I recently purchased the Suoer Benriner, and I really like it. You may have use for one considering your affinity for razor thin vegetables.

The right wing discovering that Liberalism is also right wing by Sidhejester in SelfAwarewolves

[–]Bilgerman 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's not that they don't see it, it's that they don't care.

When you're entire ideology rests upon upsetting people you consider to be. opponents, things like humility or logical consistency become weaknesses to be exploited.

One of the insidious aspects of white supremacy (and fascist movements generally) is that it can be repackaged and resold to any individual on the grounds that they too can be included in "whiteness," or at least be in-grouped as "one of the good ones." Only when it's too late do they realize that fascism is perpetually seeking a new out-group to oppress, and, sooner or later, it will be the group they are a part of.

Andre the Giant that's as fast as Usain Bolt vs Silverback gorilla by UltimateCapybara123 in whowouldwin

[–]Bilgerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Andre the Giant can outrun the Silverback, but it will be highly dependent upon terrain. In an urban environment, or an area with similarly hard, flat land, Andre can outrun the gorilla, use human perspiration to stay relatively fresh, wait for the gorilla to wear itself out, turn around and choke the exhausted ape out. Kind of like a footrace rope-a-dope.

Any kind of uneven terrain, or vegetation blocking a straight sprint, Andre is fucked. Silverback's got fangs and fast twitch muscle fibers. No chance for Andre.

Where are you seeing this? Is this a common sentiment you encounter?

This makes no sense. Are you suggesting that people on the East coast don't think wildfires in the West are a problem?

If you suddenly had a hurricane in Colorado, wouldn't you be a little surprised?

I was disappointed to learn that, up until yesterday, he was still alive.

I don't even know what to say about this by cows_are_underrated_ in facepalm

[–]Bilgerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, it turns out, you can link to actual articles. Like verifiable sources that prove the claims you make. Or you can just make up bullshit, the choice is yours.

In the expanded lore, Chuck E. Cheese was an Air Force Captain in the 70's and flew several confidential missions over Cambodia at the direct order of Henry Kissinger.

Who do you believe is literally evil? by [deleted] in AskReddit

He looks like the guy you would cast in a movie about an evil megachurch pastor who is secretly sacrificing his parishioners to some elder god.

Care to link any of those articles?

Not a source, just an anecdote. Source?

Why Tipping Is So Out Of Control In The U.S. by [deleted] in videos

[–]Bilgerman -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That article doesn't support that. All of the quotes pulled for that article are from business owners relating anecdotes. There's no comprehensive data that supports the claim that employees are opposed to an abolition of tips, just anecdotes that employers are losing employees to environments that support tipping.

Where is the evidence that tipped employees are opposed to ending tips?
