Dude missed the easy comeback: "No, I meant generally."

Edit: Just to clarify: He started it, and they both sound rude. I was just making a joke.

Allow me to translate: "We don't want people who won't eat our shit with a smile."

Never a dull day in the wang biz

I was staying at hostel in Switzerland. I clogged the toilet. I went to the front desk for help. The desk person followed me to the bathroom, took a look, said "It's too big," chuckled, and then just went back to the desk. I ended up doodie knifing it with a wire hanger.

It's not about right vs left. It's about totalitarianism vs pluralism.

Let's be honest, if there is a global apocalypse and the only people left are the billionaires in their bunkers, how long are they really going to hang around doing their own laundry, eating canned food, and watching reruns?

Fun fact about people in Stalin's Gulags: they used to write him letters begging for release, believing they had been imprisoned in error, and not realizing he was the one who sent them there.

The thing about Stephen King is he doesn't usually plan his stories. He just writes and goes where it takes him. Hence, they sometimes go to funny places.

Dogs are more domesticated than cats, hence they care about more things that humans care about than cats. Cats, despite being only slightly less domesticated, still retain more of their sense of independence - though it sometimes feels like they are just kidding themselves - like they know deep down they aren't wildcats prowling a jungle, eating only what they kill, but they like to maintain that mental image.

I uploaded a Hajime Sorayama image and ask for a variation on it.

These people are so strange. We live in this big, complex world filled with variation, and they are like: "No! Everything must be only one way!"
