I met a guy preaching the carnivore diet bullshit. He was actually a pretty nice dude, not a right winger just fell for the silly carrots are poison nonsense. I didn’t even bother to point out bioaccumulation / biomagnification, I was too preoccupied trying to understand where these insanely stupid ideas come from. I heard through our mutual friend he abandoned those ideas.

There is definately overlap with political chicanery. Super weird.

Oddly it was the first thing to pass through my mind too for some reason. How do you make a dip political ?

Garlic. Lots of garlic.

They traded and intermarried many places they went. The ‘raping and pillaging’ is not a complete and accurate account of vikings.

It bugs me that there is this generic description of ‘files’ and I don’t think I’ve heard discussions of what to expect. Funancial records? Client lists? Blackmail material?

We know big banks helped him by not reporting transactions they were legally required to. If the financial records aren’t released it’s bullshit. Always follow the money. Name and shame those who proffited from him.

Simple fillets vs these obnoxious complex curves. Yeah I’m right there with you.

I’ll just be hanging out with my dog

yeah, the back end is the scarier part. I don’t think conservapedia actually added that much content, it just copied Wikipedia and edited the parts they cared about. Automating that, while helpful, isn’t that big a deal IMO. Disseminating the resultant bullshit (with a hint of plausibility) is where the nightmares begin.

This isn’t the first time they have tried this

how it feels

The act makes it illegal for state and local governments, private businesses, employers, schools, and daycares to require anyone to take a vaccine or receive any other “medical intervention.”

So if I ran a PRIVATE daycare, I couldn’t refuse to accept people who weren’t vaccinated? I knew this was stupid, it always, but I am just blown away by how stupid. The layers of dumb are confusing.

California has the largest population of Republican voters in the US (couldn’t find numbers for Texas, I think they don’t have voter party declarations?) https://usafacts.org/articles/how-many-voters-have-a-party-affiliation/

He is a moron to be sure, but crashes like this make opportunities for those with means to gobble up the big stuff cheap. Sure ground beef is expensive as fuck right now but I bet the wagu steak hasn’t changed nearly as much. Hell when the economy is going well the rabble want a taste of the good stuff. Better to keep them in their place.

Æbleskivers!

Savory or sweet.

Coconut syrup. Throw some macadamia nuts in your pancake and slather it with some coco re’al cream of coconut. Delish.

The answer has already been revealed. Its all about outsourcing to the lowest bidder. El Salvador, Uganda, Eswatini.

another fun fact, today is international talk like a pirate day!

We had many years of continuity, just like any other normal nation who has free elections and policy shifts. We are in a new paradigm now. I agree the shift really started with Citizens United and the corporate grab for power (politicians are just owned by the corpos). That can be reversed but it is not going to be easy. Falling into sects just cedes power to the corpo masters.

I think you would be surprised how bad the neighborhood would get with the US broken up into waring factions.
