Question which sounds more fun: doing donuts 🥱💤 or whipping shitties 🔥🔥

Is this going to be the next “Nothing can be done… says the only nation where this happens regularly” headline that gets posted several times per year?

When this turns out to be a disgruntled MAGA nut, I hope they reflect fondly on " We are all domestic terrorists".

A good brownie with sea salt sprinkled on top is most definitely essential!

Have you had the banana cream Twinkies? Probably not as good as the OG ones, but definitely a nice treat when you come across them!

I for one respect his ability to stick his neck out for his beliefs.

We don’t hate you, we just wish you’d leave us alone and not ask why we’re being so quiet 😂

But no, as an introvert who likes hanging with familiar people (extroverts included!), but dreads the idea of meeting new people, what you’re describing legit sounds like some kind of super power to me.

I don’t know man, there’s a depressingly large number of women who–due to low self esteem or related issues–embrace tons of this toxic masculinity shit because it makes them feel more valuable to the shitbags who spew it.

I personally don’t care for the phrase because it feels a bit misogynistic, but “pick-me girl” is a common word for it.

These days I pirate the music, and if I like it I go back and buy the album directly from the band (when possible). If i really like it, I buy concert tix/merch. If it doesn’t tickle my fancy, then I don’t.

In either case, I don’t think the artist is too worried about the pennies lost from my Spotify plays.

Yes, that’s what that word means!

And then “why are people shooting us CEOs in the streets in broad daylight?”

Edit for clarification

Millennial here agreeing with you. Its slang, who cares? And if you do care, why the hell are you blaming the slang users instead of the forces causing it?

Slang has always been a result of kids evolving language to meet the needs of their generation, which usually involves trying to subvert normie-speak in one way or another. Make it hard for them to use certain language, and they improvise, adapt, and overcome. I find it really hard to draw a clean line between things like 50s hipster slang, leet-speak from the 90s, and whatever is going on now.

Would it blow your mind if I told you all the 2K sports games were released by 2K? 😁

Playing Devil’s Advocate - If the classification of “munitions” effectively provided all the legal protections and requirements that they wanted to apply to encryption software, it would have been a lot of wasted time and effort to create a new classification and then update all the other legal documents to include and refer to that new classification.

Like, I don’t even want to guess how many references to “munitions” exist in various laws and regulations that would have then needed to be reviewed, amended, debated in committees, and ultimately voted on.

Not sure if its national, but in the Midwest, we have Naf Naf Grill, which is like the Chipotle of middle eastern food. Delicious by fast food standards, and I don’t get why middle eastern / mediterranean food isn’t bigger in the US. And to your point specifically, Indian food seems like it would fit the same template really well!

Think of it like two groups of people in separate rooms with a large open window between them. Not everyone is trying to talk one on one to the other group all the time. And sometimes just feeling like you’re in the same physical space can be nice.

It’s not perfect, but in many circumstances it’s worlds better than having tiny portable windows that mostly facilitate one on one conversation.

I’ve thought the same thing, Trying to hold a video call between families using a phone or even a laptop is such an awkward experience, especially if you want to just hang out virtually for an extended time like you said.

But it wouldn’t even have to involve a separate box or docked phone. Everyone’s got a smart TV that can run apps, so all it should take is a USB webcam with a decent far-field mic.

But yeah, in general I’m surprised this isn’t more of a common use case.

I’m pretty sure the cancer is half the reason it tasted so good!

Used to drink out of the hose all the time growing up in the 80s, but it was usually after playing in the sprinkler or otherwise running the hose for quite awhile. But never really thought twice about it either way.

Now as an adult the hose water always has this super appealing nostalgic smell, but I don’t run it very often, and the idea of whatever might be lurking in that stagnant water just squicks me out too much to take a swig :(
