I'm still not sure why there is vegetarian Spam

For the same and only reason that there is regular spam, surely? For musubi.

Reminds me of a line from The Maxx: "The Crapon-in-a-hat and Jean Paul Satre team up to fight nausea? Sounds like a losing battle to me."

Those are easy:

A grifter.

The true Roman way.

Plato's Republic.

Increasingly complex chemical interactions around thermal vents.

Some rich guy.

Nope.

The first iteration had a rules of war/ethics type system where as well as K/D ratios etc. it gave you a rank for how well you obeyed the rules of war. I remember I number of articles talking about how abysmally low all the scores were.

The game was such a realistic representation of the US army that players could just war crime to their hearts content with no repercussions.

You're a troll though. It's easy to tell because every single post in your comment history is trolling.

I'm gonna block you now but best of luck with your future trolling.

Where in the Midwest did you grow up?

Jokes on you - I'm quick to smile, non-judgemental and a patient conversationalist! 😊 The last time someone have you a compliment in public it might've been me and you'd never know! 😘

I wasn't trying to comment specifically on you or your teeth, it's just one of those weird things that people notice about our culture, but people from here don't realize is not the same in other cultures.

normal oral hygiene

Cranial deformation is just normal infant care in groups where it's practiced.

Many western cultures practice dental hygiene in a way that doesn't produce the "bleached wall" look that so many in US culture deem high-status. Teeth slowly change color and natural misalignments develop with less need to artificially modify that.

Teeth in the US are just a way more important site of identity than elsewhere. When people make fun of the US, teeth are often part of it because it's something we're way more intense about than other people are.

I use an unsweetened charcoal toothpaste, it's definitely the least unappealing one I've found.

a great feeling when your teeth are ... clean.

Yeah I've had people describe such a feeling but I've never experienced it. Closest I've experienced is a pleasant feeling of knowing it's the maximum time before I have to endure that again.

white

I was not raised in the US so that artificial wall of unnaturally blinding white teeth has no value to me. TBH it seems like foot binding, neck-extension or cranial deformation - an extreme status marker that's fascinating from an anthropological perspective.

I fucking hate brushing my teeth. I cannot understand how so many people seem to just willingly do it like multiple times a day. How do they deal with the feeling of open revolt that washes over every cell in your body when thinking of teeth brushing?

Oh, that's it? Thank you! I never would've gotten this. I think it was the whole of sponge bob used as a metaphor for a single body part that was throwing me off.
