[QUOTE=Skyward;40739720]BUT COPS R EVUL[/QUOTE]
I'm going to be the devil's advocate here, but one cop being a nice guy doesn't mean there aren't a lot of assholes among them.
[QUOTE=NGC;40738642]Out of curiosity, how are you a triple national?[/QUOTE]
one of my relatives son is a triple national.
dad is from USA, mother is from Estonia and the kid was born in Sweden.
Triple nationality is rare but far from unheard of. I could in theory get myself another citizenship and I'd be triple national too (Australian/British/[insert country here])

You realize that most countries have a "you automatically resign nationality by getting another" clause? This is only circumvented by special circumstances. And of course on special request if the authority thinks it somehow is positive for them. No one wants you to choose between two countries in case of war, because they either want full claim over you or fuck off.

Many Western countries abandoned that system. Even the US abandoned it in the 90s

Seems like a very even split to me, guess we are both equally right then :v:
But yeah, it really just depends on the countries. Like good luck even getting a single Swiss nationality.

Now we can add trees to the list of deadly things in Australia, a certain type of pine tree in Queensland drops pine cones the size and weight of bowling balls from upward of 90 feet high.

Even the tree itself looks evil. :v:
[QUOTE=download;40736613]Damn, how could your own embassy abandon you like that? Were they scared of pissing off Israel or something?[/QUOTE]
Kind of wanted to avoid discussing it for fear of being branded a lazy arab. But whatever. I lived with my parents and my sister in Dubai at the time and we had a Phillipino maid. She was a lovely girl and we in no way treated her badly like stories you may hear. It's part of the culture over there to have maids (Even the richer Phillipinos have Phillipino maids, its quite funny actually). We brought her with us on holiday to Lebanon in July 2006 and the war broke out 2/3 days later. My dad tried to get us on evacuation on the ships that the British and the French had prepared for evac to Cyprus. We were denied because our maid was not a close relative of the family. Embassy staff told us (I shit you not, this was from British and French nationals), to [b]leave[/b] her in Lebanon (a country she has never been to, knows no one there) and we'll be evacuated. My dad said fuck that, this girl is under my responsibility. He actually talked to one of the French generals on the phone and man he was livid, swearing and cussing this guy out for his stupidity. As I said, my dad found a guy (a friend of his iirc) who was willing to drive us to Syria in order to leave this mess (I guess the guy wanted out too, he might as well get paid for the drive that he was inevitably going to make anyway). What I found the most disturbing in Syria was how all the hotels were fully booked with Lebanese people. We went to nearly all the hotels in central Damascus and behind the counter were stacks of Lebanese passports in those little cubby holes. We finally found a place in a shitty hotel with Russian writing all over the place :v

[QUOTE=NGC;40738642]Out of curiosity, how are you a triple national?[/QUOTE]
My story is pretty crazy. My mum is pure English from the north but I was born and raised in the south. My father is Lebanese and he acquired French nationality early on in his life. As such I am a national of Britain, France and Lebanon. I only own a British passport but I can get the other two in one or two weeks if I wanted them. It's actually quite bizarre being from so many different backgrounds. I speak English, French and Arabic and my being torn between West and East causes my views to be really skewed, especially on situations such as Israel and Palestine. I am very pro-Palestine and anti-occupation by Israel but I can't stand the antisemitism from Arabs and it really gets on my nerves when Arabs I know wish harm upon innocent Israeli people. It also annoys me to hear all this "Zionism" bullshit that manifests itself whenever Jews are mentioned. Yeah the Israeli government leans towards Zionism but that doesn't mean every Jew out there is a Zionist. Anyway, I digress...
Fucking ridiculously small flower sculptures

[td]To get a sense of just how small these flower sculptures are, grab a penny and flip it on its back. Right in the middle of the Lincoln Memorial, you'll see a faint impression of Abraham Lincoln. These roses would make a perfect corsage for the president's jacket lapel.
The flowers sprout up spontaneously when a glass plate is dipped into a beaker filled with silicon and minerals (specifically, barium chloride). Then Wim Noorduin at Harvard coaxes the salts to spiral and swirl into smooth, curvaceous shapes, like vases, leaves and petals.
He sculpts the stems and blossoms by slightly tweaking the environment in which the crystals grow. Lowering the temperature makes the petals thicker. Bursts of carbon dioxide send ripples through the leaves and blossoms.[/td]

Muscadet is the best. I live in the area where it's produced, so I may have a little bias though :v:
[editline]25th May 2013[/editline]
Muscat is terrible, far too sweet. I had a friend that loved it, but eugh, it's awful.
I've never tried it, but I love sweet things so I'll have to give it a try
Not sure if it's been posted already, but I've been following somebody on Tumblr called 'Craft Nature' for ages and they put up really sick images of nature and animals and shit.
For example:

We really need some sort of thread for perfect cosplays. Just people who nail the character, either in suit detail or just them looking exactly like the character they're cosplaying.
Here is an auxiliary video.

I'm not 100% sure what it is, but it's almost hypnotizing.
Hundreds of stacked photographs.
