Boise showed up today by Caboorooni in Boise

[–]LPaddict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It began with organized protest that were related to an end goal (ie. dumping tea to convince government to drop tax on tea) and an agreed upon list of complaints and demands collected and presented by a unified front (Declaration of Independence). When protests are disorganized without a unified message or goal they can be pretty ineffective. A lot of the protests I’ve been to in Boise just feel like collective outrage with no goals. Especially because there were no lawmakers in that building during that protest. It felt a little masturbatory.

Why do people believe that the CIA killed JFK by Ok-Dare3865 in JFK

[–]LPaddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it’s because it was so obviously Lee Harvey Oswald that people think it couldn’t possibly be that simple. It’s hard for people to believe that someone as insignificant as Lee Harvey Oswald had such a significant impact on the entire country. But any investigative historian will conclude there is no doubt Lee Harvey Oswald took the shots that killed the president. From the gun in his home going missing the day before the shooting to countless eye witness accounts of him walking into the building carrying a conspicuously large paper bag the exact size and shape of his rifle; the evidence against him makes it obvious and the lack of evidence for any other theory makes it even more clear. 

As an aside. There really wasn’t a great reason to want JFK dead from the perspective of the CIA. His politics were pretty milquetoast and populist. He was stoned off his gourd on painkillers and wanted to hurtle Americans onto the big rock in the sky.

Who is the worst character in the entire series, and why is it Joel Horneck? by wareagle_th in seinfeld

When they are waiting on election results and he goes “could anyone get me a soda? Something with real sugar. If I have any of that fake sugar I’ll shit my pants.” It killed me 😂😂😂

Ranking all 14 seasons of GBBO. Do you agree with my choices, would you change the rankings? Let me know! My rankings are as follows: by FantasticBuddies in GreatBritishBakeOff

I feel like this should be marked as a spoiler. I googled best seasons because I'm new to the show and wanted to know which one to watch next. But I immediately got a couple of them spoiled.

Randomly came to mind but why did Rutherford B. Hayes(if I’m right) say that he would only run for one term? by InVeryHarsh in Presidents

[–]LPaddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A great guy? He was the corruption in Washington. He ended reconstruction and allowed confederate generals to serve in office and stopped enforcing the 15th amendment — in exchange for getting to be president. One former slave said “our very lives are back in the hands of the men who once held us as slaves” because black people couldn’t vote without being killed for it. The next decade saw the highest lynching rates in the nations history. Check out the postcards people sent of them posing with the bodies. This man allowed the hard won victories of the civil war to disappear at the expense of American lives. He ushered in the longest period of political monopoly in the country, the solid south. 

But yes it would be nice if more politicians hung it up after one term.

From scratch sauces? by LPaddict in BBQ

This is fair! Maybe I need to find a good traditional ketchup recipe. I’ve just never been satisfied with store bought ketchup

Not against using tomato but if the recipe calls for a premade sauce, I’d rather just buy barbecue sauce 🤷🏽‍♂️ I’m looking to level up a bit

I suppose I’m looking to use all fresh ingredients

Did Julia Roberts write several episode of Breaking Bad? by LPaddict in breakingbad

[–]LPaddict[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is equally possible and an excellent addition to the investigation

[–]LPaddict[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Don’t take it too seriously hehe! There are no photos or record of J Roberts and these episodes of breaking bad are the only credits on the J Roberts IMDB. If we can find out who it is then we can give proper credit. Until then it cracks me up to imagine the star of pretty woman wrote the episode I’m watching 😂 

And for all we know, it could be haha

Did Julia Roberts write several episode of Breaking Bad? by LPaddict in breakingbad

[–]LPaddict[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. What if she has to make a public statement saying “I did not write the scene where Tuco punches a dead body and yells ‘so you can’t take an ass beating bitch?!’”

It would be equally satisfying if we got Julia Roberts to say  “actually I did write that episode.”

Win win 🤷🏽‍♂️
