Counterpoint: Spaniards eat a very late dinner and are far less fat on average than Americans. It isn't solely the time at which one eats that determines weight.

Funny, isn't it, that Black people reach into a pocket after being disarmed far more often than White people do. Doesn't that seem funny to you?

Yep, Americans are far fatter than any other country due to the shit we eat. Like fried chocolate or chocolate covered pineapples. We eat more sugar and fat than any other country. Or the nasty shit they had on tic tok like cooking NyQuil with chicken or something.

Somebody tell that guy to his face that he's bald and he isn't fooling anybody with that comb-forward.

I'd imagine this is what they mean.

Very problematic author Harlan Ellison had an essay along these same lines that I read early in life and loved. (Sorry, cursory Google couldn't bring up a direct link to it; believe it was one of the ones collected in The Glass Teat). It gave me some insight into how, even some boomer bastards can have a good strong streak of anti authoritarian in them.

I am also very sorry that that happened to you and that you had to carry it for so long.

Thank you for this. I remember reading this a while back.

I heard of a sheriff's deputy who often upholstered his gun, so the sheriff made him keep it unloaded and let him carry a single bullet in his shirt pocket in case he ever actually needed it which he never did.

No, just noticing that Black people appear to be disproportionately shot "while reaching for (or holding)" a thing that almost never turns out to be a weapon, while White people seem to be subdued without incident.

Adding that the shooting stats would appear to bear that observation out.

"If I weren’t a Christian and didn’t have a prohibition against suicide, I’d walk across the street and douse myself in gasoline and set myself on fire." Is it OK to point out he's not really a Christian so he's free to go right ahead with his plans?
