What entirely pointless arguments are you unable to let go of? We’re not about big things like freedom, religion, sexuality, politics or any of the other things society deems important. What entirely worthless hill are you willing to die on?

新年快樂! If that means nothing to you, that’s ok! What it does mean to those who can read traditional Chinese is Happy New Year! This year is the year of the dog. So that’s what we’ll be talking about. Look, they’re all good dogs, Brent – but which dogs are best?
