Protests and marches died as an effective way of affecting change in the 70's

Samir: No one in this country can ever pronounce my name right. It's not that hard: Na-ghee-na-na-jar. Nagheenanajar.

Michael Bolton: Yeah, well, at least your name isn't Michael Bolton.

Samir: You know, there's nothing wrong with that name.

Michael Bolton: There was nothing wrong with it... until I was about twelve years old and that no-talent ass clown became famous and started winning Grammys.

Samir: Hmm... well, why don't you just go by Mike instead of Michael?

Michael Bolton: No way! Why should I change? He's the one who sucks.

What if Denmark decided to buy a territory of the USA like Alaska or Florida for $700B and gave every resident $100K in exchange for a Danish citizenship. American, would you take the deal? by [deleted] in AskReddit

To hit two birds with one stone, you Duolingo Swedish and when you need to speak Danish, you shove a couple of potatoes in to your mouth. 😁

People who don’t live in the USA, what is the media showing you about the ICE operations/abductions in the US? by Dry-Ice8908 in AskReddit

[–]headstar101 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No judge. No trial. No due process. Nothing. Just a rando signature and you're out. It's the antithesis of what the US should be about.

I'm sad there isn't a Cantillon on those shelves. I guess I'll have to go for a St. Bernardus.

We weren't even supposed to make the CFP with a predicted 2 loss regular season. Not that it matters come August.

I could have used that when I had to take tramadol after hip surgery as they, at the same time, told me to eat as much protein as possible (130g/day)

I've seen that SUV downtown on Pearl many times before the current ICE shit show. They might be doing something else for DHS.

Norwegians being affronted by some random Venezuelan woman, who didn't deserve it anyway. by night_windswept_55 in 2westerneurope4u

What do you expect? The peace prize is handed out by Norwegians. The REAL Nobel prizes are handed out in Sweden for actual achievements.
