"Holds a candle" better by far, and that's an admonishment of Chipotle not an endorsement of Moe's. Chipotle is the absolute worst cultural appropriation snax™ available, might as well go to taco bell.

I like KeepAss.

Imo they were sabotaging themselves with their lack of queso and still are with the poor distribution of ingredients in the burrito. I get my mexican food from real mexican restaurants, but even Moe's is better than Chipotle and they should be ashamed of that.

I wanna say it was more than that, I don't remember the number but I remember saying "damn that's a lot." I wanna say it was maybe like 10?

I was there when it was invite only, child. They used to have an IM chat too.

I have a man,

I have pineapple,

274 justifiable homicides involving a private citizen using a firearm

Ok, and how many defensive uses of a firearm occurred that year where the defender did not kill the attacker? Cases where the attacker was merely injured, or the defender missed, or the attacker ran off at the sight of the firearm? Why are those entirely omitted, does it only count as self defense if the attacker dies, not if one successfully stops the attack without a justifiable homicide?

And while we're at it, how many justifiable homicides occurred that year with your defensive weapon of choice, The Hammer? If the metric used to determine a weapon's viability for defense is simply justifiable homicides/yr, blind bet: it's less than 274.

Btw

only 1.1 percent of victims of attempted or completed violent crimes used a firearm,

While around 45% of people own a gun, only 21% of people carry a gun ever, and even less carry everywhere always, and this figure doesn't take into account whether or not the victims had a gun on them with which to defend themselves. This stat is entirely meaningless without controling for that.

and only 0.3 percent of victims of attempted or completed property crimes used a firearm.

Well that's illegal unless you're in Texas at night, so, unless that's all they're counting this makes me further question the voracity of the study. You're telling me that 0.3 percent of people in the study successfully justifiably killed someone for something that is illegal to kill people for? That's not how this works lol.

Tbf, a hammer is also a tool with only one use, sometimes a job needs a specific tool. "Killing" just so happens to include self defense, if you happen to need to defend yourself it helps to have the best tool for the job instead of hammering a nail with your wrench.

Seriously. "Start it a day early" My brother in Christ why does your grill need wifi? Do you get updates when the steak is ready? Can it flip your burger?!

So basically wolves/deer in the US and dingos/roos in AUS, same same? Only difference is too few guns for hunting permits so the government has to do it? Ok then.

That's just what the off brand ones call themselves to avoid lawsuits, don't read too much into it.

Or do idc lol but that's why.

All the brits in here don't even understand, it's not about the brand name you ninnys, they're chocolate sandwich cookies.

FIX BAYONETS!

I figure if Survivor counts (and people say it does) than those would too, but I feel you lol. I'll check it out, thanks! The older the better tbh! Takeshi's Castle was what like 1986ish?

Well people consider Survivor reality tv, so idk I figured it was towards that genre. But whatever we consider it, I like it haha.

Me neither.

I like one category of reality tv and even then only a small subsection of them: Game Shows. The subsection in particular seems to be Japanese game shows subbed in English, the only ones I know so far tbh are Sasuke and Takeshi's Castle. As to why, Sasuke is just cool and Makoto Nagano rules, plus it's fun with the silly competitors. Takeshi's Castle is just plain hilarious. Conversely I hate basically all american versions, American Ninja Warrior was ass and Wipeout was too, yet both were just stolen rebrandings of their Japanese counterparts with all the whimsy and fun sucked out.

And I'm mainly posting this to solicit recommendations for more Japanese game shows like that which I can pirate.

I have one question, did his shoes fly off?

My theory (that is absolutely real and not ridiculous in any way) is that the energy was diverted into launching his shoes back to the height he jumped from.

Tbf, it's also still used to refer to actual raccoons and coonskin hats and such. It's also is still to this day an actual surname, there could literally be a guy with that actual name (actually, googled it, looks like there's a Resort in Maui, and the CEO of something called Savvy both actually have that name, albeit the resort with an s on the end. Monkey is also "straight up a racial slur that was historically a major tool of oppression" and also people still call others monkeys for just acting silly or haphazardly, and there's of course the animal. Jig is another, it both can be used as a racial slur or to describe a little dance.

Point being, there are both racist and innocuous uses of all those words, and without knowing more about the author we don't have sufficient information to conclude intent. Hell I don't even know their country of origin, it's possible they're not American, ESL, etc, and have no idea the connotations of the word beyond "name pun."

Lmao mine does that.

downstairs MEOW

upstairs What?!

Four tiny feet running as fast as possible

See but I had a psychiatrist as a kid that would literally report what I said to my mother (and not like harming others or myself like is legally required, just like, shit that I said I didn't like about my mom and then he'd tell her and she'd punish me about it.) Legally, he was allowed to do that since I was a child, I'm not now and so legally they can't even if they had her phone number, but now I can't trust them even if that distrust is slightly illogical. Double distrust due to incentive to make me return and keep paying, but y'know the childhood "trauma" (if you can call it that) of having it weaponized against me using the therapist is still there on that one too.
