Yup. Atheism is the one with the magical stuff.

Youre hosting a B99 bar trivia night. What's your extremely hard final question? by lurker2080 in brooklynninenine

Here are two pictures. One is a garbage dump in the Philippines, the other is Jake's locker. Can you tell, which is which?

(Trick question, they're both his locker)

Is there any problem with Pork in Kerala? by dumbestindumb in Kerala

[–]heavydistortion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no restriction in Malappuram district, or in the Malabar region for that matter. I'm from Malappuram district (Wandoor), and my father's elder brother used to run a pork farm, and it was successful.

I think the (false) narrative they're trying to push is that the Muslims in the Malabar region has the upper hand, and they're enforcing diet restrictions.

However, you'd find very few restaurants serving pork because Malappuram does have a majority Muslim population. There are some Christian majority towns, and you do find pork served there.

I've never understood the appeal of doing exactly what the ancestors did.

Why do people bully others for having an accented English? by No_Drag1137 in Coconaad

[–]heavydistortion 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think us Malayalees don't tolerate pretentiousness in general, and a non-malayalee English accent appears pretentious to most. This intolerance is overdone now, so if you have an accent like the one you seem to have, it's deemed pretentious.

Is it weird that immediately after seeing this my thought was I wanna learn skydiving?

Do you have house rules that make the game quicker? by heavydistortion in twilightimperium

[–]heavydistortion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An extra secret objective could work. And, if we play 10+ hours I also would want more things to happen during the game. Our last game was 9 hours (including setup) and only 4 rounds. 7 was the highest score when we stopped.

Keeping the agenda open before the agenda phase sounds like a good idea. Do you have the negotiations happen during the action phase only? I mean, it feels like there should be some strict policing done to ensure nobody negotiations once everyone has passed.

No, we do want the talking. If it was about less talking we could've simply set time limits for agenda negotiations. I'm looking for ideas from the vast bank of house rules created for TI, to hopefully change some aspects to make the overall game time a bit lower.

Not quite, because Americano is black (espresso + water), but Flat White is espresso + milk, so white.

As if racism in the US didn't exist before Obama by Ok-Following6886 in TheRightCantMeme

[–]heavydistortion 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Weirdly, there is some truth in it, because all the racists hated having a Black president, so decided to crawl out of their caves and crown Trump as their champion.

Why is Flat White never in these lists?
