What's really the difference if life-saving legislation can't pass either way? It's all well and good to have a [razor-thin] majority in the Senate, but if the only measurable result is procedural control then it just doesn't matter.

I watched the series today and by the end I couldn’t believe anyone inclined to watch a superhero series could possibly dislike it. The writing was solid and every actor was beyond charming. While making fundamental (and necessary) changes, it captured the essence of what made the comics great.

Someone reported a man with a gun in a nation with the [absurd] right to bear arms? And he gets executed in the fucking street for that? I wonder if the same response would have occurred if they reported a white man with a gun...j/k, I don't wonder about that at all.

How many were coerced by their family/community into trying to carry pregnancies to term? It's not like Ohio was abortion-friendly before the Supreme Court went full Gilead.

There’s something about the idea of slavery that compels a certain type of person to fantasize about being a slave owner. It’s a shame that some of those want to force their fantasies on children.

Wow. That sounds like an absolute nightmare. Even in my former suburb where there wasn’t even a chain pizza place within a mile I could get Pizza Hut delivered until 1 a.m.

We are a Red Baron family here. Basic pepperoni is surprisingly good with a nice crust, good cheese, and pretty flavorful sauce. We’ve of course tried a variety of fancier - more expensive - frozen pizza options but none have been good enough, especially when price and cooking simplicity are factored in.

Indeed. Frankly, I find the idea of eating bread after rice truly unappetizing. Also, leftover sauce from a restaurant entree means the place is using too much sauce.

Enough people with names tell people to “buy the dip” and a lot of suckers will line up to do it. Given the collapses/withdrawal restrictions of so many crypto businesses, any bounce is going to be small and followed by another long fall.

Probably not, but Netflix is in a mess of trouble now that there are multiple strong competitors in the streaming space. Sarandos clearly believes in the maxim that says "any press is good press." He's wrong of course, but he's desperate for Netflix to continue seeming relevant.

I admit I haven’t tried their newest burrito yet. I’ve heard it’s decent. As for their current potatoes, I just don’t care for them as a filling (they’re pretty good in their bowl form). They’re supposed to be crispy on the outside but I’ve not once gotten that texture, and to me that’s key for potatoes in a burrito.

Unfortunately, Taco Bell dropped their decent burritos (grilled stuffed XXL) from their menu and won’t bring back what I consider their best burrito ever (their original steak burrito). Man, I can still taste the latter with steak, pico, their seasoned tater tots, and sour cream. It was simple, had actual flavor, nice…

Yup. While I don’t revel in my actions when sucking the filling out of a particularly wet burrito, it saves my voluminous beard from a mess. It’s usually bite the very end, suck if necessary, bite, suck, etc. One can substitute a squeeze (like toothpaste) for the suck, but the risk of a tortilla tear becomes very…

Exactly, and for what? So that the guy ends up with a $500 fine and a 2-hour anger management course? At most?

Bog-standard narcissism and sociopathy. Isn't that exactly why people watch these shows?

If children are feeling uncomfortable with learning about the horrors of slavery and institutional racism, I can’t help but suspect that it’s because they’re being taught at home that racism is okay.

No, it’s been “person is violent jerk in bar.” That’s a big fucking difference.

Why “Oh no?” It sounds like you’ll be getting a huge update for your sub-$3 game. You should be saying “Oh cool.”

It’s irrelevant to you but online ordering makes custom ordering much easier and can, done properly, speed up the whole process. The latter is likely where McDonald’s is experiencing gains because, historically, their drive-through performance has been spotty.

Soft serve ice cream, like Krispy Kreme as a whole, is pointless. If you’ve simply got to get your sugar on, find some real ice cream (or custard or gelato) or some real doughnuts. In the US at least there is no shortage of these products that are actually good.
