I had a crush on like every Neopets Faerie.

Car Trunk vs Car Boot: A clear win for US English, trunk was already a thing in which you stored items, frequently for transport.

Crisps vs Chips: I gotta admit, the Brits have this one. They're thin slices of potato that have been made crispy. No chipping of any materials involved.

Car Park vs Parking Lot: Equally matched. What's a car park? A place to park cars. What's a parking lot? An otherwise empty lot where you can park.

Elevator vs Lift: Both equally fail to address that the damn thing also goes down.

the western liberal anti-war sentiment of 'war is always bad and pointless, soldiers don't die for their country they just die, everyone who died for their country was a clown' is like. great in the context of their own imperialist participation in wars, but it's not actually built off a theoretical understanding that can differentiate between that and anything else. instead it just universalises the negative aspects of imperialism. the revolutionaries and anti-colonial fighters opposing imperialist invasion were not fighting a 'pointless' war, they were not idiots for dying for their people, and their sacrifices made a real and measurable difference to the lives of the people they fought for. to the western liberal mind, war is something you choose to travel overseas to do. to the rest of the world, war is something that arrives to you, uninvited. oppose unjust war, inter-imperialist war; and support just war, revolutionary war. nothing else will do.

"little" and "freak" are my favourite adjective noun combo. like not only are you peculiar in nature but you are also rather small.

>"nobody's gonna help you in the real world!!"

>go outside

>love and support in many places as long you have the courage to ask for it
