My wife broke her ankle and insurance denied the entire claim for being "not medically necessary". The "medical professional" (not doctor) who denied the claim had experience in OBGYN, not orthopedics.

100% going to win the appeal because like, we have x-rays of the shattered bones in her leg, but seriously wtf. People seriously believe this is the ideal medical system?

Kakuna wearing a tux?

They also were in their car outside the gate to the property. TECHNICALLY that gate may be inside the property line, but that's still totally egregious.

Hmm, I think you're right about sterilization vs gunk removal. Got those mixed up.

A note on alcohol as a cleaner:

~~Alcohol is actually a more potent solvent when in solution with water. 70% isopropyl alcohol is so prevalent because it's actually more effective than higher concentrations. ~~

Nobody cares what Trump sycophants think. They are already voting for Trump and nothing is going to change that.

To a reasonable person who is unmotivated to vote (the REAL demographic that needs to be courted), this makes the Trump team look absolutely deranged.

THAT'S how you take down a Gish Gallop.

"I don't give a fuck what you're trying to pivot to. Do you trust Maduro's statistics?"

This works for some things, but it's like the parable of the boiled toad: you need to push on the edges of truth, not come out guns blazing with "post-birth abortions", "Immigrants eating family pets", and "Democrats wanted Roe v Wade overturned also"

The root of the thing is that Islamic teachings require practitioners to dress modestly.

Interpretations of this range from "cover your sex bits" to "don't show an inch of skin to anybody except your husband".

"Push here to open" on Mac and cheese boxes. I swear they don't even bother perforating the boxes anymore.

Spherical isosceles triangle, in this particular example.

The lore is that the saarlac actually keeps you alive while digesting you. ~~Like, it puts roots in that act as life support so it has a constant source of protein or whatever. ~~ eh, that last but might not be accurate but there is some kind of enzyme in their stomach that keeps you alive? Whatever.

Residents of the suburbs be like:

The FBI recently came into some hard evidence about Russia's interference actions.

Terminator 2 is in a weird spot since it's a sequel to an 80s movie but is itself a 90s movie. But I'd nominate it for this award.

"Pele who can't defend themselves physically"

Like Elon, who pulled out of a fight he tried to start with Zuck because he'd get his ass kicked?

This "challenge" has been going on some before widespread internet access.

Of course not. Zuckerberg is 13 years younger and actively trains MMA. Elon is fat, spends all day tweeting bullshit, and is probably addicted to ketamine.

Zuck legitimately might kill Elon on accident if that fight happened. (But fuck em both)

You know Texas is in a bad place when Dan Crenshaw is like our fifth-worst politician

If the government wanted that, they'd have been making steps towards that goal over the last several years. Instead, they're thwarting any attempts at a path to citizenship for the people already doing these jobs and actively contributing to our economy.
