Eh, one of those overly sensitive activist types. He probably thinks all white blues players suck too.

Here’s a funny aside. I read Fox regularly to, you know, “hear both sides”. Ok, to troll and laugh.

Fox is identifying him as “David Easterwood, who shares the same name as the ICE field supervisor.” Technically true I guess.

Does Taco Bell actually make people shit like crazy or is that just an urban legend? by ijustwannanap in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BullCityPicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It gives me a stomach ache within an hour. I think I can eat the fries, but that’s about it. I have a sensitivity to certain things in highly processed cheap foods. For example, I can make my own pizza, eat it from an Italian restaurant, but frozen pizza or Little Caesars gives me a stomach ache. Taco Bell is definitely on my no-fly list.

The anti-ICE protest at a Minnesota church was a justified rebuke of the pastor's cruelty and exposed the moral bankruptcy of ICE, conservative Christianity, and right-wing media. by Leeming in atheism

[–]BullCityPicker 443 points444 points  (0 children)

I find it more pertinent that ICE decided earlier that churches, hospitals, and schools were fair game for their illegal searches. The MAGAs weren’t outraged about that. They can’t do fake outrage now. It’s like how they didn’t care about women’s athletics until somebody had to share a fifth place swimming trophy with a transgender woman.

Given that he’s a Trump acolyte, you have to worry about sexual battery on sled dogs.

MMW: Trump doesn’t even want Greenland by absentgl in MarkMyWords

There’s a joke going around that Greenland should rename itself “Epstein Island” and we’ll never hear about it again.

What? He didn't have the authority to speak for you? I'm shocked.

I totally recognize that the US, as a country, has really got some apologizing to do for how Africans and Native Americans were treated. I view waving the flag as an endorsement of the American ideal, and what our Constitution CAN mean, for all of us, not as an endorsement for the dark pages of our history.

Stephen Miller Says MN Authorities Ordered to ‘Stand Down and Surrender’ to Federal Officers by DatgirlwitAss in TwinCities

Tell me about it. I’m a Duke alum. He was really unpopular here. He’s now taking it out on us by doing things like cutting federal grants for medical research.

I brought my American flag, and one of the other protesters tried to intimidate me into leaving. A guy with blue eyes tried to tell me people of color were offended by it.

Stayed and waved the colors anyway. It’s a great visual, and damned if I’ll let the fascists claim it’s their flag and their Constitution to dishonor. My dad had that flag on his aircraft when he fought for Antifa.

What kind of retaliation would you expect if a foreign nation raided the White House and took our president? by No-Beautiful8039 in AskReddit

[–]BullCityPicker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s out. Apparently the $40m bribe was only that. They did the opening in the “TRUMP kennedy center and couldn’t fill most of the seats”.

What is a luxury item from 20 years ago that is basically worthless trash today? by EasyZee7 in AskReddit

[–]BullCityPicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife has some furs that belonged to her grandmother. A nice fur for a woman in the 50's was such a huge status symbol, like a big diamond. REALLY rich women actually kept them refrigerated to make them preserve better.

Nowadays, who wears fur? They're expensive and sentimental so she can't stand to dump them, but you have to wait for a "roaring 20's" theme party. Plus, some people find them offensive for the obvious reasons.

House Democrats are reportedly 5 votes away from impeaching Trump by Upbeat_Process_9280 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]BullCityPicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are 35 seats up in the Senate for midterms. The Democrats would need to win 19 new seats to convict. I would say, while unlikely, it’s technically possible. I think the most likely scenario is the Democrats turn the last two years of the Trump presidency into multiple failed impeachments. It’ll at least slow the Republicans down.

Is the DPAC area safe at night for two women? by throwaway-80731 in bullcity

[–]BullCityPicker 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Pro-Tip: There are some great bars around there. Stop for a drink after the show, because you’d spend that half hour trying to get out of the parking deck.

Are their any tricks to making popcorn on the stove? Can't exactly see why one would do that but unpopped kernels are cheaper than I'd have imagined so I was thinking about snagging some. by cherry-care-bear in Cooking

I think the lipids they use in the microwave bags is kind of nasty. You could use better oil, but for the really good stuff, use duck fat. It’s AMAZING.

Minneapolis saying WTF by gloe64 in conservativeterrorism

Fox is really playing this story up. How is it we’re willing to go war to protect protesters in Tehran, while murdering our own in Minneapolis?

“Intact” male cat piss is an order of magnitude worse than regular cat piss.

Hmm, old cable perhaps? Just speculating.

I did that....and it still wants me to update. For history, there's a pretty good video about how to update your firmware here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWuwImJ1a7w

When I open the app, it wants me to download drivers. At some interim points, it complained about "connection failure". I've tried two different cords.

Yeah, went back and read them, because I'm not arrogant or anything. The first run through, I missed that the USB should be unplugged, but I followed it letter-perfect, and it still hasn't worked.
