@LibertyCappy No. Tucker is pro terrorist. Megyn Kelly is misandrist. Alex is actually retarded, he said so himself. Candace has been a disgusting lying cunt forever. Massie likes the perception of being based, but not the execution. MTG is merely a stupid woman scorned. Don't know the others.

So the MAGA position right now is we used to love Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Joe Rogan, Alex Jones, Candace Owens, Theo Von, Shawn Ryan, Thomas Massie, and Marjorie Taylor Greene but they all turned crazy at the exact same time? Did I get that right?

@AcidicUa @noouback @WayneOWastes @SandyofCthulhu Guns of the South - South African neo-nazis use a time machine to give AK-47s to the Confederacy. Robert E Lee finds a history book and figures out that these are the bad guys.

@noouback @WayneOWastes @SandyofCthulhu Have you considered Harry Turtledove?

The Viet Cong flamethrowered villagers. They were not uniformly good people. After North Vietnam conquered the south, they straight up murdered about 60,000 people in re-education camps and another 250,000 boat people died trying to escape the re-education camps. The bad guys won the Vietnam War, and all my boomer buddies who look on the NVA and VC fondly are blind and deaf and retarded. That includes Lucas. That said, the modern Vietnam are mostly not the evil and corrupt men that were committing the atrocities, and I'm sure they're unaware of those atrocities.

@naijarseydoc @ok6ixx Sleeping is probably the least important part of a sleepover. The main purpose is to socialize and spend time with your friends.

@ok6ixx I get it. I went to pick my son up from a playdate once and the kids were about to eat dinner- pasta and butter. My son and I were shook! He was ready to go lol. My surprise was that she was even allowed to go to a sleepover in the first place. You have a bed. Why sleep over?

my cousin grew up in a jamaican household where her mom cooked heavy every single night, like rice and peas, curry chicken, oxtail type meals so when she was like 5 she went to her first sleepover at a friend's house and when it was time for dinner the mom brought out… grilled cheese and tomato soup my cousin deadass looked at her and said "oh that's nice, but when's dinner the mom was like "honey this iS dinner" she immediately called her parents to pick her up lmaooo when she got home her dad was confused like "i thought you were eating over there?" and she told him what happened her mom was Ashamed like "that is so disrespectful you can't just leave people's houses like that" but her dad could not stop laughing, it seems he brought it up at every family gathering for years

This feels profound at first, but I don't think it's true. There are notable examples like Hannibal Lecter, Shredder, and Immortan Joe, but most villains seem to either cover the whole face (Dr. Doom, Darth Vader, Jason Voorhees) or completely expose it (Joker, Thanos, Red Skull)

@junhagemay There is some wisdom there. In our stories the good guys mask the upper part of their face (Batman, the Lone Ranger) while the bad guys mask their lower face.

この前、日本人側が 「なんでアメリカ人はいつもサングラスをかけているの？」 って質問してたけど、これはその逆版みたいな話だと思う。 日本には「目は口ほどに物を言う」という言葉があるくらい、 相手の感情を読むときに目を重視する文化がある。 だからサングラスで目を隠されると、表情が読みにくくて無意識に少し不安になる。 逆に、サングラス姿でも普通にやり取りできるアメリカ人は、口元で表情を読む比重が日本人より大きいのかもしれない。 コロナ禍で、日本とは比べものにならないくらいマスクを拒否する人が多かったのも、その違いと無関係ではなさそう。

@Sargon_of_Akkad The character needs to do some work and save money to buy a horse.

If you're going to create such a complex fantasy world, then you have to consider how your player characters will be situated in it. The DM here has created his hero to basically be an impoverished beggar, for some reason, rather than the son of a blacksmith or guild member--a man of means. Did the player just pop into existence with nothing? Does he have literally no relationships in this world, no connection to anyone or anything? No kidding your beggar PC can't afford a horse because you rigged the game by starting him with only 6cp and no help. Moreover, this is a very silly and basic problem to overcome. Here is the solution (other than actually giving him a background in the world): a lord has heard of the player's quest, and approaches the PC to tell him that he will provide him with the necessary starting gear, on the provision that the PC brings back a particular amulet or something that can be found at his destination. The amulet has no real monetary value, but is a locket with a picture of his wife, who passed away sadly, and is a sentimental keepsake he had stolen. Problem solved.

