I...didn't get the memo
  • You are correct.

    Mine are barely in the double digits but they still retain some of their old taste.

    However, I am not so sure I should be proud that my 11 and 13 year old's first choice, when they ride shotgun, is Eminem.

  • If you can make it there…just know your street food rules
  • Dodger dogs are the biggest hypocrites. They'll say they don't use mustard but then hide ketchup in the bun and blame their translator when they get caught.

    They also cheat and then whine about other hotdogs cheating, and then continue to blame them for their own failures, even years after the fact.

    Oh wait, I guess that last part is New York dogs too.

  • Beijing’s EU envoy “appalled” by Trump’s treatment of allies, says peace in Ukraine must not be dictated by US and Russia only
  • I am definitely not going to argue against the U.S. being a turd bucket.

    I'm just saying China is the pot calling the kettle black.

    For the next four years, absolutely keep us at arms length and don't trust us.

    China has been untrustworthy for decades and has zero impetus for change.

  • I’m Canadian And Love Visiting The U.S., But I Refuse To Travel There Again Until Trump Is Gone
  • You should come. Just bring a couple hundred thousand well armed friends and annex New England, New York, and Pennsylvania They won't complain, except the white trash in upstate NY, just throw some meth on their direction, that'll shut them up, but feel free to avoid Jersey, unless you've gotten your shots.

    And now you are practically in mortar range of the White House.

  • Beijing’s EU envoy “appalled” by Trump’s treatment of allies, says peace in Ukraine must not be dictated by US and Russia only
  • I'm not saying US good, China bad.

    I'm saying you have to be pretty dumb to think China has any business talking shit about anyone.

    It is this kind of bullshit that got Trump elected.

    Y'all are either a bunch of trolls, paid propagandists, or just really dumb.

  • Trump Press Sec Accidentally Blurts Out Real Goal of His Tariff Scam
  • I looked it up and you are clearly delusional that this "Northwest Passage" is some kind of major shipping lane or has any real value at all.

    It wasn't even clear of ice until 2009 and is reported to be as shallow as 15' in many parts.

    Keep building this fantasy of yours. It is entertaining.

  • Beijing’s EU envoy “appalled” by Trump’s treatment of allies, says peace in Ukraine must not be dictated by US and Russia only
  • Any political advesery will take any opportunity, ESPECIALLY China, to make statements like this, because they can. They pretend to take the high road in order score points.

    It's laughable that anyone can even take it at face value. I am serious when I say that Trump was elected because people are so fucking dumb, that they can't see the emperor has no clothes.

    This is the same kind of bullshit political messaging, and it's outrageous that you can even give China the benefit of the doubt.

    I'm not trying to say USA is good, China is bad. I'm saying China has a history of this bullshit, so now you eat it up because they are talking shit about the abomination the U.S. has become.

    FYI, saying China has been outspoken against the war is a perfect example.

    It doesn't cost them anything to say it, meanwhile they are happily selling weapons to Russia.

    Just like US saying what is happening in Palestine is bad, while dumping armaments be on Israel.

    Talk is so cheap, so you have to look at actions and China's actions are about as bad as they come.

  • A LOT to unpack here:

    A. The U.S. government is broke!? That is one of the dumbest takes I've seen in a while. Makes it difficult to take any other part of your post seriously.

    Currently run by fascist morons that my fellow fascist citizens elected, yes. Broke, not fucking remotely true.

    B. No one takes it seriously that he is going to somehow magically take over Canada. He says that shit because he is either so stupid, he actually believes he can, or is just saying it to get under Canadian's skin. (Probably both).

    C. "Canada's strategically advantageous geographical location.". What strategic importance does Canada's location have? We already have Alaska. Is there some secret shipping lanes, or laser polar bears we don't know about?

    Resources? Your shale sands oil sucks and has to be piped to the US anyway, to be processed.

    You have a lot of wood I guess? We have a TON of resources here, it's just been cheaper to mine elsewhere because environmental law, makes it pretty expensive to exploit. He's in the process of gutting those.

    Canada just needs to keep doing what it is doing and tell us to fuck off. (Kind of like what we both do to our indigenous populations.)

    He'll eventually drive our economy into the dirt, and fuck over the dumbass blue color voters (that he supposedly champions), and maybe, just maybe, the Democrats will get behind a true progressive instead of a Susan Collins, Hillary Clinton type cunt.

  • You guys have to end it
  • I was going to say, I always had my e-brake on when I parked my car and so I always started the car with it on.

    Does he mean slowly let off the clutch while releasing the e-brake? Does he put on his e-brake if he stops on a hill, in traffic too!

  • Looking for feedback

    I am not sure I have aphantasia, but I definitely have difficulty with images.

    The best way I can describe it is like I have mental impressionism.

    I can see my wife's face, but it's like I am seeing it out of the corner of my eye and not in focus. If I try to focus on the details, it falls apart like zooming in on the detail of a Monet.

    She can remember the conversation we had a month ago, on a date. Like play it back almost word for word. Meanwhile, I barely even remember the date itself.

    But I can remember feelings, smells, and sounds. I can look at an image and I can imagine what it smells, or even feels like. Very vividly, the feel of a sunny country day. How the sun and breeze feels on my skin, the smell of the field, and the sound of the insects. I can close my eyes and almost feel like I am there. But ask me to visually describe it, I would have a hard time. (I have a terrible sense of smell now too).

    I have a talent for recognizing voices, even if I can't understand the words. I can hear an actor and usually place them pretty easily, but I also can't understand conversational audio if there is any competing sounds. It is so frustrating sometimes and hearing aids don't really help that much.

    Photo is unrelated, but Lemmy made me post one, so enjoy my torty.
