This is a bad take. I assume this is because you don’t use cannabis, and therefore are talking out your ass. I know many people who enjoy it and you wouldn’t know they were high if they were next to you at a party. The “whoa duuuude” stereotype is just a comical exaggeration. Are there people who make their whole…

[Not interested in conversing with anyone who doesn’t think JKR—a far right conservative who unapologetically retweets self-identified fascists and transphobes these days—should be totally de-platformed and re-educated at the very least]

Posturing against education, science, and intellect is a basic tenet of the American right. They tell folks with little education that they are just as informed as those "eggheads" who spend their life studying things, they tell the dim witted that they are just as intelligent as those who have achieved great things.…

Also the quote: “I went a convent...a cloistered convent...”

It’s a “substitute good” in Economics parlance...not the same thing but does the same general job.

The commenters out here offering free copy editing to a company that won’t hire or pay decent ones.

The elimination of Usury laws under Reagan is yet another thing that continues to plague this nation. Every civilized country in the world for the last few centuries has had laws limiting interest charges and rates, except (since the 1980s) the USA. Dante had a special place in Hell for the Usurers.

Reading is hard. IceCycle up there really had to thread the needle to miss the point.

It would be funny if it wasn’t so depressingly, idiotically, true.

I think the credibility kind of fades at the end... Drake? J.Cole? some weak sauce.

Count me in the group that doesn’t “get” why everyone is crazy for Chik Fil A. It’s an OK chicken sandwich. Nothing world shaking. But the one near me is a 30 minute drive through wait from open to close. Cars wrapped around it, out into the street. Madness...

Such a great neighborhood back then.

Early 2000s in Wicker Park/Ukrainian Village area was the best collection of dives I’ve ever had the pleasure of frequenting: Gold Star, Inner Town, Happy Village, Zakopane: Little town in the Mountains, Rainbo... all within about a quarter mile area.

This goes for Parmesan (Parmigiano) as well. The cheap stuff is a pale imitation. Also cheese stuffed olives- stuff them yourself with good cheese, the bottles of “Bleu Cheese Stuffed Olives” mean the “cheese” has been in the brine since bottling. You won’t taste the cheese really (and it’s likely not good quality…

Outrage merchants are everywhere on this site.

Sweet! A thinly disguised ad post! Just go work copy for an Ad agency, it pays better.

I mean, I guess it’s fair game to use a baseball bat on Houston until his skull is more of a bean bag, because he “tempted” me into it by being a massive scabrous pile of shit. Same rules apply, no?

Yeah, second that. My mother was born in 1941, and she prefers Pepsi. Growing up she would give us Pepsi and Milk occasionally. As an adult I asked her where that came from, and she told me her Father, a WWII vet with 7 kids, would be the only one to get Pepsi at the dinner table. If he was in a generous mood, the…

Checks out.

Not a great move considering they will be asking for their votes in the future. In a morally correct sense, yeah, but Democracy isn’t actually great at producing ethically/morally sound outcomes.
