@mexpantheress @leonielaugh @ds00za It’s because of our farming system. They’re harvested before they ripen so they don’t spill before reaching market.

@leonielaugh @ds00za They have no juice at all and just look pretty … it’s a shame

100% going to just be a mid-tasting cherry. big fruit is never good.

@BallisticRDucky @polyfraggrenade Just bribe the priest to give you a dispensation and you’re all good. All it takes is “father” saying ask is well for you to do whatever you want lent.

@polyfraggrenade And lent is 40 days, you can't eat meat durint lent (other than fish iirc) so christians are also excluded, so, non lactose intolerant atheists win

americans constructing racial segregation laws: so imagine a burger

@bliss_bednar @pokerlynn @cmclymer I’m hopeful that’s what happens. I’m hoping the Latinos miscalculated Trump and after so unhappy that they en masse switch up their votes.

@pokerlynn @cmclymer The large cities and the RGV area may save us, but sadly, I’m doubtful.

A lot of people who have never set foot in Texas and don't know the first goddamn thing about Texas sure seem to have a lot of opinions on who's electable in Texas.

@neitizen0 @hvsperus @pafu1111 @grvsnivis Also your comparison is wrong. Lettuce is clearly different from cabbage. Western people might be more confused with cabbage (brassica) vs cabbage (nappa).

@neitizen0 @hvsperus @pafu1111 @grvsnivis Think that uneducated folks could easily think that tubers are similar. In a sense they are. Obviously, scientifically, they’re different. But the common man might think they’re related because they’re both tubers.

Because to Americans, East Asia is the only Asia that matters except for when they go to Bali, Indonesia, Pattaya, Thailand, or Surigao del Norte for Siargao in the Philippines. The black and brown Americans aren't exempt either btw.

@Greeniebeann @japan_nobunaga Found the autistic

I am American and I find this greeting disrespectful. I do not do it and when greeted this way I answer with 'What is your security clearance?' or 'I can not explain my existence, it is an unfathomable mystery'. The best and most respectful and unpretentious greetings are 'Greetings!' and 'Hello.' Even saying 'Good day' is a problem as it suggests that a good day is yours to give, or it may sound like an order for the person to have a good day. People should not pry into other's privacy or pretend they control anything when they greet another.

As a Japanese person, one thing that still messes with my head in America is how “How are you?” is basically just a greeting. Back home, if someone asks “genki desu ka?”, you’re expected to give a real answer. So when Americans say it to me, I always freeze for half a second thinking “Wait… how much of my life story do they actually want right now?” 😂 Do you guys genuinely not care, or is it just polite code?

@EndiePosts @Playteaux1 Only fancy restaurants ask about water. Regular restaurants just bring a glass of ice water. Even in winter. That’s what we crave and desire.

@Playteaux1 No, they ask you what type you want. You should try travelling: I've been to 28 US states and spend about 20% of my year in Europe. You've been to Cancun. One of us is rather better qualified to talk about the other's culture.

@yinyang_yo_ Also most state sponsored universities didn’t burden their boomer students with crippling debt like ours do now. CA was famously free of tuition for them.

Younger ppl's resentment of "the boomers" in popular culture wouldn't be so normalized if we weren't constantly lectured about how we need to be more responsible with our money and no such thing as a free lunch, only to also argue in favor of transferring their tax burden onto us

@superTV247 Need this wig.

Susan Boyle is teasing a new era.

@edzitron This is the dot com bubble all over again. AI is too new to utilize right now. Eventually it’ll pencil out. Currently it’s not working and companies will start pulling back very soon.

Uber’s COO has said that it’s getting “harder to justify” its AI costs because there was no way to show a link between AI spend and any meaningful increase in useful features. This is the first time I’ve seen a company say this directly. businessinsider.com/uber-coo-andre…

@J_K_Wood I had both. Can I say that both of them cared enough to be present in my childhood. Absolutely not. Children that are adopted are vetted and have fills that actually want to be present. I can’t say that was the case for my biological “parents”.

