Maybe, but it does say "Trump loving", not Trump voting. I acknowledge and don't hold too hard a grudge on people who don't pay much attention and only vote on stuff they think will affect them. I still consider it selfish, but I will acknowledge some people have enough issues in their life to not realize how bad it could affect others.

For instance, one of my sisters friends voted for Trump in 2016 because she is a small business owner and thought he would be better for her business. I don't know how she has voted since, and she's a black mother in FL, so I hope she's changed her mind.

Still, I have seen people make excuses for themselves that they have to be responsible for their employees as well etc etc, so someone with a not hateful mindset may make a decision those of us more informed or plugged into may realize is much worse for them either way.

Edit, forgot my original point. The above included I don't think would be considered "Trump loving", so I think by that statement she's saying he loves more than just a policy or two.

I still replay those and enjoy them. Final Fantasy Tactics, War of the Lions as well. Personally I think they hold up, with maybe Secret of Mana being the worst of the three. I'm extremely positively biased toward Secret of Mana though as it was the first game me, my brother, and my sister could play at the same time on SNES, and was the first game we got with the system for that exact reason (we first experienced it visiting another house, before we even had a SNES, and they had a splitter. They showed us Secret of Mana and some multi-player basketball game I can't quite recall).

It's such a positive memory of us all being able to enjoy the same activity together without fighting over controllers etc(though maybe some fight over characters :P)

I think it isn't illegal if it can't grow a plant, so if heated or ground. You can buy ground hempseed, and i think i have some downstairs. Still, imports and such are much trickier, which is probably why they don't use it for exports. Also other countries may have stricter imports, and perhaps the company doesn't want the headache of verifying which market to send which product to.

It's similar to how most companies just conform to Californian restrictions rather than make different products for different states in the US.

I'm not an expert, but I think that was overuse by Americans and the west using it to be "mystical" etc. Also technically, cardinal directions have been used a pejoratives, some still are. Many countries dislike "the west", Northerners and Southerners can be said with disgust in America since the Civil War, "East Coast Elites" is something I've heard used as an insult by at least one Texan and I'm sure many more.

Also negro just originally meaning black is similar, as is the terms Caucasoid (having to do with the caucus mountains iirc), Negroid, and Mongoloid, which was an archaic grouping of people to basically white, black, brown/Asian. Of those terms, only Caucasian is used today without a racist connotation.

I think it's Hempseed rather than weed itself, but proper Nanami/shichimi togarashi (7 spice blend, roughly translated) has Hempseed. Because of the ban on drugs and such, most exports and US versions exclude it though.

As an example, this site shows and advertises it's usage, then on the same page says:

Hemp seeds match sesame in terms of flavor and aroma. There is an old Japanese saying: "Those able to mill hemp seed are truly mature."

No hemp seeds are used in products for overseas markets.

This is in no way a defense, but rather an accusation: many other companies pull or have pulled similar things. Hasbro famously used near slave labor when they partnered with Good Shepherd Sisters, one of many similar "Magdalene Laundries"; religious convents that some women were put in for sins as horrifying as "having a baby out of wedlock."

Behind the Bastards discusses them in their episodes titled "How the catholic church murdered Ireland's babies"

For some reason on my client, it can't remove the spoiler (gives a network error). I'm assuming it says that since the ball has more mass, it has a higher attraction rate of its own gravity to Earth's, so does fall faster in a vacuum but so miniscule it would be hard to measure?

A pejorative can start out nice and then turn into one depending on how it's used and how the people who say and hear it understand it. "Princess" said sarcastically can mean someone high maintenance who acts superior to others. Here, I'll use a Japanese example:

Kisama(貴様) is a word often translated to be similar to "you bastard" or some equally rude way to say "you", but was originally a honorific "Originally used as a term of honor and respect in the correspondence of samurai households, used to refer to social superiors."

As for some of your other examples, I had a polish teacher. You selected "poles" as an example (I assume because of the similarity with shortening the word), but he told us Polack was a derogatory term we shouldn't use for him. This is a word some polish themselves will use, but is still derogatory.

Another example is "paki", which is also a shortened word, but originated in the UK as a slur for Pakistani immigrants. In racist style, they also extended it to people in similar regions as Pakistan, similar to how many racists would just call Asians "chinese".

Lots of terms become offensive over time. Even Oriental just meant eastern, in contrast to Occidental for Western. Negro comes from black, and an older and less racist set: sinister.

Sinister today is known as sneaky in an evil way, but it originally meant left handed. Dexter being the opposite, right handed. Yet dexterous today means good with hands while sinister just has the negative connotation.

Also my first year, so cheers! (I'm 6 years older than you too.)

Actually, it makes perfect sense. Being a Kennedy is traumatic. Behind the Bastards did a set of episodes on him, and between the deaths and other weird things (including giving them too much power and bad parenting in general) I'm not surprised at all how he turned out.

Huh, I thought it was a Hunter X Hunter reference with the huge tree (wasn't metal though). One of the chimera ants is mixed with a shrike and impaled it's victims as well. Got taken out quick though, once spoiler spoiler spoiler, so wasn't that important an antagonist.

In one accident the only one who survived was a girl who stayed strapped into her seat.

Some theorize that staying strapped in saved her life.
