Depends on the Zappa song, some are great while others make you wish he’d just shut up and play his guitar.

Examples: Catholic Girls while great music the lyrics make one sick. Meanwhile Camarillo Brillo and Joe’s Garage great (though the cover art for Joe’s Garage, much less so (Frank really enjoyed being a shock jock and pushing at what could be said)).

I prefer the term “got Ceresed”, but yes. That’s happened.

I read and continue to interpret the definition as “discrimination of someone as a Jew for being of the quality Jewish” regardless of how Jewish they actually are.

The “Jews as Jews” to put the focus on the perceived identity in the eye of the discriminator.

To link back to your examples, people persecuted, murdered, by the Nazis and their allies for being perceived as Jews fits the definition as the motive for persecution was “Jews as Jews”, not for (pardon the stereotypes coming but examples of not Nazi enough viewpoints coming) “Jews as having curly hair” or “Jews as being Communists/traitors”, but the perceived Jewishness itself. Regardless of reality.

It was once, but got kicked out due to new discoveries and equations I’m not smart/mathematically trained enough to understand.

Since Spain now, iirc, recognises Israel’s actions in Palestine as a crime against humanity if it goes to a Spanish court then they might have decent odds on being able not have to pay.

If they take it to a Dutch or Swiss court then I don’t think they could avoid having to pay.

Unless it’s infrastructure or something with a natural monopoly.

The main competition with steam is buying physical copies of things. If we want to support retailers selling physical copies of games and bricks and mortar shops, that’s a good thing.

Alas, I think the games industry is chosing to abandon them. And Steam has the ability to add games purchased outside of Steam to it for convenience. Unlike Epic it puts the user close to the top of priorities.

China doesn’t spread the wealth out though. The inequality is huge and obvious.

Yes, it’s not US bad. And almost everyone has a house and food, which is a solid baseline.

But the PRC’s social structure has ossified and is already growing inequality gaps, and poor folks often can’t afford to get ill or injured.

Sometimes bad oligarchs get executed (we don’t get told how many folks get executed a year), but only after massive outcry and government assisted cover ups fail.

Better for the poorest than the US seems a pretty low bar. Better for the globe as a whole though, so that helps too

But they couldn’t do it for Apu… Cowards.

“I can only say that human curiosity is totally irrational.”

The second one is a straight forward shibboleth, that show had some bangin’ openings and closes.

“I haven’t seen you since Bogota!”

… I use this to greet people far too often.

Their work remains out there to enjoy, and Peep Show has ages better than Green Wing overall.

Maybe by virtue of having run longer.

Yes, and yes.

First two series of both are very good, I just rewatch them less frequently.

If it follows continuity all potential slayers are slayers… But if it does that why not follow the mess that is the comics?

And your idea of Ms. Summers juggling parenthood and slaying and adulting is very appealing to me, someone juggling two of them. I’d watch it.

That Mitchell and Webb Look

Slowly working through Bad Sisters and The Other One.

Nope, with same gender folk I find they usually have something striking or unusual in their appearance and I’m far too normal middle of the road looking to fit that.

It’s not hard to find so you never feel bad about slathering it over anything in copious amounts.

Tastes good, but you can totally gourmand up with it without guilt. Plus, at least in the UK we don’t have the variety that I think folks in the Americas have, Frank’s is, whilst common, not Tabasco, Encona, or Reggae Reggae common.

And a great that’s hard to get: Yellow Dragon Lantern Pepper Mash (黄灯笼) from Hainan. Amazing fruity flavour and hotter than hell.

There was an SLD drop a few years back. And some promos at an event, too.
