You lost at "metre" :()

It took me a long time to get used to that "cultural feature" of the white American populace, but in the beginning it was very off-putting. I still find it quite lacking in good taste when strangers start talking to me in Spanish, simply because I have dark hair and slightly olive skin. I am, actually eastern European with Asian blood.
The worst was, when at the Airport some African American woman demanded (not asked) that I provide more toilet paper in the restroom. I pointed out my suitcase, and tried as nicely as I could to tell her that I am a traveler just like her, and there is toilet paper in another bathroom stall.
And yes, TSA is an abomination.

Did that one guy just ...lift the back of the car with no effort, to get it unstuck?

I think the poll is having technical problem, the option "First world problem" seems to be clipped and not visible.

I would not want to walk around with that, no matter how well it worked. Just call me old fashioned.

Great idea, but between chalk on sleeves and kind of an eyesore, I don't think I would want one in my house, to be honest.

Indeed, great talent, great man. We miss you, Harpo!

Your kid is either extremely lucky, or extremely brilliant, since she is apparently depicting an epic battle with a Beholder. They way I see it, what happened is, she was in a dungeon, and came across a Beholder. She is apparently a spellcaster, and since Beholders are inherently immune to magic, she must have rolled a solid 20, to set off some sort of a mirror spell, probably blinding it's eye (so it could not cast any anti-magic spells), and apparently was able to get off a second spell to dispel it.
Brava, little mage, brava!

Wow, a Bikini line hair removal tool, circa 1878, and in sucha great condition!

My inner parent can't keep quiet:
"Statues from cheese?! While there are starving children in Africa?!"

Ok, Im done.

Being a mom of a 2 yo boy, I can totally understand "wanting to lay down and die". That's always my fear that somehow he will get out and wander out in the street.
Im so installing a lock like that on my doors. lol

Since I happen to live in a country of overabundance of luxury and complacency, I think a little mercy towards those who are at their lowest would help everyone. Who cares how they come to be that way? what if by showing them the basic acknowledgment as human beings we actually make a difference in their lives?
Id pay my taxes towards that.

This was great, Ive always liked all sorts of markets, so a really entertaining report. Id love to see one in real life.

Ever took one of those tests, hoping secretly to score higher than others?
I only got 24% :/
I think Im going to have to get a dog.
