I always took that line (the whole song, really) as sarcastic shots at colonial arrogance rather than sincere superiority - like, sung with a nudge and a wink of "better them than us, right?" to make the listener think? Like Bruce Hornsby's "That's Just The Way It Is"...? (I'm probably wrong.)

This post is how I caught the news, Laurel. So, so sorry to hear. Post as much or as little as you want - whatever you want to do to feel supported. (You've got a bunch of us out here who care about you!)

Thank you! I'm kinda surprised to step through the doors and discover this place is real. :) I'll take any tips/advice (including an explanation of how this relates to the Mastodon-like domain names for our handles - is that the hip thing these days?)

My daughter works at a noodle-themed fast-casual chain and mentioned yesterday that they just got some sriracha packets back in stock (for the first time in weeks), they keep them behind the counter, and are carefully rationing them. (I had no idea a shortage had returned!)
