It doesn’t seem completely crazy to me that it would be better for money to go to successful projects than just be sprayed like a fire hose in hope that you land a Facebook or Google sized moonshot.

Of course it sucks for the people that lose their job, but presumably that money should go towards sustainably growing things where they could work.

I mean, I’m just totally speculating but it seems to me immigrants who came here as anti-communist refugees tend to be somewhat more right wing than immigrants who came in search of labor or family reunification. They’re like the Asian Cubans.

I’m genuinely unsure because I wasn’t persuaded to try to stop eating meat until someone came along and presented as something good for me in a persuasive way. All the extremists ever did was force me into a corner where I’d strike back out at them and not really give a fuck.

I hate to admit it but from an amoral point of view this seems to be something Trump really showed that shamelessness is a virtue in politics. Never apologize just keep plowing forward with whatever your bullshit is seems to be for the most part the way to go especially on a right-wing group. Left wing groups have to deal with more diversity and you probably can knock some support off that way, whereas RW groups are hurt by the apology more than the outrage.

(including ones that aren’t Indian!). My stepmom is Chinese and the first time I cooked something for my dad and her she was almost offended if I asked if they had ginger. She was like never ask a Chinese person if they have ginger just ask where’s the ginger.

I use outlook on the iPhone and the gmail and outlook websites on my desktop.

Outlook does a good job of presorting my mail so I’m not bombarded with all the read at your leisure emails.

It turned out really fucking good for a meal I made wholly by the seat of my pants.

This inspired me to make a completely different Sesame Tofu for dinner tonight.

It’s always bothered me that she blames what’s her name and not Joe Jonas. It seemed like he left, performs better dissing Taylor and talking about how his new girl is better and then Taylor yells at new girl.

But also this song slaps and is a bop.

The funny thing is I’ve kind of gone full circle and I’m back to reading more pop criticism. And I kind of suspect if I just said fuck it and bought CDs and ripped them myself Amazon would do better than any of these streaming services. I get pretty okay book recs from them.
