I'll be so glad when this election is over and he can just lose the rest of his criminal cases and get sentenced, or have his final Big Mac Attack and dodge justice forever.
I just got into lemmy, and compared to reddit he seems refreshingly scarce here. Come to think of it so does Bonespurs.
Same. At least Bonespurs will probably soon have his final Big Mac Attack and the news will be all about MAGA self destructing as the hangers-on claw each other to pieces to get on top. Musk has a lot more years left in him. His smartest move would be to announce that he's trans and make social media implode like a supermassive black hole.
A few years ago I was in a local place where the food and service were both entertainingly bad. For decades it had been a wonderful little Greek restaurant, until the couple who ran it moved to Greece for a well-deserved retirement and their son took it over. The son remodeled and reopened it as a combination Greek/sushi restaurant and sports bar, hanging five or six large screens from the ceiling. In a place slightly larger than my living room.
I was eager to try the sushi. "There's no sushi tonight. Dennis isn't here." Oh, alright, when is Dennis here? "We don't know. Maybe Wednesday. He never says." Well alrighty then. Dennis is livin' the dream I guess. So I ordered spanakopita, another favorite. What I received was a brown chunk resembling a giant Totino's pizza roll, on an otherwise bare plate, where it dryly slid around all by itself. It looked and tasted like a Costco product they took out of a package and over-microwaved. The driest, crispest spanakopita I've ever had.
I took a chance and ordered the baklava. It tasted okay but instead of being flaky it was actually soggy - not as in dripping with butter and honey, I mean watery. The only watery baklava I've ever had, and also the only serving of baklava in my life that I did not finish.
A guy dining at the next table asked the waitress for the check, but said he would like a cup of coffee first. I was directly facing the clock and happened to notice it was exactly 7pm. At 7:10 she returned with their check and said, "We're out of coffee." Wat? They're open for another 3 hours and they're out of coffee LOL? And it took a full 10 minutes to return with this info. It's a tiny place, I could see the coffee machine like 12 ft away. And there are like six customers. Seemed like a dismally bad restaurant in a sitcom, reminding me somewhat of the diner in The Dark Backward.
There were a couple other things but that's all I can remember. Anyway, this new version of the place didn't last long and it's permanently closed now.
The $100,000 watch was made in the part of Switzerland that's in China. Beautiful sweatshops, very special.
I'm a man who hates watching videos on my phone, but I'm already married. I'll ask around tho.
On a deeper level I think it's mostly a framework of acceptability some people have built around being antisocial and afraid of everything.
LOL I've done this many times. It's a matter of pride. I don't want people to be like, did a cat park this?
You'll know you're in trouble if you're arguing and he stares blankly and starts jabbing his finger at the air.
Boggles my mind that anybody intends to vote for Trump not Harris because they think he'll be better for Palestine.
Well first, his cronies DGAF about him, he's just a stepping stone for their own gain. Second, I really doubt Bonespurs will ever face tangible consequences for his whole destructive existence. He'll continue to delay, delay, delay, have his final Big Mac Attack and dodge justice forever. On the plus side, the scrambling rats clawing each other apart to fill the giant void should keep the GOP in chaos for years.
What better way to tackle a crucial swing state as we near the finish line. He's turned into Kamala's best promoter. I'm loving this!
Many Indians I've worked with are sort of semi-vegetarian, eating meat but only on certain days. I think that's specific religious doctrine rather than a general attitude about animals - like Catholics eating fish on Friday.
The response I've heard for that one is that domesticated animals are dependent on us because we've bred their survival capabilities out of them. People originally just captured wild animals and put a fence around them. Selectively breeding only the more docile ones has turned them into something they wouldn't have been without our interference. To me that part makes sense, but the present reality is still what it is, and what you're saying is still true.
Playing devil's advocate, this could be sidestepping the issue, because the honey is only an unintended side effect from your friend's POV, not the bee's.
I think that's actually a very valid point. What level of involvement in producing the food makes it vegan or not vegan? If eating honey is unethical I would think so is eating food produced by the hard work of another person.
Zoidberg once heard Fry say blood was thicker than water and wrote down: "Blood...thicker!"
