What ethnic cleansing? I’m asking this in good faith, I genuinely don’t know who Ukrainians were trying to eliminate. I’ve vaguely heard that many Cossaks in Eastern Ukraine were pro-Russia because they’d let them have more autonomy, is that what this is about?

Not today, CIA

A smooth criminal!

Very cool

I haven’t seen the movie, but Chihuahua is also a region in Mexico, maybe it takes place between these two places?

Fascists: “At least under Mussolini the trains ran on time!”

Italy under (fascist) Meloni:

Thank you, I’ll try. Tho I’d still be interested to by the answer to my original question, since I might want to change other keybinds later…

Poppy seeds are definetely also a spice tho. And coca is an herb, which I guess can also be used as a spice… Use of coca by native populations seems to have been mostly medicinal… But then again, that’s also how many spices were used until the 19th century.

Saffron is from a flower and is considered a spice tho. It might be the way it’s processed that makes a difference. Regardless, when talking of the East India Company, the spice trade, and how that led to conquests, tea is always an important part of that story.

“Herb” and “spice” aren’t mutually exclusive tho.

Tbf, wouldn’t coffee, tea, chocolate and sugar cane have been considered spices by then’s definition?

Have a day.

Saving this post in case I ever get a date.

I didn’t say it was good in the absolute, but that i5 processor from 2013 was better than the Intel Celeron processor from 2018, I checked. Yeah, my previous laptop wasn’t the best of 2018; neither I or anyone in my direct family knew a lot about computers then.

A few months ago when I had to replace my shitty HP laptop from 2018, I found a secondhand Thjnkpad model from 2013 for 90€ which was better in every way.

Can I go an hour without eating pickles? If I fail, I’m deleting my comment. [EDIT: It was a close one, but I made it ! This comment is here to stay ! Celebratory pickle time.]
