Provided, of course, that the leaves are variegated.

I haven’t downvoted you, but I usually downvote any comments complaining about downvotes, or pretending that their point is proven by downvotes. It’s always fallacious masturbatory bullshit.

I dunno. I upvoted it, because it’s a really spot-on parody of the kind of comments a lot of people were making last fall. At the time, though, I was more or less in that camp. Not because I actually wanted Biden, but because it seemed like we were stuck with him as the nominee, and Trump was the only alternative.

I’d totally forgotten about this show, but I remember watching it, as well. Curious to see how it holds up.

Not a lot, I imagine! Still a pretty low hurdle to clear. All you really need is ammunition and a place to shoot it. It sure helps to have a spotter/RSO/somebody who knows what they’re doing, but you can muddle through all right given enough trigger time.

True enough, but it’s not very hard to learn.

In a similar vein, I’ve found that when I start saying things ironically, they tend to creep into regular, unironic usage. “Cheese and rice” being the latest example, in my case.

Fair enough. Bush is a war criminal, and no mistake. Still and all, Bin Laden did take responsibility for the attacks.

Lol racist libs, amirite? Idiot.

What a surprise, a childish dipshit.

O rly? Because I thought things were simple. I, like everyone who isn’t already fully on team hexbear, am an idiot. Please cite your sources.

Regardless of how many despots find Putin’s approach appealing, it remains fundamentally wrong.

It’s because Llewellyn is a Welsh name.

It’ll be interesting to see who they put up next for pope. My experience of history suggests an inevitable regressive swing, but I’m certainly no papal scholar. If Trump is re-elected, I could see him reforming US Catholicism in the style of Henry VIII, with himself as the head of the church. Don’t imagine it would be a big shift for some dioceses.

As far as I can recall, I’ve never heard anyone refer to the US as “God’s own country,” though I’m irreligious. The Wikipedia entry suggests it’s been used to refer to all sorts of places, and perhaps most notably (pertaining to the US) by Goebbels.

If you’re going to copy and paste something several times, and are representing it as a quotation from law, maybe spell-check it? Also, I think there are good arguments to be made on both sides of this issue, but comparing an inconspicuous piece of jewelry to an abaya seems disingenuous. If small crosses were allowed, but small star and crescents weren’t, that would obviously be wrong.

I mean, fair enough, and I’ve only seen the film adaptation, but I would expect literal grapes of wrath to ferment into Klingon bloodwine, and I don’t recall that being a plot point.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Tasted good to me, unlike all the other Heineken I’ve tried. I suppose there are all sorts of things that can affect the taste. This was 20+ years ago, if that makes any difference.

Edit: nope, just checked and they closed the actual brewery there in 1988.

Yeah, the only good Heineken I ever had was at the brewery in Amsterdam.
