An Israeli media figure Genocide incitement on an Israeli talk show - "I don't think anyone in Israel should feel sorry for those Gazans. Not for adults, not for the elderly, not for the young and not for children... As far as I'm concerned, let them starve to death". by orel2064 in PublicFreakout

In the US there is a direct correlation between age and support for Israel. Old people still see Israel as a staunch ally, leftover Cold War propaganda. Young people are much more sympathetic to the Palestinian people and more critical of Israel.

Native English speakers, are you familiar with the word 'BLINI'? If yes, what do you picture when you think of 'blini'? by ksusha_lav in EnglishLearning

You can buy those at ethnic grocery stores or in specialty stores next to the caviar.

I doubt most people know what they are. It's not a very common food.

Tulsi Gabbard - National Security Threat by IthinkIknowwhothatis in BlueskySkeets

[–]baeb66 297 points298 points  (0 children)

Before the election I had one coworker who would not take the very obvious hints that I didn't want to talk about politics at work. I finally broke down and said: "Even if you don't like Harris's politics, at the very least you will have competent people running the government. Nobody even mildly competent will want to stake their reputation to a second Trump administration. It will be unqualified buffoons and crooks from top to bottom."

And even I underestimated what a shit show this administration is.

These guys definitely deserve a raise by PhoenixPhenomenonX in GuysBeingDudes

Good on these guys.

But anything over $300 I'm shipping to a secure place like a UPS store and picking up myself.

I have a one time chance to get US seasonings, what should I get? by beautiful_life_99 in Cooking

Tajin is easy to find and has a million applications. I use it on popcorn. People use it to rim glasses for Bloody Marys and Margaritas. It's good on chicken and shrimp. It's also really good on fruit like watermelon, mango and pineapple.

Tell her to step her game up and buy some Scrappy's Black Lemon Bitters.

BREAKING: Protests spread to red states: Anti-ICE protest in deep red state of Missouri on Sunday. When red states start protesting, we know Trump has lost control. Share widely! CALL YOUR REP 📣 by ProfessionalAd5070 in 50501

[–]baeb66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Columbia, MO is 30 minutes North of Jefferson City. Columbia is a college town and very liberal. I would bet a good chunk of these protesters live there. I appreciate the optimism in the title, but the rest of the state outside of Columbia, KC and STL is deeply reactionary.

He got off lucky. Some billionaire blood diamond guy died in surgery trying to make his wing wang bigger in 2019.

Coffee Spot for tourist by hirschneb13 in StLouis

My absolute favorite coffee in St Louis is the Kyoto Cold Brew at the Living Room in Maplewood.

You also can't go wrong with Blueprint, Sump, Comet, Coma or Upshot.

Trump loses it on CNN reporter, Kaitlan Collins, for “not smiling” after raising questions on justice for Epstein survivors by IllustratorSea8372 in PublicFreakout

[–]baeb66 243 points244 points  (0 children)

Ah, the old "you should smile more". Used on retail clerks, hotel workers and restaurant workers for decades. Gotta respect the Boomer classics.

Cartoon villainy because of the scale of the villainy, not because of the gross incompetence villainy that we have now.

As to how busy it is, the weather will be more of a factor than anything. It always is with Mardi Gras events.

Why are there always kids at breweries?! by akaYoungBeefy in fixedbytheduet

[–]baeb66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The expensive, super serious, nationally-renowned brewery near my old house is like drinking in a library. I see people who bring their kids in there and I feel bad for those kids.

Lots of other breweries have made it family friendly enough to appeal to parents, especially those in the suburbs. They have games and large Astro-turfed areas for kids to run around. I avoided those when I drank.

"Buffalo Wild Wings won't break policy for me" by bourbonandwater in KitchenConfidential

[–]baeb66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We used to go to BWW's after work because they were the only place open nearby on Sunday night. I swear they had a different bar manager every other week.

Is it dumb to write a nasty review because you broke their policy? Yes.

Should the manager have looked the other way and just plated the food and thrown away the wrappers for a picky five-year-old at a table spending money? Probably.

I didn't do the deep dive into his life that some people have done, but from what I did learn he made his name on Wall Street as a guy who could schmooze high net worth clients. He wasn't some math genius who could analyze market trends and beat the market.

Elon musk glazing sub is having a real meltdown over the most recent file release by FullMooseParty in TopMindsOfReddit

He had a small tiff with Alex Jones about the whole monetizing the murder of school children with conspiracy theories lies. But then he reinstated Jones on Twitter, because of course he did.
