  1. I had to look this up... I think he's actually referring to amalgamation. I don't care what it's called, I just want my Char Siu Bao and snow pea tips for breakfast, a Spicy Patty for lunch, and Lechon for dinner... 'merica! https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/acculturation
  2. Man this is tough and I'm kinda in the same boat, but if you can talk to them (not lecture) then you can largely deprogram them over time. My friend, whom I have known since I was 5 is not that educated. He has a quick wit and high EQ and can figure out how to do just about anything except pass college English. He has an undiagnosed learning disability along with dyslexia. But his family's ethos seemed to be "help is for the weak, just work harder" Now he has his own service company that he truly built himself from scratch. But making rounds in a truck and listening to talk radio is a hell of a drug. Almost daily conversations over years. Calmly using facts to wash off the layers of BS. Then reinforce conversations with supporting info from actual experts not youtube influencers. One of the things that worked surprisingly well when he talked about podcasts and youtube channels was to ask him about what products they were selling. I think that made the connection that these aren't truth bringers, but charlatans. I talked with him a lot about social media engagement mechanisms designed enrage and delight. One of his guys was the one who dragged him down the rabbit hole, but he quit after my friend got vaccinated and that's helped out a lot. (yes I had to talk him through all that) tl/dr if you care about the person you will help them not drown in a sea of bullshit.
  3. More Trump votes = more Trump votes. I get the improved percentage (hopefully that carries over to other more left leaning districts) What I want to hear is >50%D and low voter engagement in strong R districts
  4. I liked what I read until the last 3 sentences. *If* your district is 45% D, why would you be enthused about the turnout? You gonna be down 10 votes for every 100, but you want to make it up in volume? I hope you're wrong about the percentages.

    RIP Chuy's

    The George on Borough High St in London had the best Chips(fries) with rosemary and sea salt. But they got bought by the Greene King (corporate pubs) and now the fries are nowhere near as good as they used to be. Still a cool little hidden-ish pub. IIRC it was a set piece in Game of Thrones
  6. also....holy shit it's time to think about eggnog again?
  7. So it turned out great... I think I slightly prefer the more original flavors, but my wife likes the rum and Kahlua better. I think it's just a flavor preference. We both agree that the demerara sugar on top is the shit... it's much better
  8. As my degenerate friends used to say... 1, 2, 3, not bacchus! (bacchus gets killed at the end of the freak fest)
  9. lol 70s song too extreme for us now... saw this in person. worth a watch imho https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhpXZZJnvY4
  10. I'm sorry, but this is so much horse shit. I mean, if all you do is rely on those below you for information why do e level execs make 200x those they rely on for information? For fucks sake! E levels are like the weatherman... See I told you it might rain!
  11. I hear you, but I seem to recall after 9/11 patriot or patriot 2 set up a 100 mile zone that allowed law enforcement to check your legal status etc... AKA vast majority of US population https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/border-zone Are immigration officials allowed to stop people in places wholly inside the U.S.? U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the federal agency tasked with patrolling the U.S. border and areas that function like a border, claims a territorial reach much larger than you might imagine. A federal law says that, without a warrant, CBP can board vehicles and vessels and search for people without immigration documentation “within a reasonable distance from any external boundary of the United States.” These “external boundaries” include international land borders but also the entire U.S. coastline.
  12. Read the article.. Hyper linked. They are legit nazis, and they love everything Trump stands for.
  13. In other boat/trump related news... Swastika Flags Flown During Donald Trump Boat Parade in Florida
  14. With tears in his eyes he asked "Orange Jesus, will you, Margery, and that hot goth grizzly adams make me airtight?"
  15. Like I said before, too much Miami Vice. Also a good friend of the family is probably selling him gas, so that's a win. Honestly, I'd rather have the pontoon boat. I could have a lot more fun with a huge stocked cooler, a magma kettle, a sound system, couches, and make shift stripper pole.
  16. lulz SC you had everything and you pissed it away
  17. What should I be paying for a Glock 43x?
