That’s actually a phrase translated into every language that has a phrases page on omniglot, which cracks me up consistently.

Ah!

I will not buy this TOBACCONISTS!

IT is scratched!

There was a MOVIE?!?

Based on the In Living Color character?

Chips.

No coke, Pepsi.

What is this, a bot post with an imperfect scraper behind it?

What in the actual fuck are you on about?

They genuinely believe some random guy is god incarnate so they tormented him his entire life to try and get him to kill himself,

Nothing in wicca allows any of that, so far as I’m aware.

That’s SO far off base with what I understand of the basic tenets of wicca that it’d be like an humanist atheist vegan suddenly signing on to work as a halal butcher and then deciding animals aren’t enough, it’s time to butcher people instead.

Pronounced like “hope” without the “h”, it is indeed a local (Midwestern U.S.) "expression.

It is, mostly, a “shorthand apology”.

“Ope, just gonna squeeze right past you and grab the ranch” (dressing) or “Ope, grab the butter while you’re up whydoncha?”, or “Ope, I spose it’s about that time.”

In the context of that sticker, it’s more like a “sorry, not sorry” but less intense and more polite.

would say that Morton is not at all deranged in creating this especially considering I’ve got a container of it sitting on my spice rack right now.

It has an additional use, too.

The non-“salt” ingredient here, potassium chloride, is the “harder to find” ingredient in a simple four ingredient rehydration solution.

The other ingredients are sodium chloride, sugar, and water.

So equal parts this and sugar in a glass of water and you’ve got yourself the world health organization’s answer to dehydration.

I legit wasn’t sure if this was a real thing she did that started as a friendly joke or something.

Actually, I’m still not sure.

The BEHAVIOR of a very small subset of vegans unfortunately causes a small but ridiculously vocal subset of non-vegans to tar all vegans with the same brush.

Since volume equals truth for a not insignificant number of people in the Internet, far too many people don’t stop to separate behavior choices from professed beliefs and that’s how we get where we are now, I unfortunately.

The world would be a better place if people stopped automatically associating and assuming causation and instead treated bad behavior as just that.

I wonder how much of the state of the place upon that inspection was DUE to:

The plant has been shut down since late July

Like, did they say “we’re shutting down” and everyone just fucked off and left the place in a state?

Or was it just that bad ALL the time?

Why do you think a different word is needed?

Because the word has been largely washed of all negative connotations, at least across the minds of the majority of the populace in the U.S.

If you are trying to convey what the word settler means in a dictionary by using it in casual conversation, you are likely to find that it is not carrying the full weight of its intended meaning in the mind(s) of the listener(s).

This makes it a FUNCTIONALLY inadequate word despite being a technically correct one.

The kicker there is … Nobody I know is going to think “wow, playback on this video sucks, I should disable my ad blocker”.

Like, it wouldn’t occur to ANYONE I know that a piece of software we consider necessary could be the problem, ESPECIALLY if everything else is working fine.

That’s not even number ten on the list of troubleshooting steps and most people don’t make it past one or two before giving up.

WTF were they thinking?

Addressing the Overton window issue is the main fix I would hope for.

This is far and away the most frequently mentioned issue in posts I’ve seen. It’s also the one I would like to see addressed.

I don’t know enough to know how accurate this chart actually is, but I’ve seen it tossed around plenty:

Skibidi.

Toilet.

In the sense of “Simpsons did it!”:

Equifax did it first.

Sure wish the massive corporate incompetence and malfeasance causing huge data leaks multiple times over the years would get mentioned every time one of these stories comes up.

Hackers did blah, this WOULD ALMOST matter, but!

We need to start redirecting some of those board bonuses and CEO dollars back into infrastructure to actually secure this shit as a required responsibility and stop places from being allowed to request personal information they shouldn’t have.

Event happened at raglan road Irish pub, when raglan road staff failed to do their job in regards to food allergens.

Diner dies from anaphylaxis due to ingested dairy and nuts, which they were ASSURED BY THE WAITER WAS NOT IN ANY OF THEIR FOOD.

Disney is calling for the lawsuit to be dismissed because her husband signed up for a one-month trial of the Disney+ streaming service years prior. The company says signing up for the trial requires users to arbitrate all disputes with the company

This is definitely a play they’re considering.

The only defense against it that I’m aware of is to get the popular vote SO FAR in favor of Harris/Walz that Congress won’t be willing to risk their vote being so blatantly opposite and misrepresentative of the will of the people, lest it lead to reform they don’t want.

Yeah, I saw “Gay student says coach” and went “oh no, not AGAIN?!?!” Then saw “Tim Walz” and was briefly all “fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck” until I read the rest.

How bad is it that headlines about terrible abuse are so much more common than positive stories that my brain just went to bad first thing.

One day I want to see news as something other than filler to grab ad revenue.

I’d like institutional reform in the athletic sector too, but I can’t decide which is less likely to actually happen.

People in the throes of full blown addiction don’t typically donate to rehab non-profits?

Or not, I dunno. I guess they might when they’re rich and don’t have to worry about how they’re going to afford their next baggie they probably don’t freak out about where their money is going as much. Shrug

I don’t believe so.

As I understand it, he was an actually recovered addict, so it would be “fueled by the damage drugs had already done to his brain before he quit”.

And I think it was crack.

Not to defend the guy, but for a while there pre COVID, while I was doing some volunteer work, I heard from a connected volunteer that Mikey was donating cases upon cases of pillows to rehab locations in his home state, which, speaking as the bleeding heart liberal that I am who wishes we provided more for services like mental health and addiction, is pretty awesome.

A tax write off is possibly just a tax write off, but for a while, at least, it’s possible he might not have been totally reprehensible.

I mean, he also professed to be Christian and there was a stink about him not paying employees like four or five years ago too, so since the Bible has specific things to say about THAT behavior too, it’s pretty easy to draw conclusions but even people who behave like shit bags can perhaps sometimes be nuanced.
