Kissinger was Jewish, so that was antisemitism. That’s how it works (according to Israel), any political statement or action made against anyone who is Jewish is antisemitism, right? :P

Hmm, someone call maga a waaaaahmbulance, it’s nappy time.

If you feel like hunting for it I’d be happy to look at it, but I’m not gonna go digging in your posts for who knows how long to find it.

I dunno what this article is about, all I see is that image of elongated muskrat being bad at wearing hats. :P

Yeah same, I’ll buy like a 6-pack of small bottles of Barq’s like once every few months maybe, and drink it over the course of a week or so, or I’ll have a coke with a meal at a restaurant or something.

Nowadays, I make a gallon of tea every couple days, I have a 40oz water bottle that I drink ~1.5-2.5 of a day.

That’s a fair point actually, and one I’ve not heard before. I’m not sure it’s worth trying to convert all (checks notes) 174 countries/territories to right-hand drive, but that’s reasonable.

You got room on that hill for one more?

driving on the left just makes way more sense.

Only because it’s what you’re used to. Also I know there are countries (Sweden, or was it Norway?) that have switched which side they drive on, and as far as I know no one has switched from right to left.

Nope. I was on reddit for like 14 years and I couldn’t tell you what my karma was because I cared so little about it. I paid a little attention to up votes and that’s about it.

Eh, I see them as fairly interchangeable. There’s some subtlety in the difference between them, but.

Oh I know it’ll take a lot more than just circumstances, but the circumstances have to be right for most of them to even be interested in getting educated on the subject.

Everyone is a nerd about something. That’s how interests work in general: you only ever get called a nerd for being interested in something that others aren’t interested in, but they’re also interested in stuff you’re not interested in, so…

Yup. I’m fortunate that I don’t have that gene or whatever it is, I love cilantro.

I eat celery and peas, I like scallions in certain dishes, I get pickles and lettuce on my burgers or sandwiches… I’m eating plenty of green stuff, just not that green stuff. I’ve never tried zucchini tho, will have to check that out.

That was in fact my point, yes, that capitalism needed to be replaced with something that isn’t blowing up on the regular. But that’s not very likely to happen until it blows all the way up and the ‘silent majority’ who are content and propagandized into inactivity discover just how fucked they are and are forced to wake up.

Celery I don’t mind, it’s just pretty bland without PB or cheese or w/e. I think you’re thinking of cilantro though, and… probably a combination of nature and nurture; I’m sure if I ate more of those foods as a kid I would like them more too. shrug

I wouldn’t really say I was addicted to soda, I just don’t like the taste of water and soda was kinda the only alternative that I liked until my body decided ‘nah fuck it, let’s do something different’ on me.

And yeah I drank mostly Mt Dew, so the super sugary/caffeine-loaded stuff. Blech. I can still drink it, but only in small quantities, vs where I was before, going through 4 2L bottles a week of the stuff.

Drinking soda. I drank it pretty much to the exclusion of all else for decades, it helped ruin my teeth and probably contributed to my developing diabetes at age 50. How it happened was kinda weird, one day I just felt like drinking something else, got some sweet tea at a restaurant or something, and it tasted great without being syrupy or too sweet and just perfectly hit the spot. That day I bought a tea maker and by the end of the week I poured out what was left of my soda stash and never looked back. Once in a great while I’ll have a craving for Barq’s root beer or something, but it’s all soooo gassy and syrupy.

Also quit smoking 2 years ago.

So the color isn’t what bothers me obviously, but the color is affected by the same things that affect the flavor. There’s a very strong green taste in stuff like spinach and broccoli that either isn’t there or is quite a bit milder in peas, and that’s what I have issue with.

I mean I know how it’s spelled, I recognize it when I get it backwards, it’s just muscle-memory fucks me about half the time.
