My wife is a great cook. She got COVID 1 year ago and it totally jacked with her taste buds. Anything with meat (besides fish) tastes like you have a mouth full of quarters. Certain other protein-y things do this at well (most nuts).

once again proving that falafel is the superior plant based fried food. 

I’m honestly surprised it took them a full 4 hours to leave the scene, get back to the station, change back into their uniforms and drive back to the house they just shot at.

1. Guilty for defrauding investors

lol what a fucking idiot. 

Right, because the only options are turning into Diet Republicans and swearing blind fealty to the party or sitting out elections and letting fascism take over, right?

I just stopped by to say that there shouldn’t be any interest charged on government backed student loans. Not now, not ever again. If we can’t have debt free university (like a civilized country) right away, the least we can do is only require students to pay down the principle. This would help a lot of people who are…

They don’t want to be in power, just in office. Being in power is the nightmare scenario for a lot of Democrats. They have to work and make changes, and risk ticking off donors if they do. They don’t want to do that. The goal of most Democrat officials is to sit in an office, be given money, and when asked to do…

Democrats like snatching defeat from the jaws of victory as much as they like maintaining the status quo into almost inevitable fascism.

That is a different issue. That some judges let people off too lightly does not make mandatory minimums right. It means that there should be greater oversight on judges, and more means of rectification if they do consistently let certain types of criminal off too lightly. There are mechanisms for prosecutors to appeal…

“I suffered, so you should too!”

Terrible (but all too common) take for a host of reasons. First, there’s a MASSIVE difference between a private company (bank) loaning a private company (a business) money. That’s two private groups doing business. And guess what happens if the company can’t pay the loan? They go into bankruptcy and get it…

under no circumstances should Congress or any President try to forgive all those loans

The student CHOSE to take out those loans knowing full well they have to be repaid.

I honestly think the criminal justice system is fundamentally incapable of dealing with issues like rape and sexual assault. Because it doesn’t exist to support victims, no matter how shows like SVU portray it. It exists to get convictions, to put people in prison. Meaning it exists to facilitate sexual assault, which…

It doesn’t help that those politicians are generally schills who will sell out to whomever will toss them the most support. In this case i’m fairly certain it’s to the evangelical groups who really push the pro-life agenda. They’ve got the money, and apparently money equals buying power when it comes to politicians.…

It’s not a review!

I was very conscious of this as I wrote. I’m an old-fashioned leftie, and I’m delighted by the more progressive direction in which gaming is heading, while very aware that it still abundantly caters for those so terrified by the thought of being kind to people who don’t look like them.

Few points:
