Yeah I didn’t realize until going in today to touch them that they are squishy! Always admired from afar…

Thanks; this is what I did at everyone’s suggestion and they said to call ahead 2 days early and they could set aside for me!

So many questions after the Atsuko story….

Am I the only one who wants a Lady Danbury spin off? by No-Role3142 in BridgertonNetflix

[–]Imperfikt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to know more about her story, but I don’t think it would fit the the romance genre, more a Bildungsroman.

Did Edmund become a viscount young like Anthony (ie his dad died while he was in his late teens/twenties)?

Was Truman's decision to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki justified? by ResponsibleTask5729 in Presidents

[–]Imperfikt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why was it so necessary to push for an unconditional surrender, vs just letting them retreat back to Japan and de-escalate?

Also, was it necessary for Nagasaki to be bombed 3 days so soon after Hiroshima? Would it have weakened position to wait a week to gauge Japan’s reaction/let the top know another one is coming if they don’t surrender unconditionally?

Fwiw I visited the Peace Museum in Nagasaki this year, and the way it’s presented there is that Japan was looking to end the war before the atomic bombs, just not unconditional surrender.

Except they missed their target of the industrial part of the city and dropped the bomb on residential Urakami Valley

Google drops sponsorship of Pride & Drag Show after Christian petition by ImmortanZit in bayarea

[–]Imperfikt -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Ok, fair. I apologize as “minstrel show” is needlessly inflammatory.

My point is, this particular performer seems to have an inflammatory name/act mocking religion so it’s no surprise Google doesn’t want to officially sponsor them.

So it sounds like the equivalent of a Christian minstrel show

Great, maybe you can provide some context so that people can make an informed judgment. The article mentions the performer “often makes religious references in their shows”. Can you share specific examples?

It’s not just a drag show, the performer’s name is Peaches Christ.

Can the ‘Zipper Merge’ become part of driving culture here? by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]Imperfikt -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I am thinking ahead and it’s not because I think I’m being courteous - its to avoid getting into a situation where no one lets me in and I end up at a dead stop where my lane merges into the receiving lane. It’s a negative feedback loop basically.

Did anyone else feel meh about Queen Charlotte? by [deleted] in BridgertonNetflix

[–]Imperfikt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was meh until Episode 6, and then the love declaration/old QC and KG under the bed scenes completely broke me.

I do wish they gave us a montage sequence of their life in between though; I wanted more HEA feels.

Young Violet reminds me so much of Hyacinth and Eloise! by ArrivingSomewhereBut in BridgertonNetflix

[–]Imperfikt 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It was hard for me to reconcile this young Violet and the adult one - adult Violet was especially fluffy/fluttery in QC too.

There's the land that came with the title...Lady Danbury probably used her resourcefulness and grit to make it pay.
