That’s all (?) indoeuropean languages I think

prompstate massage 😂

oh that sounds lovely, I’m adding Detroit to the list

ngl…

Just started watching Andor with my wife, and it’s surprisingly excellent. Like, it revolves entirely about antiimperialist themes and is well written, well directed, well acted, the effects look fantastic.

Oh and for anyone else confused, Andor is NOT the planet on which episode 6 takes place ! the one with the teddy bears ? That’s Endor with an E. Andor is actually the name of the main guy in the show.

Is that where the capture is from ?

Law enforcement use shout-out tactics to pick a suspect from the crowd. The singer was the investigator all along. He’s also a beast at alto saxophone, and uses it to taunt his captures.

I don’t think there’s any link to Europe, unless I missed something

Ah I won’t find that here. I’m familiar with regular sesame oil, perhaps I can toast some seeds on the side

I’ll try this, sesame oil is such a rare commodity here and I have none at the moment, but it’ll stay in the back of my head

we need a planned economy

I find it strangely comforting that shitty copper merchant Ea-nāṣir touches our lives today from his own time, almost 4 millenia ago. Through his legend of shitty business practices, he lives on…

the scam doesn’t have to mean anything ? not following

the scam is the market

There’s a learning curve for everything

which is not at all, right ?

So, not customer service but yeah, around ten years ago at an antique bookstore in Marseille.
I was shopping with a friend, visiting that shop for the first time. We were looking for ancient stuff, books that smell like vanilla and attic. It was our thing at the time.

Anyway, there was the shop owner (I assume) and a single client in his 60s dressed a bit extravagantly, little golden glasses and all. Unfortunately I can’t remember what prompted the line, but we exchanged just a little and when we asked something about him, he did this raise-eyebrows-little-smirk-slide-glasses-down suggestively and goes “don’t you recognize me ?”. I was taken aback and went uuuhh… nooo…? and I think what mental image he had of himself got hurt a little that day. Or maybe not. But I did not ask who tf he was.

I surmise he might have been a semi famous author or something. Or maybe it didn’t have anything to do with writing, but the context seemed to suggest this.

I’d read that! but not sure I’d play it

Yea I read that too,… 😂 trying very hard to prove a point I think? but it comes off as gratuitiously provocative
