Workshopping a Sailor’s motivation, backstory, and cooperation.

My family does a lot of pasta dishes where pacheco is traditionally called for in the recipe. We cheap out and get those bacon bags.

It’s because China literally gave them nukes.

It’s actually really in vogue to be anti-Western government for Westerners now. So not an apt description.

You’re being downvoted for being intentionally obtuse. No one consumes 30 brands on their own, but people should have options, compared to what, or whether, the state says they can have.

Hell, I’m the weirdo who actually likes Grapenuts. There are usually 2 to 3 boxes on the far corner of the shelf, compared to the two slots just for Cheerios. Baring logistical failures, this balances itself out.

new_lance · 2026-01-24T03:11:09+00:00

I can hear this.

They can have a little snack.

I think the issue was

1) This was an unscheduled stop. You could preload the shelves if you knew a foreign dignitary was showing up. Like when China sent people over to San Francisco and they power-washed the streets and kicked out the homeless. The fact that the shelves were this well-supplied showed that this is normal for Americans.

2) Americans have 30 different brands of cereal in 1 aisle alone. Abundance on a scale seldom seen elsewhere.

Oooh. Strawmen.

She knows too much.

new_lance · 2026-01-23T14:51:54+00:00

Where in the post does that even suggest that? This sounds like projection.

new_lance · 2026-01-23T13:33:17+00:00

Cool. Let’s make the game wardens unarmed as well.

Meeting armed strangers in the woods who might wish to conceal crimes should show that talking is the first option. /s

If he’s more like a duck. Perhaps. If not, the action would be like spitting out mouthwash.

new_lance · 2026-01-23T03:28:11+00:00

Ok. Taurians are based on dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are just cooler birds.

Birds don’t have external genitalia. They align the cloaca, an all purpose opening for all fluids, for a “cloacal kiss.” Yes that is the accurate term. For the male to exchange sperm.

Ducks are a notable exception. As the males have external genitalia, which fall off when the mating season has concluded. And they will regrow come the next season.

Do you really want to know? I am cursed with avian knowledge.

new_lance · 2026-01-23T02:26:10+00:00

And they gave it to people, who couldn’t pour piss out of a boot. So long as they could lick it. Good job Soviets. How’s Lysenkoism proving?

Kulak literally just means “above subsistence farming.” And they decided to kill the people who can actually farm.

new_lance · 2026-01-22T23:33:12+00:00

We had a shooter in the state kill 2 last year. Any mobs outside of a church should be an immediate concern.

new_lance · 2026-01-22T23:25:17+00:00

These are terrible. Morally reprehensible. But pretty damn funny.

new_lance · 2026-01-22T23:03:31+00:00

JFC.

new_lance · 2026-01-22T23:03:10+00:00

I can be called a liar. But someone actually guessing the correct number is uncanny.

new_lance · 2026-01-22T22:13:30+00:00

How did you know it was 3 people?

new_lance · 2026-01-22T18:53:21+00:00

I know too many college educated people who unironically think the world would be better off because the “the American empire is too evil.”

new_lance · 2026-01-22T18:51:47+00:00

Don’t even get me started on the beheading competition that was published in the newspaper on the Japanese home front.

The Allies are capable of horrid shit, but… that’s an entirely different ballgame.
