Someone needs to make a website that tracks the British Empire giving their “trinkets” back to the original cultures.

I would, but I’m lazy and already came up with the idea so I’ve done my part.

Wait. Call it Tipu’s Tiger for the irony derision. Boom. That’s two good ideas. Get on it, nerds.

You may appreciate a song by The Weakerthans called Virtute the Cat Explains Her Departure. It’s part of a saga of sorts they released over time, sung from the perspective of the songwriter’s pet cat named Virtute. They’re arguably depressing—and also arguably positive—but this one specifically is about Virtute not ever knowing her name or anything, just “the sound you found for me” which was her connection to the songwriter.

Sometimes my cat friends pspsps to get my dog’s attention. It doesn’t work and I can see their souls crush a little.

“No, no. Like this… Oi! Dickhead!”

dog comes panting over all stoked to get pats

Why March? Because that’s when Russia will “vote” for “president” in a national “election.”

Writer getting some humour into the gloom.

The irony that next to each other, left to right or right to left, looks like before and after transition shots.

I’m sorry, but how the fuck does an early teen with disability and an IQ of 71 manage to outdo the parents so much that they go to the police about it?

Are they unicellular organisms or is he just the family genius?

The small bit of happiness that the brothers managed to live is completely nullified by the fact a person was still mudered and they were a stranger rushing to the first brother’s aid.

I can only hope it was quick. A soul like that deserves the best of us; not this.

Thr Jewish people were subject to genocidal practices 80 years ago.

A half circle is a 180.

Being that it is Jewish people now doing it to others. And other parts of the world trying to stop them (SA).

With that in mind, your comment implies the Israel government is committing genocide first before genocide can be committed on them again, and that this is good and that I’m against it which is bad.

I think you’ve not understood before commenting.

Half circle in 80 years, eh?

I just read and ask locals or online communities, these often tell you the tourist traps to avoid, which are mostly on a company guide list. All the while how to act, what not to.do, what to look out for,.etc. It’s a much more enriching experience. If not with friends,.I’ve teamed.up with backpackers, hotel strangers, and locals I’ve met at bars or online to go around seeing/doing things and exploring.

Tour guides aren’t needed. Nor their buses, speakers, queue cutting, vantage point hogging, street blocking, etc.

They don’t really do anything. They see the catered for attractions, on schedule, with no freedom, pissing off the public along the way. Hence things like this obviously happen.

You want to do something with a group of people? So, go do something with a group of people. Don’t do it with tourist guide companies. If you struggle to fathom such a simple concept, you probably shouldn’t be travelling amongst other cultures and areas yet before reading a bit first. That should be Step 1 of touring anyway, just in case that concept somehow has eluded anyone. It’s called basic respect.

Unless a remote location, tourist groups should be banned everywhere. Also the people that choose go on them.

He looks like a poorly aged Squall Leonhart in that thumbnail.
