@ItsRobbAllen Conservative libertarians rarely set these new rules, because we just want to be left alone. Most of us were also raised by our fathers to "never start a fight, but damned sure end it decisively."

@ingelramdecoucy @Boydesian Everything was downhill after, Episode 1 being all the way down in the drainage ditch.

@Boydesian This was peak Star Wars, best thing to ever come from the entire franchise (after the Christmas special, of course)

Horrible. I condemn this in the strongest possible terms, up to. and including all that the entire Osmond family have ever done, or will ever do in the future.

@dantypo I had a rental car in Denver that had *clearly* been used for someone's weed vacation. -That asshole should have been heavily fined by the rental agency. My runs were tainted with wafted skunk queefs from the multiple dispensaries along the trails. Disgusting smell. 🤮

I cannot stress how much the smell of weed sickens me The Uber home from the airport last night The car was thick with the smell 50 minutes in it So much so we were like “it almost makes you sick” I really think we took our eye off the ball on the “legalize it” movement

@JonnyMicro I feel like those of us who grew up during the Cold War should also get 1May for vodka-based drinking.

Happy Ethnic Drinking Day to all who celebrate! 🌮🌯🫔🇲🇽

@FarmGirlCarrie It's all part of the Skynet/WEF depopulation plan. You'll drink Ganges-quality water and like it.

This really troubles me using potable, life giving water for machines. Perhaps I’m alone in this?

You're a racist if you don't want this culture in your state, city, or town.

@CyborgPeds Our national parks are heavily visited, with many requiring online ticketing the day ahead for entrance or popular attractions. The overcrowding sucks, detracting from the experience.

Why? Do you also object to the fact my town charges non-residents three times what they do residents to use the community pool?

@harukaawake As you should

🇯🇵 One of the best things about the auto-translate feature on X is that it's shown us Japanese people how third world people often feel about Japan. We will continue to keep our doors closed to these people.

@tanpukunokami Tipping is expected everywhere, even places where it should NOT be. (Tips are *supposed* to be for service, like a sit-down restaurant, where a waitress takes your order and brings your food) Obey signs: "Do not touch" "Keep right, except to pass"

My American friends. One day I hope to make it out to the States and experience your country firsthand. Before I do, there’s something I’d love to hear from you. What are some things tourists do that come across as rude or disrespectful in America?

@tanpukunokami Here's the thing: They have no intention of assimilating into Japanese culture. The plan is conquer and convert.

To my Muslim friends, I hear some of you want to live in Japan. Let me be honest with you. More than half of our ramen shops use pork broth. Even convenience-store rice balls often contain pork extract. Summer brings shrine festivals, autumn brings rituals, New Year means a visit to a shrine. When someone dies, we cremate them. And refusing a drink? That’s not really part of our culture — here, people pour one for you. This isn’t hostility. It’s just 1,500 years of daily life. And we have no plans to change it. Before you come to a place that doesn’t fit you, please — think it through carefully. For your sake, and ours.

@WaltzingMtilda Think a deer, the size of a large horse. And mama is VERY protective...

I have never seen a moose in person and quite frankly, I don't think I want to They seem quite large

@ColoradoOhio Daycare with leftist indoctrination

Why is it acceptable that we graduate kids who can’t read or do math proficiently? What exactly are we paying for as taxpayers?

@HandyGingerGal @oliveegger Unreal that people still parrot the FDA "horse dewormer" propaganda, even though it was widely recognized (before covidity) as a broad spectrum anti-parasitic for humans.

@oliveegger We take it every 6 mos or so, as a prophylactic. A very common practice here. It's perfectly safe.

Local crunchy mom group post asking if monthly ivermectin is okay, it’s so over

@AggieTheBarkeep My brother or I would have to do that with family dinners involving Dad. There would be *inevitable* insults about the coffee. Even though my brother or I would be paying, Dad would go on a rant about menu prices. Wait staff appearance was often a subject, as well.

Good morning 😊

@tanpukunokami Cold soba, my reward after riding a mamachari up Haruna-san in July.

Japan has ramen, and it has tsukemen. A lot of people outside Japan have heard of the first and never heard of the second. Tsukemen serves the noodles and the broth in separate bowls. Cold noodles on one side, hot broth on the other — you dip them in, bite by bite. It was born in 1955, in a small Chinese-noodle shop in Nakano, Tokyo. The shop was called Taishōken. A 20-year-old cook named Kazuo Yamagishi was eating his lunch out of a teacup — broth and soy sauce in the cup, leftover noodles from the strainer dipped into it. It was a staff meal that had existed at his apprentice shop since he started training there at 17. One day a regular spotted him eating it. "Let me try that next time." Yamagishi spent months refining it. He took the sweet-sour edge of hiyashi-chūka — vinegar, a touch of sugar — and bumped the noodle portion up by thirty percent so it looked generous on the plate. In 1955 he put it on the menu as tokusei-morisoba. Forty yen. It is widely regarded as the first commercial tsukemen. Six years later, on June 6, 1961, Yamagishi opened his own shop in Higashi-Ikebukuro. The line out the door rarely stopped. In the Heisei era he changed his policy and took on around a hundred apprentices. From the mid-1990s they began to branch out, and by the early 2000s tsukemen shops were spreading across Tokyo. The word "tsukemen" itself wasn't used until around 1973, when a chain called Ganso Chūka Tsukemen Daiō started using it. Yamagishi died on April 1, 2015. Sixty years after he put it on the menu.

By far the best answer is making lab-grown meat at-scale. It theoretically satisfies everyone (though no doubt some morons will object on some basis.)

If we stopped eating meat, we could reduce the land we use for agriculture by 75%. That's 31.3 million sq km, or 12.08 million sq mi. An area larger than all of Africa, or about four of the contiguous US.

@Riflemanscreed2 Look like balls

Anyone want to guess?! 👀

@JoeyMannarino 🤬

Rape is now legal in Norway if you’re from a Low IQ country. A Syrian migrant who raped a 13-year-old Norwegian girl in a bike shed gets just SIX MONTHS in prison because the court decided his “low IQ” and “reduced understanding of reality” made him no more developed than his victim. Abdelmonem Abdelrazak Al-Yousef rolled into Norway from Syria, met the girl in Tromsø city center last September, assaulted her on a park bench, then dragged her to a secluded bike shed near the Harbour Terminal and raped her like an animal. He lied, denied even meeting her… until his semen was found and matched. Then he admitted meeting her but claimed no sex. The court bought enough of his excuses to let him walk after half a year behind bars, thanks to a new law that scrapped the old 3-year minimum for rape. This is what “compassion” looks like in Europe now: importing predators and then crying about their IQ while little girls get destroyed. A Somalian would’ve probably given a prize for raping the girl.
