Every time. Especially anonymously on the Internet.

Of course, the other person may remain rooted in their ignorance and fallacy, but that’s their loss.

Anyone else remember what the Republicans did when Hillary Clinton proposed sweeping healthcare reform during her husband’s presidency? And how close they came to shooting down Obamacare entirely? There’s no valid “both sides” argument here, the gulf between the parties is as wide as the Bible Belt.

Or we’d at least have better success in apprehending package pirates and shoplifters.

There’s billions of reasons to hate those guys that have nothing to do with their religion.

And using “woke” as a pejorative? Woke is simply having basic human decency and a modicum of common sense, so nobody who finds it used about them really minds. “Scold” has been used for centuries to shove outspoken and/or educated women into submission. It’s a label I’ll be proud to wear.

As for your defending dehumanization, and calling some people’s attempts to be gender-inclusive “creepy” rather than simply ungrammatical? Gee, sorry you find even the merest reference to anything other than heterosexual-male humanity so icky you can’t even.

Supporting the Reptilian Conspiracy puts you squarely in the same camp as David Icke, follower of Robert E. Howard, who referred to the “Kosher Nostra” and said powerful men in the Bible couldn’t have been really Jewish, but must have been “Aryan, like myself.”

You’ve told us who you are, and I believe you.

"…and we post our best fights on TikTok! "

Hahaha, I think the only person getting worked up here is yourself. I mean really, what’s cringier than “wokescold”? Next you’ll be calling me a “wokewitch.” For the high crime of checking Wikipedia. Put down the torch and pitchfork, sweetie, you’ll hurt yourself.

Well, I was asking whether they meant another word or whether I was misunderstanding their use of this one. They did indeed choose articulate, and were using it in a way that is foreign to my experience.

Articulate can relate to physical flexibility, jointedness, which isn’t a strong point for seals on land, and may contribute to their tendency to squash their pups. Speaking clearly is also not a strong point.

Mosseri has dual US/Israel citizenship, and Zuckerberg was raised Reform and has Jewish ancestry. So whether or not that’s why you despise them, the point about the dog whistle is legit. Maybe you should edit it to something more befitting the reasons you despise them. Be creatively critical!

Paul Simon trying to crowd Art Garfunkel out of the picture again , instead just makes a mustache of himself.

I’m having a hard time with “articulate” in this context…?

Not necessarily, it means someone else was smarter than you, or exploited a weakness of yours, which might be your kind heart or your greed, rather than a lack of intelligence. Note: kindhearted people won’t mind being told this but greedy people will mind. “Scammed” or “exploited” put the onus on the perpetrator. If you already said "played for a fool " and they took offense, consider adding some of these types of synonyms if you want to mend their feelings.

You’re absolutely right and it’s nice to see correct medical nomenclature here on Lemmy. Unlike some places where someone would say he’s wacko and belongs in the crazy hospital.

Depends on the hands. A professional fighter can be charged with AWALW using their hands, or feet if that’s part of their martial arts training, although their body parts can’t legally be registered as such.

This guy clearly intended that pen to be lethal and likely had the strength for it, but was fortunately restrained.

For some reason that Concord Grape flavor is just overwhelming for me. Apple is a more neutral flavor. I started with apple because it was what I had on hand, but tried grape and went back to apple. It doesn’t add the purple color, but as with wine, the fruit sugars caramelize to aid browning.

No, because you’re heating it to oven temperatures, not just keeping it slightly warm. If it were cool enough to ferment the juice, the meat would be breeding botulism or e coli or something.

Nutmeg is great in creamed spinach as well

For chicken or beef pot-roasted with vegetables, apple juice. I started doing it when recipes called for wine but I had little kids and no money.

But they’ll make this into an argument to ban abortion medication.

What that kill rate indicates is that cougars don’t attack unless they’re pretty damn sure they can not only win, but not be very injured in the process. Because injury = starvation for them. The only other case they’d attack humans is they’re really desperate, perhaps a female protecting her cubs, or all prey has been killed by fire, that kind of situation.

If a fully grown cougar gets the jump on you and you’re alone, you will likely lose. But if you are paying attention, see them and let them know they’ve lost the element of surprise, and make it clear you’re going to leave if they let you but fight if they attack, they probably won’t.

Of course if you’re hiking with your children or pets you should choose areas without known cougars, and keep them leashed close to you. Note: if you’re snack-size, you should bring bear spray, or your neighbors’ obnoxious kid who runs slower than you.
