There was a school shooting on the same day Thompson was killed. Without looking it up, can anyone name a single victim?

I’m not saying I support murder, but I don’t understand why I should care more about his life than those who are objectively more innocent.

A little tip - put a small pad of butter on the pan first, let it melt, and then spread it out. The pan will be the perfect temp for the eggs and it’ll make them a bit better.

Also, add a couple tablespoons of milk to the eggs. It will make them smoother and fluffier.

Gag orders in the US are issued very rarely.

Well, in addition to his attempt to ban milfepristone, he also ruled that the Biden administration could not enact protections for transgender employees.

Why? Well, sure, Title VII protects transgender individuals from discrimination, but that doesn’t mean it protects any of their conduct, actions, or anything else. So you can’t fire someone for being trans, but the moment they “act” trans, present as the opposite gender, ask for you to use their pronouns, etc., it’s completely different and they totally can be fired.

He’s constantly choosing to selectively ignore parts of the legal code so it fits his view better. He believes he has the power to redefine words - once demanding that the lawyers on both sides use the term “unborn baby” instead of “fetus” because he says fetus is a made-up word and a liberal plot.

He also tried to overturn the ACA… In 2022.

Unlike every other judicial district in America, Northern Texas does not assign cases to any district judge at random. Instead, they limit assignments to judges who are within the division the case was filed in.

Since he’s the only judge in the Amarillo Division, you can guarantee a hyperpartison super-conservative judge if you file there.

I don’t even get why sugar is added. Tomato sauce is already sweet on its own.

My wife and I like to get a local brand because it’s honestly the best I’ve ever had. Each serving (3oz, 85g) is 15 calories.

Mexico is our second largest trading partner. Both Canada and Mexico are our closest allies. They provided aid to the US after 9/11 and Hurricanes Katrina and Harvey.

I’m not worried that this would start a war. I’m worried it would cause permanent tension between two friends.

That’s the only reason I bought a modern car.

My parents would always buy cheap beaters. They had a car from the 90s they only recently got rid of because the transmission was shot. My first car was an '05 Caravan I drove for almost two years and got rid of in 2018.

I swallowed the pill after seeing cars get absolutely crushed to the point where the jaws of life were necessary yet passengers could just walk out.

I remember someone posted a picture of their brand new sedan. It was involved in a serious accident and sandwiched between two large pickup trucks. The entire car was squished down until it was smaller than the passenger compartment. The driver was able to walk away with minor injuries and the paramedics weren’t even surprised.

I don’t give a shit about the fancy features. I just want something that is reliable and safe.

Don’t forget the beef subsidies, too!

Per a 2015 Berkeley study, witjouy the beef and dairy subsidies, a Big Mac would cost $13 and a pound of beef would cost $30. Obviously both would be more now since inflation has raised prices by about 1/3 across the board and food prices have definitely grown faster than the average.

about 25% of people who make under $50,000 were cutting back on fast food

Only 25%? Who hasn’t cut back, even if it’s subconsciously?

I know it’s just an anecdote, but my wife and I make a lot more than that and we’ve had to cut how often we get fast food because it’s become way too expensive.

Shit, half the time we just get sit-down service because the cost isn’t that much higher. Why would we get low quality fast food for $30 when we can go to a local sit-down restaurant and get higher quality food for $40, tip included?

#2 and 3 don’t actually happen since it can’t be recorded on the P&L.

The donation would get recorded to cash and offset to a liability account, probably something named Charitable Donations Payable likely with a subaccount for the specific programs.

Overall, the effect is essentially the same, though. Fwiw, I like to use the same comparison as you did to show to people how dumb this belief is.

The individual who donated at the register also is allowed to claim the donation when they file their taxes.

I knew Google started ignoring double quotes for required text years ago, but I found out yesterday that it doesn’t even think “site:xyz.com” needs to be followed.

I was researching something and saw some Reddit posts. Clicked below it to view results from Reddit and a third of them were other websites.

Burning waste qualifies as recycling.

I used to work for a specialty waste company. We would brag about our ability to recycle better than any of our competitors. Because we would burn most of the waste.
