After we empty the stash here, a war with Greenland will be a peer to peer conflict…

Americans are also sleeping on the chrisp green sour mangos

Extremely disappointed Indian Food wasn’t on there smh

Returned Peace Corps Volunteer in Cambodia and can confirm: those jobs get you a day off!

Loaded down freezer bags with Dr. Pepper for ballroom dance competitions

They’re eventually going to run out of Tolkien names and start using Sanderson inspired ones

It’s the epitome of the @radiofreetom.bsky.social Our Own Worst Enemy thesis: we’re all so bored and comfortable that 1) any conflict feels existential and 2) we want it to feel that way so it’s exciting

So later when she was talking to her insurance she was like “well should I call ICE?”

And they were like well no… it’s not all that serious and she said “well what about all the trouble this is causing me?!”

The “trouble” being an unpleasant situation she handled with a couple phone calls…

The other day though she got in some altercation, because some guy said she scratched his car.

He ended up being undocumented and didn’t want the police to get involved.

They’re super nice and caring and always babysit my nephew—they brought homemade cupcakes over the other day, and have really been a big help about some stuff! But she’s a little persnickety like “well should he be playing with that? He needs to learn to listen when people say no…”

So my sister and bro in law know an elderly woman at church who completely typifies the “decedent white trump voter who needs a crisis”

She and her husband pretty well off, have owned their own home for years, have an rv, and rent stuff like those three wheel slingshot things.

Starbucks’ iced coffee is a massive downgrade from Cambodian i-lattes with condensed milk u_u

I really think a lot of what trump and his goons do amounts to “nazis swinging from the chandeliers in the bunker as the Allies moved in”. Just going hog wild and wrecking as much stuff and “triggering” as many people as possible before the tide goes out

One man's "friend-enemy distinction" is another's "manufacturing difference"...

Forgot that dishes are hot when you just set them down out of the oven and tried to pick it up barehanded…

Blanked about what to say when getting a table at a restaurant

Forgot tap water is drinkable here

Where will junior millennials go to retire O_o

I do think that’s part of our problem today where people feeling detached and listless. Family used to sort of “place” us and acted like an anchor in society (for good or ill and the other assorted caveats). Somehow a lot of people lost that grounding in history and meaning.

Gutted: my favorite Chinese restaurant was playing AI Christmas music the other day instead of their usual Mandopop covers :(

The weird musicality, uncanny backgrounds, and “jiddy up” instead of “giddy up” gave it away

Any single one of these men is more *manly* than any of the Tate and Rogan bros

Felt the burning need to take my boots off before going upstairs

Almost said អរគុណ at the restaurant

Adventures in reverse culture shock:
Saw a mosquito bc the door was open and almost flipped—then I remembered we don’t have dengue

Almost said សុំទោស twice at HEB

May have said “I-latte” because the baristas keep getting confused

I only know how to do the Khmer palm down “come here!” gesture now

No it’s not? These weren’t even discussed as an issue for the fight until after the war started and Thailand needed a more plausible explanation for the conflict.

One of the small but incredible things about Cambodia is that "modern" dancing at weddings is basically just 60s/Beach Boys style surf 'n' twist etc with a touch of the 80s. I have no idea why

If we thought “powerful men broke their brains on social media” is bad… wait for the generation of ipad kids to run for office

We watch Christmas with the Kranks *every* Thanksgiving evening

We did it once in 2008, then again the next year and went “welp, I guess this is tradition now!”

My grandma once told my dad to bring extra gravy to Christmas Dinner (in case we ran out) at my aunt and uncle’s—they took it as a deep, personal offense that we would bring our *own* gravy to replace theirs and they still haven’t let it go…

This is literally the type of “deal” I make rival powers sign in EU4 when I fully intend on coming back for another round

What Larry Summers and the average boy in my classes have in common is that apparently there was no one in their lives to teach, model, and set expectations for an *others oriented* masculinity.

Everything Is Gender and Everyone Is 12 remain the undefeated theories of the 21st century

Like from my experience teaching here, we’re in deep *DEEP* gender gap trouble

The girls’ average about a B gpa… the boys are having a good day if they even get a letter grade…
