I live 2 streets away and have never been. What’s so good about it?

Bloody AusPost left my parcel up a fucking tree.

What happened to McAfee exactly?

A mistake you only make once a day.

Meth is everywhere.

Tibetans told VICE World News that the meaning of this common expression used to tease and teach children is completely lost in cultural interpretation and its English translation. The correct phrase in Tibetan for this joke is “Che le sa”, which roughly translates to “Eat my tongue.” English is the Dalai Lama’s second language and Indian news outlets have previously reported that the leader speaks in broken English at public events.

In a Youtube video, Jigme Ugen, a second-generation Tibetan refugee living in the U.S., explains how this display of affection was born out of a game played between the Tibetan elderly and children. Kids who go up to their grandfather, for instance, are asked to kiss their grandfather’s forehead, touch their noses and kiss them. 

“Then the grandfather] says that I’ve given you everything so the only thing left is for you to eat my tongue,” Ugen said. “The child probably never gets the candy or money but gets a beautiful lesson about life, love and family.”

tl;dr: A harmless translation issue.

A public company should totally be allowed to ban someone for hate.

Why wait until they commit a heinous act to try to stop the spread of them?

Why the fuck apologise for that? Did some bigoted fucksticks get upset? Good.

They should rebrand to Mariland

Sounds like a good move.

Anyone who may be harmful to others has an exception, so there’s no risk cops won’t say try to stop a kid with a knife trying to murder others.

And any of the children are still going to get their details taken down, it’s not like they’ll escape this ever catching up with them just because they don’t get locked up on the day.

This way a lot of it can ideally be chased up by more appropriate social workers, and with proper training compared to cops on the street.

Not to mention everyone has a camera in their pocket whereas before no one would believe you or be able to share the story far.

That literally tells the story of a people’s losing their livelihood due to capitalist usage of technology, and targeting the technology instead of the systemic issue.

Spring shoes sound less useful on a horse.

Horse people is not the preferred nomenclature. Centaur, please.

If capitalism is shit you attack capitalism not a technology.

All the misplaced rage and wasted effort.

Aren’t horses expensive as fuck to keep?

Laptop mobo sounds like overkill for retro gaming compared to a pi clone or some such.

Karaage is basically Popcorn Chicken.
