Enough people have been talking about Skyline Chili on discord that I have no choice but to go there for dinner tonight, after my sonâs doctorâs appointment. He likes it, I love it, and my husband absolutely despises it, so itâs a good chance for the two of us to go.

Depending on context: In some cases, itâs a âgagâ gift. Something that looks wonderfulâlike tickets for a Taylor Swift concertâbut isnât useful at all that took place in 2022.

My daughterâs bff and family friend just dropped by. We got talking about their partner. Turns out heâs from Burundi. Which I think Iâd vaguely heard of, but couldnât have told you that it was an actual country. Just googled it, itâs a complete shithole. One of the poorest countries in Africa, and thatâs saying something. Lucky his family managed to get out and immigrate to canada.

There was some âtribalâ wars there and Rwanda in the 90s IIRC. When the fighting ended the two countries had essentially separated by tribes. The Tutsi that had the economic advantage (preferred tribe during colonial times) are now mostly in Rwanda so Rwanda is doing very well and the Hutu, the ones accused of starting the genocide, are mostly in Burundi and poor. A sad thing about the whole thing is these two tribes are a creation of the colonialists there. They were one people before.

Well, I was pretty much paraphrasing wikipedia rather than quoting the incoming US president :).
The town i live in is sometimes just too stereotypical.
My son dated a local girl for years. They split, she got a bit nasty. Ok. This year she csame into the restaurant my son works at. Orders a drink by herself. Glares at him. When she leaves. She tells the waitress, best drink sheâs ever had. Oooook.
Last night hes out with his current gf at the local pub/restaurant. This girls father comes over to the table.stands for a second, then says âi hope we can talk somedayâ.
My son just says âwhatever day you want, just let me knowâ.
Dude turns around and walks away.
I swear half this town never got over high school.

not sure if the dad thing was - we have something to discuss or I liked you, I wish we could talk despite my crazy ass daughter
Dad is a orick and a bit odd. My guess, heâs part of a bunch of high school drama in their house. To my point about small towns. Drama is a pass time.
I mean, heâs a grown man. If he had something to say or wanted to talk, just say it.
My take was, if I run into his ex gf, I just say HI! How are you? Howâs things? Where are you working? Still living at home?.etc. like a normal human does when their kids break up with someone.

Itâs really unfortunate. There was a time I travelled a lot and I only drank Heineken. It is available everywhere and it tastes the same everywhere.
