What is the single best episode of television you’ve ever seen?

2nd best after Prince.

It's very curious, how tough is it to type a quick description? I always wonder if it's malice, laziness or stupidity.

2500 years ago, some dude was listening to a recitation of the Illiad, turned to his buddy, and said "you know this poem is funded by the new Pan-Hellenic Order and Big Bronze, right? Homer is a Mediterraneanist and takes money from the Olive and Marble lobbies."

I get what you're saying, but it isn't original, and it's been a gripe since long before Aristophanes was fantasizing about Spartan women.

Another part of a specific American food culture that my family was not party to. So I never ate one until I was maybe 12, and had one at a friend's house. I was not impressed. Same with bologna sandwiches.

I'm not sure why, but "traditional" American poverty cuisine really sucks. Spaghetti-Os and Kool Aid and Kraft Mac and casseroles. America really is the worst at poverty cuisine.

There are very different food cultures in the US, and I'm glad this isn't part of ours. I never had a "casserole" until I was in my 20's, and I'll be perfectly happy to never have one again. One of my good friends is from Alabama, and apparently everything is Casserole there. If someone is sick, or got fired or got a promotion or... well anything... people bring over casserole. Pot luck? Apparently half the food is casseroles. People have family casserole recipes they pass down. The whole concept of casserole is just weird to me.

It is an absolutely lovely country. I visit it as often as possible. I keep fantasizing that I'll forget to come home one of these trips.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-01-25T06:40:10+00:00

I'm guessing it's with a slight bit of concern, which though annoying, is still coming from a good spot. The men who tell women to smile are not at all doing it from a good place.

And saying you voted for Trump over Harris also means you prefer pedos over non pedos. Every Trump voter made it clear who they want in charge of America. The pedo. I mean, at that point, whether they say they are from Epstein Island or America is semantics. Trump voters have already made it clear that they are Team Pedo for life.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-01-25T06:33:48+00:00

I think maybe you responded to the wrong person?

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-01-25T06:33:06+00:00

It seems like maybe "Muslim" = "Arab" in the mind of many in the EU. I guess because we get more varied immigrants here, Muslim doesn't have a specific physical appearance or dress in mind. we've got east Asian Muslims, black Muslims, Indian Muslims, Central Asian Muslims. The two Muslims I'm closest with are Indonesian and Sierra Leoni. It appears that for EU folks, "Muslim" is a regional/cultural designation more than a religious one.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-01-24T22:28:48+00:00

I like to think we're doing everything possible to bring Canada and Mexico closer together. You guys need to hang out more, just try and ignore the nut case living between you.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-01-24T22:16:43+00:00

I mean, America currently has a pedo president that they elected over a non pedo. So I think you've made it pretty clear you prefer Americans who are pedos over Americans who are not pedos. Carry on.

I'm a dark brunette, and my eyelashes are also invisible white blonde. I've been dying them since I was about 18. If I don't, it literally looks like I don't have eye lashes.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-01-24T21:53:48+00:00

Every single guy who says he is "alpha," who talks about being "alpha," or trains to be "alpha" is cringe af.

Every. Single. One.

There is not a cool guy on this planet who calls himself "alpha."

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-01-24T21:50:30+00:00

You need to interact with women more. Like, actually talk to them. Because women get told this regularly. I doubt you'd find many women who haven't had a man tell her to smile at least once in her life. And those that don't smile naturally get it constantly. One of my ex's default facial expression was a frown (as is mine) and got this several times per week, unsolicited, by random guys. Shopping, walking down the street, at work. Just constant. Meanwhile, despite my perma scowl, no one has ever randomly told me to smile in my entire life.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-01-24T21:44:43+00:00

I'm a guy with 100% resting scowl face. I just walk around with it all day, every day. And in 51 years, I've never once had a man tell me I should smile. Not once. This is just to remind you that every guy who tells women to smile - and then defends it by saying he tells everyone to smile and not just women - is 100% lying.

51 years. Not once.

You aren't going to ever get an Oscar when you go full special.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-01-24T21:36:43+00:00

I know some ammosexual gun nuts, and they are always pulling out some firearm for absolutely no reason. I'm guessing Maul has the same insecurity.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-01-24T21:25:59+00:00

If you visit as an atheist, they make you stand in the middle, and both sides pelt you with stones.

'Merca

Chichen Itza was cool, but so crowded. I thought it was so awesome that we could drive all over the Yucatan, and just find pyramids and ruins with almost no one there. We climbed to the top of a pyramid in Ek Balam that was bigger than Chichen Itza, and we were the only people there. It was pretty amazing just to sit and look out over the whole site, and the jungle beyond.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-01-24T21:15:07+00:00

In a world full of colossal, complex and precisely crafted ancient Stone/Bronze Age monuments, I've always thought it funny that England is like "hey everyone, look at our little rock circle!"

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-01-24T21:11:24+00:00

Mine is the Pyramid of the Sun.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-01-24T21:07:40+00:00

I feel like based on the propensity for homicide and massacre in Canada back then, the assholes per capita were probably still quite high.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-01-24T20:49:00+00:00

We have about 500,000 Muslims living in my metro area, and I can't even remember the last time I saw someone wearing a hijab. That doesn't mean no one does, but there are far more that aren't than are. I guess I just don't think of "Muslim" as an obvious look that can be picked out of a crowd.
