- Comment on " I think your fake eyelashes are messing up " Marjorie Taylor Greene and Jasmine Crockett argue 25 minutes ago:
I don’t think it’s hopeless-- her numbers are down overall since her first term:
Greene ran for re-election after winning a legal challenge to her eligibility based on her alleged involvement in organizing and promoting the 2021 United States Capitol attack, based on the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which bars people who have engaged in insurrection from serving in Congress. While Greene won by a comfortable margin, this was the worst showing ever by a Republican in the 14th district, and the best performance of a Democrat in this district, being the first time since the district was created that the Democrat received more than 28% of the vote.
So while a dem is never getting that seat, it could be an indication that she’s losing support overall from her base, who just might be tired of her shit and want a more competent republican to fuck them over instead. Most of the people she beat in the 2022 primaries sound at least a little more impressive than part time crossfit coach and conspiracy nutjob, so maybe someone else will have a chance in November.
GOP primary 2022:
Eric Cunningham, sales executive
James Haygood, farmer
Charles Lutin, physician and veteran
Jennifer Strahan, CEO of J. Osley & Co.

I’m sorry but you’re simply incorrect. Bug can be a technical term, but that doesn’t also preclude it from also being a non-technical term, because words often have more than one meaning. See also: theory.

- Comment on Yep 2 weeks ago:
In Japanese they don’t say yes, they say good. The word for good is ii (sounds like eee). There’s not a different consonant or vowel to break up saying “good” over and over, so you just hear iiiiiiiiiiiiii.

- Comment on I shaved for the first time in a while so I could update a profile picture and my chin looks like this. 3 weeks ago:
I get beardruff sometimes too but it’s usually bc my skin’s dry and dandruff shampoo just dries it out further. Try moisturizing your face more regularly with cream or aloe or the like. If I let my beard get long it’s more difficult to moisturize properly and I’ll sometimes have patches like that when I shave. Usually clears up in a day though after some aloe.

So because chickens are warm blooded, stuff that’s been inside of them feels warmer than ambient temperature when it’s only been outside of them for just a few seconds. After cooking the egg got even warmer than that though.

I had a warm egg straight outta the cloaca once and it was amazeballs
- Comment on Handy temperature conversion scale. 1 month ago:
I think it means dead as in trying to live in a 100° environment. Kind of like the survival rule of 3s, where you can survive 3 weeks without food, 3 days without water, 3 hours in an extreme environment, and 3 minutes without air.
I guess it could say “unsustainable” instead of dead, but that’s less snappy.

Be Drunk
You have to be always drunk. That’s all there is to it—it’s the only way. So as not to feel the horrible burden of time that breaks your back and bends you to the earth, you have to be continually drunk.
But on what? Wine, poetry or virtue, as you wish. But be drunk.
And if sometimes, on the steps of a palace or the green grass of a ditch, in the mournful solitude of your room, you wake again, drunkenness already diminishing or gone, ask the wind, the wave, the star, the bird, the clock, everything that is flying, everything that is groaning, everything that is rolling, everything that is singing, everything that is speaking. . .ask what time it is and wind, wave, star, bird, clock will answer you: “It is time to be drunk! So as not to be the martyred slaves of time, be drunk, be continually drunk! On wine, on poetry or on virtue as you wish.”