Every child has a mother and a father. To say otherwise is the denial of a biological fact that exists before every law, before every contract, before every parade. Children are not assigned to whichever adult wants one, can pay for one, or can produce a contract for one.

Never forget that Nickelodeon groomed 3-year-olds to believe that buying a baby was a form of love. A children’s brand using a cartoon to normalize and celebrate a world where a babies are acquired by unrelated adults. The episode features a “two mommies” family, a “two daddies” family, “non-binary babas,” “trans family members,” “queer friends,” a drag queen MC, and a cartoon beaver with visible mastectomy scars. It signs off with “happy pride month.” 5 million views and counting. A “two mommies” home is a child whose father was bought, sold, or signed away before the child could speak. A “two daddies” home is a child whose mother was paid to walk away. The mastectomy scars on the cartoon beaver are recruiting imagery dressed up as inclusion. They target small children because small children have not learned enough yet to know they are being lied to. Getting to your kid before you do is the entire strategy.

@robisramiress You’re Hella sexy but I’ve never seen you hookup with a AMAB. Seems like you want the money from folks that you have no intention of caring about. Your sexuality is up to you. But stop stringing folks along you have no intention of fucking.

@wrwmbt @ShangguanJiewen @shaunrein But smaller metro towns in America don’t offer nearly as much as the tier 4 cities in China. It’s apples and oranges.

@ShangguanJiewen @shaunrein This is also true for usa, except you pay half million for a house in an american town

@SchulMozart It’s just that Japan sees a coffee shop differently. It’s not for the early morning necessity. It’s for the midday and midafternoon meeting with others. The function is totally different from what we’re used to.

Cafes opening at 1000 in Japan is really strange

@joancutesac @AnarchSoul Now that I’m thinking about it I’m remembering the Hmong and Mien were recruited by the CIA to wage war against the Vietnamese. One of my coworkers is Mien.

@bs6656 @AnarchSoul Yes and keep in mind that after the French left, Laos suffered the most intense bombing campaign in human history. You don't recover from that kind of dual catastrophic devastation without a planned economy.

None of these countries are communist. China - State Capitalism Vietnam - State Capitalism Cuba - Revisionism North Korea - Absolute Monarchy

@bryancsk I think it was only studied in people that have both copies of that gene. But if it helps to decrease LDL in everyone it’s going to be a game changer as far as public health is concerned. Just like GLP-1s are changing the overall outcomes of Americans.

we should all inject that LDL Eli Lilly thing and just eat only beef

It's honestly really weird that market forces dictate that US beef be probably the best in the world but the chicken be awful and literally tasteless, a strange bifurcation.

@joancutesac @AnarchSoul That kind of progress is commendable. Seems like France pulled out and left them to flounder.

@bs6656 @AnarchSoul Laos emerged from French colonialism with a life expectancy of <46, literacy <25%, and half the country displaced. Since the 1975 socialist revolution: poverty cut in half, literacy raised to 87%, universal healthcare & ed established, and 422km of HSR built– 5x more than the US.

@joancutesac @AnarchSoul I have no skin in the matter but I can also say that I have no understanding of the structure of government of Laos and how it relates to communism. I would love to know more.

@AnarchSoul You guys never have shit to say about Laos because you don't actually do any investigation into what these countries are. Just a Joe Rogan understanding of the world, it's sad

@sighyam @mememagic29 You could say that. But maybe they feel that the spice combination doesn’t need any additions.

@mememagic29 their food just goes so well with literally hot sauce or any sort of spicy dip lmaooo

Vietnamese food is just too GOATED. My only thing against it is that I wish the general dining experience was spicier.

@CapitanoJacko @cavsbuckeyes But there’s no more Coke Zero. It’s Coke Zero Sugar. They changed the recipe and the name years ago. I like both of them more than I ever did Diet Coke.

@cavsbuckeyes Coke Zero is the official drink of people who say shit like "sunk cost fallacy".

Diet Coke loyalists are operating under the sunk cost fallacy. There was a time when Coke Zero sucked but it is way better now and better than Diet Coke
