    Putin

    Trump

    Kim Jong Un

    Netanyahu

    All heart attacks, all at the same time. Play like Light except with world leaders. Undoubtedly I’m missing many, but I could add as needed. Minimal text size to leave space.

    No public statements so I’m harder to trace. Then I save the page. If a world leader pulls some horrendous shit, down they go.

    It would be flawed for the same reasons Light is, and it would be biased to my viewpoints, but I don’t care. I cannot imagine the world would be a worse place with those people dead. And eventually people would spot the pattern and then leaders might think twice.

    Although for the planet overall maybe it’d be better to use it for eco-terrorism





  • It is not unclear. It requires a basic understanding of words which you seem to finally have figured out.

    If it only required a “basic” understanding why would so many people have been making the same point to you?

    If a headline says “x group did a crime” and someone responds “y group are criminals” it is not at all obvious what this person’s stance on x group is. If anything this reads like a deflection onto y group, so someone might infer that the responder supports x group or at least is more concerned about y group.

    If the person says “yes, x group did do a crime but let’s not forget y group are criminals too” then it is super clear what this person means. If you omit a response to the actual topic at hand you have no place getting mad when people assume you don’t care about that.







  • This plus a large network of amateur and professional astronomers who would almost certainly see any kind of craft coming towards the Earth and especially into the atmosphere. It could be that aliens came back before this was common and kind of … hung around? Undetected. I don’t buy it.

    They almost certainly exist. But they are not here.


  • I think you could just ask something like “what are some of your favourite world cuisines excluding the obvious ones?” and then explain what you mean.

    Apologies though, I guess this is just because it’s not your first language, what you said makes sense it’s more the connotations of the phrase. I think someone also posted a gif making a similar joke. Probably the best straight up alternative without the connotations would be “world food/cuisine.”

    North Korean! Would love to try it but I guess similar to South Korean food?


  • I don’t want to go through all but some of the more interesting ones:

    Ethiopian - delicious stew/curry type food with this fermented flatbread stuff that almost smells a bit like beer. Way better than this makes it sound, lol

    Vietnamese - if you like Chinese food you will love it. It’s somewhere between Thai and Chinese. They have an awesome beef noodle soup called pho

    Jamaican - my family is partially from here so bias but jerk chicken is worth a mention alone. Very well spiced and usually super juicy chicken. Meat and rice type of stuff. But ackee and saltfish is interesting too, very salted cod mixed with this subtle flavoured fruit that looks a bit like eggs? Again better than it sounds.

    Moroccan - If you’re interested in Egyptian food (I also have no idea what that would be, lol) Morrocan is probably a good recommendation. They have a dish called tajine which is a well spiced chicken stew, they cook it in a special pot I think

    Mexican! - I know it’s obvious but in Europe Mexican restaurants are very basic. Tacos, burritos etc. But there are so many amazing dishes like mole (chocolate and chilli sauce, fucking delicious) that always get missed. There’s one called queso relleño (?) That is basically like a very rich Bolognese wrapped in cheese and FRIED. Probably best not to eat too often. But maybe you guys in the US get more authentic Mexican food anyway

    Also, saying “ethnic foods” comes across a little odd. Makes you sound like a 50 year old white guy who’s never left his home town and isn’t so sure about all this weird food these strange brown people eat. Nothing wrong with being white or culturally insulated of course, but probably not the look you were going for. Might explain the downvotes.
