GONADS125

He hasn’t had anything to do with the company for years. His departure coincided with the company updating the menu as well, as he blocked all efforts to expand it.

Once he was ousted, they started offering different crust options (stuffed, ‘NY’ style, etc.).

Their stockpiles and equipment were neglected over years. They once held a significant strength in their military. But it was systemic corruption that eroded their status as a military superpower. That’s clearly a myth at this point, no doubt…

What kind of battle over cognitive dissonance must people like this face?..

Dude must have an Olympic gold metal for mental gymnastics…

Perhaps Biden should take note of his religious leader…

This makes me think of the Real Water hydrazine poisoning as another example. Or all of the PFAS pollution…

I noticed this Black Friday, almost all name brand items totally disappeared, and most deals were garbage Chinese knockoffs/non-name brand. Then immediately after Black Friday, I saw a huge return of name brands in their featured products/deals.

I also bought a new Microsoft Surface Slim Pen 2 (for $90) recently and got a total Chinese knockoff piece of shit in a package labeled “fashion jewelry.” Total wish.com trash listed as name brand.

Amazon didn’t publish my review (I’m assuming because I said this was becoming a rampant issue on Amazon. Did refund me, but the Chinese knockoff listed as a Slim Pen 2 is still listed on Amazon.

I went and paid the same price on ebay for a factory-sealed brand new legit one. What a change we have undergone when eBay is a safer marketplace than Amazon…

Oh for sure… This was two white ladies flying from Florida to our home state of New Jersey for a funeral. This was also before peak TSA insanity.

But yeah, they passed the melanin check.

Someone did that to my grandma with a huge knife in her bag. My mom was eventually able to convince them someone put it in there, asking them what possible reason would this old lady have to smuggle a giant knife.

I think it was either just to get rid of it, or to see if she got thru, and maybe they’d try to take it back out of her bag on the other side of TSA. We gave her a lot of crap for it.

I’m pasting part of a comment I made a few days ago on a different post:

This is called implicit racism, and it permeates our society to a systemic level. Healthcare can be a good example, and the U.S. criminal justice system is the best example imo.

One thing that really drives home the systemic implicit racism in this country are studies that have people rate black and white men on how strong/large/muscular and threatening they perceive them to be. The black men were perceived to be more threatening and that use of force was more likely to be viewed as justified. Black and white Americans both perceived the black men to be stronger, taller, and more muscular than their equal-sized white counterparts. Source

Another study found that people view black boys as older than they are, and that they are more responsible for their actions than white boys, whose actions were more likely to be excused by the belief of childhood innocence. So our society essentially strips black boys of their perceived childhood innocence. Same Source

Also should definitely be pointed out that Black Americans are incarcerated at a nearly 5 times greater rate than are White Americans. Source

The absolute worst artificial flavoring to me is banana Runts. Literally gag-inducing. Someone showed me banana vodka they said tasted like it and I wanted to puke just imagining it…

Damn, that is so similar…

Thanks for the TIL.

Kendall Almerico, an attorney for the brewery, disagreed.

“Our company is made up of 9,500 people that are white, Black, Hispanic,” Almerico said, referring to the number of shareholders. “We have gay couples, lesbian couples. We have every single — anything you can imagine — in this company. Just like the United States military does.”

That language use not only sounds like bogus justification for thinly veiled bigotry, but it sounds like a disjointed sentence trump would mutter…

This is what happens when you’re an incompetent dictator/military whose only strategies are war crimes/genocide and throwing numbers into the meat grinder.

They try to take entrenched Ukrainain positions by throwing 100s at them to be slaughtered, hoping they will overrun them. If that fails, they try again! They literally have been sending their prison population to the front line to be meat shields for their infantry.

The fact that they have to supplement their infantry with prisoners tells you all you need to know about their incompetency and how dire their situation is.

This is why we need continued/more support for Ukraine. I want this to be over for them as soon as possible, but the US/NATO should see the strategic advantage of russia continuing to exhaust their resources and military/prison population being thrown into the meat grinder in Ukraine. The longer russia wages war with Ukraine, the more definitively impossible it becomes for them to invade any NATO nations.

I mean, let’s be real… it’s already an impossibility for russia to wage war with the US or European NATO countries alone… But it doesn’t make any strategic sense to stop supporting Ukraine in a fight against our greatest enemy, who continues to threaten their neighbors with invasion. Let them further erode their military, munitions, and resources. Then maybe they won’t be able to commit/assist in genocides like they have in Syria.

The Republicans fighting aid bills for Ukraine are just traitors. It’s in the world’s best interest to support Ukraine.

Don’t forget the brain drain once they officially declared war (special military operation) against Ukraine. There was a mass exodus of scholars and intellectuals not wanting to be trapped in russia.

The kind of person who overdoses on bovine/equus de-wormer?

I hate to be the one to make a useless comment, but that name…

Can’t not think of a fusion of Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

Are you directing this at me? If so, a swing and a miss.

I do not feel entitled to your organs. I feel that people ought to donate them, and that those who do not donate are inherently selfish.

Big difference. Be a decent human being and share your organs when you die, so that others can live. Let’s use analogy so you can see how inherently selfish this is.

Suppose you have eaten until you’re full and decide you don’t want the rest. Since you have no more use for the food, you will throw it away in your garbage can at home.

But then you come across 3 or 4 other people who are starving to death, and your food makes the difference between life and death for them.

Do you feel morally compelled to stop and share this food, which has no more use for you? Do you feel like a piece of shit imaging driving past them to throw the food away in your garbage can?

It blows my mind how much the boomers and this current teen/early adult generation seem to have in common… A real step back in technological literacy, critical thinking skills, and ability to scrutinize reputable sources.

Also like many of the boomers is their inability to handle dissenting information/evidence counter to their internalized beliefs. They just shutdown and reorient themselves with comforting information/reassurance seak from their in-group (e.g., FB, reddit echo-chamer).

This is my subjective perspective of course, and I want to point out I’m not asserting it as fact like a jackass.

Ugh, the blind hypocrisy here has reached The Office level… Sweeping generalizations and prejudgements based on sex, by someone claiming to condemn sexism.

Our society has made leaps and bounds in women’s rights and equality, but there’s still so much room to grow and improve. I am a man, and I believe there is still an unfair advantage to being both white and male sex. I believe this is due to inherent explicit and implicit sexism and racism that still permeates our society.

But you are making sweeping generalizations that you claim as a fact. Cite yourself then. Find some reputable research that supports your sexist claims.

There’s a difference between making statements as I have done above vs asserting sweeping generalizations as fact, as you have done.

The historic sexism against women doesn’t mean that in any given situation, men are default at fault, or the greatest offender by number. It’s especially absurd here, where you are making it out like women do not have conflict with one another.

Were you homeschooled all your life? Do you live in a bubble? This is a blatantly false and truly absurd statement that everyone can laughingly dismiss, based on countless counter-examples throughout their personal lives.

The most cunningly ruthless insults I’ve ever heard in my life have all been from women, who I considered to have more emotional intelligence than the average man.

I don’t know… maybe you’re just trolling and I bit…
