        If this is true, I envy you for being shielded from the abomination of a measurement system USC is 🥲

        People in Australia still use feet and inches for height even though they use it practically no where else, and I’m guessing most people could not use it reliably in any other context.

        “That guy is 6 feet tall”

        Australians: “Oh, okay”

        “That’s 50 feet away”

        Australians: “What”

        Drives me nuts. I will be that annoying person who prompts people to say it in metres or cm. “I’m 180” (said as “one-eighty”) is just as fast, and in a system we actually understand.

        Ugh.

    What’s the difference between Trump and a disgusting sandwich full of shit? The sandwich isn’t a convicted rapist.

        He lost the rape case, but it was a civil case so well done. We’re all impressed with your pedantry.

        OK, technically, he was found “liable for battery and defamation”; effectively, though, it was rape.

        “The finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was ‘raped’ within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape,’ ” Kaplan wrote.

        He added: “Indeed, as the evidence at trial recounted below makes clear, the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that.”

        Kaplan said New York’s legal definition of “rape” is “far narrower” than the word is understood in “common modern parlance.”

        The former requires forcible, unconsented-to penetration with one’s penis. But he said that the conduct the jury effectively found Trump liable for — forced digital penetration — meets a more common definition of rape. He cited definitions offered by the American Psychological Association and the Justice Department, which in 2012 expanded its definition of rape to include penetration “with any body part or object.”

          And in a civil trial you simply need to show that he was more likely than not to have done it. A criminal trial has a higher standard of “beyond a reasonable doubt”.

          It’s not just word games.

        Ok let me fix it for you: “What’s the difference between Trump and a disgusting sandwich full of shit? The sandwich isn’t a rapist.”

        Happy now? Convicted or not, he is a rapist, and was best friend with the most notorious pedo of the past 50 years, so 98.7% chance he is a pedophile.

          Just to be clear here, Trump didn’t rape the porn star Stormy Daniels. He raped E. Jean Carroll. The hush money he sent to Stormy Daniels was to keep her quiet about the consensual extramarital affair he had with her.

          She hasn’t alleged rape? Do liberals just make things up like they claim magats do? Surely “both sides” don’t just make up stuff?

    “Now this—this is the greatest sandwich ever created. We’re talking historic. It’s got the best balloney—the best, not that fake deli junk—they say it’s 100% truth meat, just like me. The Russian dressing? It’s strong, it’s bold, it respects strength. Putin himself said, ‘Donald, this dressing is beautiful.’ And the pickle—tiny, yes, but it gets the job done. Tremendous flavor, very efficient. Some people are even saying it’s a perfect sandwich—maybe even the most masculine sandwich of all time. Crooked media won’t admit it, but they’re eating it too, behind closed doors. Everybody wants a bite of the Trump Sandwich. It wins. It just wins.”

    I guess technically this doesn’t break rule 2. But it is getting pretty hard to avoid Trump stuff flooding everything.

    We need to oppose him for sure, but for our own sanity we also need some spaces where he doesn’t feature at all.

        They have! I heard (unsourced admittedly) that they help out smaller breweries a lot too, going as far as donating old equipment to help get them off the ground which I think is so cool of them