@WestsideLAGuy It's always the fat one.

This is the first pic of a Hinge profile. Based on your understanding of female psychology, which one of these girls does this profile belong to?

@ehren_urzu @mask_bastard @GarandThumb1 Dolphins don't have hands!

@mask_bastard @GarandThumb1 Against commercial grade camera drones? Sure. Against porpoise built fpv hunter killers? Lol, nope.

After having done training against FPV drones I can say this is a hard no.

I'm a bit disappointed that the "Billie Eilish Boomerang Idol™️" doesn't involve an actual boomerang. 🪃 It would be a great throwback (pun intended) to the Australian Outback.

@cosplays2021 @twicedominates @catpoopburglar @damnidc__ It evolved from rugby, so there's a lot of similarities. I've played both, so I can tell you there are also a lot of differences. The full name should probably be "American rugby football."

@twicedominates @catpoopburglar @damnidc__ Isn’t that just rugby? Correct me if I’m wrong here. Searched up pictures and it looked like rugby

witnessed the shortest date known to man in the coffee shop guy: “so what’s your favorite sport :)” girl: “oh! I really like football!” guy: “when was the last time Real Madrid won a tournament?” girl: “what?” guy: “that’s lame” so she went ahead, paid at the counter, and said “you can have my coffee” then left

@USofARando @FilmLadd People were criticizing him for being a RINO, like John McCain. The eyepatch was the only thing that made him unique and interesting.

I initially liked him but that didn’t last. I agree he lost the plot. That said, I was appalled the first time I heard him referred to as “Eyepatch McCain” (by Tucker Carlson, if I recall correctly). Dude lost his eye in honorable service to our country and somehow people thought it was cool to make fun of that 🤦‍♀️ .

He served with honor (5 tours of duty). Then somehow generated the impression that he was enriching himself on Wall Street, was accused of drunk tweeting and accused of acting drunk on a Congressional trip (which got him a suspension from Congress from travel), then started a podcast, then wasted time getting into fights with Trump, then Catturd2 online. Subcommittee on Defense Intelligence and Overhead Architecture Chairman, and he's getting into twitter fights with freakin' Catturd2? Really? Dude, what are you even doing here? His proponents would argue that these are all bogus and specious claims against him, but that's a moot point now, right? Something went wrong SOMEwhere. The "eyepatch McCain" accusations stuck. I remember his defending U.S. taxpayers building schools for women in Afghanistan, and trying to guilt us all with it to keep going there. Look, schools for women in Afghanistan are nice for them, sure, but I daresay most Americans just want to win wars and then go home. Not laze around for decades flying pride flags up and down Afghan town squares and teaching them about modern art. Not all Congresscritters need to spend their time in the limelight. I think if he'd stuck to being more of a "nose to the grindstone" Congressman instead, quietly getting stuff done, he'd would've been unopposed this go 'round in both the primary and the general. But somewhere along the way... he lost the plot. And now he lost his primary. Oh well. Next!

@CaptCriticize @LPTN1776 @IDF Now "Silence is violence" to some people. 😬

@LPTN1776 @IDF *technically* that depends on the actions of the other person. Like if a guy says he's gonna kill you, then pulls a gun; pulling a gun faster and shooting him first is the first action of violence (unless speech is violence) is self defense

Israel has the right to defend itself.

@carnageisgolden @Brettdasovic I would also need a bit of alcohol. 🤣🤭

@Brettdasovic Pepsi is better to drink on its own. Come is only for mixing with liquor

The only time Coke doesn't suck is if you get it from McDonald's. Pepsi will always be superior.

@watchmannn @yvessirae People born in 1996 are just now hitting 30.

@yvessirae Haven’t the youngest millennials already pushed past 30 year of age by now, for like a couples years now?

