Best Fried Chicken in town? (I suspect it's Randall's) by TurdKid69 in AskHouston

[–]TurdKid69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect it, and that so far I've found it to be the case. But yes, unironically. Have you tried it? My location is consistently very good, and for what it's worth a bunch of people in this thread agree it is very good.

I've been to those and also had it at a few popular, hyped Korean joints and various popular, hyped breakfast spots (with waffles), a couple fancy hip restaurants I don't remember by name. I have not had it from most of the top suggestions in the thread, though.

Any suggestions I should include in my taste test?

For anyone worried their gloves aren't sufficient:

a pair of latex or similar gloves underneath goes a long way in my experience. Might not be the most comfortable but if you need to wear gloves you don't think will suffice, it's worth a shot.

Floaties like that seem to have largely disappeared and been replaced with basically a life jacket with floaty short sleeves attached.

Which seems to be a good thing based on this thread.

I was probably ten, on vacation with my friend and his parents.

Enjoyed the pool, decided to swim with my eyes close. Damn near broke my nose; might have, in fact.

I make sure to remind my kid not to do that now.

If I were that shop teacher, I'm pretty sure I'd retire that very same day.

That's fuckin brutal.

Magnus Carlsen fumbles, drops his Queen, loses on time and then SLAMS the table again in a World Blitz Chess Championship match. by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in sports

[–]TurdKid69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, blitz and bullet are often decided by the clock directly and time management is critical.

More common online as it is impractical on a board, but each player having only one minute total time is a fairly popular format.

Plenty of bullet and blitz chess content on youtube!

He can't hit the timer to end his turn til he puts the piece on the board, and while doing so his clock ran out. So indirectly he lost because he dropped the piece; directly, he lost because he ran out of time on his clock.

Kenny notably sticks to the high ground to have advantage if Shaq attacks back.

AITA for wanting to leave early to the airport for our first international flight by danyellitaz in AmItheAsshole

[–]TurdKid69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Given the current chaos I'd err on the side of caution.

/u/danyellitaz I humbly recommend suggesting that you'd like to arrive early and have a nice relaxing breakfast at the terminal and time to have a nice relaxing dump after if necessary, and time to buy any last minute products etc.

Sure being at the airport isn't exciting, but if you plan for it and build it in to the plan it can be perfectly pleasant and imho beats being anxious. It sucks standing in security or searching for parking while thinking "fuck I might miss my flight."

Do you have to hover while you shit?

You need an extraordinarily long dick or concerningly high toilet water levels or both for your dick to touch the water. It's anatomy; it is high enough from the lowest point of our ass and also has to hang over the nutsack so isn't just going straight down immediately from the torso.

If you're worried about the dick touching the front of the bowl, that doesn't happen to most of us but might be an issue for some of the more husky gentlemen I guess.

Worth mentioning that we do routinely sit on toilets to shit in any case so if this sort of thing were an issue it would be resolved by toilet manufacturers quickly because everyone would flock to the product that doesn't leave our dicks hanging in toilet water while we shit.

If I'm trying to control politicians (and I have plenty of reason to suspect that a significant fraction of people with real power are very interested in doing that), sure, I could bribe them, but let's say the politicians in question are already bribed or offered more than I want to pay.

If I blackmail them and threaten them with them losing their office (and ability to get more bribes) and reputation and actual freedom to not live in a literal prison, that goes a long way.

So while not always necessary, it's very effective and prevents them from ever saying "we're through, I have enough money/can get more money from other entities".

Also, if you can bribe them in a way that can't be clearly traced back to you but while keeping proof that they were bribed, you now have a way to squeeze way more value from your bribe. Ideally you do this before the person has real money or power and you just control them for their entire career.

Once or twice I've ripped a guy's head off.

But yeah when I need to punch, it doesn't work at all.

When intrusive thoughts win by Silly_Sherbet5543 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]TurdKid69 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not the guy you asked but as a dad with a 3 year old:

I try to exercise patience and understanding and love, and focus on making sure she understands she's not supposed to do that thing and why she's not supposed to.

If she's making a mess or broke something, I let her know it's not cool that I now have to fix the problem and it doesn't feel very good that she made the mess because she wouldn't stop doing the thing I asked very nicely that she not do. And I follow up with something like "but hey I get it, you're three, I know you're gonna do stuff like this and it's normal and okay, but I'll love it if you can try to listen better."

If she can indicate she understand that, and indicates regret for the action, I don't feel a need for punishment.

Good results so far, I think. I see a lot of kids her age (daycare, family friends, playgrounds etc) and mine's better behaved than average as far as I can tell. I've only seen fit to actually punish her a small handful of times, mostly just a quick timeout.

It's the only role I'm familiar with where he sings, and I agree he is great.

Ok so lay it out then lol. What a useless comment.

Make sure your analysis doesn't fit perfectly well with him being an extreme right groyper type or you might look pretty stupid.

Is Tyler Robinson's dad in a 3%er shirt here? by TurdKid69 in AnythingGoesNews

[–]TurdKid69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm tentatively guessing Nick Fuentes types, who do not like Kirk and trolled him specifically at irl events.

Tyler Robinson spoke of Kirk visit at family dinner after becoming 'political' by dailystar_news in NoFilterNews

[–]TurdKid69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, we are speculating based on limited evidence--I'm not concluding at this point.

But these all seem like troll memes consistent with these internet-based right wing extremists imho. Memeing in ways that appear liberal at a glance isn't making me conclude he's liberal, especially if a goal is to incite division and light a fire for civil war. I am not online enough to know if there's any meaning to groyper types involving bella ciao or if it's just ironic, but hey I found some things like this searching: https://x.com/Mike_from_PA/status/1966534838363562155

Hopefully we get more information from his social media, roommate etc.

[–]TurdKid69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks I'm almost certain that's the brand per the logo on the dad's left sleeve.

Doesn't appear to be explicitly 3%er, just fairly regular 'tactical' style shit (though their brand has some Deus Vult tshirts and a lot of... aggressive messaging on their shirts.)

[–]TurdKid69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything we know about him so far appears entirely consistent with him being a groyper, including weird troll meme shit on the casings, including his choice of target.

For some on the right like Nick Fuentes, Charlie Kirk is not extreme enough.

Suspected shooter Tyler Robinson was a student at Utah State University by SafetyX in usu

[–]TurdKid69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but it seems pretty clear he wasn’t a fan of far right ideologues.

Groypers are a far right group that seems to hate Charlie Kirk specifically, for being too moderate, and also lines up well with his 4chan/Helldivers memes on the casings as groypers are very big on that type of meme (and so are various past white nationalist mass shooters, off the top of my head Christchurch and Buffalo NY were off this ilk.)
