I don't respond to asks by trolls.
You want a discussion? Cite sources. Don't come at me in an automatically confrontational way. I'm a trained historian. I'll play if you do that.
You want to annoy a busy woman on the internet for an endorphin high? Go bother a less busy person.
I feel like I need to share this because idk if Europeans are familiar with the presence of Aldi in the US, but at least especially in my area they’ve been growing a lot recently. Like Aldi bought out some local failing grocery chains where I live (Louisiana) and have opened Aldis in all these somewhat rural communities and small towns, which for the record I’m fine with
But as a result of this they are advertising a lot more in my area and also in many cases, the people in these areas have never been confronted with Aldi or any European grocery store. So the ads that Aldi is pushing out to its new US customer base feature a cowboy shopping at Aldi who is explaining to new Aldi customers how Aldi works. Like this cowboy is explaining you gotta put a quarter in the shopping cart and why there are very little name brands. A cowboy is how they want to reach their American customer base. They gave us a cowboy
Here he is, the Aldi Cowboy
He has a Single Quarter Holster, by the way

REBLOGGING FOR LAST COMMENT
Description of a skunk written by a Jesuit Missionary, published 1634 (via Wikipedia):
The [skunk] is a low animal, about the size of a little dog or cat. I mention it here, not on account of its excellence, but to make of it a symbol of sin. I have seen three or four of them. It has black fur, quite beautiful and shining; and has upon its back two perfectly white stripes, which join near the neck and tail, making an oval that adds greatly to their grace. The tail is bushy and well furnished with hair, like the tail of a Fox; it carries it curled back like that of a Squirrel. It is more white than black; and, at the first glance, you would say, especially when it walks, that it ought to be called Jupiter's little dog. But it is so stinking and casts so foul an odor, that it is unworthy of being called the dog of Pluto. No sewer ever smelled so bad. I would not have believed it if I had not smelled it myself. Your heart almost fails you when you approach the animal; two have been killed in our court, and several days afterward there was such a dreadful odor throughout our house that we could not endure it. I believe the sin smelled by Saint Catherine de Sienne must have had the same vile odor.
It's the megacorpness of June, really.
Every time I see that last pic, I have to note that the funniest line is the one immediately after the highlight
We would fully accept any Japanese buckaroo
Foreigners will never understand how someone like Rawhide Kobayashi would immediately become a beloved local fixture in whatever small American town he ended up in.
every single time someone pulls the "How would you AMERICANS like it if someone came to AMERICA and" reversal, the answer is always "we'd fucking love it"
@kurtwagnermorelikekurtwagnerd
Your tags summed up the exact feeling I had about this
I just Googled the Swedish-Japanese guy in the OP, and according to this interview, his Japanese name was given to him by the master gardener he was apprenticed under:
“The family name ‘Murasame’ was given to me by my master. The given name ‘Tatsumasa’ is a combination of ‘dragon’ (tatsu), the [zodiac] year when I was born, and one character from my master’s name,” says Murasame."
So I think maybe it's less like naming yourself 'Brandon McFreedom' and more like moving to the states to work under a veteran car mechanic named Bud McLean, and then having him turn to you after a few years on the job, and say "Son, it's time for you to become an American so you can open up your shop. And when that day comes, I think the world should know you by a new name: McLeo GM Corvette."
Named by his superior by conventions one would apply to a super chill stray cat
After 9 months of work, my Oseberg tapestry sweater is complete!
This was my first sweater knitted in the round, first stranded colourwork project, and my first time steeking. It was definitely my most challenging project so far, and a lot of learning and research was involved. I used a colourwork chart created by the very talented Molly Gifford, which is available for free on Ravelry
For reference, this is one of the fragments uncovered from the gravesite:
Some scholars think that the Oseberg tapestry includes the earliest known artistic depiction of Odin's ravens, Huginn and Muninn. So I added them to the sleeves as a little Easter egg.
My husband asked me to pick out houses for a move we're probably not going to make. At this point in my life I have housing non-negotiables.
Actual a/c
Gas stove
Master bathroom toilet is in its own little room, preferably all toilets are like that
Bathtubs
Indoor laundry, not in the garage
minimal weird-ass nooks
There are probably more.
I'm not one to run down Texas- you know, those people who make a hobby of it, I am not one- but man it's only really recently they have house features I consider civilized there. As in stuff my parents' house built in the early 90s came with here.

"Surely this will have negative consequences for vast entertainment conglomerate!"
I wish. Never happens. Like I really, really wish it worked that way but it doesn't.
I guess Euphoria ends with a call to virtue, but I have to say showing off vice in a titillating way for years is not really the best way to do that. I guess if the writer(s) had a conversion in the middle of it makes sense to have gone this way but the clips I saw always bordered on...well.
I don't begrudge that Debra Wilson is in everything at all but could they at least model the characters she voices not on her? Also they do her dirty every time, she does not look that busted.