Millennials aren't breaking down at 50 they're burning out at 30. Why? Because Boomers sold a story that no longer works. Millennials were told: "Go to college. Follow your passion. Success will follow." Instead, they inherited a rigged system. Student debt has tripled since 2000. Housing prices are up 150% in just two decades. Entry-level jobs now demand 3+ years of experience, while wages barely moved since the 1990s. The result is brutal. Millennials became the most educated generation in history, yet also the most anxious, overworked, and underpaid. One in four has no savings. 62% live paycheck to paycheck. Nearly half say they feel burned out all the time. Gen Z watched this collapse in real time. That's why 70% prioritize mental health over money, and college enrollment is down 15% since 2010. Gen Z isn't lazy. They're adapting to a system that failed the generation before them.

@Degen_CPA You're looking for a 3/4" architectural scale ruler.

Hi guys, I want to buy a 12 inch ruler, that has all the marks on it, showing the inch, half inch, and quarter inch lines up to 12 inches. But I don't want it to be 12 inches, I want it to be 9 inches in total length, so that each inch is actually 3/4th of an inch. So like a 12 incher ruller that is fake, so that it would make whatever I'm measuring appear larger than what it is. Does anyone know of a place that would sell this?

@grok @Ye_chairman @Dr_TheHistories The image is Xerxes from the movie 300, which is adapted from the comic book inspired by the historical Battle of Thermopylae.

@Ye_chairman @Dr_TheHistories This story comes from ancient historical accounts by Herodotus, not a movie. It details Xerxes I's affair with his niece Artaynte and Queen Amestris's brutal revenge on her family. Factinate based their post on that—check Herodotus' Histories for the full tale!

Xerxes was a notorious womanizer. He had many wives, and yet he still could not keep himself faithful. According to ancient historians, he even took his own niece as a lover. That alone was scandal enough. But what followed was far darker. Xerxes was the King of Kings. No one questioned him. No one punished him. And that included his wife, Queen Amestris. She knew better than to confront her husband directly. Accusing the most powerful man on earth would only humiliate her and change nothing. Instead, she waited. The affair came to light after a royal banquet, when Amestris learned that the woman Xerxes was obsessed with was not just another court favorite, but a member of their own family. Publicly, she remained calm. Privately, she planned. Her revenge was not aimed at Xerxes. It was aimed at the woman he loved. Using the absolute authority of the throne, Amestris ordered the girl seized. What followed was not a symbolic punishment or a quiet exile. Ancient sources describe brutal mutilation carried out under the queen’s command, a calculated act meant to destroy both body and dignity. Xerxes did nothing. The message was unmistakable. The king could betray her. He could humiliate her. But there were consequences he could not undo. In the Persian court, power did not always belong to the man on the throne. Sometimes it belonged to the woman who knew exactly where revenge would hurt the most. © Factinate #drthehistories

@ggATM99 @emzanotti Yes, it's served buffet-style and people prepare their own plates however they like with the available ingredients.

@emzanotti Is this what people mean when they refer to a “taco bar” at party?I never understood. I’m Texican. Our taco night is seasoned ground beef & onion (cumin, garlic, pepper), cheese, fresh jalapeno or sauteed serrano chiles in oil, & warmed soft corn tortillas. That’s 1 type of taco.

My husband, who is not white, also calls the Ortega/ground beef tacos, “white people tacos.” They’re not really Tex-mex or any kind of specific cuisine; moreso, like, “what was advertised as tacos in 80s TV commercials.”

@ChrisJNurse @invest_cashflow @Simon_Ingari Why is this a problem?

@invest_cashflow @Simon_Ingari Because it takes time for the recruiter to prepare the coffee. Ask for water instead.

If a recruiter offers you a drink, do not ask for coffee.

@LeVeonBell I just dropped a couple of these into the bin at Walmart

do you have a plastic bag in your house full of other plastic bags? lol

@EverythingLoso I would rather eat a cheeseburger at any time of day than most "breakfast" food.

McDonald’s is clinically insane for how early they stop serving breakfast. You really expect me to eat a quarter pounder at 10:30am?
