#319 - Opium War 4: Peddling the Drug Peddlers' War
War is always a dirty thing, but this one dirtier than most.
Even so... someone's gotta sell it...

Someday a lot of these people are going to come to some form of realization that they could've made a sandwich, or a salad, or a taco, or fried rice, or a soup & gotten literally all of the benefits they want without resorting to making food into a joyless self-punishment slurry.
this "boy kibble" thing is clearly coding any enjoyment of the aesthetic of food as feminine and more importantly, another step toward a culture where people view the joy of cooking as incompatible with daily life: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/s...
Move Over, Girl Dinner. Boy Kibble Has Arrived.

"The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada & permanently eliminate the Stanley Cup"
NOT TRUE!
The Stanley Cup will not be "eliminated," but merely repurposed as tribute to reforge the 九鼎 of Sovereignty that were once lost
China respects barbarian ice rituals!

He belongs in a mental hospital. Truly.
And while attacking Canada *AGAIN* like a deranged maniac he kisses Putin’s ass non-stop and allows him to murder people every hour.
The part in here about hockey is quite literally insane.

I got a 12 hr suspension for telling this guy his wife had every right to kick him in the balls before divorcing him for doing this.
No regrets.
He deserves to get kicked in the balls.

I could literally recite the full lyrics of "Cruel Angel's Thesis" or "The Real Folk Blue" at the drop of a hat, and give you a pretty comprehensive running translation from sheer memory & that was way before I learned even my pre-school level Japanese.

Fascinating.

To reject the US as a fundamentally American country with a deep shared history and commonality with the rest of the Americas, including that Spanish has long been our de facto national second language, is on a deep level anti-American. It's hating actual American culture and history and tradition.

Truly Incredible that we’re living in the era of $8 million “look at your piss” ads & “check your prostate” ads at the same time.

It was a performance that modeled literally every positive social value the people who refused to watch it claim to adore, so they could instead watch a cosplay trailer-trash nepobaby drawl about statutory being mandatory.
