It's worth remembering that something like 5% of the population is sociopathic. That's a lot of people who are morally compromised.

Ehh ... It's more likely etiquette to not descend on the rolls like a starving Labrador retriever. Much of manners is about self restraint and making oneself 'small'. The idea is that you wait a minute or two, so it's not like being at the Chinese food buffet when a fresh load of sweet and sour pork comes out. Everyone piling in for the rolls is undignified. It's related to the idea that even if you really want that last roll, you ask if anyone else would like it before snatching it for yourself.

... but judging someone for grabbing one when they come out? Pretty prissy.

I liked Shyamalanamans "The Last Airbender." I started hearing how everyone thought it was terrible, and I've kept my secret until now.

Are they all the same woman? I can't tell.

... but do you know how many times I was going to go for a run, but then I got high? This is one of those things where maybe it enhances your performance ... IF you perform.

All I'm seeing is that somehow a lab was trained not to eat. Doubt.

Lol! This is pretty well the cycle for dismissive-avoidant attachment style.

Ivy League schools were never about education. They've always about making connections with other elites.

I love how they're like, "Alright, Zhīfùbǎo, I'm so fucking tired of you losing the lids to our tea pots!"

Ok, but seriously. Why exactly was a ninja turtle hanging out with Vanilla Ice at a Republican rally? That's like some fever dream shit and I don't get how they all fit together.

Ok. Thanks for confirming that, and answering my second unasked question. I'd wondered if it was a legacy of Alexander's conquests, but doubted because I didn't think he made it as far as Bengal, though I wondered if it was a Greek linguistic relic that got naturalised into Hindi/Bengali. It's Sanskrit; makes more sense.

Means, "is the city", yeah? Like, the Greeks just referred to it as The City?

Pretty unrelated, but I always wondered if the -pur ending for Indian cities was a cognate of -polis.

 

I rather randomly picked up the first four books in this series a couple decades ago when I was in France. It was a rather new experience for me as a Canadian to read a graphic novel with adult content. It is funny! I also learned a lot of vernacular and adult French in the process. Plus, I really liked the vibrant art.

The Trolls are awesome.
