I forget who it was, but according to ancestry, I'm related to an old US president 3 different times (dad's great grandad, dad's great grandma, moms great, great grandma). And similarly related to one of the singers of the declaration of Independence, I think from NH on both sides of my family. By marriage I am also related to a couple figures that are very famous in my local area, but I'm not gonna name because self doxxing.

But for real, my family tree has no branches, apparently.

If it makes you feel better, most historical figures were monster, it's just not as well known.

Wasabee. Pronounced the same as wasabi. The logo can be a little bee carrying a backpack delivering the sushi. Wasabi is pretty concretely linked to sushi, spicy things are common/catchy app names, and I'm too lazy to look up registration stuff, but the websites aren't active at least.

Southern US, heard police horse but racehorse is more common. But my family's was always "gotta piss like a pregnant woman" and "gotta piss so bad my back teeth are floating"

One from my childhood in the south, would occasionally hear the adults say "my ___ hurts worse than a whore's knees on nickel blowjob day"

Reread what I wrote. Every government functions under an ideology. Governments do not exist in a vacuum, they are a collection of people, and those people have a more or less unified set of ideals on how their society should function. Yes, ideologies exist only in the mind, but governments are a physical manifestations of that mental construct. Even when there is a major disagreement within a government, such as the division in the US currently, it's still a difference of degrees. No one in the the US government is outside of capitalism, even so-called socialists like Bernie Sanders. The US government functions under the ideology of capitalism. The Cuban government functions under the ideology of socialism. Even if you argue that Cuba isn't actually socialist, they still function under the ideology of socialism. Governments exist because of those mental constructs.

Every government functions under an ideology. Capitalism is an ideology, democracy is an ideology, socialism, anarchism, liberalism, conservativism, they're all ideologies. An ideology is just a set of ideals.

I just finished TLA. I'd never seen it, and now I have, and it's gone, and my life feels empty. Why would you bring this up? Why would you hurt me so?

Korra is good, but it doesn't hit the same, and 70 years is not enough to fully industrialize a society.

Thank you! I'll start looking into it!

Getting my bachelor's online, and I just had to use Chicago style for the first time. I'd only used APA before now.

Holy shit did I love it. Erhmhagerd, it was so great.

Probably should have mentioned I use the air fryer to reheat most things. I have a microwave, but it doesn't get a lot of use anymore. I don't actually have a proper range/oven anymore.
