I mean, it’s almost like if we keep those statues up, in a museum or otherwise, there’s no reason one couldn’t plausibly (in the name of “history”) put up a statue of say, Hitler or- oh, wait, now I get it. Silly me.

Hey now, I was just providing an answer to your question. For anyone in the US, I understand throwing your vote behind the lesser of two evils when there aren’t any other viable options. After all, the Democrats aren’t solely a party of right leaning centrist neoliberal buffoons. There are also some pretty fantastic…

And the fun part is, the “principles” they are so committed to amount to just pretending they are committed principles, while admonishing those who have them. All to support the status quo, regardless of what that status quo becomes. In other words, they are endlessly committed to a belief in literally nothing,…

Except that with each year, the entire political spectrum in the US seems to move further to the right. So, while what is considered right wing goes even harder in that direction, what is centrist drifts further right in turn, as does what is considered left. Such that Eisenhower would be considered a straight up…

Simple. Say you have a choice between eating a shit sandwich, and a giant douche. At the very least, you can digest a shit sandwich, as awful as it would be. A giant douche on the other hand is made of plastic, and eating it would be more likely to kill you.

Ah yes, brings me back to those heady pre 9/11 days:

Yeah, the only place that really happens is the US though... So I guess... Hooray for gun control!!!

And now I will have nightmares. Thanks. Ya dick. ;)

Right?! We almost lost you once Fahey, please be careful!!

Thanks Allison! I loooove these sorts of articles! More food history pleeeease!

I mean, I truly think it’s a good thing when any meat eater chooses to eat meat less often. If that’s honestly what you prefer, awesome. I would never tell anyone to do what anyone else does food-wise, because what I eat (like you I’m sure) isn’t a performance. I eat how I eat, and that’s cool. When eating becomes…

More importantly, does the Starship have enough payload capacity to carry a Changli?

See that’s something I can kinda understand. Still sort of hilarious, but it has a purpose. In her case though, it was literally just that she didn’t want to feel bad about eating a beef burger (and I doubt it was because of the poor cows, but rather her waistline or something), yet still needed some dead animal…

Omg thank you. Luckily I got out of that industry just before the pandemic hit. We had a joke in the places I worked/managed: “I’m keto, sometimes vegetarian, gluten free, nut free, dairy free and allergic to soy. What can I get?” “The fuck out”. But yes, in all honesty, you just have to grin and bare it. I myself…

Not exactly surprising now that I look back on it, but I can distinctly remember at least a few occasions where a customer (always female and a faux “health conscious”, “gluten-sensitive but not celiac”, “is it fair trade organic? because I need fair trade organic!” type of person) ordered a veggie burger, and…

Thanks. Ya, like I said above, it’s definitely a little creepy... but I gotta say people claiming this represents pedophilia or something don’t really make a lot of sense to me. 16 years old is not a child, 16 years old is a teen who can be tried as an adult in court, join the armed forces as a reservist and is 2…

It’s not Russian. It’s Ukrainian. Ukraine being a part of the USSR at the time, Antonov obviously produced lots of planes used in Russia, but after the collapse of the USSR, Antonov became a Ukrainian company, same with its planes.

Wait, so what’s the age of majority/consent in the States then? Here in Canada, it’s 16 (which was raised from 14 by the previous Prime Minister, Steven Harper), so this wouldn’t be considered criminal here unless there was some sort of blackmail or coercion involved. Pretty creepy, sure. But not against the law or…

I remember being a kid, and just chowing the hell down on processed, “cheddar” Kraft Singles. I’m Canadian, so it was never called “American Cheese” where I come from. We invented that garbage, after all. But ya. It’s gross, yet for all intents and purposes, as an Ontarian child in the early/mid 90s, I relished…

Reminds me of the old Tomcat arcade game!! I can’t find a picture of it, but it looked a lot like the one for Afterburner...
