It's a strange world now

 Nothing makes sense, and words don't seem to mean anything. 

Loki Spoiler ***do not read***

 

LOKI IS A FROST GIANT AND THERE IS NO WAY THAT ENVIRONMENT IS MAKING HIM FEEL COLD! HE IS JUST TRYING TO GET WITH THE GIRL! 

AS A CHAON VARIANT, I CAN CONFIRM THIS TO BE TRUE!

Uh... Guys?

 I don't think Prager University thought this tweet through before posting it. 

Undersea Cables

 Found this cool site that shows all the undersea data cables in the world:

Damn Tankies

 

I had to look up "Strasserites":

Strasserism (German: Strasserismus or Straßerismus) is a strand of Nazism that calls for a more radical, mass-action and worker-based form of Nazism, espousing economic antisemitism above other antisemitic forms, to achieve a national rebirth. It derives its name from Gregor and Otto Strasser, two brothers initially associated with this position.

Foreign Exchange Certificate, 1989

 One F.E.C. yuan was actually worth about 1.8 - 2 Renminbi. Foreign students on stipends were issued a "white card," which allowed them to spend Renminbi instead of F.E.C. (外匯). 

What in the actual fuck is this?

 

I mean, I had long ago made my peace with Dan Chaon, who was a Chaon long before I was one. And while I'm pretty sure I was Chaon before Chaon Cross was born, she is an actress, and that is clearly a different industry and customer base from... whatever it is that I do. 

But this is just too much: 

Abilities

Chaon is an extremely powerful hedgehog, he has many abilities which range from super speed to shooting electricity from his quills. He also has the ability to change forms. In his super form those abilities are amplified, in his Dark form he gains the ability to teleport, in his fusion form he has the abilities of both Vortex and himself, and in his super fusion form, he gains the ability of both super forms, making his super fusion his most powerful transformation.

This is just much too similar to me. Trademark infringement. Likelihood of confusion in the market. Unfair trade practices. 

I'm calling my lawyer.

Well yeah but...

We don't really call them masks. The correct terminology is "gimp hood."

 

Yeah, somebody's in trouble.

 

Bonus quiz: 

神明桌 in English is

a) Ancestral altar

b) Ancestral shrine

c) God table

I don't know, I just have this weird feeling that something is missing...

 

 

Vegan-friendly Leather?

 

I never know what's going on any more. 

What the fuck did I just watch?

Injustice

Well this is just bullshit. 16 years ago I wrote an article for Taiwan that was not only groundbreaking and informative, but probably saved thousands of lives. Where is *my* gold card? Hmm?

Conservative: I have been censored for my conservative views

Me: Holy shit! You were censored for wanting lower taxes?

Me: So....deregulation?

Con: Haha no not those views either

Me: Which views, exactly?

Con: Oh, you know the ones
