Me Being Polite

"If I'm not mistaken" = I searched this topic last night and became an expert so no; it is highly unlikely I'm mistaken

"If I'm right on this specific subject" = I hyper-fixated on this subject so much I may as well be a professor on that so yes I am right

"If I remember correctly" = I have a photographic memory of course I remember everything correctly if it's important

A very short guide to alcohol (for civilised gentlefolk).

Red wine is heavy, and therefore goes with heavier meals, including meats.

White wine is lighter than red wine, and goes well with fish meals.

When eating cheese, port should be an accompaniment. This also goes well with tobacco.

Gin is best mixed with tonic. It works well as a refreshing cleanser of the palate.

When drinking whisky, the taste will often reflect the area in which it is produced (for example, Welsh whisky tastes like sheep shit, Irish whisky tastes of soil, and Scottish whisky tastes of peat. English whisky isn't worth trying).

Never pour more than an inch of whisky, rum, port, pimms, or other spirits into a glass.

When holding a wine glass or champagne flute, make sure to hold the round base of the glass' stem. This ensures that your drink will not become warm throughout the evening.

One should not drink alcohol before luncheon.

Being completely drunk is detestable, but being completely sober whilst drinking is also detestable. Make sure to drink slowly, never on an empty stomach, and always stop when a headache or other pain ensues. Aim for warm tipsiness rather than flat-out-drunk.

Never serve warm alcohol unless its Glühwein.

Defending Jacob is out...

And in doing my lurker/reader thing, I’ve already seen some complaints being made in other places.

Not everyone is able to watch right now where they are. Not everyone who can watch has been able to see the first three episodes yet. (I’ve seen one) Some people know how the story might go because they read the book. But let’s be honest. Even if you read the book, I did, we have no idea what they’re going to do in the show.

But we can be polite, right?

For my part, if something looks spoilery and I happen to reblog it, I’ll make an effort to tag it with #DefendingJacobSpoilers

If I screw up, I apologize. If you want to let me know in the comments or DM me about such if I do, cool. If you send me an anonymous ask saying “welcome to my block list, asshole” like someone did for Knives Out because I didn’t use the right tag for you, I’m going to take it under advisement and move on, upset-free, with my day. No offense intended.   

It costs nothing to be polite.

So I’m hoping those of us with access to the show can keep what happens under our hats. I’m hoping those who are viewing the content who can’t see the show for whatever reason, will understand that they have some ownership in what they stumble across. I don’t think anyone willingly wants to ruin the ride for anyone else.

Thank you. Love you guys. 💖💖💖

Japan has a reputation for being extremely polite and formal. But like any other language, there are Japanese insults and ways to be rude in Japanese.

We should, as a race, just agree not to talk to each other first thing in the morning. Like, wait til everyone has had a little while to wake up. Even my mom, who is a morning person doesn't like to be talked to right away. Just give each other some space.
