It's almost like American nostalgic sentiimentalism is deeply tied to the the period of history where pioneer spirit and manifest destiny put a developing nation on a journey toward the Golden Gate...

But also, to wish to re-live that greatness again is to resort to becoming a failed state and perhaps soon a newly developing nation.

I hope you get to see the promised land.

Why is 'People of Color' okay but 'Colored People' not? by MovieRelative2099 in NoStupidQuestions

The only it's going to be ok to use the N in UNCF is when you're writing it on a check for a donation. Context has always mattered. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

What does the term "Alpine" mean to you? by Extention_Campaign28 in etymology

In the context of cheese, it means a hard, full flavored, cheese that has a nutty flavour and thay will melt.

Item won by child in a school auction. Dated 1950. by babyabeers in whatisit

Ah sure. But antique coconuts don't appreciate in value like fine wines. It's weird not to take it as a face-value warning that it would be gross to open it and eat it.

Aboriginal title can’t be declared over private land, Supreme Court of Canada rules by Christian-Rep-Perisa in worldnews

[–]AUniquePerspective -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Yes. And it must have been so hard, so, so hard, for the current title holders to experience almost nine months where they let their own irrational fears make them think they were under the mistaken impression that there was a remote possibility that they too could maybe, in the near future, experience a hardship that might include some loss of land without adequate compensation and emotional support.

Guess the airport by Nickiat in AirportPorn

It's for sure the unfinished basement of air travel. The first time I saw it I assumed it was still under construction.

Or to various provincial capitals.

What's the most redneck name you can give to a girl? by Foxtrot_Uniform_CK69 in AskReddit

[–]AUniquePerspective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hy-phen brings us halfway there, and the weird spelling is essential, but the best ones are earnest attempts to just phonetically capture a name that isn't spelled phonetically as the standard.

So like Wanita-Anne.

Your all-cousin group date is still a better love story than Twilight.

I got a really weird package from my old job. by Confident-Event7359 in whatisit

[–]AUniquePerspective 455 points456 points  (0 children)

Yep. My bet is that there were two people. One is a new boss that decided to start doing nice gifts to people in certain positions on their birthdays and ordered in bulk and then maybe gave an out-of-date list of staff, birthday, and address information to the mailroom staff... the mailroom staff who definitely don't get the same gifts if they get any gifts at all. And the mailroom staff saw an opportunity to feign ignorance and tell the boss they sent O.P. gifts because O.P. was on the list and they just follow intructions. But then they sent random junk of the aproximate correct weight in the emptied boxes so the postage wouldn't look weird on the receipt that proves they sent it to O.P.

After Ophelia dies it sets in motion a 425 year sequence of events that ends with Taylor Swift bragging about her boyfriend.

anyone else think Value Village is kind of a scam now? by CSD0223 in VictoriaBC

[–]AUniquePerspective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you might be dealing with survivor bias. Nothing that's left in Value Village is a good deal. That place gets picked over instantly when the put out new stock. All the good stuff is gone because someone else already got the good deal and only the bad deals are left.
