A nugget ice machine. Nuggets ice is the perfect chewing ice - not too hard it will crack teeth, even consistency unlike crushed ice, firm like tight packed snow. It’s like chewing on frosty heaven.

But it’s absurdly expensive for what little it does. At least a couple hundred dollars for a counter top ice maker that does nothing but make perfect ice.

Someone has been watching not enough or too much Simpsons.

Authoritarians don’t care about what the hoi polloi think.

We had one cat and didn’t expect a second but it was a conversation that we had started and expected that maybe the first cat was alone and sad when we left for work (in the long ago era of 2013, a pre pandemic life). Given that the shelter was locally well respected we took a look and, yeah, it’s risky but that’s the nature of impulse purchases!

Or check her butt

A cat. In line at the pet store for kitty litter and saw a literal pile of kittens near the check out. Turns out that the local shelter was having an adoption day and my partner found a black cat that immediately nuzzled into her shoulder and the little kitten motor purred so loud it sounded like snoring. They bonded in that moment and have been best friends for the last 14 years.

Dark MAGA are leash trained and love being subs

“I can change them.”

Don’t let Americans cook means you don’t know about actual American food like gumbo, sausage gravy, chili, or tri tip (among dozens of other dishes). It’s a sad, bland world without American food.

Ain’t nobody speaking for them dang trees so lend a hand and give em a voice.

Keep hitting until Riddler forgets!

That’s not how predetermination works. Just because there is an explosion does not mean that every particle has a preset location it must reach to enact a grander outcome of the combustion. Atheists don’t suffer from a need to have decisions rendered by an omnipotent being or a universe that is some stand-in for that being. There is no grand plan. The Big Bang was not some kick off for a well thought out schematic.

But the wall is on both sides so it can’t fall. It might slip but nothing catastrophic would happen.

This is how to draw “frustration” for Pictionary.

Mario stops kings. Luigi stops killers.

Other races do this too. I have Chinese friends and family who are deeply racist against anyone not Chinese.

The sun is so bright it hurts the eyes. See the Moon around Earth? It has the reflectivity of charcoal and yet it can light up the dark side of the Earth with how much it reflects. Do you know how reflective Venus is? It’s like having a disco ball in your face and you’re on fire. And now some monkey on Earth is questioning your fashion choices. People, man…

Well yeah. Did you see how he eats oatmeal? Now imagine that messy enthusiasm where it matters. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

If Vietnam had the PR machine of America, Võ Nguyên Giáp would be heralded as one of the greatest military minds of all time. Instead he is begrudgingly accepted as a good strategist who probably beat 3 of the biggest, most powerful militaries in the world with villagers.

The West doesn’t want to admit that a lawyer who was untrained in military doctrine and strategy beat France then the USA then Cambodia then China in a long 40 year fight. To Americans, the Vietnam was a gruesome 20 years. To Vietnam that was the second chapter of a 50 year period where someone tried to conquer them.

But that’s why I want to go back…
