One of the first things I learned in my rhetoric class in college some 12 years ago, is that when you start a a comment and then immediately qualify or undermine it, that means you didn’t really believe in the first thing you said. For example, “I understand that peaceful protesters have a point, but I really would…

It’s funny because what once was a symbol of fierce independence has been co-opted by a bunch of gun-toting LARPers that gladly lick the boot of the current administration, which is edging toward fascism. I’d argue that OP does, in fact, understand that symbol, which is why it’s so funny. You know, because people like…
In fact, it’s a really racist look.
Or, you know, because you chose to come to The Root is how you knew it was on The Root. Like, you had to type that into your URL bar, click on a story, scroll down to the comments, click “reply”, and then jerk yourself off. Next time, just skip to the part where you jerk yourself off and then go the fuck away.
And look at you, virtue signaling for diametrically-opposite fake internet karma points.
Did you check out after the initial incident? Because this is WAY bigger than just 4 cops (with a lengthy record of complaints against them) killing a black man in the street.
My first thought was, “he’s agreeing with you, but really kinda being a dick about it”.
Escapism is a powerful drug. You’re basically saying, “yeah yeah, black people are getting killed by police and there are nationwide riots being met by highly militarized police, but it’s more important for me to watch a stream of a video game console that I won’t be able to buy for another 5 months”. When a brand has…
Nah, more like selling dollar vouchers for 50 cents and waiting for investors to pile in, inflate the stock price, then you, the primary shareholder, bail out and make a big profit while investors are left holding worthless shares.
I lived in Indiana until June of 2019. I don’t recall seeing poke shops, even in the metro Indianapolis area.
For a long while, I could give or take wine. I likely couldn’t pick out a good bottle from a decent bottle (though bad wine is always bad), but in the past few years have gotten tired and bored with beers and cocktails tend to be dangerous, owing to the high ABV. Just a natural progression, I suppose.
Do you drink beer or other alcoholic beverages? Some people just don’t like the fermented flavors that come with the alcohol production process.
You mean, specifically in Indiana or you doubt that people eat poke bowls, in general? Because I currently live in Seattle and my wife and I eat poke bowls every couple of weeks.
Came to say pretty much this. I lived in Indiana for three years and I don’t know that I found a single place that made poke bowls, let alone delivered them. And I was in Indianapolis.
The lie that Republicans actually believe in the central tenets of Judeo-Christian theology is laid bare. They use those concepts when they’re useful, particularly as a weapon against liberals and other secularists, but it was always both a sword and a shield for conservatives to use to either attack their political…
You know that the word “salsa” literally translates to “sauce”, right? If you slapped someone for your own lack of knowledge, I hope they’d slap you right back.
Generally, I think picante does refer to spicy. I guess the “sharp” or piquant flavors here refer to saltiness and tartness?
So...this salsa sounds good, but what makes it “piccante”? Admittedly, I don’t speak Italian, but I took a lot of Spanish as a teen and I’m pretty sure picante and piccante mean the same thing.
