The Egyptians who live there now very much insist that they are the same people as the ancient Egyptians, and claim all of the glories of that culture as their own.

This includes everything between now and then as well. They love Mohammed Ali, for example, because he was a strong ruler of Egypt. Nevermind the fact that he was actually Albanian.

This also extends to the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium in Sudan in the 19th and 20th centuries. There is a huge map on the wall in their Foregin Office showing everything Egypt used to "rule," and all of Sudan is included in this. Because they were co-rulers of it with the UK, and in their heads, they were totally 50% of why that was ever a thing. 🙄

At the same time, they strongly identify as Arabs, and are very prideful of that, as well.

I used to live in Cairo. They 100% are proud of their past conquest and subjugation of various peoples.

Red Sonja actress

So... Bridgette Nielsen? Or is there a new woke Red Sonja reboot for me to not pay attention to?

You didn't figure out the name of it, though? Because that train wreck sounds entertaining enough to watch for a minute with my friends, for us to laugh and jeer at.

OF ALL TIME.

Seriously do yourself a favor and read it! There's a reason it's sold eleventy-gazillion copies!

Why on Earth would anyone come out with a Christmas movie in February?

Point of contention: Azerbaijan is a Turkish pet, not a Western one.

I work at a hotel. Always book direct. I can't even begin to tell you the number of horror stories I have with "guest thought they had a reservation through Expedia..."

Never let your woman mark you, full stop. Be that with makeup, or otherwise.

Bland commentary from people I have never heard of before, whose views and positions I have no grounding in, and whose opinions I therefore couldn't care less about.

Well if they're reporting on something, at least include a screen cap of it.

Both this video and the OP talk about e-thots being upset about it, without actually showing any examples of e-thots being upset about it.

I hadn't even thought of that, regarding the Dyson! They're great vacuums, but yea, definitely not something to want to rent, as opposed to own!

In a more similar vein, I ask why this idiot is still alive, but Robert Jordan had to die >:(

I tried reading "The End of the World is Just Beginning" and couldn't make it past the first chapter with how bad his writing style is.

Okay but why the N64 controller in the middle, and funky hat in panel 1?
