  If it’s offensive it’s still wrong. It’s not the pixels, it’s how it makes the recipient feel regardless of whether it’s an image of a real subject.

  Add some London dry gin and you got yourself a deal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you replace the beef patty in hamburger with a think slice of ham does that make it more or less a hamburger?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Because it’s too close so it would be confusing. You order a veggie burger or a turkey burger and you know what you’re getting. You order a hamburger and get ham, you’re likely gonna be confused.

  AI = actual Indians

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you replace the beef patty in hamburger with a think slice of ham does that make it more or less a hamburger?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny enough, no one knows. It’s quite possible it comes from Hamburg or maybe was popularized in America by immigrants from there, but no conclusive link is known.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you replace the beef patty in hamburger with a think slice of ham does that make it more or less a hamburger?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Correct except hamburgers originated in America, only taking their name from the Hamburg steak, whose connection to the city of Hamburg is dubious at best.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you replace the beef patty in hamburger with a think slice of ham does that make it more or less a hamburger?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Less. A hamburger is a descendent of the Hamburg steak which is a ground beef patty. It’s got nothing to do with ham.

  If you want you can put on a red polo, go to Target, and start helping customers and organizing shelves. But they’re not gonna pay you.

  That ain’t nowhere near 90 pounds of cheese

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sacre blu⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  American cheese is just cheese mixed with milk and an emulsifier like citric acid. It’s as much cheese as sausage is meat.

  I just know both, get on my level.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do what you gotta do in this economy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  “Need the money, I did.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do what you gotta do in this economy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You wouldn’t say “I did needed the money”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*Throws grenade and runs*⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Or create a fully sentient and conscious mind just because you asked it to? Jesus, holodecks are scary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*Throws grenade and runs*⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And only after Data argued on their behalf. The organics themselves wouldn’t have cared.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*Throws grenade and runs*⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Commander Maddox had a point. If Data was a box on wheels they would have shipped him off to be taken apart. But because he looked and sounded like a human everyone empathized with him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  But that’s you deciding what you think their interests should be.

  Usually when people say that they mean “they are voting for people and policies that do not benefit them economically.” This is often true. But it’s not where their interests lie when it comes to the ballot box.

  If your checkout has a handheld scanner, try using that for the tricky items. It might disregard the weight.

  Like, yeah, that’s how time and math work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨tough choice. toaster strudel or Twinkie⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This comment makes me want to deep fry a toaster strudel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Global politics aren’t their concern. Getting brown people out of the pool of possible competitors was, and they voted accordingly.

  I want to shout this from the rooftops every time someone says “white conservatives vote against their own interests.”

  No they don’t, you just don’t understand what their interests are. Their interests are cultural superiority, namely white conservative Christian culture. That’s what they vote for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨tough choice. toaster strudel or Twinkie⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Toaster strudel obviously.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capitalism is all about using state power to protect capital by force⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Would you want this administration to own the means of production?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I move out of the USA with little to no money?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not easily. Developed countries tend to have pretty strict immigration requirements.

  Suicide is not illegal is most places.

  How would it help society by punishing somebody who overdosed instead of getting them treatment?

  It’s not Chicago. Kinda looks like NYC but I can’t confirm.

  Stay cool! I’m heading to Shawnee National Forest next weekend and glad to see it’s supposed to break before then.
