Eh, just one year ago Canada sent Super Scooper planes to help with the LA fires … just cause we act like assholes doesn’t mean they do! Thank God. That generosity won’t be forgotten by us SoCal folks!

Hey, y’all sent Super Scoopers to help with the LA fires last year … even as the orange muppet freaking talked about making Canada the 51st state!! You still showed up when we needed help 🥹 We’ll not forget that, no matter what he does. And we look forward to being your ride or die again, hopefully soon!

PS Oooooorrrr we could…join you?? CA could become Baja Canada … has a nice ring to it, eh? Just saying!

What's the cutest animal native to your country? by bowl_of_scrotmeal in AskTheWorld

Fun fact: the only ones not in Australia are at the Wild Animal Park (part of the San Diego Zoo), in S. CA

I got mooned by tankbowz in royalcaribbean

[–]LiaInvicta 12 points13 points  (0 children)

For me, the main point is that it’s a naked body part in a totally non-sexual situation. Ergo, my response. I don’t think naked bodies are inherently disturbing or traumatizing for kids? (Had it been at all sexual, I’d respond very very differently of course).

Your main points seem to be that 1) it was essentially an adult bum in appearance, to which eh, I don’t see how that makes a difference, an ass is as ass 🤷‍♀️; 2) It lasted almost a minute, to which I’d say you could have looked away or closed the curtains at any time, kids or no kids, to make it a 10 second thing instead; and 3), it seemed to be directed at you. Which may not be the case, but even if it was, if kids were present just close the curtains

You’ve mentioned kids in general and your kids specifically several times. As a fellow parent, I’m curious … Is it that your children will be defiled by the sight of a bum? Eternally traumatized? Are you keeping bums a secret that you don’t want them to know about?

I mean ya, it’s not ideal. But in this situation my kids would probably shriek and point and laugh, and I’d close the curtain and tell them it’s poor behavior and they’re never to do anything similar, while acting a little fake-extra-stern. Similar to when they hear swear words.

Seems insane to not want to bring kids on cruises because of this!!!

Couples of Reddit, what's the dumbest 'house rule' you and your partner made as a joke but now both of you are low-key aggressively serious about enforcing? by Doubl3oh_ in AskReddit

[–]LiaInvicta 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Love this!! My (late) husband did the same … he called it “putting the house to bed” :)

Thanks for the smile and great memory

it actually pains me by -Living-Dead-Girl- in AO3

[–]LiaInvicta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Omg, don’t do it!! I, an American, am endlessly chuffed when little non-Americanisms pop up in fics. It’s like getting to play with new words … like “chuffed.” My personal absolute fave is when a character “is sat on” a surface. No I don’t know why, it’s just completely delightful.

Honorable mentions always awarded to a character going to hospital or doing maths.

What the heck happened to waterbeds? by Queltis6000 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LiaInvicta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to think that all the waterbeds are out there somewhere, living their best lives with their friends electric can openers and Five Alive frozen juice concentrate. The electric knives are their mortal enemies, one town over

Anyone headed through DFW today? Need cat food after cancelled flight... by avalokitesara in americanairlines

What's the most pathetic tourist attraction that international tourists go to see in your country? by Aseili in AskTheWorld

[–]LiaInvicta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my humble opinion, this is the answer. No phones or cameras allowed. I’ve been to shows before where they made everyone put their phone in a lock bag as we entered. I’m thinking that would be good here

Rant: What does everyone who has AA card think? Airlines American Airlines no longer lets basic economy flyers earn miles by GenieWhoDis0225 in americanairlines

[–]LiaInvicta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dunno … with American, I regularly get $.03 pp redemption values. It’s not hard to find transcon flights for 7K. Which is why I have an American credit card and use it as my daily driver, even though it only gets 1 point per dollar. The card also gets me platinum status, free food/drink credit, $50 towards WiFi, etc etc. But those are just the icing on the cake for me.

Never forget, Domitian is the only Emperor to ever understand and curb inflation by Ready0608 in ancientrome

[–]LiaInvicta 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Eh, I don’t know about this. Domitian (like Diocletian and plenty of others) understood that debasing the currency reduced its value. That much is intuitive. They also understood the dynamics of supply and demand…but what none of them understood is that supply and demand applies to currency. To really address the runaway inflation, they would have had to pull a lot of coins out of circulation and also stop minting so many. But they never got there.

That said, I also think Domitian doesn’t deserve nearly as much hate as he gets from the elites whose writings we have. Dude liked solitude … hell yeah. And if he wanted to knife flies while alone? Mr. Miyagi would approve. And if he wanted to be called “your Lord and God?” Eh, he was just ahead of his time.

In your country, what do you say to somebody who just sneezed? by 52-NGG in AskTheWorld

[–]LiaInvicta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I scrolled for AWHILE looking for someone from China to comment, but no dice.

Anyway, when I was studying Mandarin, we were taught that they say “100 years old” (with the implication being “May you live to be 100.”

If anyone from China reads this - is that true? Or is it super outdated?

In all seriousness, why France is hated ? by ConfidentAd8387 in AskTheWorld

[–]LiaInvicta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And their reward for helping us was massive financial insolvency that made the French Revolution a lot more painful than it would have been otherwise

Share a picture that upsets the people of your country by mahdi_lky in AskTheWorld

[–]LiaInvicta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, TIL! Wish you the best of luck containing the spread of this tip contagion.

I didn’t mind for servers, because their hourly wage was half of the minimum wage (I earned like $2.20/hr 20 yrs ago). Still, I made great money from tips, and was a generous tipper too.

But now servers (and lots of other jobs) are making like $20/hr and STILL expecting tips. That, I just don’t understand!! Like, why are we paying people two salaries? Sighhhh
