- Comment on Recession indicator, what do you call this dish? 23 minutes ago:
I genuinely think these were designed and marketed as time savers. My family never had any issues affording food, and my mother wouldn’t hesitate to make something like this for us. She’s pretty susceptible to commercials, also…

Nowhere on here does there seem to be a weight limit. Based on the people in the video, I can only assume the weight limit is 95 lbs (43 globalist communist units)

We had a serious hot air balloon/power line accident here in Texas 2016, and I met some first responders who were at that scene. For many of those responders it was the worst scene they’ve ever encountered. Sixteen people died. Anyway, sorry to bring down this shitpost

You’re right about this, but getting it right can take some work. YouTube makes recommendations based on your watch history and input, so you have to go in and remove videos from your history you don’t want to influence what you see. But a big problem IMO is that the algorithm recommends things only based on what you’ve watched recently, and not based on your subscriptions

Assuming the construction is decent, this looks perfectly fine to me. Really depends on how well machined those threads are
- Comment on He's right, you know 1 week ago:
YouTube is still amazing, you just have to ignore the algorithm, which is easy enough through subscriptions

Yeah my son gets one extracurricular at a time. It’s too much for kids to fill their schedules like that. They need unstructured time and boredom

I don’t know how old your kids are, but I have my 8 year old playing Final Fantasy with me, and I’m playing Minecraft Dungeons with him

Mariah Carey eating moist pineapple pizza would be a good meme series

I recommend just listening to Mariah Carey year round. Especially her first 4 or so albums, 1990-1996, absolute bangers

The crazy shit this meme is complaining about was probably like the 2003 invasion of Iraq or something

You’re crazy dude. I’m never going to donate to a Republican. I’m also not going to talk shit about one of the only Republicans in the House who regularly bucks Trump
- Comment on Paid Time Off Hypocrisy 3 weeks ago:
The AFL-CIO says last year he voted on the side of workers 42% of the time, where the average Republican did so only 1% of the time. Fuck yeah I’m going to support this guy who represents a solid red district in Kentucky. The alternative would be someone who toes the party line and gets a score of 1%
- Comment on Min wage in most states is so sad 3 weeks ago:
if the average is not sustainable they would need to raise the average or lower costs until a balance was reached
I think you misunderstood what you’re responding to. This would create a situation where being in politics is only not sustainable for people of average means. People who are already independently wealthy would have no trouble at all sustaining themselves on an average salary and have zero (0) incentive to do anything to make life easier for you or I.
The problem isn’t that people in Congress get paid a decent wage. The problem is they have so much money from their families, from their businesses, and/or from lobbyists that they’re more or less totally divorced from what life is like for most people
- Comment on Woman refuses to pay restaurant bill 3 weeks ago:
She was arrested for assault and theft, dude
- Comment on Woman refuses to pay restaurant bill 3 weeks ago:
and she said she’d pay but needed to use restroom first
Yeah that’s not how that works. She was given many opportunities to pay. Saying you’re going to pay means nothing when you’ve demonstrated repeatedly that you’re not going to pay, especially when you were given an ultimatum by the officer to pay or be arrested
- Comment on Woman refuses to pay restaurant bill 3 weeks ago:
This police officer very clearly gave her the opportunity to leave, however if she left without paying the bill, he planned to arrest her for theft of services. When the restaurant owner stated he wanted to press charges (which I think includes an assault that happened prior to this video), the officer was obligated to make the arrest
- Comment on Woman refuses to pay restaurant bill 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think this was stretched out at all, he has her outside the building in cuffs within 2 minutes of engaging her. When he was getting a statement from the restaurant, they said “if she had just left when we asked her to, we wouldn’t have even cared about the bill.” But now she gets to sit in jail for theft, trespass, and resisting arrest.

I mean, they just asked the UN to use that name. No one is required to use it, and I don’t recall it really being a fit

In Türkiye, Turkey was always called Türkiye. They just asked the rest of the world to use the Turkish word.
