน้ผŽ of Sovereignty that were once lost

China respects barbarian ice rituals!

War is always a dirty thing, but this one dirtier than most.
Even so... someone's gotta sell it...

I got a 12 hr suspension for telling this guy his wife had every right to kick him in the balls before divorcing him for doing this.

No regrets.
He deserves to get kicked in the balls.

something that these types really should (but probably never will) realize is that, no matter how good, or correct, or righteous their theorems/analyses may be... if all they can do is browbeatingly bray it in navelgazing jargon like a hee-hawing jackass, they've already lost the audience at word-1.

I could literally recite the full lyrics of "Cruel Angel's Thesis" or "The Real Folk Blue" at the drop of a hat, and give you a pretty comprehensive running translation from sheer memory & that was way before I learned even my pre-school level Japanese.

To reject the US as a fundamentally American country with a deep shared history and commonality with the rest of the Americas, including that Spanish has long been our de facto national second language, is on a deep level anti-American. It's hating actual American culture and history and tradition.
