I think it's used in a lot of ways that isn't "drinking a glass of milk". I suspect most milk is poured over cereal. It's also used a lot in cooking, but insisting on raw milk to bake with seems especially weird.

Maybe the joke isn't particularly fair, maybe it doesn't really need to be.

You have logical reasons to avoid antibiotics and preservatives. Someone might not agree, but whatever the case, you made that decision based on some amount of evidence.

Raw milk though... I think the meme is correct to equate anger with pasteurization as a denial of germ theory. We pasteurize and refrigerate for the same reason: to keep bacteria from growing. It is a fair question: if pasteurization is unnecessary, why is refrigeration necessary? Avoiding preservatives doesn't beg the same question.

Quite a few weirdos, really.

I don't know where you're searching, but the earth is usually pretty visible at the horizon.

Around 1/3 of the country voted for him.

It would have been a great political move though. Make Republicans go on the record as wanting more money in politics. CU is horribly unpopular and they could go on the offense for once...if they wanted to.

They probably couldn't pass it, but this is the precise sort of fight they could wage to excite their base...if they wanted to.

Not to defend the spineless Dems or this performative stunt, but it would be pretty difficult to pass at any point. They would need a lot of Republicans to join.

But I am picking nits. There's no good reason not to push for this while they're in power. If they had thrown their weight behind it in 2023, and forced Republicans to go on the record for CU, we'd probably have President Harris now.

if the US government wanted Google to do something, they could storm their headquarters and get the government tech people to go in the servers and change it.

Bwahahahahahahainhalehahahahahahaa

Thanks, I needed that. Whatever movies you're watching are terrible.

Forcing your way into Google to have "government techs" change something is NCIS level ridiculous. Conceivably they might get a court order to "force" Google to change. Funnily enough, the US and Mexico have the exact same levers to make a company do what they want. The US has more power to push those levers though.

Triviality? That is the main focus of the sentence.

This video is absolutely mental in a way that scratches my brain in all the right places.

Noooo! If cats are able to wield this power, the human race is doomed!

Turns out undocumented people are difficult to tell apart from documented people. Everyone has the right to due process, the system is only designed to work at a certain pace, and Democrats who Republicans kept yelling were allowing the country to be invaded were actually rooting people out of the country at a breakneck pace. People called Obama the Deporter in Chief for a reason.

No God's! No Pasta Masters!

Spaghetti derives from the consent of the people.

What do you think "lite Republicans" means?

How did Democrats "reign in Israel"? You know other countries exist right? And they exert international pressure? Democrats have not reigned in Israel at all.

I'm so glad that your choice allowed you to claim moral superiority.

Here waiting for you to stop infighting and join us in the real world.

One day we will develop POIP technology, but, alas.

You are not the Spaghetti Overlord. The people will sphagett as they please.

Democrats are trying to change the system from the inside. If they just roll over and expose their bellies, then Republicans promise to only kill marginalized people, but leave their insider trading alone. #Resist!
