Reply to The menu at my local cheese shop by Sleep-system

I read the title too quickly and thought it read: “The menu at my local chinese shop”

I was terribly confused for a few moments :)

Reply to comment by nanriat in TIL the year is 2079, in Nepal by TheHiveminder

Well you see, the Mauists started gaining power in the Nepali government in the late 90s (our late 90s). They took to murdering Sherpas in a style similar to Pol Pot and so many of them began fleeing the country. And as it happens, many of them setup shop in Queens.

9/11 had a pretty massive effect on the NY economy in general and so housing prices fell right when the fleeing Nepali Sherpa started arriving.

So you see, it all connects. It was in their interest to stay silent.

It’s not the swearing in. There are several US states that actually prohibit atheists from holding office. I live in Texas. Texas is one of them.

Now granted, it wouldn’t hold up today - hopefully. But there’s definitely still a law for it.
