There’s a clerk at the neighborhood grocery I am certain will be caught with bodies in his cellar.

amazing.
I remember seeing the real one as a teenager at La Reina Sofia and loving it. Also saw and became obsessed with El Greco there.

Who collected them?
- Comment on The Democrat Making Republicans Nervous in Iowa 2 weeks ago:
My good friend ran against Steve King in Iowa. Got close - about 49% in both his attempts. Thankfully that Nazi prick is gone, but Iowa’s so fucking deep red. If you live out there and see J.D. Scholten running for anything, vote for him. The dude’s a real one. Known him a long time.

- Comment on How prevalent are cash transactions in the USA? 2 weeks ago:
Try making that argument to a minimum wage worker while there’s a line of people waiting for their frappufuccinos, cards and phone-taps in hand. I just walked out and told them the rule was absurd.
- Comment on How prevalent are cash transactions in the USA? 3 weeks ago:
Less than they should be. In the last week I’ve been told “we are cashless” by three separate locations in Seattle. This is objectively asinine and I tell them as much.
Because using cards is “seamless,” most people opt for that over cash. Cards don’t mean credit. Often it’s debited from your bank. Usually there’s an added transaction fee, which is why it’s so common.
A $1 fee is accepted by most people as nominal. Rinse, wash, repeat millions of times per day, financial institutions are raking it in.

WTAF is wrong with you?
If Jewish people have a “Right to exist,” do Palestinians? If not, then where should they go?
People have a right to exist, but states do not. States change. Does Ukraine have a right to exist? They used to be a part of the USSR and were solidly inside those boundaries. Is Russia’s incursion into their sovereign territory lawful?
Where do you draw the line? Who gets to exist and who gets to die? What about the children who were born there? Do you just say, “woops, you suck because I hate your parents. die, babies.”
The future is not history and you are a Zionist prick.

Hey, guy, don’t you think that’s a little harsh?
- Comment on Why is the US so into Israel? 4 weeks ago:
The US government has legalized bribery in the form of Political Action Committees, aka “PACs”. Each PAC is a special interest group that contributes to a politician in order to help get them elected. The PAC then expects an ROI - return on investment - for the money they contributed to the campaign. The ROI usually comes in the form of shilling for said special interest.
To add fuel to the fire, when Citizens United was overturned in 2010, it allowed dark money to be invested into campaigns. This shit was so significant, that I can actually remember where I was when I heard about it and can still feel the echos of dread. brennancenter.org/…/citizens-united-explained
This country is fucked. No politician will ever vote to repeal that. Why would they? The amount of money they receive from it would make Scrooge McDuck blush.

You read that point badly and assumed that what I was saying that the reason Evangelicals want this is because of AIPAC.
See how that works?

Leave it to dudes to power through the bots for a bone. Envious.
Meanwhile over on Hinge, Bumble, etc., nothing but spam. (I gave these things up a while ago. Just going to rawdog my love life from here on out.)
- Comment on Why is the US so into Israel? 4 weeks ago:
That’s my point.
- Comment on Why is the US so into Israel? 4 weeks ago:
We do. The US government gives billions of dollars to Israel, who in turn launders that back into AIPAC and into our politicians pockets. Sure, there are other donors like Miriam Adelson, but she can’t fund the entire government (even though it takes as little as $10,000 to get a politician to change their vote.)
- Comment on Why is the US so into Israel? 4 weeks ago:
AIPAC political donations to lawmakers and politicians. They’re the second largest lobby contributor and influence politicians for Israel.

- Comment on How do I drink more water? 5 weeks ago:
I see. So, if it doesn’t taste like anything, then it doesn’t taste bad, right? It just doesn’t “taste” to you. Your taste buds are probably desensitized to things that aren’t loaded in EXTREME FLAVOR!!! (sorry, was trying to evoke Brawndo vibes).
You’ve gotta just drink it. But if you’re still slurping down tepid caramelized sugar water drinks, your mileage may vary.
Good luck.
- Comment on How do I drink more water? 5 weeks ago:
I truly don’t understand this. Water is so refreshing and clean tasting. Did you grow up drinking lots of soda or sugary drinks?
- Comment on How do I drink more water? 5 weeks ago:
Don’t listen to this person.
- Comment on How do I drink more water? 5 weeks ago:
Just drink it.
