Which is weir, because chicken is one of the few items in the grocery store that I haven’t really seen a large increase in the price, and the all you can eat wings deals at restaurants have only slightly increased. Meanwhile, like you said, everything else that is chicken at a restaurant has noticeably risen.

So the brisket is generally an unappetizing piece of the cow corpse. A long time ago, some realized that slowly cooking it over a very long time, which has been ‘formalized’ into smoking it for 24 hours, makes the meat tender enough to eat. The brisket has different parts, some of which have more fat than others. The moist brisket is the portion where the fat is very thick. Generally the smoking process makes the fat shrink, but it’s still a significant portion of the meat. Think a layer cake where the icing is give or take 1/6 - 1/4 of the cake’s entire portion. That’s moist.
The lean brisket is usually where either the fat was thin enough to not be visible after the smoking, or it was deliberately scraped off before/during the smoking. The meat will not be dry like a piece of toast, but you won’t ever have a piece of fat in your mouth either. The way the particular bbq joint prepares it will differ, so assume these are broad strokes and not very specific designations.
Some people have preferences that are wild. My friend literally wants just the fat and will eat it like it’s candy, while my mother wants it the consistency of jerky.

Never forget to point out the most common* form of gender affirming care is chest/breast reduction for men/young boys.
*maybe a factoid, but I’ve seen it in several places I wouldn’t expect a falsehood to hold up

Which is insane. I remember 1/2 lb moist for $4.99. Brisket used to be a cheap meat because it was always thought horrendous, and smoking it was the only way to tenderize it enough to be palatable. Freaking ridiculous.

apparently the card the insurance company sends you is not proof of insurance in Texas,
The fuck? How the hell is that not proof?
Also, as someone who has also had to pay court fees over bullshit, it’s freaking ridiculous how our society lets that sort of thing happen.

I haven’t gotten a ticket in years, but I think the absolute cheapest tickets are over $100, speeding will be somewhere between $180-300 depending on how much over you were going, and the really big boys like repeated no insurance or passing school busses can climb to $500-1000.
- Comment on Don’t want your license plate to rust now. 6 days ago:
Unless your e-ink display has some pretty magical properties, it’s going to be spotted by a cop at random sooner or later, whether that’s at a traffic light, on the highway behind you, or even if they just roll by at a parking lot.
Plus, I can assure you that the technology to instantly alert if a car shows a registration for, let’s say a blue honda, but looks like a red ford, has been around for longer than flock has been in the news. It’s why that shit with texas temporary license plates was such a big deal (you’d see them everywhere throughout the continent). Unless you have a way to know what other cars similar to yours have for their license plates, you’re going to get nabbed. And most places make your switching thing a pretty big deal as far as punishments go.

I think we must have had very different experiences in life. I think the only fetish I ever hear about in the news in a ‘bad way’ is feet.
In the past two or three decades, I want to say there have been at least one or two stories per year about some cop in the area letting people off of tickets if they’ll let the officer lick their feet. We have incredibly large furry conventions, anime conventions, tattoo conventions, reptile owner conventions, and probably more that touch on various kinks and fetishes, but you never hear about any of those sexual shenanigans in the news… so feet fetish folks finding themselves featured on frontline feeds frequently from the news is quite the contrast.

What the other guy said. Just search up some videos of people opening it. If I remember correctly, the ‘appropriate’ way to open the can is in a tub of water, because the smell is so horrible.
- Comment on Now that's a real flex 3 weeks ago:
I can’t remember if it was here or on reddit, or somewhere even crazier, but there was a post that went into great detail about how flexibility wasn’t the main issue. Apparently the muscles (the abdominals, I guess) you would use to try and bring the two body surfaces together aren’t all that great once you get to a certain curvature, so the trick is to use your arms to pull the pelvis towards the mouth.

You could probably make it work with some surfaces that aren’t facing each other, since technically genitals don’t sit at 180 on the pelvis. It would probably take the porn star level of size though to make it work.

