...the fuck is happening here?

...whuh?

It's a good question, but they've come to the table with Christian presidents, a Black president, and they'll do the same with a lady president because at the end of the day, the U.S. still has more clout than just about anyone else in the world.

Ugh, that sucks. Still, you could cultivate that little mental narrative whenever you think about her, and let everyone around you wonder what that little cheshire smirk is about.

Oooh, it's like Romy & Michelle's high school reunion happened to you IRL!!

I thought the same thing, but the tone throughout suggests that this isn't necessarily sufficient for her, sooo.....

You know, the best way to truly stick it to her is to find out what school her kid attends, and then volunteer to be a guest speaker where you share your experiences being bullied in 8th grade, and how you were able to overcome them to have this glamorous life. Give specific examples without naming names, imagining…

NAILED IT.

My thoughts exactly.

Yuh-huh. Almost as believable as the "don't run, we are your friends" scene from Mars Attacks.

The points that you raise are valid, but I'd argue that (1) the U.S. has a very different system of legal precedents and jurisprudence than do the constitutional monarchies that have recently limited legal names, so those instances don't strike me as justification for doing that here, and (2) this kind of…

"the religious name was earned by one person and "that one person is Jesus Christ."

So we're back in a U.S. where the names of people of color can be arbitrarily changed by white folk in power. Let's party like it's 1799!

No, they do use whole potatoes. I've had them in Peru and brought them back from trips (they don't count as fresh produce by that point), and they're perfect little spheres. I'm not quite sure how the shape is preserved nowadays, but traditionally the water is pressed out by people gently walking on them.

I don't think that calling someone fat as a shaming device is cool, but seriously. This corpulent chunk of ass-cheese is talking shit about someone else's weight in a non-commiserative context?

Is that ignorant fuck calling me fat? <sigh> Ain't. Nobody. Got. Time. For. This.

Actually, that can work like a dream as long as you follow it up with a few more steps (I just posted a link to steps for making Peruvian chunos, which are freeze-dried potatoes and last for freaking ever).

You can actually "freeze-dry" potatoes by letting them freeze and then thaw, and then pressing the water out of them. I've never done it myself, but Peruvians and Bolivians have been doing it for millenia, and once all the moisture is gone, they'll pretty much last forever.

Yep, that's exactly it.

It's referred to among Atlanta Braves fans as the Tomahawk Chop, and it's done at pretty much every home game they have, set to this music that sounds like it's straight out of an old John Wayne "Injun" style movie. There are probably clips on you tube that you can watch, it's a back-and-forth motion and it's…
