I thought it was fine, if a bit condescending, until #1, with the weird humblebragging and the idea that knowing who Kim Kardashian is is somehow the key to understanding society.
Admittedly, these moments, when the left – broadly defined – stir the passions as effectively as any demagogue of the right are rare. Perhaps the last one we witnessed in Britain came four years ago this week, with Danny Boyle’s opening ceremony for the London Olympics. It showed a Britain that was proud and strong, one relaxed in the variety of all its different faces and open to the world.
and at the time, i was incensed, cuz the whole thing felt insincere and naff to me, cuz it wasn't a showcase of geniune British traditions and the best dramatic and musical talent we could produce, it was a lot of propaganda imagery, and history simplified to fit a narrative
it's weird cuz when i think back to it, there was a lot there that on paper i should have loved, from an ideological standpoint at least, but i guess i just didn't believe it, it felt like they half-assed it
this worries me, this politics of emotion thing. politics of compassion, sure, but people like Trump who put on a show and the facts be damned, that's not ok, that should never be something you get away with
i think of how our MPs seem to think tribalist point-scoring is how you 'win', you need to humiliate the 'enemy', you're not working towards a common cause of finding the policies that are best for the country, and i just get so depressed </rant>
The movie "Chicken Run" was where I first heard the use of the word "holiday" to mean "vacation"
Here holiday just means special days, like Thanksgiving and Christmas, some of which you get off from work and some of which you don't. We just use vacation to describe work-free trips away from home.
i'm pretty sure i first encountered 'vacation' in Saturday morning cartoons, but the first time i had a clear idea what it meant was Pikachu's Vacation and whenever i see that word the theme song starts playing in my head
It seems like every time I see the name "R. A. Salvatore" I think "Oh, the Choose Your Own Adventure guy?" and then it turns out that that was R. A. Montgomery and I'm disappointed
The Race Forever was some fucked up shit if I recall correctly. Had you dying in the forests of Africa and whatnot.

i have heard those terms but we use different ones over here, and the ones we have aren't really used outside catalogues, you just say if it's a 'single' or a 'double' normally
also 'California King' is just a RHCP lyric as far as i'm concerned

I have no memory of how these things were connected, if they were at all
And a double bed to myself.

just curious
what would you call a double bed for couples?
on break
feel kinda sick
double is an "official" sort of bed size that's common over here ime
i didn't watch cartoons on the BBC that often, i saw Rugrats occasionally but probably didn't see that many episodes
