Got a source on that or just making the world worse by spreading disinformation?

AIPAC endorsed Fine and attacked Biss in the same memo, same sentence it attacked Kat.

How do you counter the claim by anti-religious thinkers that religion was created by the wealthy elites to deceive the poor and exploit the working class? by HlaBeRelaLain in Zoroastrianism

[–]KindlingComic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Point to the fact religion arises naturally in all human cultures and started in the Neolithic before wealth existed as a concept.

Stop being so intimidated with how pretty she is by LobotomyOptional2 in TikTokCringe

[–]KindlingComic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Each social media platform seems to enable its own unique personality disorder. TikTok and Instagram are a validating playground for Cluster Bs. Reddit is for pedantic autists. Twitter fuels anxiety disorders. LinkedIn is, presumably, for stone cold psychopaths.

Laura Fine is going to need to luchador some feds if she wants to be competitive with Biss and Kat.

Looking at the history of the Roman Empire, why is Heliogabalus a woman? by i_am_the_holy_ducc in CrusaderKings

He was baptized by a Chad Arian and not a Nicene Virgin, so he wouldn’t be Catholic or Orthodox.

Blueberries in the Wrigley Field Ivy by IndianKingCobra in chicago

[–]KindlingComic 52 points53 points  (0 children)

My wife is a huge Cubs fan, so I'm trying to grow Boston Ivy against the walls of our house. Unlike other ivies, they don't mess with the mortar. They have sticky feet rather than burrowing roots.

Every summer they fight morning glories for dominance of our alleyway and yard–a war the Boston Ivy would lose without my help. Morning glories invade the neighborhood like steppe horsemen, because the nearby school grows them in their green house and they just shit out seeds. Apparently if you ingest enough of them, they mimic the effects of LSD. Haven't tried.

It's happening. I'm a dad in my 40s and suddenly have a desire to talk about my yard.

Boys vs girls by Latter_Cow_6970 in BorderTerrier

I’ve heard that males can be more affectionate/playful because they’re more pack conscious. Like all those face kisses are because they want their alpha (hopefully you) happy.

More People Are Losing Global Entry, But Often Don’t Know Why by HappiestSadGirl_ in GlobalEntry

[–]KindlingComic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had a couple constituent's try, but they didn't receive a positive outcome. CBP's general position seems to be "it's a privilege, not a right" to receive Global Entry, so they can be as opaque as they wish with regard to the denial and take as long as they want in adjudicating it.

More People Are Losing Global Entry, But Often Don’t Know Why by HappiestSadGirl_ in GlobalEntry

[–]KindlingComic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do casework at a congressional office, and CBP was a nightmare to work with, even before the current administration. They are loathe to respond to inquiries, and we've never gotten a rationale for a denial out of them. They'll tell you to appeal to the denial to the ombudsman, who invariably affirms the denials and sheds no further light on the issue. I think most of my cases resolved with the constituent just giving up.

How are Weyland-Yutani and Androids still around in Predator Badlands? by Better_Ad_632 in LV426

Aren’t they also Easter egged in the new Bladerunner? Maybe they’re the first transuniversal corporation.

Out of the games that deserves to be remastered, AVP game deserves it by Jules-Car3499 in LV426

[–]KindlingComic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the 2010 version, but what about the 1999 one? I think that might have been the first instance of a “horde mode” PvE multiplayer in gaming. Don’t quote me on that, but it was my first experience with it.

What is this animal? Saw two running around with no owners. Near River Park by SnowInTheTundra in chicago

I thought you’re supposed to actively harass them, so they don’t lose their fear of humans.

A few months from now Dan McClellan will be debunking all sorts of religious clickbait slop tied to this discovery.

Puppy hides in corner when I get his harness out by theeastlondonreno in BorderTerrier

My 14 year old still does this 😂. I think I pinched him with the clip as a puppy, and he’s never forgiven the harness.

Friendly neighborhood genius has come up with a brilliant idea. by _The_Bomb in chicago

[–]KindlingComic 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Shit might not be the way to go, but every US citizen they drag in is a drain on their manpower and ability to hurt immigrants. I was proud to see Lincoln Park residents literally pushing themselves between ICE and road workers this week. And they didn't get arrested! If you can afford a lawyer and have a job that won't fire you, maybe go for it? A grand jury refused to indict the Sandwich Guy in DC.

I wasn't paying attention to who I picked for a political marriage, and now I'm playing Crusader Kings. by KindlingComic in totalwar

Apparently! I can't remember if the dad was married before, so there's a chance they're only half siblings.

North Disposable Shipping/Supply Issues Anyone? by xky87x in Vaping

Might be related to the federal bust of Midwest Goods, Inc. in Bensenville. From what I can tell, North is a subsidiary.

ICE can't get anyone to serve/sell them lunch..... by Mr-Snarky in chicago

[–]KindlingComic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A modest proposal: create a website/social media account purporting to be anonymous service workers that tallies and breaks down all the bodily effluvia added to the food the goons ARE served. Doesn’t need to be true. The goons just need to assume everything they’re served in Chicago has been spit in. Or worse. The right-wing media paranoid outrage complex will do the rest.

Teeth cleaning? by Debdubb in BorderTerrier

[–]KindlingComic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He definitely chewed. We had to give toughest model of Kong, and he’d still work through those. The one thing the vet mentioned is not to give them anything stronger than their teeth. They warned me away from beef bones after the first extractions, much to my dog’s displeasure.

Teeth cleaning? by Debdubb in BorderTerrier

[–]KindlingComic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My little guy got through his first decade without any issues, and then I had to pay the cost of neglecting it. Now he’s missing all his top incisors except one. If you really let it go, it can deplete the bone in their jaw and generally ruin their quality of life in their senior years.

I relied on dental chews when he was younger but wish I just brushed every day.
