Woo!

A scoop of vanilla ice cream, topped with a little “chili crunch” oil - salty and sweet, spicy and creamy… it’s great.

I don’t go to McDonalds much any more, but I’d get fries and a vanilla shake to do that with, as a treat!

I remember reading at the start of Covid in the US, when the government was saying “masks are dumb”, but local churches were going “masks save lives”, the churches were surprised at how much pushback they were getting.

Turns out raising someone from a young age to believe without questioning, and look up to one person as their only source of truth, and ignore compelling scientific evidence, is pretty hard conditioning to break.

How’s that any different from today?

(Just kidding, gallows humor)

Seconded - Fuuuuuuck that jelly-bean-eating bastard.

I do like jelly beans though.

I think you have a valid point that echo chambers are bad, and that we should all strive to find good sources and not just rely one one side of the story.

But -

I think we have. Lots of people understand that idea, and lots of people have kept open channels to ideas outside what they believe. And I can only speak for myself, but MY “other side” time observing and participating in conservative forums online, talking with people in my very-red state, and watching Fox News, has done nothing to convince me that i need to hear one god-damn word from either of those two lying, conniving jack-asses.

One dude’s opinion. Your mileage may vary. Please consult your doctor before starting any kind of exercise program. Thanks for your time.

Who f’ing cares…. Neither of those two has anything to say, that needs to be heard.

I like it!

My thoughts as well… “here’s what to know: the Supreme Court is corrupt as hell”

Strong stuff, and I’m here for it! I hope he suffers the indignity of itching, without the relief of scratching!

Unironically, I totally agree. Commentator is dumb and redundant, commenter is the superior alternative.

Just because you do it for a living, doesn’t mean that it’s a different title; a carpenter doesn’t become a carpentator because it’s a paying job. A pilot doesn’t become a pilotator when they get paid for it.

Hahaha nice - I heard the punchline as “It’s called ‘twerpies’ - and the worst part is that it’s un-tweetable!”

Unrelated, but did’ja hear about the communicable disease you can get from talking on the phone? Hearing AIDS!

I feel like the current establishment wouldn’t allow an FDR-style candidate to succeed, they’re making too much money from protecting the status quo.

But I’ll still grudgingly support them if Trump is the other option. I’ll vote progressive in my local elections, but as long as we still have a first-to-the-post election process, it’s always the lesser of two evils.

Isn’t it the case that whoever wins this one, they’ll be the oldest president in US history? Gross.

High-speed rail

Not sure if this is what you’re describing, but phones like the one you pictured have a reversible tab for use if you mount the phone to a wall - if the tab is sticking up, it keeps the receiver from falling off the cradle.

Here’s a site selling them, but it has a diagram showing where it’s located:

I thought the same - not a stick in the most traditional sense, but heck I’d give it a swing!

THAT’S THE MOST BOMB-ASS MEME I’VE SEEN IN A MINUTE, MF’ER!!

SO I’D SURE SAY IT’S HELPING, NO MATTER WHAT YOUR PERSONAL DEPENDS SITUATION IS!!

HELL YEAH, BROTHERS (AND SISTERS, AND OTHERS)!!!

FLIP THAT SWITCH TO ‘CRANKED’ AND THEN RIP IT RIGHT OFF! AROOO!

APPLEBEES JUST CAN’T HANDLE SO MUCH AWESOMENESS - THEY’RE KICKIN’ YOU OUT FOR THEIR OWN SELF-PRESERVATION!!
