Most white chocolate in the USA is bullshit. Real white chocolate is cocoa butter, sugar and an emulsifier. Most of the USA is soy, an emulsifier, vanilla, and sugar.
Hello all, this is the first post in a series of posts I’ll be making weekly to drum up some diverse discussion relating to all different aspects of gaming. I figured I would start with what I know, and so the first topic is thus: roguelike games. (If you think any of the below description is wrong or misleading, let me know -...
Years ago I worked in a liquor store in a strip mall. We had an auto supply store in the lot next to us and a bunch of fast food spots. The two lots have 3-400 parking spaces.
One day a guy pulls up to our fire lane, which is intended for firetrucks pulling up to building that are on fire, in a Shelby Cobra. I ask him to move as we have hundreds of open spaces, he could quadruple park and it wouldn’t be an issue. He told me to get fucked so I told the manager.
The manager goes to the pretzel place and suddenly there’s a fire alarm. The fire truck plows through the Cobra devastating it. The owner of the Cobra freaks and starts yelling at the firefighter only to be reminded the car was illegally in the fire lane and he should expect to have to pay a fine for that and pay for any damage to the truck.
I don’t get why some think their stuff should be treated differently.
Singapore conducted its first execution of a woman in 19 years on Friday and its second hanging this week for drug trafficking despite calls for the city-state to cease capital punishment for drug-related crimes.
If you read the NT and skip the Pauline letters you end up with a group of people trying to reform Judaism not make a new religion centered around Yeshua as God.
You should stand by your statement as it is correct.
Neoliberalism is fairly close to the general economic consensus on things like trade between 1980-the present. It was backed by both parties for a reason.
Oh, I have actually studied economics. Im not “almost there” Im past the point where I consider anyone talking about “neoliberalism” to be relatively uneducated in economics.
The lead singer of Europe helped a lot of guys come to terms with being bi. In my case I realized he wasn’t any less attractive when I realized he was a man.
In 1991 video games were not seen as a good use of time as theoretically you weren’t gaining any skill from them.
Cars are a false equivalence as they aren’t purely entertainment like SNES was.
Finally in 1991 most news media still had a “wall” between reporting/editorial staff and finances so things like ad placements weren’t as much if a factor. Removing that artificial division, which meant media was run as a company first rather than as a news source first, is behind a lot of the decline in news quality.
Exactly this year at my new job at awine importer my 4/1 prank was to tell the sales team they were getting a sample case of 2bt each of the first growth bordeaux. This would be equivalent to being given $8-10k. I mentioned to everyone that they could get their case on Saturday from the office. Fir the record no one should think this is happening.
Two salesmen called, the first said “Is this for real?” And I lied and said “yes”. When the second guy called and said “Is this an April Fool’s joke?” I told them the truth because they asked the right question. The other guys found out Saturday morning when I let them know
No they are not and it’s an ignorant claim to make. You can leave a religion without the members having to cut ties with you and religions tend to not care if you have individually given money. Cults disfellowship people who leave and are very focused on your donations.
Given how ignorant you are over what a cult vs religion is I don’t think you should be generalizing about any one religion’s beliefs.
For a long time, I thought of the blockchain as almost synonymous with cryptocurrencies, so as I saw stuff like “Odyssey” and “lbry” appearing and being “based on the blockchain”, my first thought was that it was another crypto scam. Then, I just got reminded of it and started looking more into it, and it just seemed...
Yes and then they realized all the replacement parts for everything already built would still need to be imperial measures as a replacement fastner needs to be the same size. So we didn’t switch.
Have you ever lived in a major city before? In my time in NYC this wasn’t abnormal to see. Not every society has the exact same inhibitions and taboos as others.
Saw this all the time in Flushing with recently immigrated Chinese mainlanders. The fact is not every society shares the same inhibitions and taboos. This could be perfectly acceptable where they come from or they could be nuts?
Im 49. The alt right was a lot smaller because their philosophy of isolation was at odds with the globalist perspectives of the neocons in charge. There were racists but they were not as invested in reactionary politics.
They have very different political takes on international trade and immigration. The neocons and the altright are not the same. Neither are good but they hold different views.
Exactly, corporations are selling their products and services to other people. This is something people can do stuff about. If you are wondering what you can do try shifting to a plant based diet as much as you can as our meat sources are a huge contributor to the problem.

“I grew up in New York City, my pops is fairly well known, we’re part of a large family, most people knew me as his son or one of my female cousins cousin”
No one is putting words in your mouth. You literally claim your pops is well known in NYC and most would know you.

The flavor and the texture are so much better than those bitter dark chocolate bars.
