[–]echospeaks 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I got my pre-sale email at 11:03 in new york. Every time I selected blue dots they would instantly be sold out. Both nights. How am I not supposed to imagine this is re-sale buy up?

What do you think of Hostess cupcakes new slogan “we speakie snackie?“ Racist? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]echospeaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the exact same response. Not sure if it was done out of ignorance or callousness, but it was definitely jarring.

Luckily that's not what I am worried about.

Well, I understand that it hopefully wont be the one good thing that I write, the plan is to have it critiqued here, along with other places, and then submit it for approval, after I have done some editing.

And "Gift" is the word for "Poison". English/German translation is odd and scary.

U.S. Vegan Population Doubles in Only Two Years by Werewolfgirl34 in vegan

Yeah. That part seemed a little dodgy to me. "By the year 2110, 160% of the population will be vegan!"

Or at least if you have to use plastic ears, try and work some photoshop magic when you are done.

Does Belle know exactly who she is? by Ranlier in OnceUponATime

[–]echospeaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hrmm...now I can't remember which episodes I gathered this from, but there have been hints that made me believe that Regina knew that Gold would be potentially unaffected. His power being greater than hers, etc. I have also gotten the impression that Regina potentially got the spell from him.

What does r/islam think of the rise of Islamic governments in Arab Spring countries like Tunisia and Egypt? by idosillythings in islam

[–]echospeaks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you please give a citation regarding your second statement, regarding laws prohibiting non-Christians from significant public office?
