I never heard about it when I lived in the UK. I currently live in Japan, and although there are some places that serve it in major cities, there seems to be only one bar that specializes in it. Even that bar seems to sell more shochu than pisco, so I would say it's quite niche here.

I'm only half white. Am I not pure enough to become an insufferable elitist?

They are. They taste like fruit juice but must be at least 25-30% alcohol.

I can't afford a silk bathrobe. I may be middle-aged, but I'm still a millennial.

I know transphobes don't have a solid grasp of grammar, among many other things, but why would they think that "went" can only be used with singular pronouns? "They went to the store" is correct regardless of whether or not they is singular or plural. A spell checker can't even tell if "they" is being used as a singular pronoun, and it doesn't need to.

There are plenty of one-to-one options online if you choose to go that route. Group lessons might not be ideal for you if your schedule isn't very flexible.

iTalki is quite popular where I live. I use Preply, and although I do have issues with how their system forces tutors to give an unpaid trial lesson where 100% of the fees go to the company, I've been happy with it so far.

Since you've brought Japanese into this, I'd like to share the fun fact that 冗談, the Japanese word for joke, has the same spelling as his name if you write it in katakana (ジョウダン). The Japanese language proves that Jordan Peterson is a joke.

I didn't want to give them clicks, or make my FB feed full of Tory content, so I just made a screenshot. It was easy to find, on Google.

Yes, otters are perfectly valid too.

Twinks, muscle queens, and smooth beardless chubs are equally valid.

He was more a chub than a bear, but I once dated a dad from Fukui, so this kind of makes sense to me. I'm not sure how fond he was of persimmons though.

Does this guy seriously think no white English men have ever taken their shirts off in public, or that they don't sing or chant at football matches?
