I need to take a shower. I thought the headline was talking about actual drills, and I could only think “what in the Dr. Evil plot could this mean?”. As if China was going to drill through the ground and dig up Taiwan.

You’re talking about the people who scheme their way to power.

I’m just saying there are definitive qualities that good leaders need. The correct mixture of self-assurance, insight, and humility to ask for guidance on the best way forward and stick to it without crumbling. A “leader” is an organizational role and their proper skillset is in setting the course and ironing put inter-departmental communications so everyone can do what they need to.

But I realize we are straying further and further from your initial comment about populist leaders, like those currently in power.

I’m sure you mean “there isn’t an ability threshold where you deserve to be a monarch”.

But it does sorta read like “no one ever won a race by being the fastest, they win the race because everyone else is slower”. There are qualities that predispose people to leadership.

[I do realize I’m being a bit pedantic]

Is the French more targeted than the translation makes it out to be? Because “stupid bitches” in English is not what I would consider a slur.

I’m just so tired…

Fuck you, Bibi.

We got to get inside the building right when they set it on fire

I feel like aiding war criminals in deleting evidence should get your company destroyed.

Maybe not all of Alphabet unless we can prove this was an initiative started from the top, but Youtube should be diassembled for one-sidedly purging evidence. Hopefully, those accounts kept offline copies.

Yeah, been hearing dope shit about Ireland lately.

Must be “Big Ireland” propaganda.

She has an appropriate amount of eyebrow. To me, the answer is clear.

What?

You sonovabitch, I’ve been eating toast since before sliced bread. I’m basically 98% toast. Even when I get into fights, people can’t help but tell me. /s

(Please note I’m spreading the douche on thick right now, I’m not normally this obnoxious lol)

I tend to have that effect on people.

I take my toast fast and rough. Gentle buttering is for French pastries.

I do #2 when possible but that’s not compatible with the slotted, vertical toasters.

It’s not cutting the butter, mate. It’s spreading it. The toast isn’t structurally sound enough to support vigorous spreading, so you need the knife warm to melt the butter as you go to spread.

You’d know this struggle if you were a real toast-o.

“Silence 2: This Time It’s Quieter”?

Is that anything?

This grievous attack on my person has left me hideously deformed.

Looks like Julia.

Edit: oh…you probably meant Kojima. He does video games.

This took me out at the knees. I was not prepared for this.

Just by proximity of thoughts you are aligning Silksong with a “school play” which is purposely and unquestionably inaccurate. What about the execution of Silksong strikes you as amateur or childish?

At least compare two performances made by people the same ages, if you’re going to feign a reasonable comparison.

You can. Just gotta find the riiight bush. Probably something like poison oak.

It’s itchy.
