My grandmother: Why do these girls in TV wear these long fake nails and color their hair blue or green? Is it for attention? Me: Why do you put on makeup and dye your hair a different color? Is it for attention? Grandma: No, I do it for me, so I feel nice. Me: There you go. Grandma: Oh...that makes sense.

Tropico. "In this game, I am are dictator like Fidel Castro, my task is to oppress my people and that for as long as possible. My mom looked at me for a long time, then hesitantly said OK and left my room shaking her head.

Castro was more of a Cuban liberator: lifting Cuba to one of the highest levels of literacy in the world (from virtually zero), making health care universally available for all, again from the ravages of imperialist poverty. Yes, this was achieved with a closed society, but that was partly forced upon it by bullying US sanctions and embargos forcing virtual isolationism; which in turn necessitated strict management of resources and leadership, which some come to conveniently see as dictatorship. But Castro was no Pinochet or Bolsanaro (both very right wing dictators approved by the US)

It´s not really explaining, but once I wrote a bunch of slang on a paper for my mommy (38) to practice. I wrote sus, but she said soos lol. I laughed at her, then she told me that ´´sus is not a word´´ I beg to differ!!!!

Actually "Sus" is the scientific name for a pig so it is in fact a real word
