People have weird ideas about seasoning. It is literally oil polymerized and bonded to the metal with high heat; but people act like it just rubs off. You can scrape seasoning off, but it's hard. I need steel wool to do it.

I think these people complaining aren't really seasoning their pans - just using dirty pans (i.e. the oil hasn't fully polymerized).

Ah. Yep that'll do it

The "suffered from alcohol abuse" may have played a role here. I can't imagine being so out of it on shrooms that you dismember yourself. But maybe it makes more sense if he was drunk too

Lord Dumuzi: look at this tablet this total babe sent me

???: dumuzi you don't have a gf

Lord Dumuzi: no i totally do, she wants me to fill her churn with honey cheese

???: no girl would ever chisel that. You made your scribe do that

Lord Dumuzi: maybe they wouldn't chisel that to you, but i've had lots of babes tell me to fill their churn with honey cheese.

???: ok who is she then?

Lord Dumuzi: uhh you don't know her... she goes to another ziggurat

You do have to earn at least minimum wage as a waiter if your tips don't add up with your wage to at least $7.25 hourly, though (higher if your state/locality has a better minimum wage). That said, $7.25 is a poverty wage and wage theft exists. Ideally this would be solved with an appropriate minimum wage and decent pay for waitstaff/kitchen staff.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has been very useful to me. My cardio has improved dramatically, I am much stronger than I used to be, and I've gotten a lot of enjoyment out of going from absolute trash to slightly less trash over 2 years.

But I don't expect it to really help me in a fight. If I did get into a fight, I certainly would do better than if I hadn't trained; but one thing I've learned from fighting people for like 8hrs a week is that it is REALLY easy to fuck up and get hurt in ways you wouldn't expect. The outcome of a fight is unpredictable - especially when the other person could have a weapon. The best martial art for self defense would be running.

If it were actually a true story, maybe autistic OP thought he was returning the joke in kind. "Lol shouldn't you be starving because the British stole all your crops but potatoes", "lol shouldn't you be bombing hospitals". Seems like a fair trade if you don't understand what was intended. Signed: an autist.

Yeah those LIEbrals are always pRoJeCtInG! Probably because they're fascists.

It's always projection. They pre-empt criticism by taking whatever words are (rightly) being directed at them or could be used against them in the future and just flipping them around, making them lose their original meaning in the eyes of their adherents.

If you're actually serious, literally just google voter turnout numbers in texas. Also look at how close some races were and compare that to the nonvoting registered voter population. I've seen several analyses of that recently

Here is the TX government record of voter turnout: https://www.sos.state.tx.us/elections/historical/70-92.shtml

Here is the TX government reporting of election results: https://www.sos.state.tx.us/elections/historical/presidential.shtml

2020 Presidential: 66% turnout, 52% of the VAP (voting age population) voted. Trump won by 600k votes, 4.5M of VAP was not registered.

2018 Senatorial: 53% turnout, 42% of VAP turned out. Ted "I posted incest porn on twitter on 9/11" Cruz won by 215k, 4.1M of VAP was not registered.

2018 Gubernatorial: 53% turnout, 42% of VAP turned out. Abbott won by 1.1M, 4.1M of VAP was not registered.

2016 Presidential: 59% turnout, 46% of VAP turned out. Trump won by 800k votes, 4.2M of VAP was not registered.

2012 Presidential: 59% turnout, 44% of VAP turned out. Romney won by 1.2M, 4.6M of VAP was not registered.

2008 Presidential: 60% turnout, 46% of VAP turned out. McCain won by 900k, 4.2M of VAP was not registered.

2004 Presidential: 56% turnout, 47% of VAP turned out. Bush won by 1.7M, 3M of VAP was not registered

2000 Presidential: total blowout for Bush, no two ways about it. He might have plunged us in to a 20 year long war and completely ravished innocent civilians in the middle east, but dont you just want to have a beer with the guy?

Why people aren'tregistered source 44% do not care, 27% intended to register but didn't, 11% are paranoid about voter roles, 9% say it isn't convenient (and Republicans sure have made it inconvenient), and 6% literally don't know how to register. From that same article and polling data, 35% of unregistered voters do not believe their vote will affect the political process, and 30% don't think it'll change election results. AND 40% of these care who wins political races, but don't vote.

These races are not close compared to the number of non-registered VAP. Young people are more left-leaning and show up to the polls at shockingly low rates. Minorities are typically more likely to vote Dem, but turn out at lower rates (partially due to disenfranchisement). If the non-voters voted, many races of the past 30+ years would've been close or Dem.

Not everyone with sense. The question was if Harris is electable, if the dems would rally behind her instead of infighting, and if there was enough time to spin up a campaign. Biden was previously electable, had the majority of dems supporting him, and didn't need to spin up a campaign.

Now, in hindsight, Kamala was the right choice. She's been great and people have responded well. But that was by no means a sure thing

Nah. It means you are forced into things without your consent. The world isn't always going to ask if you want something or not. It'd be unreasonable to expect it to. But you should ask for consent before surgically removing part of someone's dick
