Big Essential Oil ruining the day again.

I think that was the point. To be silly.

I’d argue we should call all migrant workers expats. Unless they’re literally working in a migratory fashion, spring here, summer there, fall somewhere else, etc.

I always saw expats as something between immigrants and tourists. They aren’t trying to switch countries and they aren’t just on vacation. There’s plenty of good reasons for this category, like being sent somewhere by your employer. This naturally creates a community of foreigners who aren’t necessarily worried about fitting in as a new citizen or permanent resident would be.

But yeah, this idea that Western countries have expats instead of emigrants is weird.

It taught me everything. We rigged their side of town with radioactive bombs. Nothing could possibly go wrong with this plan!

Don’t forget your gun. America is extremely dangerous but only if you’re unarmed. All the criminals and cops can smell if you have a gun and they’ll be too afraid to do anything to you if you have one.

Also you can’t trust our water, so it’s purely Soda and Budweiser while you’re here. Locals might tell you to eat at local restaurants but their stomachs are habituated. You’ll need to stick to McDonald’s. Luckily there is one on every single corner.

If you get injured you should avoid using an ambulance as they will take you directly to a hospital. In the US that’s just where we go to die. You need to drive yourself to an Urgent Care doctor. If you can’t drive yourself and have to use an ambulance then there is a complimentary memorial wreath that can be sent to your family. Along with the invoice for your death care of course.

The US is smaller than it appears on maps. This is because most maps are not American centric and have to expand the US to show the ratio properly. You might have budgeted multiple days to travel between the coasts but you really can just do New York one day and the Grand Canyon the next day.

Did I miss anything? Oh yeah it’s traditional to make a bomb joke with the customs agent as you come into the country. Especially if you can manage a middle eastern accent. All of us do it. It’s a grand joke.

There is no problem, they have their part of town and we have ours.

Shocked. Shocked I am that it was just a political performance. Again.

Are we going to get another USAID report directly contradicting the decision again too?

Fun fact, in this kind of war, the last thing you do is tell the bad guys you know what they’re doing. That’s some Hollywood shit.

Ah okay, thanks for the explanation.

Multiplayer gaming. I love games like Foxhole and they usually have a bit of trouble on Linux.

Until the AI stuff I would have loved to get an upgrade. Now… Not so much. And good thing my computer doesn’t qualify due to their arbitrary standards.

Abraham Lincoln

Well I didn’t just mix the two. I put chili over macaroni noodles. Then I add cheese until it’s just the right mix. The heat of the two causes the cheese to melt into a sauce nicely and everyone can control the mix. I’ve had stuff where people put canned chili over velveeta mac and cheese and it made me want to vomit so it’s definitely something that has to be done right.

Oof thank you though

Sure, but what does that even mean? Because you start with your onion and garlic and build it from there. So in that sense the onion and garlic are the base.

Curry powder.

Whoa now. Whoever said Syrup doesn’t belong on waffles should be kept away from sharp objects.

That’s ChiliMac and we’re going to have to fight now because that’s the highest expression of Chili known to man.

Oh so now we’re on don’t ask don’t tell?

You’re just hitting all the highlights aren’t you?

And no. You don’t get to tell people they have to leave their home. In your rush to fight a Nazi you’re starting to really sound like one.