Conservation of energy is already broken by portals. Consider the portals in a frictionless tube (it could be frictioned, but that would be less fun) that use the earth’s gravity to accelerate the cube to the speed of light. If we are take the cube’s effect on the earth as non-negligible, then the earth has also accelerated a significant bit in the ‘upwards’ direction that the tube has. Simply run to the other side of the earth, put the ‘exit’ portal aiming towards the same direction as the ‘upwards’ of the tube, in this case directly at the earth, and now you have accelerated the earth twice as much in that ‘upwards’ direction with no apparent gain or loss of energy (and also have obliterated the earth, but let’s not talk about a cube’s mass hitting the earth at c.
As for the portal suddenly stopping while moving blazingly fast, sure, it’s a good quandary. It seems insane to think of the cube suddenly gaining momentum, but it’s also insane to think that a particle (in this case the portion of the cube’s atoms that are through the portal already) that is moving at speed somehow has no momentum.

You would need the portal panties to make it work. Portal A would be on a wall, or whatever object you want to thrust towards, and Portal B would be on the panties aimed at your opening. When you thrust forward at portal A, it would exit Portal B, and since Portal B is stationary (panties are magical, yo) to your opening, the pillar would rise from the portal and enter the opening.

I think the iconoclast issue is long over for all the christianity cults. It’s only the muslims that still have those proscriptions, unless there is another minor religion somewhere that addresses the image thing.

As to the “playing god” thing, I was actually quite amazed at how touchy the IVF doctors were about that issue. They had some interesting rules about what they would and wouldn’t tell the parents about the offspring options. I’d have to go ask my friends about it again for all of them, but I remember one of the rules was the doctors wouldn’t tell them the color of the eyes before choosing.

Damn, and here I was, imagining her with a white monster in a strapon behind me, while someone from /c/hungcocks was in front of me with another white monster, and they have some neat trick to pop them open after entry…
Actually, wait, let’s have her in front of me and him behind me with another strapon and the white monster.

I think one of the big shocks in my life was realizing how rape really is a thing in the animal kingdom. There were two orangutans at the zoo, and the female was definitely NOT wanting to have sex. Male orangutans are massive compared to females though, and they were in a small enough cage she couldn’t get away from him.
- Comment on Which gun would you use in a shtf scenario if AI went rogue 1 month ago:
I think you don’t see much colt anymore because they were matched by other manufacturers in quality but they never dropped their prices. I had an acquaintance with a side hobby/job of putting together rifles for people who wanted to source their own parts and make ‘frankenstein’ ar rifle platforms. I can’t remember exactly now (it’s been over a decade), but a high quality gun would cost you a little over a grand, and colts would start at one-and-a-half grand. Cheap ones were as low as $300 or $400.
That’s just ridiculous for most people buying a gun. The choice is often dictated by pricing, and the name didn’t do enough to counter the price for the people who would care about names, and the quality wasn’t better than cheaper guns for the people who cared about quality. Colt just willed itself off into the sunset.

Binga bango. One of the most important things to realize with microwave warming is that just like all (okay, probably most) other forms of heating, it works from the source of the heat (which is outside of the burrito) towards the matter being heated.
In the form of government horrors to curb protests, it means shooting microwaves at you and causing your skin to feel as if it is being boiled. In the form of your burrito, it means that the outside of the burrito will be blistering hot, and continue heating, and the heat has to slowly be conducted inwards. If your plate is not perfectly resistant to the operation of the microwave, it will also be getting hot, and since it is typically thinner and has less heat capacity (because most food has water, which has gargantuan capacity) than your burrito, it’s going to get a lot hot, very totly.
So yes, use the power settings to allow the heat time to work it’s way into your burrito and not fry the outside to death while causing your plate to consider whether today’s a good day to go molten.

President Camacho!
On a more serious note, among the recents, I highly doubt Bush jr or Obama were into pedophilia. Nixon and LBJ both had power tripping tendencies, and we know LBJ like to talk about and even show his wang, so they might be candidates. I’d weigh in on Carter not being one, but obviously he was smart enough to know how to hide that sort of shit as a politician, so who knows… Ford’s another one that it could go either way.
Reagan probably was one but everyone at the epstein places was probably too smart to invite him in on it.

You were making a post to a .world community, what did you expect?

Personally, I stay away from the womens stuff community because it is so incredibly stupid to constantly whine about people coming in and commenting when you’re making a place that literally broadcasts your posts and comments in a way that invites others to come and comment. It’s no different than having a conversation on a busy street using bullhorns and then complaining about people joining in.
When some form of the fediverse can properly do closed communities with a whitelist, then I’ll happily head there.
