Look, you get born, you keep your head down, and then you die. If you're lucky.

  • I had my last kid when I was 48. It's great! My knees and back are slowly seizing up and he can pick things up off the floor for me while I get things down from high shelves for him.

  • why is it that the USA holds such power over the world now and not the UK who histrionically dominated most of it?

  • TL;DR: Pretty much everyone involved in the war was left with a country made of rubble and ashes in varying degrees...

    ... and massive, massive financial debt to the US. America's assistance during the war wasn't free, it came with repayment terms which (in the UK's case at least) crippled economies to America's benefit.

  • Plain comfort food would usually be something like home made chicken fried rice. That bland, carb, hug with a bit of umami to lift it.

    That or any nostalgic food. Stuff my mum used to cook when we were kids (but not some of the stuff we had because it was the 70s!). Like fried egg and chips. We were pretty poor at that stage but two eggs and one large potato per kid was affordable. Cheap and tasty. But my mum was a pretty great cook so she also used to do curries and goulash and paprikash and fish pie and steak and kidney pudding... any these, if cooked just the way she cooked them, are comforting to me.

  • Too many.

    An Islay single malt whisky, fresh coffee, slow cooking onions and garlic, searing steak, grilled lamb, fish and chips with loads of salt and vinegar... hmm, lots of these are food related. Someone else said petrichor and I'm down with that too. Oh, and Twanquility's wife, of course.

  • Golf. I guess that people who play golf probably find it really interesting but for a non-golfer it's pure tedium.

    I know what you're thinking. Did he 'splode six bombs or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a Tsar Bomba AN602, the most powerful bomb in the world, and would blow your nuts clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?”

    I'm not even supposed to be here today!

    What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Except for muscle wasting diseases. But this, this'll definitely kill you.

  • What do people gain from cruelty?

    Jump

  • Some people like to know they've made an impact on others, that they control them and their feelings. They like the idea that they're living rent-free in someone's brain. Being awesome, kind, contributive, etc is one way of doing that but it takes effort. Being cruel is another, usually easier, way to do it.

    Same reason people smash stuff up and spray shitty graffiti - it's far easier to destroy than to build but both kinds of 'work' get noticed.
