Jolly- Biritish guys who try American foods and who've fallen in love w Texas
I love all their modern approach to Haggis as well. Especially when it’s deep fried. My dad’s high school classmate immigrated to Edinburgh from Malaysia… this is his charming little neighborhood place. Good full Scottish there:

Taiwan
For those planning your upcoming visits, if y’all have the time head up to the mountains. Easily 10 degrees cooler and some amazing groves of old growth forests and great hiking for all levels. Not to mention some fantastic variety of tea and coffee tasting. Coffee is still super niche compared to tea, but I had some amazing craft coffee in Taiwan.

Ooomph, it’s gonna be Houston-level muggy and hot. But thank goodness for all the yummy food and drinks.- Thread of Belt Tightening
Fewer international travel An easy one but hard to do especially when I'm feeling tired/lazy to cook is ordering takeout/delivery on the weekends.- Taiwan

I think it's fair to say at this point that GIF and it's use from people has created it's own meaning, rather as some sort of commentary on Amin's actions.- 17 year old stabbed to death by another 17 year old at Frisco track meet
At least it wasn’t a shooting. Progress!- Non-political tariffs thread
I think you’re spot on. But what’s scary is he has a willful misunderstanding of what tariffs are. Trade deficit = bad and that’s enough for him to see it as a weakness. And there’s a lot of damage that has/can/will occur for this bet to pay off and most likely universally pissing off allies so that they’re actively seeking new trade partners thus losing assumed leverage. Wonderful. Also what’s the payoff even if he gets some wins? That I’m not too clear on other than a generic, somehow he and his are grifting off this. There hasn’t been much investment in this country that he can Thanos snap the type of manufacturing he has in his head back in this country. Killing the CHIPS act shows he’s not serious about manufacturing that the US should be investing in either.- Houston Astros 2025 Season Thread
Whoah whoah... save some runs for the rest of the series.- Taiwan
When you’re grubbing at a night market give the Taiwanese version of takoyaki a spin. I actually enjoyed it more than the Japanese version, way more emphasis placed on creating crispy edge/texture.- The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
Anyone want to invest with me and create some Dear Leader meme coins?- The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
They post these messages like letters to Santa from little kids.- Trump’s America
He’s mine too… his staff/team used to send out these silly email newsletter (don’t even remember how I got on the list). And the fucking spin they would put on some of the items was ridiculous.- The children are gone
Nooooo… don’t say their names.- The Trump Economy

Well If that guy is also a principled and pragmatic conservative, how about he don’t about to get married, buy a house, and have kids. Simple.- Houston Astros 2025 Season Thread
Well that was no fun- The Portugal Thread
I wasn't too confident in my ability to drive/park through the narrow streets getting there, so I had someone else drive, it is pretty darn picturesque though. Plus if you're driving, you owe it to yourself to head south afterwards and grab some lunch and explore around Cascais.- These Jubilee 1 vs 20 social discussion videos
Regarding, people should do their research. While I get the sentiment, the problem is that when someone is a novice/beginner to a topic... with how chaotic the internet can be, it's not a sure thing what people are researching is accurate.- Is the Left and the Right wrong about our tax system?
What's your point of view on why this and other right of center economist focus on tax rates?- Is the Left and the Right wrong about our tax system?
I really hope Dubner has another economist back on the show as a rebuttal to this episode.- Is the Left and the Right wrong about our tax system?
Don't know how many of y'all heard this episode on Freakonomics recently, where the guest was Jessica Riedl. I... thought it was really interesting some of the claims she made, especially that the US is taxing the billionaire class on par with Europe and not taxing the middle class enough. I know there are people here, much more knowledgeable about this than I am, so I would love to hear some thoughts from the community about this.

I was aaaaalmost sympathetic till his use of gang bangers. Also the truth is your god is punishing you for being a dipshit. - Taiwan
