Mochi donuts. WTAF. Texture is so off, and not nearly flavorful enough. How are there three of these donut shops in Vienna now?

So Irish people aren’t “normal people?” Weird take. Some of us want our kids to have meaningful names and not just what seven other kids in their class are named.


Your kid is still named Eva even if you spell it Aoife. It will still be confusing when the teacher calls on someone or friends are discussing your child. But whatever.


Nah.

Aoife is OY-FE

Eva is Eva


That is not how my Irish friend pronounces it.


That was a joke, because that's how Americans are going to pronounce it.

And to be clear it's not Eva, it's more E-fa, with an f

Tha'ts not a stay cation. A staycation means you STAY AT HOME and you do tourist things but, in your home town.

(Look, everyone has different tastes. But I see nothing redeeming about a 2-hour scream fest. Smart, respectable people love this movie; I just don’t get it.)


I feel that way about the Princess Bride. I can't get through the first 20 minutes of it. Its awful.

So you like bland foods?

Also, as a Thai, I don’t like American Thai food either.

DP. Weird response, I don’t like Indian food either, but I love spicy food. Stop being so defensive.

Mushrooms. The texture doesn't make any sense to me. Why would you put something like that in your mouth?
