QuoteI distinctly remember shortly after 9/11 visiting the Afghan web and seeing the Pashtuns and Tajiks brutaly flaming each other in the middle of an actual civil war. Yeah the internet isn't going to bring us all together after all.
Alternate (optimistic?) take: we're all trash flaming each other about the same bullshit everywhere.
Let's bomb Russia!

Do you want the list alphabetical or in order of importance?

Even those of you I don't like I actual kind of do like.

Like the siblings you love, but still hate to deal with. :P
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Well I'm annoyed.
Had to go to Ikea today. Always a bit of a hell hole at the best of times.
They've changed the roads in the area so finding it was a pain, then there was a big queue to get in, and got completely misdirected by their signage so got myself locked away from where I wanted to go by their one way system.
Totally get why some people flout the rules.

Because they can't handle minor inconveniences and are thoughtless about the risk to others?

It's an Ikea.  He's not doing a u-turn in the middle of a highway.  :P

I'm surprised the Afghans were flaming each other in English.

I've gotten lost in Ikea every time I've gone in one. If they made the whole store one-way, I'd have to move in.  <_<

I've only been to Ikea once in my life, and I don't recall much of it. I bought towels, I guess.

In my opinion, it is one of the few 'affordable' furniture retailers in London.

Most of my apartments (including the ones where I lived in Madrid, NY, and Barcelona) were all Ikea, I traded cities but my furniture has stayed the same  :D

Ikea is great. I usually shop from home though, rarely visit in person.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

the closest location to Alaska is in Seattle. They won't or didn't ship up here so some enterprising Local folks started up a business where order through them and they would have their agents in Seattle purchase and then put the furniture I'm guessing by barge or cargo plane sent up here for an additional fee. :lol:



Edit: looks like they are still in business https://furniture.greatlandgrocery.com/
