    Way too many shades of 2001 around right now. That was a bad, bad hit. 

    We’ve been beyond the pale for a long, long time now. Said it before, say it again: There is no bottom, not for the Liar-in-Chief and his shitballs hanging off his butt hair.

    Idiots keep thinking the Liar-in-Chief has a bottom below which he will not go.

    mall parking lots. I don’t understand the parking lot part, but okay

    Our cats think I’m their bed. If I’m lying down, they’re laying on me. *mutter*

    Y’know, I read that in Bubba Wallace’s voice from the Roval after Bowman put Bubba into the wall....

    Don’t assume that she did nothing between 1996 and 2019. Because if you’ve read the article, you’d see that she did a lot before and after 1996.

    Well, bless your heart, hon. Getting snitty will get your condescended to as a polite way of telling you to stuff your snittiness.

    Yes, because whipping out the dictionary and claim a denotative meaning is the only definition that exists is a good way to convince people to your side. Not. /s.

    First of all, I used to teach college students the Toulmin Model of argument. So for me, more evidence than just statistics or their results takes into account the whole kit and kaboodle of information, including logos, ethos, and pathos. It’s not just a cluster of symptoms that are charted through statistics and then…

    Here’s the thing—if all you use is statistics, then you miss a lot of other types of evidence. Scientific method is not the only method off analysis, and it’s not the only logic system, and it’s not always the best system to logic by. Also, statistics are created by reading signs, i.e. the so-called anecdotal…

    You have a very different definition of by-product than I have. My definition of by-product is stuff made by animals, like milk, honey, or eggs. If it’s been butchered, it’s still part of the animal, not something the animal can give without getting killed.

    Anecdotal, my migraine is not. It's quite real if I get rosemary, sage, or too much MSG, among other things. There may not be statistics to support, but the signs are unmistakable. 

    I don’t consider rendered fat to be an animal by-product. I also try to avoid anything with geletin in it, too, because it’s not a by-product. It’s not spit-up, milked, or laid. Suet comes from butchering the animal and removing the fat from around the organs.

    Suet means the non-meat version of this pie is still a meat version. Can we not on the “there’s no meat in here!” because forgetting that suet is fat from pigs or cows means lying to vegetarians about if the dish has meat in it.
