Don't forget, most of the countries in Europe bad also. Oh, and Japan very bad at times.

"Oops! I killed 15 million people, but it was an accident. My bad. Who knew forcibly moving all the farmers to the city and making them work in factories would cause a famine?"

-Mao, probably

PS: 15 million is the low end number. 15-55 million is the commonly accepted number, with some estimates as high as 70 million.

At some point you'd think he'd look around and notice.

When you pay the game you realize how few women and non-white characters there were.

Wasn't the great leap forward by Mao the biggest mass murder in world history, according to historians not governments?

Doesn't whitewashing that amount to Holocaust denial level cultural blindness?

I know nothing, quick Google search.

 

I had just had a friendly and fun dinner with some Cuban VIPs because of a work thing. After dinner I was supposed to take a picture of the US and Cuban group together.

I tried to tell everyone "Say 'Cheese'" because I knew it would be odd but interesting to the Spanish speakers who were unfamiliar with American ways, but I don't speak Spanish very well.

I said, "Hablo Queso," which means 'I speak cheese.'

Bananas are a bad scale. They range from small to large. Slap a ruler on that bad boy.

I suppose if I had a cow living in my home with me that would be a problem. It's familiarity.

And puppies

☝️Actually, the war of 1812 was in the US. The White House was burned down and Washington DC was occupied.

And the civil war, our deadliest, was fought on US soil.

Even in WW2, the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Battle of the Aleutian Islands ought to be mentioned.

Shit is not looking good

 

various assassinations, the brink of nuclear apocalypse, an unpopular political war away from home that caused a social movement, and political espionage.

It's like we're cursed.

 

I realized that "Mensa" didn't contain enough numerals to be a phone number, and knew it must be understood that any future member would be able to figure out the next two digits in the sequence. I tried dialling MENSANE, MENSAIL, MENSAFE, and MENSAAB, but got three rebuffs and a fax tone.
