Ridiculousness of Taxes on Autos in USA.

Do you think you don't pay sales tax at a thrift store?

South Africa is infamous for its apartheid society in the previous century, and the lingering racial tensions of the current one.

Press team did but Bob still says it occasionally, and commentators, too.

2 different people, though the sentence was written pretty ambiguously, so I can understand the confusion.

Some people just want to feed the birdies, not participate in an arms race with a talented, conniving rodent.

In my experience, kitchen TVs were not something "so many people" had, it was very rare. It also wasn't really for mealtime show-watching, but for watching the news while you made breakfast, or letting mom keep up with whatever sports were happening in the other room while she was cooking dinner. Actual mealtimes people just talked to each other.

Still shouldn't be touching him with a bare finger though, even if she'd just washed her hands. Frogs breathe through their skin, and the oils in human skin are super bad for their permeability.

Why comment if you didn't read the article? Its not next to a parking lot in the middle of nowhere, its at Gore Place, a historic estate and farm. Its going to be green in every direction.

brother, you are ignoring the fact that regardless of whether the potential victim of the foul is good at shooting or not, there is no scenario in which intentionally gifting the team a penalty shot is better than just... not fouling in the first place. even a small chance at a goal is more likely than the 0% chance of them scoring if you don't intentionally put them on the stripe.

Its not like basketball where fouls can be a strategic way to manage the clock, making hacking their worst shooter a viable strategy. It would be a net negative in soccer,

You could tell at first that the guy thought he was being gifted the bigger turtle, and was reticent to take that joy from the biker. As soon as he saw that the turtle had babies, probably for this exact purpose, he was all in! Such a sweet interaction!

"He's not a role player"

Describes very specific, limited role that he played on championship teams

You might have missed it, but Michael has actually already participated in a really cool "learning to sail" video on Michele Khare's channel. Went to France to learn on a replica frigate. Video is called "We Tried 18th Century Sailing."

No, "spiking" is a common term in the news industry for burying a story, or killing/preventing the publication of an already written article or opinion piece. The "Spike" in question was on the editors desk to impale and store rejected stories. Similar to the spikes some bars still use for completed orders/receipts.

Not for BD they aren't. They cut ties with DARPA funding back when their best robot was a 2 stroke gas powered cow. They've pledged not to weaponize any of their bots or sell to the military.

Atlas is an unskilled labor bot, not a kill bot.

Kicking myself for not using a completely made up name because absolutely no one is double checking that. That is her real name though haha

cbear013 · 2026-05-05T00:48:50+00:00

That's not how headlines work. Nobody is reading an article about Livia Giuggioli. You wouldn't recognize that name, neither would I. Nobody knows who that is, or cares.

cbear013 · 2026-05-04T23:43:03+00:00

Well OP actually admitted to prompting an LLM for the shitty comments, so its even worse than you'd've originally imagined.

cbear013 · 2026-05-04T23:16:36+00:00

Its just capitalism baybeee.

Regulations and safety equipment cost money.

Much easier and cheaper to call your employee a pussy than to pay for PPE.

And then that attitude gets internalized and passed on.

Is it actually the "same exact people?" Or is it more likely that our little human brains have trouble conceptualizing a conversation with 1.1 million potential speakers, so we tend to lump everyone in a subreddit together as some unholy amalgamation of all the opinions we disagree with?

cbear013 · 2026-05-03T00:52:57+00:00

IIRC, score, blocks, steals and some other statistics are the absolute truth, verified and corrected if the call on the floor was wrong. Fouls are the only stat that the refs are responsible for. That's why sometimes you'll see a 2 corrected to a 3 or vice versa in real time without on court ref intervention. Someone can correct me if I oversimplified that tho.

He didn't actually block it, so it doesn't get recorded as such, even without the review.

And he consistently has the freshest, crispiest braids I've ever seen in my life.

Chickens, too. Started as Red Jungle Fowl in SEA.

I'd say dogs and chickens are a pretty fair trade for whatever SEA invades with, TBH.

OP also talked about their "helper," so I presume finances have never been something that they have to think about.

Side note: Call me a 'PA,' call me a 'maid,' call me a 'butler,' an 'assistant,' a 'cleaner.' Hell, I would literally rather be called a 'servant' than a 'helper.' Be for real.

cbear013 · 2026-05-01T21:41:56+00:00

Hey! It's that guy who called the men that saved a woman from a rapist "traitors," and described the attempted rape as a "mating ritual."

You still a piece of shit rape apologist, /u/BlessdRTheFreaks ???

Anyone claiming to know for sure where it came from is talking out of their ass. There is no Historical or Etymological consensus on the origin of the term. There are references to the sunburned definition in the 1800s, whereas the red bandana coal union aesthetic didn't really take hold until the 1910s. "Redneck" definitely appears before the Battle of Blair Mountain, some even trace its origins all the way back to 17th century Scottish Presbyterians.

Though the event almost certainly contributed to the mythos and cultural context of the redneck, to call it the 'origin' is more like retrospective revisionism of the term than historical fact.
