  • Since it's beyond you, I'll take the time to explain. Different people have different values. Some people think it's interesting to pay attention to the intersection of culture and politics... so they take their energy that isn't devoted to the necessary tasks of staying alive and devote some of it to following this.

    Some people take that energy and participate in online communities. Instead of devoting that energy to that intersection, they post and comment. Its their energy and their value system.

    Some people aren't interested in either. I hope this simple answer has bought it into your range of understanding.

  • insurance bullshit, kid stuff

    I read the rest of the list just fine, but shifted the comma over one word to the left for this. Twas amusing.

  • Why won't anyone let the market decide?!? 😭

  • Taxes. Government handouts are funded by my taxes which the government can only take because I work hard. I don't mind taxes in principle, but not for handouts.

  • Not my thinking, but I had to work out the some of the internalized imperialism, so I have some experience with this.

    I work hard. I follow the rules. I speak the language. I came here legally. I am a good American.

    I work hard. But I always feel like some aren't. This is a great country and people like me make it great. I don't want to pay for those who don't work.

    I love my country of origin. People I know were wonderful. But some don't work hard. And some come to America. They don't learn the language. They don't appreciate this great country.

    There are other lazy countries and America is letting them in. They claim to be refugees. But they are lying and they are lazy and they are making America weak. America is great and kind. That kindness is allowing lazy people in and making America weak and I am paying for it.

    Trump won't let these lazy people in who don't follow the rules. Only the hard ones who do follow the rules like me. See I have a green card. A great country like American wouldn't have let me in if I wasn't a hard worker. I'm not lazy like those claiming to be refugees or sneaking in. I am so proud that I will show you my green card because I'm doing my part!

  • Well, since jokes get funnier as you explain them, prepare for a hilarious adventure.

    OP states that he thinks Chloe is inappropriate.Why though. Chloe is a perfectly cromulent name.

    The other chicken's names are puns related to Stevie Chicks is a pun on Stevie Nicks, Princess Layer is a pun on Princess Layer.

    Of course, this isn't too hard to see.

    Still, why does OP think Chloe is inappropriate?

    Chloe is similar sounding to a chicken's (cloaca)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloaca]. A comedian might call it a pussy-dick-butt.

    Do you see how hilarious it is now that I've explained the joke. Gafaw gafaw.

  • Can't tell which people hate more, the art, the artist, or the admirers of the work.

  • Still better than AI art.

  • I was joking since it's a meme. Its because of tides. Someone posted her response below.

  • These flat earthers are getting out of hand. The shortest path is this line because the earth is curved.

  • My understanding is lemons are a hybrid that arose without human intervention. Their persistence is because of humans intervention.

  • National pride can be a dead end in liberation or, when, as Otto Bauer argued, applied rationally towards the end of liberation, a means by which the proletariat of the nation can gain access to and ownership of the national wealth.

    "Scholarship is able to explain to us the emergence of the national sentiment from national consciousness, the emergence of the curious national form of evaluation from the national sentiment. But it is also able to criticize this national evaluation. And this is a task of no little significance. For it is only the critique of national ideology that can produce the atmosphere of sobriety that alone makes a fruitful examination of national politics possible."

    A national consciousness emerges when we meet people from other nations. We then become aware of that feature and gain a national sentiment or pride. An evaluation of the national form creates a good member of the national. This can, without critically or rationally evaluating it, lead to racist thinking or blaming certain groups for the nation's ills. However, a class evaluation can prevent this and a rational critique of the nation can give the proletariat access to the full cultural wealth of the nation which had only been previously reserved for the elites.

  • Go outside?

  • There was one question and answer on the past and future of the Democrats. I don't expect Inskeep to do a hard hitting interview, but this should not have been the title.

    From memory, they talked about:• his beard and how Republicans do like it

    • the Epstein files and how the Republicans are reacting
    • Pete Buttigieg's knowledge or lack thereof of Biden's mental acuity
    • Dems going forward
    • is President Trump a good president?

    So the one question and answer:

    INSKEEP: Let me put a proposition on the table, and we'll see if you agree with it or not. The country has changed. Politics have changed. Republicans figured that out and captured the moment, and Democrats have failed to do so up to now. Do you agree with that?

    BUTTIGIEG: I would mostly agree. Yeah. I think that Democrats have been slow to understand the changes in how people get their information, slow to understand some of the cultural changes that have been happening, and maybe most problematic of all, to attach to a status quo that has been failing us for a long time.

    Right now, you've got an administration that is burning down so many of the most important institutions that we have in this country, which is wrong. It is also wrong to imagine that we should have just kept everything going along the way it was. And I think that my party needs to do a better job of addressing the fundamental problems that have led people to mistrust everything.

    I don't know what his fundamental analysis is, but how can you not lay a mammoth sized amount of blame at the feet of Democrats since Clinton? I'm sure Mayor Pete will find a way to not look backwards, only forwards.

  • You can sous vide in silicone bags. You just won't be able to vacuum seal it, but you can squeeze most of the air out.

  • Cooking from raw can result in a beautifully delicate interior. The key is to start at a lower temp and then raise it to your normal temp after a certain temp is hit. I did my turkey this way this year all because of this video. In case you don't know who Chris Young is, he was the science consultant at The Fat Duck, co founder of ChefSteps, inventor of the Joule, and co-author to The Modernist Cookbook.

  • I don't think Jeffery Epstein was a functioning member of society. /s
