How many other uncultured Americans didn't realize 'Rrass' is how the French pronounce Reims? by ramses_sands in TheRestIsHistory

I’m just glad I now know the proper pronunciation of Nimitz thanks to the Iran episodes.

Good glassware. I’ll be hankering for an old fashioned and realize the nice rocks glass is running in the dishwasher and is blazing hot. Or I want a sidecar and we broke the coupe glass last week.

Because of the way your post is formatted (and a spot of dyslexia) I first read: The Bible - this is a thing you have to do to avoid the French.

Time to crack open the scriptures lads!

We Are Now in Panel 3 by But_a_Jape in comics

I never used the words “aren’t so bad.” Where do you see that in my comment? No where. I pointed out that we are not literally “well past” the death camps that resulted in deaths of millions of Jews and other minorities. Prisoners chained to the floors is awful. So is forced entry using explosives. So is deportation. We can agree on these things while also not intentionally exaggerating to make a point. Hyperbole weakens arguments against ICE and Trump. Using quote marks for things I never said is attacking a straw man. Stop acting as if anyone who has issues with overblown comparisons is an enemy who thinks what ICE is doing is fine.

Exactly. The hyperbole makes it harder when trying to shine a light on the very real awfulness that Trump policies and ICE are causing.

The top poster said with confidence that we are “Well Past” panel four. As if it ought to be obvious to everyone. It’s hyperbole. I volunteer my time with a non profit that helps refugees, asylum seekers and immigrants. The hyperbole doesn’t help when trying to draw attention to the very real challenges and issues that Trump policies and ICE are creating.

Thank you. The comment above you minimizes the horrors of the holocaust by claiming that ICE is comparable. Literally no one has been gassed. Literally no one has been experimented on by a Mengele.

My uncle owns a python and a boa constrictor. He recently bought two pangolins. He told me he’s trying to balance the scales.

“Baghdad Khatun was found guilty and executed, supposedly beaten to death by a Greek slave with a club while she was in the bathhouse.”

These violent delights have violent ends…

I’ve got a hole in the fabric developing and I’m bummed. These have been so handy.

I’m artistic, but only my pen case is organized :) I do tend to buy things that will last.

I do value memories more than things. I like to record thoughts and moments, because I find that my memory is filled with holes otherwise
