Somalia is objectively a shithole country. Only 38% of homes have toilets indoors.

Curiously this didn’t get as much attention as the Somalis.

That’s hilarious.

For now.

Heh.

Gorgeous Mik.

Hotdogs/pretzles, strange halal meats, roasted nuts, and Latinos with fruits, though the latter not so much in midtown.

It’s just a statistic. Nothing ‘annihilates’ it unless you’re projecting some message or moral onto it yourself.

Didn’t know either. I’ve still never seen it.

Moulin Rouge.

Nice. Mayla and I saw that last year.

What are you seeing?

What do you think? Harsh but true? Or over the top?

I still occasionally fly in a suit when I have a meeting in Boston or DC, but nowhere else. If I saw a shoe shine guy I’d probably use him, especially after this thread put it back in my mind. It’s not like I shine them myself. Though I’ll wipe them with a towel at a hotel.

I remember short lines at O’Hare waiting for one to open up.
