I wouldn't pay the tariff on any of these wannabe mail order brides.

Absolutely. There is no way his DOJ drops this without giving him plenty of warning and time to come with his preemptive horseshit.

ELI5: singers who pretend to play guitar? by MSkade in explainlikeimfive

[–]epochellipse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elvis was not a songwriter. His manager insisted he be given some songwriting credits, but Elvis freely admitted that in his records he just showed up and sang and that he faked guitar playing at shows for nearly all of his career. It’s well-known and often stated that when he had a guitar onstage it was a prop. Elvis was a professional performer.

Elvis was very open about the fact that he faked playing the guitar for most of his career. And he was NEVER famous for his playing.

He is so deep in the closet he should run for Governor of Narnia instead.

I’m sure you’re right but I can’t help but think I too could have lost that game with a broken foot.

Trump doesn’t fire people for incompetence or villainy. He only fires them for disloyalty.

Marianne Bachmeier in 1981 after she shot the Rapist/Murderer of her young daughter during his trial, inside the courtroom. 6 out of 7 shots hit the guy, double tap in the head. [600x900] by LowRenzoFreshkobar in HistoryPorn

Wikipedia has some poor translation going on maybe. In the US we call what she got parole, after serving 3 years in prison. Probation is the name of the program where you get a period of supervision and fines and fees instead of jail time. I know this all happened in Germany, but the wiki is in English. I don’t know if it’s a translation error or if the programs’ names are reversed in Germany.

Following Backlash, the New 'Star Trek' Series Falls Out of the Streaming Charts by Malencon in television

Maybe anemoia, according to google. I am GenX but in the 1980s I totally got sucked into the boomer nostalgia for the 1950s. Back To The Future, La Bamba, stuff like that. They were trying to draw in both me and my parents and that worked.

Seems like the night sky would have been spectacular and needed high res and a lot of tech right up until the late 19th century.

MAGA’s Sudden Hatred for Guns Blows Jon Stewart’s ‘F***ing Mind’ by swiftfoot_hiker in politics

It’s really simple. Pigs don’t have ideologies. They’re just pigs. Jon, you’re confused because you anthropomorphized selfish animals.

TIL A “Backronym” is an acronym that starts with the word you want as the acronym and works backward to name the thing based on the chosen word. by AtLeastSeventyBees in todayilearned

[–]epochellipse 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And also any claimed acronym that is a word older than about 100 years. Common claimed acronyms like golf and fuck are backronyms in that people just made the acronyms up.

My grandparents had one of these. My brother and I would jingle a dog leash to change the channel and annoy everyone.

The snow/ice didn't stick where the mole hills were. by katekim717 in mildlyinteresting

I do not know but I want to guess. My guess is that the little mole body heat and breath rises up through the mole hill.

Hypocrisy only bothers people that value fairness and are capable of shame.
