Lost some. Won some.
“Unalived” might be a euphemism that’s only necessary on certain social media to avoid censorship nowadays, but people were using the term “disappearing” (especially as a transitive verb) during Chile’s Pinochet regime, if not earlier.
I probably wouldn’t have tried durian or nattou if I didn’t know what they were, but maybe I’ll notice some exception some day. (I might have still tried haggis since I don’t recall it having any smell to it, but I wouldn’t feel better not knowing what it was.)
I don’t know if it has that effect normally or you mean it would be laced, but they probably wouldn’t eat a strong-smelling food in the first place. (Speaking for myself though, I sure would try as long as I know what it is.)
Yay! Please stick with this, EU! I hope this spreads globally. 🥂

*edit - Just in case, I’ll clarify: I meant we will know for sure what their PR strategy is. I’m not doubting he wants to annex Canada.
This sounded off to me, but maybe everything does. Another off-sounding idea I’ve heard: Gillian Tett, an editor and columnist at the Financial Times, seems to think there’s a good chance Trump wants to hyperinflate the US dollar so he can somehow set more favourable repayment terms, when time comes due for them to renegotiate. I expect that would lower their credit rating even more but I guess Trump in that scenario doesn’t care about that.
Normally I’d say it’s possible for people who have been through failure (in his case, bankruptcy) to know things that more successful people don’t, but whatever logic he has is overruled by his apparent narcissism so it’s hard to be sure if what he thinks he’s going to accomplish has some basis in reality.
If they do plan on invading, it will probably involve them coming from the North as well, and not just the South-- especially if they were to occupy Greenland first.
Maybe if it runs longer, we all get to jump to a better timeline. 😅
I had it here in Canada, decades ago. My memories are vague but I remember thinking it wasn’t bad at all. (Probably no lung, but there was definitely stomach.)
