He’d be both at different parts of the episode. Similar to the doctors office seeing patients in order of arrival vs. order of appointment

I mean the whole scheme makes perfect sense from the perpetrator’s POV:
- let’s hire a crisis actor to put his knee on another crisis actor’s neck, while a 3rd crisis actor films the whole thing, and 3 other crisis actors to be backup cops
- pay off the entire Minneapolis Police Dept to pretend they already knew this guy, or maybe they’re all in on it, or maybe they can’t put together that a cop none of them have met and the other 3 cops at the scene aren’t really MLPS cops
- this goes for the booking officers too, the coroners, the ambulance drivers, and all lawyers involved - again we’re not sure if they’re paid off or just part of the Soros illuminati already, doesn’t matter
- lots of media will be looking into this, luckily they’re all already on the Soros payroll
- oh yeah, make sure the lead crisis actor is already on a hit TV show and easily identifiable, that will throw people off the scent somehow
- all this of course is to cause nationwide riots for the purpose of making America feel bad, or lose faith in cops, or justify a communist govt takeover, or something, we’re not sure yet why we’re doing all this but we know it needs to be done
- and now, FINALLY, the Socialist Soros Bilderburg Rothschild Illuminati Freemason Bill Gates 5G Hillary Fauci Vaccination takeover of the world can commence!
How could we have been so blind? It was right under our noses the whole time.

Hey, remember when John Lewis called Trump an illegitimate president and the chattering classes in the media fell over themselves trying to tone police him? Just look at this obsequious shit from The Atlantic.
Man, fuck right off, John Lewis was of course right this whole time. Now that he’s dead, the polite media will quietly canonize him. The Atlantic will remember John Lewis for his march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge and totally forget they time they tried to downplay his warnings about a fascist presidency.

Yeah the dude continued to be awesome right up until the end.
The Atlantic has been around forever. Does anyone have their articles from the 60s on Lewis, MLK and the civil rights movement in general? Google isn’t helping.
Haha Christ those are bad.
Mrs j is asleep so I had to watch with the sound off, which might be just as well. I stopped when she started covering the spag with unseasoned mince. Really I should have stopped earlier when she gave up on whisking the eggs properly.

I pre-writing (writing in my head while I hike) something like this to put in my book:
“Mexican cuisine is easily up there with the world’s great cuisines, like Thai, Vietnamese, French, Italian, Greek/Middle Eastern. I’m not sure if I would put it in the same class as what I consider to be the two elite world cuisines - Indian and Chinese. But I think it’s in the ballpark.”
a) Am I missing any great world cuisines?
b) I was considering going off on a tangent about how most countries/regions (including England) now have chefs producing great high-end cuisine. But I don’t necessarily consider that part of a “food culture”. I think peasants have to be making amazing food for a long time to qualify as part of the food culture.
Thoughts on this?
Also it led to the question in my mind: What did English peasants eat for most of its history? Was it as bland and crappy as typical English food (or at least the stereotype) until recently?
The national dish of England is chicken tikka masala, right? That seems to say something.
The best thing I ate in London was fish and chips, second was kebab. Did English or Irish or Scottish invent fish and chips?
I did try shepherd’s pie and a cheese and onion sandwich at a pub just to see what all the fuss was about. Not impressed. English breakfast was ok minus the baked beans.

You’re missing Peruvian but I feel like this is a conversation that has happened before, here, somewhere.
I’ve traveled in Peru. I wasn’t super impressed with the food, but maybe I didn’t go to the right places. Ceviche is incredible. The Lomo Saltido was very good. But I never wanted it more than once. I was looking at pizza and spaghetti on day 3.
When I travel, if I find something I like, I’ll eat it for a week solid no problem. In Vietnam I didn’t crave a cheeseburger until well into week 2. So that’s kind of how I rank cuisine at places I travel to I guess. Very scientific.
But I can totally get on board with the idea that I should go back to Peru and try more of a foodie experience. Seems like we wound up in crappy tourist places a lot. There’s an upscale Peruvian place in Hollywood that became one of me and my gf’s favorite places.
Pisco sours done well are sublime. But those also sucked at the touristy places. So maybe Peru has a problem with all these tourist ripoff places.
In central Mexico everything was good, everywhere. I didn’t run into any crappy tourist places.
There’s an inevitable bias towards food available in western restaurants and I think it’s too strong to say what the worlds great cuisines are. One of the best meals I had, more enjoyable than some highly rated restaurants here, was home cooked in a village in west Africa.
Agree about food culture coming from ordinary people.
Not sure if trolling but common English food is thought to have been dire throughout history, though spices from trade with the east presumably went into into rich people’s pots.
Lesser known is that French food was also dire until the Medicis upped sticks and took their culinary skills with them
I read somewhere that fish and chips was invented by the French.
The national cuisine of Holland became Indonesian in the 80s.
Yeah that’s good info.
It’s funny to think of Italian food before pasta from China and the tomato from the Andes. It may have sucked too.
Let’s argue about the world’s great cuisines:
- China (easily #1)
- India (easily #2)
- Mexico
- Italy
- Greek/Middle Eastern
- Thailand
- Vietnam
- France
- Spain
- Peru (maybe)
Maybe Japan and/or Korea belong up there?
Does combining Greek and Middle Eastern make sense?
I’ve had Indonesian before but wasn’t super impressed.
Does America count as a cuisine? BBQ, fried chicken, burgers?
Any other S. American countries - Brazil, Argentina, Colombia?
Germany got anything going on?

French criminally underrated.
Germany’s national dish is probably currywurst (sp?) according to mrs j who studied and worked there and gawped at the enthusiasm for it in their canteen.
But @LouisCyphre and @zarapochka would know
Meh. I’ve never been blown away by anything. But then again I’ve spent 1 day in Paris and 3 days in Nice - which was mostly Italian food.
But I think the fact that any part of France close to Italy is dominated by Italian food seems like it says something.
French bread, wine and cheese GOAT.
Wtf at combining Greek and Middle Eastern food? That’s ridiculous!

Los Balcones? Man, back in the day that place was as upscale as the McDonalds across the street? But now, yeah. Things change. Basically same food though.
Some of its shared and some clearly isn’t.
