Last I knew Coca-Cola was still importing shit tons of coco leaves every year to process in New Jersey (legally under permits)… not sure if that comes from Columbia or Peru though

It was never a war of on drugs, it was a war of subjugation. The war is going exactly how they wanted it too.

People are afraid enough of drugs they can manipulate elections with them. The number of people who were convinced Fentanyl was being brought over the Mexican border by people trying to illegally immigrate and that those 2 issues were tied together was high.

They made people scared, and manipulated them into allowing the government to get away with persecuting people while disregarding the inequality of it.

In this context Tragic was a title earned for their efforts. It’s like King Charles knighted the Titan, but since it was neither a Sir or Dame, it joined Titanic with the pronoun Tragic

Yeah, it was definitely a get readers attention scare tactic. 10% tax on hotels is nothing.

It’s like saying “We had to raise our taxes to match that of Florida districts due to federal cuts by Trump”

Sensationalism, but some may be more true than others

No shit, what else would I have meant?

10%, that’s a large difference than 900%. This is one of the times I came to the comments to see if the article is worth reading, now I guess I have to to figure out the fuck they meant

I always liked making bread when I was younger, but I hadn’t made any in about 10 years and tried a bread maker recently that someone gave us.

Why do I feel like it’s so much harder to make in a bread maker. Just throwing it on a pan seems so much easier for me.

Humbleness I see

I am above average at identifying things that I enjoy doing.

If when I pressed it it got rid of any remnants of me having been here, like was never born… press it in a second.

“lighthearted” discussion Trump called it according to the article. Joking with him about sending missiles that will incapacitate fuel for his constituents or soilders and their equipment.

Out of curiosity, what does this do to the USD? I know it is a “small” amount relative to our country, but if they are swapping $40b in U.S. Dollars for a currency of high volatility, isnt it a guaranteed loss of believed stability in those USD up to that amount?

The illusion of the U.S. being a free country will hold for a while, to those who wish it is true. That’s the problem

While I understand they are all elliptical, isn’t that the reason they moved Pluto to a dwarf planet, because it’s orbit was “to elliptical” and crossing Neptune’s orbital path?

I love the ever permanent comet in that image. I like to think it somehow has a tail, yet sits in orbit

Probably used the same pizza dough, or they ran out and the worker decided it was easier at the time. A thin crust probably helps with that

To me giving a company or government permission to create the databases allowed for mass facial recognition is the same thing as giving the facial recognition data to criminals. It will be leaked/hacked/sold, etc. It is only a matter of time.

How many Social security numbers in the U.S. have been leaked/hacked/sold/illegally transferred? ~340 million.

Facial recognition will be a near useless tool for security in 10 years, and 100% for population monitoring at the rate we are going.

Yeah it was just a thin crispy crust with cinnamon apples and a swirl of frosting like drizzle. As a kid it was delicious lol. As an adult it may not hold up as well, *shrug

Edit, maybe that was Cicis actually, a buffet we went to after a basketball season. Cheap salad/pasta/pizza buffet

The cinnamon apple one I remember being alright. Granted that was 20+ years ago, so all pizza tasted good when I was still a teenager

Found it, this was the comment you were pointing me to right? I’ll save it and I’m going to dig through all these sites/suggestions on Friday night/ Saturday to narrow it all down. Those do look cool! Thanks
