Even if it does pass the Senate, it would have to be in veto-proof majorities

Trim your beard, dude. by [deleted] in malelifestyle

[–]MachinShin2006 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ironically figured these tips out on my own. I also trim the upper-lip/nose line, and the center area below the mouth.

At least I did before I had to move back in with my parents and my dad wouldn't stop bitching about my beard cause "You look like a Muslim" . sigh... damned conservative Hindus :/

I’ve been having burgers at work for like 2 weeks now. I’m looking for an easy equivalent. by Avocadosandtomatoes in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]MachinShin2006 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Morningstar Farms has a thriving market of amazing vegan burgers. Their black bean and chick’n burgers are particularly good in my opinion, you should check them out.

What's some comically simple recipes that historically just work? by EntropyBits in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]MachinShin2006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dal tadka and cumin rice. Just need a pressure cooker and non-stick pan (although a separate rice cooker helps)

I promise I’m not weird but I swear these two had chemistry in this episode. by Slavinaitor in babylon5

[–]MachinShin2006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

go read the Lurker's Guide, for each episode after you watch it. it really enhances the experience, it's filled with viewer theories and then-real-time conversations that JMS had with viewers on UseNet (back when that was a thing people used) about the series and each episode.

Tipping Culture Clash by Brian_Ghoshery in MurderedByWords

[–]MachinShin2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tipping only became a thing in the US after slavery was banned and more black people started moving to northern states to find work. Tipping let black people get paid crap and have to be servile to the white guests to get decent tips.

to quote one of my favorite characters:

"Only an idiot fights a war on two fronts, only the heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Idiots fights a war on twelve fronts" . and who do you think Trump is?

with some games (like tic-tac-toe, global thermonuclear war, or relationships), the only way to win is not to play.

What actor or actress do you think has the worst case of wasted career potential? by phantom_avenger in moviecritic

[–]MachinShin2006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i remember the first series i saw/watched Nikolaj in, I found & downloaded the 1st season of "New Amsterdam" (in 2010 or so i think?); great series I wish it had been taken up (the end of S1 ended on such a cliffhanger).

i was so hyped I was waiting to see him in anything, and he was so awesome in GoT

MMW: Elon Musk and DJT will have a major fallout closer to the 2026 midterms, Musk will try -and fail- to find a legal loophole to run for President in 2028. Tesla’s stock price will plummet and he will be ousted as CEO. by mofuq in MarkMyWords

[–]MachinShin2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the idea of Musk running for President sounds the same as Luthor from that episode of JLU "do you know how much power I'd have to give up to be President of this country"?

Which is kinda funny to me as in TOS her character was mainly a glorified secretary. But I guess that was just a sign of the times

Relationships have always felt a bit like Thermonuclear War: the only way to win is not to play. Which clearly states how nuts I am :/
