  1. Yep. As I’ve noted, we don’t get out of this without massive bloodshed. His cult has made it clear that they are 100% in favor of the murder of every single human who is not full-on Trumpy. Tell me how we’re not at “kill or be killed” with these fucking psychopaths? Sane Americans are going to be left with no choice but to shoot back, sooner or later.
  2. Buried in that post is a golden nugget of truth, he said so himself: “A wrong leader can only bring catastrophic results to a country, no matter which country it is.” Ab-so-fucking-lutely. I couldn’t agree more. Kinda exactly what some of us have been sounding alarms on for a decade.
  3. We are a genuinely evil country. Psychotically evil. Like, fucking cartoonishly so.
  4. Some of the daughter’s spread with friends and classmates in germany. She also made sweet potato casserole with lots of brown sugar and pecans, and a big tray of cornbread. Friends brought: Turkish lentil meatballs, Bavarian cheese, beer, and pretzels, Russian pancakes, Ukrainian tuna/egg/mayo salad, blinis, Armenian meat pastries.
  5. Those numbers translate to 1,000 Stanley nickels or 14 Ameros.
  6. Just a simple Scottish breakfast: sausage roll with egg (used Lorne sausage, so left Scottish sausage). Simple, damned fine. To dress it up, add a crisp slice of black pudding, but I didn’t want to break out my last roll of black pudding just yet. Also, in digging through some old recipes, found my mom’s handwritten cobbler recipe. This is how she (and now we) have made cobbler my whole life. Best with peaches or dewberries. I go a bit heavy on the fruit - this version of the recipe doesn’t say it, but it calls for 2 cups. I usually go with 2.5 cups. And the bake time ends up slightly longer, nearly an hour, because you want the crust to brown some on top. Not making a cobbler now, just thought some of yall might appreciate it.
  7. Boy says £28 in Glasgow, so not bad. But daughter said they wanted €160 in Bonn. She went with chickens instead.
  8. Not sure which thread we discussed this in, but I inquired about the cost of turkey outside the US. In Scotland, the boy found one for £28, so not too bad. But in Germany
.daughter couldn’t find one to order for less than €160, and she said fuck that. So, she’s making 5 large roasted chickens
and a goddamn tofurkey for her vegetarian housemate and friends (they’re doing Thanksgiving today, because she doesn’t have class on Fridays). FFS. A tofurkey.
  9. Daughter special-ordered one for a Thanksgiving meal she’s cooking in Germany tomorrow, boy cooked one for his crew in Glasgow today. I’ve messaged to see how much they ran.
  10. Jesus. You may need to go hotter than usual to have those ready tomorrow afternoon.
  11. Yes.
  12. The fact that the stock market has become an irrational meme-stock and utter speculation based investment is not a vindication of the completely speculative and irrational basis of crypto. It’s an indictment of both.
  13. Fuckin’ lawyers, man.
  14. Forever and ever amen. Perfection.
  15. As a certified dude, I have to observe that “safer” and “more fun” are mutually exclusive concepts. I only shop in the “stupid dangerous and fucking awesome” section of the retail world.
