If you’re not wearing a tie, how are we even meant to know you’re in the Croatian army?

I have so many communities blocked purely because they’re not relevant to my interests and I like to use the universal feed to find new communities. My block list must be hundreds.

On the plus side, my apartment has four walls and they meet the ceiling.

Took me a while to find the origin of the art, so I thought I’d share it. It’s a copy of an 11th Century mural in the Palace of Westminster, in a room full of biblical illustrations, kind of like an earlier Sistine Chapel. It was whitewashed over, restored, damaged by fire, and later the whole thing was demolished. Nice.

The image is of the Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar II looting Jerusalem (under the reign of Zedekiah, the “last king of Judah”), circa 586 BCE. Note the guys on the left carrying a chest and candlesticks, and the guys on the right with their hands tied and huddled together.

Yus - the traditional cake in Latin America and the Balkans is a descendant of things like trifle or bread pudding usually called tres leches or trileçe (“three milk”) and uses condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk. I think seis leches is a joking extension of that.

Yeah, although sweet-and-sour sauce in the US typically has E129 (Red Dye No 40) rather than E127 (Red Dye No 3), which the FDA are banning. There is a whole bunch of anecdotal correlation drawn between E129 and behavior, though, so it wouldn’t be a huge surprise to see it reviewed in the future.

You’re such pests. In your depths of your ignorance, what is it you want? Well, whatever it is you want, I can’t deliver because I just don’t see it.

You mock now, but when you next need your telephone sanitized…

They can siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinng!

I always find things like this discomforting - on the one hand, you know Morgan will be annoyed if he ever sees it, and there’s enjoyment to be had in that, but on the other hand it suggests that being seen as homeless and/or a woman (and/or the fashion choice, maybe) should be seen as diminishing for him, or an embarrassing state to be seen in. Doesn’t sit right with me.

Only the ones with a brown fieldspot.

I’m all for interesting side quests, but it does hurt immersion a little when High Priest Powervac impresses upon you how urgent it is that you stop The Great Finger Eater and save the galaxy, but you’ve also really got to gather nine forget-me-nots for Widow Stoop and honestly, they’re of equal importance.
