I’m sure some sea creatures were more than happy to eat pureed human

Yep, it’s called a clitic, and you can’t put emphasis on it the same way you would if you used the full word

Handbags are just bags in Japanese, but a different bag word: 鞄 (kaban)

The hexies are so excited about this too. They’ve got a thread up (erroneously) hoping that Americans will now stop believing that Chinese people are bad, because they can’t face the truth that Americans (who aren’t magats) only think the Chinese government is an authoritarian shit show and have no problem with regular Chinese citizens.

Given that Mark Paul Gosseaar is still alive, I think Ivan was listing 2 things that weren’t true

Holy Jebus

He looks young enough for it to be House but I’m not used to seeing him in a bathrobe. Out of curiosity I just had a look at his post-House shows and he has one called Chance where he plays a forensic neuropsychiatrist. Seems like the show focuses more on one character and her life rather than him solving medical cases though, but I thought I’d stumbled onto House 2 for a second.

It probably relates to your age. When I grew up there were still newspapers (and dinosaurs) and you probably ran across a small horoscope section somewhere in there (especially on or near the comics page), so for me seeing the dates was virtually unavoidable. But I haven’t run across a random horoscope in over 20 years, so if you’re born after the millennium I’m sure it was much less prominent in your life.

I’ve been places in the states where even airports won’t give you a beer before noon. Damn Puritans, ruining things for 250 years.
