Part of growing up is challenging the ideas you got from your parents and learning to treat people with the respect you’d like them to use with you. If she wants to continue being friends she needs to do this part of growing up.

I don’t know where you live but in California, the crows are native species.

Edit: so if they eat a sparrow they’re defending the environment

This is why I prefer “willful ignoramus” when I want to insult a person like Rogan. These people aren’t just stupid, they’re choosing to be ignorant.

The real problem is the stigma attached (throughout modern history) to people with intellectual disabilities. Every new term eventually became a slur, because the same bigots who use slurs are also bullies.

“Intellectual disabilities” has a slim chance of avoiding this because it’s too long to say and too hard to spell.

Btw, “lame” and “blind” are examples of how it’s similar for all kinds of disabilities.

He’s flushing paperwork because he can’t read it and he doesn’t want anyone else to.

Certainly don’t sell now. You’ll soon be seeing the combined pressure of the moneyed on Trump, and he’s nothing if not chaotic anyway. “Strategy” is just what he calls his whim of the moment. This may not be the end of the dip yet, but the whole tariff scheme will fall apart and stocks will rally. You could, without touching anything right now, take a look at the stocks that your fund is made of, and see if you want to make changes for ethical or practical reasons, so you’re ready to do so on the upswing. But let the big money investors throw their weight around first.

Mostly because we’re stuck supporting the red states that suck at the Federal titty.

Sure he SAID it was an accident, AFTER she reacted with outrage. Then he tried to shut her up. That’s the behavior of someone who’s gotten away with this behavior before, probably with women who were in a more vulnerable position. She wound up filing for sexual harassment, so this may be the tip of the iceberg for his behavior. It’s what she had evidence for.

“Mysagonist” misogynist… Typo or am I missing a joke about agony under Stalin?

Ice cubes peppermint gum. To chew when others are having dessert. I’ve eaten, I don’t need empty calories, but my teeth are still hungry. Gum gives them something to do, and the little crunch of Xylitol helps it feel more like eating than other sugarless gums.

Thank you Greenlanders! Saved our government more wasteful money than DOGE.

I’m not really part of this discussion but for a lot of people brought to the US as little kids, they don’t know anyone in Mexico, maybe don’t even speak or read Spanish well enough to get settled there on a moment’s notice

But he’s too fat to sink

… everyone is on, not one. Gotta work on proofreading before you send out that resume.

The fact they kept the lid the same size probably helps the deception, especially once there’s no old cans to compare it to. This could actually work out to be a good thing if people buy fewer sugary sodas while thinking they’re drinking about the same

I’ve been watching Hacks, and one thing a good comedian learns is how to read a room and handle a heckler. Zelenskyy knew he couldn’t just shut them down because of the power dynamics, but he also knew this wasn’t going to play well for Trump with the rest of the room. He didn’t back down and yet he didn’t take the bait to give them any real excuse to pull US support. They exposed their Russian puppet-strings for the world to see.

If any good comes of this shit show, it might be that our terrible example causes other countries to pull back from the fascist agenda

Well, I hate you, but that’s just personal.

Narrator: he didn’t.

Trump managed to find a way to make me even more embarrassed for our country and angry at his douchebagness.

Zelenskyy has the strength Private Bonespurs will never possess.

The asses’ milk would moisturize skin. I assume a water rinse though, because old milk stinks and could cause a yeast infection.

The asp was legendarily her choice to commit suicide, though it was probably an Egyptian Cobra, if it was a snake at all. (Asp bite death is slower and much more painful than cobra bite death.) I have a theory that the asp legend depends partly on the fact it’s easier to rhyme “asp” than Egyptian Cobra. As for snakebite in general, I note that male artists have universally portrayed the snake biting her on her bare booby. That’s not actually a good way to get the venom quickly to the heart/brain/lungs, because boobies are mostly fat, but it makes good pornArt.
