We should pass a constitutional amendment requiring every diplomat visiting the US to French kiss the sitting president at first meeting. You want to meet with Trump? You have to kiss him square on the lips.

If you’re looking to get into the scrap metal business, I could sell you the Eiffel Tower.
I mean, for the sake of the hypothetical, perhaps we assume that Wolverine has undergone a deep religious awakening and has decided to convert to Judaism entirely out of his own free will as an adult of sound mind and body!
That’s simply not true. Or you’re confusing antique century-old porcelain with finishes not used today with contemporary pieces.
We actually got a full set of wedding china, and we got married in 2018. We’re elder Millennials. While I tell people that they should probably skip the hina, I actually enjoy it. Growing up my parents had a set of china that only came out for company and holidays, and it had a certain charm to it. And I’ve found our set serves a similar role. I actually keep it in the very same cabinet my mom had when I was a kid (she’s long since used a fancier cabinet that matches their dining set.)
But even in 2025, it can be nice to have a set of China. There’s just something special about having people over, either for social occasions or holidays, and being able to offer them a really nice place setting that isn’t part of your normal repertoire. I do got out of my way to use it though. You could just be stopping by my house for a chat, and if I offer you coffee, I’ll probably give it to you in fine china.
Pity the poor shepherd gamer who must sell his ram to buy more RAM.
Well yes, the incantation typically involved calling upon the ghost of the Emperor Nero.
“In my perfect ideal world, that we have no path to achieving, we could sustain our large population indefinitely.”


It really is a classic!


I have a modest proposal to deal with the homeless problem.


We shouldn’t allow men to serve elected office. They’re just too emotional to serve as proper leaders. Men belong in the home, where they won’t start random pointless fights with other males. Leadership requires a steady hand and emotional intelligence, skills men fundamentals lack.


I mean, how else are you going to try and march across the damn Soviet Union? That place was fucking ginormous.
These people are all damned to Hell.
We have one. A small one that came with this little countertop ceramic honey pot we found at a pottery shop. We actually tried using it, but the ants got to the literal honey pot very quickly.


I really wonder about what people thought of that then. Did people really think it was a medical thing, or was this just a socialy respectable way for a man who couldn’t get his wife off to pass the task on to someone who could perform the task with an air of medical respectability?
Or Hell, maybe it was a 19th century kink or swinger thing. People have always been freaky. At times in history they just had to hide it better.


No no no. You want WoodsScientist. I’m WoodScientist.


Some of those areas are really remote. He could have easily died, and his body was then torn apart and scattered by scavengers before anyone could find it.
People frequently get lost in remote areas, die, and never have their bodies found. All that has to happen is that the animals get to the body before search parties do.
Or he could have simply landed in a stream or river, and his body was devoured by fish as it tumbled its way into the sea.
There are plenty of ways for nature to destroy a corpse.


IDK. I’ve been unironically referring to LLMs as “the Devil’s machine” or simply “The Devil” lately. :D
I mean, if you use them, they do steal your soul, so it checks out.
Who says it has to be evil or cruel? I make a mean dish. It’s about average.
