Something something Shiego.

Based schizoaffective hallucination?

Cynically that means that the spoiler effect might actually work in our favor if he does go through with it. I’m not gonna hold my breath for it, but it would be so funny if Musk’s ego actually leads to the Republican party splitting and losing because they can’t decide how many poor people and minorities they want to throw into a wood chipper.

They’re supposed to have different tastes? I’ve tried several different kinds of rum and vodka along with a Buddy of mine buying some Crown Royal Black to share with me at my 21st and I couldn’t tell the difference between any of them. I could tell the difference between a few of the different beers I’ve tried but none of them tasted anything like they were described to me.

Coffee and tea both do it, but both depend on how strong they’re brewed and are generally easier to push through than any alcohol I’ve ever tried. Espresso though is vile no matter what. Salad generally is fine though depending on the vegetables used certain ones are more powerful than others. Like lettuce on its own has this weird finish to it and that’s the extent of the unpleasantness.

As for alcohol I’ve had a few different kinds of rum, whisky, vodka, a few different wines, and basically I can’t tell the difference between anything that isn’t the wine. It’s like once it hits a certain proof all I can taste is the alcohol part.

I’ll see about giving that a shot then.

I’ve tried wines like that before. I apparently have that gene where you super taste bitter and it just tasted like flat LaCroix mixed with paint thinner.

I probably won’t be able to tolerate it then sadly. I’m super sensitive to bitter flavors that’s seemingly why alcohol is always so unpleasant to me. I’ve tried so many drinks that even friends who barely drink at all say they can hardly taste the alcohol that all tasted just vile to me. Thanks though!

Now I kinda want to try soju. I have yet to meet a drink with any appreciable amount of alcohol in it that doesn’t taste like paint thinner smells to me. The only way I’ve ever been able to “not taste the alcohol” is if there’s barely any in the drink.

B-but, if we stop rewarding seniority and nothing else even if we run terrible losing campaigns… Multiple times in a row… Th-then it’ll never be MY turn…

Didn’t Pelosi say she wasn’t going to run for reelection this time around? Or am I mistaking her for one of the other Do-Nothing Democrat Fossils?

Shinji, crank that Soulja Boy!

At a minimum this guy won’t have the same level of intuitional clout Pelosi used many many times to hinder progressive policies and engage in political horse trading. So even if this guy is literally a 1-for-1 Pelosi clone he’ll be a much weaker hurdle to overcome than she was.

Biggest reason I never picked it up back in the day. I’m too ace for that fandom.

Huh TIL… That’s actually kinda funny to me since the tail end of my time working retail happens to be when I first started developing gynecomastia. I’m nonbinary so it never bothered me but I found out shortly after when my doctor was trying to figure out another issue that I’ve got really low T levels so it’s funny to me that there’s technically a remote possibility that working retail caused that whole thing.

Like, get enough people signing up or youre fired push.

I used to work at a place that was like this with their loyalty card subscription. The worst part was that only US residents were eligible for it but the last location I worked at was right next to the Canadian border so we got a ton of Canadian customers. Management however would still count all of those as missed sales even though we literally couldn’t sign them up for it. Too high a ratio of missed sales and you started losing hours up to them letting you go.

Not only that but if you started recognizing Canadian bank cards and didn’t still try to sell them on the membership that they couldn’t sign up for you’d get in trouble for that too. So we were forced to be super aggressive with it on those we could sell to if we didn’t want to get in trouble for poor performance. Was totally not worth minimum wage with no commission. I was so glad to finally quit that job.

I love that both he and Adams are running independent campaigns. Fantastic idea, one of you couldn’t beat Mamdani. Surely both of you will succeed.

I’m in this comment, and I don’t like it.

It’s not even like you’re enjoying whatever thing you’re procrastinating with either because you’re sitting there the entire time agonizing over it. Just internally screaming at yourself to get up and do something, anything. Like you’re in the cockpit of a giant robot and the controls just quit on you.

That does indeed look like a face that would be plotting the downfall of the Pope.

I know that the Satanic Temple has membership cards you can buy. I’m sure there’s probably other organizations out there that do as well.
