Full on chomping!! That was a screen grab from a video of him just chewing away at it.
He also has a big thing for chewing on plastic š
Eta: here's another shot
When we can, we like to do a mix of ground turkey and beef, cause the turkey taste is a bit different. The mix we have found great for things like chili, spaghetti, loose meat (mamwich) etc.. Gives some beefy flavor and saves a little money.
Back in the 90s... friends and I went to a restaurant with a salad bar that no longer exists, in full goth wear. Another customer there loudly complained to staff that we should be kicked out because of what we were wearing (no nudity. no graphics or words, just lots of black, eyeliner and big boots) the whole time. He arrived shortly after us and, while we could hear him repeatedly saying things, he never directly spoke to us. Weirdo.
Staff was very polite to us, and we to them, other dude was the only one freaking out.
Oh... uh, hmmm... gee... thanks?
we must have had less ingenious crackheads on our busses. Some seats had definitely been toilets but I don't recall any getting flushing mechanisms.
I finally got an android watch, silent alarms are amazing! Don't feel like I'm disturbing anyone now, since I have a habit of letting the alarm go while I finish a task. As long as I don't dismiss it, it will stop after a minute, then go back off about 10 minutes later. Still forget occasionally...
You can call me whatever the fuck you want to call me. I don't think I have said contrary. I know I live in a shithole country. I didn't want to be here during the previous shits, I sure as hell don't want to be here for this diarrhea nightmare. Wtf am I going to do about it, as an old, broken, broke ass, kept from education and gainful employment, not allowed to own firearms, ignorant american cunt? Let my family and elderly parents die as I go out in a single 'pfft of glory with my bb gun and pepper spray, while the state takes the house?
I said and am saying, people comfortable with using derogatory slurs for groups of people, just because of a facet of their being, such as skin color, country of origin, number of limbs they are born with, who they are attracted to, where their body grows hair... is bigotry. Bigotry is not good.
Yes. U.S. is shit. Yes. U.S. is bad. No one is arguing this.
Making up and using derogatory slurs still makes a person a bigot. You can denounce things and use reasons and facts, you can name call and curse, all without bigotry.
No one said to give us sympathy. Those terms refer to the country and or government, not the individual people from there.
I grew up with people comfortable with terms for Italians, Irish, Polish, et. al., that were actually derogatory slurs. That part I am not ok with, for anyone, from anywhere.
I feel like when I was growing, being taught that violence isn't the answer, can't really solve things... everyone still agreed it was ok to kick a nazi in the teeth though (it was often mentioned at some point in moral/ethical discussion, in my neck of the woods anyway).
I totally agree that the US has had inflated self-worth and has been on the shittier side of shitty for decades. I agree that out government has proven useless, broken, corrupt, etc. But you4 getting into real heavy bigotry territory there.
I do not suggest anyone speak well of the US, and all should rightfully shit on out state of affairs. But, I would hope that any single person is never immediately and fully judged by where they happened to be born. Using terms like yankistan sounds a lot like the words of bigotry I was raised around made for "other" folks, in the good 'ol christian midwest deep red states. And look where that's led us.
Ugh, yes, mass picketing (unless/until everything has entirely broken down) I don't see as a US possibility. As you said, those with the stratigic positions don't seem interested. Way more of the country has people working in restaurants, fast food, retail, call centers, all kinds of "essential" but severely underpaid work. Factory labor being replaced by prison labor, folks terrified of losing their healthcare, because it's tied to your employer, losing their homes as most are 1 paycheck away from homelessness.
It's been decades in the making to remove our abilities to feel enabled to fight back. So many accepted for so long the "We're the best!" while distracted with their sports and shiny baubles with their decreasing free time for thinking and learning and real socializing.
I will take all sparks of hope. I will believe that more than one pair of people will meet, and have ideas ignited that could bring energy and spirit back to fight against the growing tyranny.
I am often called a pessimist, I always say realist. HOPE for the best, even better than expected! Plan for the worst, it's often inevitable.
Have not read, I've bookmarked it but I am going back to school at an old age and have much reading material to slog through in my off hours now. Have not gotten much enjoyment reading in, in quite awhile. ...Unless you count my breaks reading memes... is that reading?
From the blurb, I feel I am familiar with material related. I remember being very young in Sunday school and being taught the whole "turn the other cheek" and forgiveness unconditionally, and the confusion when I asked "no matter how many times?" - I had gotten "picked" on a lot, real early (I now know the word nuerodivergent, didn't exist then or at least there). They were adamant, everytime, all the time. Then their disgust and horror when I said that "was stupid. That won't make them stop." ...Babbling about riches in heaven, heathens in hell or some shit, as they removed me so we could "have a talk with my parents". ...With suuuch a far spread, fast (or I'm old and everything just seems fast anymore?) soo far right, I'll fight the liberals again once the fascist are squashed back in their stank hole.
Most people are dumb, at least half of 'em out there (why I referred to the Carlin quote earlier) and, are not on lemmy.
Anyone knowing things doesn't help those who are dumb or just ignorant and sheltered learn them. They don't even know to go seek the information, they accept what they are given.
There are a LOT of rural areas in the US, a lot of home schooled kids who never leave the towns they were raised in. Those younger folks, at or near adulthood, could actually be revolutionized with knowledge provided. Going to town to grab stuff not available at the local seed-n-feed, SEEing crowds of local people gathered in protest could cause a couple to finally think a thought. That could start a wonderful chain reaction.
I grew up in a sheltered "Christian" nowhere town. Information is HARD to come by out there in those places, anything/everything quickly demonized, and from perspective there, very popularly by everyone. It is a very weird distorted feeling coming out of, and getting to a level of actual reality. The brain resists. Having the internet available doesn't even help anymore, every side has "proof" the other sides are producing "fake news!" and the masses are funneled into their social echo chambers.
Let's see if this works...

That is a great idea too! Thank you!

I miss that.
I am in awe at the top side of the adjustable wrench! Beautiful shade and texture choices all around.

I mean, the opposite of the statement being true is like, the most accepted definition. So, I feel 'ya. ...I wonder what their definition is??
Wait till he learns he can push it!
Fucking love watching my kitties learn stuff, almost guaranteed to be some funny chaos š
