these are some pictures i took. please don't put in the newspaper that i got mad old photos on an X-T4, new photos on an X-T5. some straight out of camera, some edited, some film (mostly shooting minolta and pentax). chaos reigns
i can't think of any of those dipshits that would do the nixon intervention thing
i have no idea about a number but i think it's non-zero, which is real bad
especially if "we" includes israel
1% extra just for the healthcare. total was not 1% lmao
paying taxes is good. it's the not getting services for it part that people are actually mad about
i was happy to fork over the 1% income tax i paid in south korea in exchange for healthcare
i "get to know" several people a day
i don't know how to read a scare quotes "meet with" other than implied fucking. this probably says something about my brain
there were two or three people in one of my archaeology classes who thought they were there for dinosaurs
hey just bombing harder worked in vietnam so it should work fine here
hold on i'm being handed a note
so adding more things to that pile is bad and this country seems quite dedicated to stacking it as high as it can go
something i learned living outside the US is there's this low level, constant stress going on based around whatever issues are happening where you live and less of that is good. like i'm not sitting around terrified of being street crimed but there's always an echo of that and it makes life worse
definitely not childish nostalgia. part of eliminating diseases is not having to think or worry about them anymore. in principle it's a good thing that people have no idea how nasty measles is
what if they're sending it through a time portal to take on the Achaemenids? gonna feel real dumb then
as a cash preferer it's annoying the list of cash i won't use keeps expanding
it's been a very long time since i've owned a printer so i am admittedly going second-hand, but universal hatred seems to still be the thing
genuinely would love a video exploring how printers are the only piece of computer-related technology that has seemingly never improved. printers were huge pieces of shit when i got my first one in 1993 and they're still huge pieces of shit today
you can also understand outcomes without having the causes nailed down. roman medical knowledge was quite good and had a lot of things figured out in a practical sense without knowing about germs (though there was speculation on that) or what was going on inside the body
yeah i don't see options other than 1) nazi 2) astoundingly poor judgement and shouldn't be given any responsibility 3) dumb as shit and shouldn't be given any responsibility. i don't know which is true but all three have the same answer: nah
chili's also left a bad taste in my mouth
(only been once in an airport at about hour 24 of a 36 hour trip; desperate times)
right wingers: why are these people we've spent decades attacking and demonizing not voting for us???
you're telling me i've just been flushing liquid gold all this time
i'm having a hypothesis here
perhaps... one thing bad... does not automatically mean other thing good??? perhaps two things both bad? more research required
we're just here to deliver these sledgehammers to this grandma running a baozi cart. rapidly
they have nothing comparable to ICE. that's why there's a PAP APC on every corner in the tibetan district. just directing traffic
there was a store a few blocks from me in chengdu that piled up all their korean products on the street and burned them. i lmaoed at the level of butthurt
my favorite part of the health insurance process was after taking off half a day of work to deal with it, watching the insurance agent amazed i was able to copy the approximately 5000 characters needed to agree to the form
i like how this person keeps bringing up healthcare, apparently believing china has universal health care
should probably try reading anything at some point
