These are not the five eyes countries.

It should happen all the time.

Every time there's a politician speaking in front of a crowd, everyone in that crowd has a couple of projectiles strapped to their feet.

You probably can't smuggle in a bag of rotten tomatoes, or a pie, let alone some kind of weapon, but there you've got those two things right on your feet.

Maybe you get in there and you decide, hey you really like your shoes, you don't want to lose one, so you find something else. A pair of sunglasses. A watch. A hat. Maybe you look around and find something at the venue, like a little plastic display placard.

First of all, none of those things are going to throw as well as a shoe. You're going to sacrifice your distance and your accuracy just because you don't want to walk home with one shoe. Well there's no point in doing shit if you're going to miss, so better to just use the shoe.

Second of all, the shoe is a clear message. You throw your watch up there, he's likely to say hey thanks for the great watch. Even if you threw both of your shoes, they might say hey thanks for the free pair of shoes. But if you throw just one shoe, that's a clear fuck you.

It just occurred to me that the reason I don't remember those events, and have no basis to compare, because I had already left the platforms. Same for Digg.

I deleted my personal and business Twitter account the day Musk took over.

Should throw your shoe at him next time.

Disgusting. Fuck this dude.

I'm a two-time Bernie for President alum and believe without hesitation that he would have been a transformative president for America and the world.

Honestly I can only name two things on which Bernie and I disagree, and it's unsurprising because they are two things on which a lot of people disagree and highly nuanced, and it's heavy policy wonk differences on gun safety and certain middle east policy. I don't want to go into them in detail here. They're both issues on which our views have changed over time.

Sometimes Bernie is wrong (rarely) but he's always honest.

I just think it's a nondenominational winter season celebration movie.

Haha this is very funny.

Oh I don't follow anime.

Burgers come from Hamburg, Germany, hot dogs come from Frankfurt, Germany, macaroni and cheese come from Rome, Italy.

I'm pretty sure it's like this for every cousine.

The bottom line is that restaurants have to have a theme, right, how else would anyone even talk about it? And the theme is usually some region of the world with varying specificity, my favorite is "fusion," where the restaurant has two, or even three themes. When you go to a place with any theme, it's always a charicature. In the case of restaurants, I've found that the food rarely represents the daily cuisine of the regular people of whatever place or tradition, it's rather the cuisine of a restauranteur trying to run a business.

It's a few choice special dinner dishes, like Sunday or holiday meals, and a few chubby-kid approved favorites, and it seems just as often it's stereoptyical dishes that may not even be from the place/culture, such as General Tso's Chicken, that came from one Hunanese resteraunt in New York in 1972, and is now in the menu if every Chinese restaurant in America. And American restaurants abroad serve franks and hamburgers, despite the origins of both being in Frankfurt and Hamburg, Germany. In sum, there are no rules and everything is made up. You can get New Haven style pizza in Rome.

Is this some weird anti abortion grooming or something?

Lol. I had no idea.

What if there were a far-right populist movement advocating online for murdering specific leftists and encouraging anyone who might act on it to do so, by also promising to nullify valid criminal charges for such murders and encouraging others to do the same?

You don't see how in some places that might fall under accomplice liability? Encouragement plus shared intent equals accomplice. Don't even need to take a step toward the criminal purpose, as with conspirator liability. Surprised you didn't know that. Seems like you have room temp IQ.

Makes sense to me.

It's because people can have more money, and they know that when they do there's more problems. But having no money is simply unaffordable.

They were taken on different days.

They have over 200 photos already. I think the smiling photos are on a different day.

Oof.
