Wait, hard-boiled? I was initially impressed by the muscle control it takes to get an egg up there intact, but now I am less impressed.

It’s like the “free money” ATM glitch that tiktokers discovered a while back. Hint: It’s called fraud and it’s a very bad idea to film yourself doing it and posting it on the internet.

What sovcits don’t understand is that even if their magical legalese made logical sense it wouldn’t matter, because what determines the outcome of any legal proceeding isn’t the letter of the law, but the interpretation of it by those tasked with carrying it out.

Then the solution is simply to not post it at all. It’s childish.

The way people seem to get whipped up into a frenzy over the thorn makes it inappropriate to include their username in the post. It’s an invitation for targeted harassment to make a post saying “isn’t what this one specific user does super-duper annoying? Please bitch about them with me in the comments.”

I use Actual and it’s very barebones, no BS, does one thing and does it well. Great if that’s what you’re looking for.

The clip you linked to didn’t clarify any of that… he just said it was something “no one’s ever done or heard of.” But it has been done - first by some movie stars in a film about Rome and then by fascists. And, well, I’ve heard of it.

The “Roman salute” isn’t real, it’s from a movie. The fascists - who believed the Roman salute was a real thing because they lack critical thinking - copied it. It is 90 years old, not 2000.

The last image is likely referring to this. Contracting prisoners out to private companies is a common practice all across the US, but particularly in Alabama and other former chattel slave economies. Southern slave plantations continued operating during reconstruction by using prison labor. The reason we have the largest per capita prison population in the world is because slavery never truly ended, it just adapted.

Customers, pfff. You mean slaves.

I don’t think Zohran is as committed to the democratic party as you think. He is a member of the DSA and ran as part of their party surrogate strategy. I think he’s playing nice with the NYPD for the same reason that Mexican politicians have to play nice with the cartels. He knows NYC political history and has seen what happens when you face them head-on.

The idea is that it’ll make people more cautious drivers around you. It doesn’t work because people generally transform into sociopaths the moment they enter a vehicle.

Reasonable doubt that the guy is a cryptofascist is disqualifying enough without the need for certainty. I do believe that people can change, and there are circumstances where I would accept someone like Platner into the progressive movement, but not in a leadership position, and not before he has proven himself with actions rather than just words. A lot of progressives - yourself included - are so desperate for leadership that they’re willing to look past several huge red flags for someone who says the right things. Consider for a moment the possibility that there are people out there who are aware of this particular vulnerability and willing to take advantage of it.

In your hypnagogic state you experienced extremely short-term source amnesia.

I would assume the Liver cancer they mentioned is the terminal disease they’re referring to. It sounds like the guy has multiple chronic health conditions, which isn’t all that uncommon.

To give some perspective on why this is the case from an American, it isn’t that a bunch of parents are asking / going out of their way to get this done, it’s that the doctors almost always offer it with the justification that it’s a preventative measure against infections, and the parents generally don’t question it due to how commonplace it is already. The cultural reasons that started this haven’t been popular for decades and it’s only the medical establishment that’s keeping this going.

I wish I could do this in reverse. My palms always be sweatin’.

I’m making this comment with a OnePlus 6T I got 8 years ago when it was new and it has never needed repairs, so I wouldn’t exactly call it dogshit. Even the battery still lasts a couple days of heavy use before needing a charge, though that may have more to do with my efforts in reducing software overhead over the years. (Also making sure almost everything I ever view on it has an AMOLED dark background)
