^ good recap of the French Revolution

And the Russian revolution

Quite a lot of revolutions.

@ophiuchus Phó is underwhelming. The jungle tribes may retain that particular recipe.

When I was 8, I made a joke about 9/11 and had to see the school counselor for 3 years

In regards to what someone said earlier

It’s barely even Vietnamese

@Selma an early victim of deplatforming. Thank you for your service, gamer.

Hahaha. Thank you, Green Nation.

“Pho” comes from the French “feu” meaning “Fire.” Vietnamese was a French colony for some time.

It’s just a damn hot pot.

“I put food in hot broth” is pretty universal.

yeah but it's _tasty_ hot pot

@Deleted User what memes are hot? I need to be ahead of the curve or else I'll probably "rise and grind" post tomorrow

I also think think the broth is different than hot pot, but don't quote me on that

So tasty, it necessitates the third largest ethnic group in Texas being a strange race of south East Asian manicurists?

... well I'd rather just have Texan style Pho

but in my hometown we've got a bajillion and one Pho places

@Selma I was in the third grade when JFK was murdered. Classes were suspended, and we watched the coverage on TV. I was bored. I decided to punch my close personal friend Don Thomas and see what happened. The female teachers couldn't believe it. At a time like this.. They were livid. I had never seen adults so furious as the were with me.

the worst I ever got was a scolding by the teacher after I said they weren't doing a good job teaching me

they weren't, before you ask

I couldn't care less if I never got to eat nonwhite ethnic food again, but even that is unnecessary. One of the local pizzerias where I grew up was owned by Ukrainians. Recipes aren't genetic

to be honest: I kinda like nonwhite ethnic food. it's enjoyable to make

or it requires you to spend six hours babying a saucepot

Ate spicy food today. Will self deport. Look for the one Blonde guy in the caravan.

@OMGDwayne ha a friend and I would choose a random time in spanish class when we would turn and start playfully fighting. that class was boring and it was super funny to us 😂

we'd be like, "ok, today at 1:20"

next day 1:45

keep it a surprise

man I miss school for all the freedom

I look forward to retiring when I don't have to worry what people think about me

>paying for "freedom"

@Asatru Artist - MD true, I;m sure I could cough up 40 k a year to get the same freedom back, fair point

but by freedom I just mean you don't really have to worry what people think about you

In middle school, a teacher asked why I wasn't taking notes. I calmly told her that I didn't need to. She then took me out in the hall and yelled at me, readily conceding that I would get a 100 without them (it was history so I already knew it), but warning me that I had to pretend it took a lot of effort to make make dumb kids feel better about themselves.
I somewhat envy those of you who grew up before clown world

So I joined College Republicans today. Apparently saying women should not be in the military when talking about how whorish enlisted women are is enough to override facts>feelings.

@TMatthews similar thing happened to me in math class once. except the teacher told me I was going to fail in front of everyone

@Sam Anderson lol, are you still in?

@Sam Anderson if a College Republican isn't a wannabe Frank Underwood sociopath, he's probably a naive man baby

Sure there are exceptions but that's the general two groups

I always lost points in algebra because I didn't show enough work
