army guy comes home even more unstable than before, ruins marriage, scares his kids during visitation, gets his visitation rights limited, murders the children. i feel like this case has played out so many times the exact same way.

English has different words for mouse and rat but in Chinese they're both the same creature (laoshu) so I asked my mom well how do you differentiate between mice and rats. She, clearly having never felt the need to do so, was like uhh big laoshu and little laoshu I guess. Then I went online to see how the difference between (the English words) "mouse" and "rat" was being explained to CN->EN learners and there are numerous articles delving deep into the analysis. Bigger vs smaller, indoors vs outdoors, cute and favorable connotations vs evil and ugly, tail length, fear factor, emphasis on the fact that you cannot call it a "computer rat." Much thought is being expended on this little mystery of the English language

anyway you should always remember that all those foreigners you see dying on the news are just as real people as you are who have just as much interiority as you do. there is nothing about you that makes you more important and it is by pure chance that you are not in their position. in fact, this holds for all of history. every person, no matter the horror of the fate that befell them, had just as much interiority as you do. i feel like some people haven't fully internalized this.

Limmy, in a heavy Glasgow accent: “If you’re a cat owner, you may sometimes wonder, do you own the cat, or does the cat own you? …It’s you that owns the cat, you daft bastard.”

the infamy of suicide squad is kind of a shame because as a conceptual group dynamic it's so much more interesting and accurate than "found family" about 80% of the time
