we are currently experiencing a distributed denial of discourse (DDoD) attack

I'm like 80% certain the exact same COD ships that handle mail also handle food, I'm not really sure what use this is. They're rationing because they're now active and resupply is tenuous.

You sort of imagine that there’s some red lights that go off if “the uk ambassador is a security risk” comes up on the dashboard, but apparently not.

If YOU were serving a kind of 1970s green goddess tofu and asparagus salad what cheese would you serve as an appetizer?

When I was in highschool I worked in a deli. I had to wash all the dishes before I could go home. Then I worked in a fancy restaurant. I had to wash all the dishes before I could go home. Now I teach cooking and make a real wage and get respect. I have to wash all the dishes before I can go home.

that’s cute but quick question: when john james audubon painted you, did he paint you drinking the yolk from your enemy’s eggs? nah. he painted your ass too shy to even talk to your wife

These people are so full of shit because none of them actually want to live outside of the epicenter of western diversity and population density if they have the option, this guy would kill himself before living among the noble jug hooters

I know I keep beating this drum, but 80% of this country's government based problems revolve around the fact we have infinite friction to create literally any social, transportation, or educational programs, and absolutely zero friction to just kill people.

I believe that in order to take some small step forward, the word “bird” should be replaced with “saur” in all common names. Mockingsaur. Secretarysaur. Red-winged blacksaur. HUMMINGSAUR
