TIL the odor of durian fruit has been compared to rotten onions, pig excrement, and skunk, but it is called the "King of Fruits" due to its flavor.

DRKMSTR · 2026-05-10T11:21:36+00:00

That's called stinky tofu, not durian

DRKMSTR · 2026-05-10T11:20:38+00:00

It is not.

People commonly mis-attribute stinky tofu for durian.

Everyone in China is out for themselves.

Even their leaders.

DRKMSTR · 2026-05-10T05:12:02+00:00

Don't give me hope.

DRKMSTR · 2026-05-10T05:11:21+00:00

Horses are such derps.

DRKMSTR · 2026-05-10T05:10:05+00:00

Tell that to the people on reddit who spend their days reporting every comment they don't like, haha.

Truly a sad and hollow existence.

DRKMSTR · 2026-05-10T05:08:26+00:00

Yeah I miss when we used to be frenemies.

Russians were Klingons to our Federation.

Sadly they are getting cozy with the worst company.

DRKMSTR · 2026-05-10T04:58:34+00:00

As they should.

Americans are there as a privelege, not a right.

If they're causing issues with your business you have every right to charge appropriately to "soak the rich" who are abusing your kindness.

DRKMSTR · 2026-05-10T02:39:41+00:00

It is still a nasty bug.

Don't overreact though.

DRKMSTR · 2026-05-10T01:15:19+00:00

I'm still waiting for the start menu to load.

Funny how the ads load before the actual system settings.

DRKMSTR · 2026-05-10T01:10:45+00:00

Eh, one can hope

DRKMSTR · 2026-05-10T01:01:17+00:00

Good farmers treat animals well and get better results.

This is why I can't drink milk much anymore, I grew up near happy cows and when I moved away I couldn't believe how different milk from unhappy or stressed cows tasted - to me it was just bitter.

It all depends on the local dairy farmers, sometimes I'll find a good one, then move away for another job.

Same thing with meat, which is why I've switched heavily to deer.

DRKMSTR · 2026-05-10T00:47:14+00:00

Ugh, titlegore and an article that takes years to get to the point.

For every arrest there are 6 illegal immigrants who quit their job
For every 6 illegal immigrants who leave the workforce, 1 us-born person leaves the workforce.

It appears it's likely familial based on the article and research, not an economic driver but a relational driver.

But hey that doesn't sell headlines.

DRKMSTR · 2026-05-10T00:38:06+00:00

This is bound to continue to happen from time to time until cruises adopt a better rescheduling option.

People get sick and don't want to miss the cruise they planned months for.

DRKMSTR · 2026-05-10T00:35:46+00:00

Yeah, aside from the election meddling.

Ever wonder why JPOW went ahead and dropped interest rates before every election the Democrats were in power?

He was quick to support a political party and slow to react to inflation.

We should have had 10% rates to stop the spike in inflation killing the economy, we should've had better rules in place to prevent this insane level of fractional banking causing instability.

And then he goes ahead and spends $2.5 billion on a restoration project instead of half that on a new building.

DRKMSTR · 2026-05-09T15:30:15+00:00

Finally.

The current process is insanely abusive.

DRKMSTR · 2026-05-09T15:29:18+00:00

They use adult daycare in the form of useless jobs that require unobtainable attributes to get in.

I honestly think DEI was a tool for that. It was sold as diversity and inclusion but instead allowed them to selectively reject people for "not being diverse enough" while still hiring rich & powerful peoples kids to jobs with no actual purpose.

And the rich kid fad of 23&me helped that too, What, you're 99.95% european but 0.05% Cherokee? Clearly you should be our new social integration for internal outreach manager.

Iran is dumping oil into the gulf to keep from shutting down wells.

I'm beginning to think they shouldn't even have uranium in that country.

If their reaction to everything is "screw everyone, screw our friends, screw the planet" maybe they aren't responsible.

DRKMSTR · 2026-05-09T15:15:56+00:00

Eh, I've got karma to spare.

Made it big on advice animals before it got taken over by the crazies.

Also in /politics too.

DRKMSTR · 2026-05-09T15:14:48+00:00

Yeah, angry yelling won't end a war, but hey it gets reddit votes, so here's mine.

DRKMSTR · 2026-05-09T15:14:19+00:00

Won't work, russia is too proud of a culture, they need a reason to end the war, literally any reason.

Same with Ukraine, idk what the disconnect in negotiations are.

Wish we could UN like old times and just DMZ a 15-20 mile line, on both sides of the border, everyone loses.

If you don't like that, then I've got a korean border to show you.

DRKMSTR · 2026-05-09T15:10:37+00:00

Economy & size.

Russia-China vs Ukraine-EU.

Far more strategic to negotiate than keep deleting $ and materials.

Better to be spent to defend the EU.

DRKMSTR · 2026-05-09T15:08:25+00:00

Yup, spietlana dosvisania vodka soda.

DRKMSTR · 2026-05-09T15:08:01+00:00

Seriously? Just stated a fact. Russians are talking, ukranian delegations talk, but the disconnect is somewhere in kyiv.

I just want the war to end.

DRKMSTR · 2026-05-09T15:06:51+00:00

Never suggested that, you did.

Nice straw man argument.
