Kool-Aid pineapples trend

Yeah I'm going to try that now.

Good luck.

At this point the only problem that I think can realistically be addressed is immigration. We’ve seen what happens across the country when insane people will literally throw themselves in front of ICE vehicles and organize in terrorist-style cells to disrupt deportation.

I know you’re exaggerating, but the situation is changing rapidly. Black TFR has fallen to below white TFR. Hispanic TFR is crashing, though it’s still higher than white. Hispanic TFR is almost entire immigrant generation—the generation born or raised in the US has a very low TFR.

It is kind of funny. Mayor Goodway (black) is utterly incompetent!

Canadian slop.

I was on a train in Chicago near some Brits a couple of years ago and they were just RAVING about Chick-Fil-A. Like, they were organizing their trip to be able to go to another one the next day!

We chatted and we all like Nandos too!

The internet radicalizes.

I don't see the value in the post, brother. Whether you call it a meme or not, it strikes me like one of those text/explanation heavy lefty images that TRY to meme.

Imo, write what you want to say. I don't think the image is effective. Cheers.

Yeah, that is a good point. The Arabic of the Quran is supposed to be the LITERAL, EXACT word of god, and Arabic is important to all Muslims for that reason.

Ok, I think you're right, but with a slight nit -- some of the racial animosities go way back! Turks and Persians definitely look down on Arabs! (even though Arabic is the primo language)

One of my friends had a dad who came out as gay (several years after his mom mysteriously drowned). I suspect he was abused--physically beaten, if not molested. At the very least he was emotionally abused, cussed at, screamed, etc. for something as minor as not using a coaster, as I witnessed that firsthand many times.

My friend is now in his 40s and has completely cut his dad out of his life. He's married, has a beautiful daughter, has good job, and has become very MAGA.

It's possible to come out of that situation and do ok.

Difference. Jews, atheist or not, are Jews. Jews, whether American, Israel, British, Iraqi, whatever, are Jews first. There's no racial component to Islam or Christianity.

I literally can't find one person (other than you, I suppose), who claims that Jobs was secretly Muslim.

I'd pick other hills to die on.

Disagree re: Apple devices. Google and Chinese devices are way more untrustworthy. Ericson/Nokia used to be the easy spying targets!

Steve Jobs' father was a Syrian Muslim. If you look at pictures you can get a pretty good idea for his genetic background (Arab, Levantine, Greek, etc -- he's very Mediterranean/European looking). Jobs had no relationship with his bio father.

Jobs was not a Muslim. He was a counterculture Zen Buddhist humanist spiritual type if anything, but once he stopped being a Lutheran, I doubt organized religion or had much of any impact on his life.

I can't say I had ever heard the "Steve Jobs Muslim friends with Allen Dulles" conspiracy theory before, and I can't even find a single hit online claiming any connection between Dulles and Jobs, or Job's bio dad, or Job's adoptive dad.

Are you thinking of the wrong person.

Deboonked!

Nope. I think the same is true anywhere there is a large enough black population.

It's become a very powerful word for blacks and whites alike. It didn't used to have such a strong meaning.

Sounds familiar.

I don't quite understand what makes people go in different directions like this. In middle school/highschool there was a group of like 5-6of us who were super nerdy (80s/90s). We had different political beliefs, but we all got along, and we all agreed on a bunch of things too. We had far more in common than in differences. We were tight.

One of the most liberal of the group has because a super MAGA type. I've gone from being libertarianish to being hardcore anti-leftist and anti-libertarian.

Most of the others were kind centrist/liberalish/didn't really care much and they are almost all EXTREMELY leftist now.

The group had naturally dispersed, but we kept in contact. One friend, who I had literally known since elementary school, has ghosted me 100% since I responded to a Facebook post of his about voter ID being racist.

Today, there is no group, and no communication. Even the lefties got in some argument about something and excluded each other. ME and the newly MAGA guy are the only ones who keep on touch at all, so far as I know. Kind of a microcosm of society I guess.

I grew up in the south. If you even uttered anything close to "nigger" you would get your ass beaten.

It was pretty effective.

I have 0 interest in hanging out with 40 plus year old men. Unless they want to buy me nice things, of course.

There's a subreddit for that too.

My wife and I had this conversation before we had kids. We both believe that using abortion as birth control is wrong and immoral. We both believe that in the case of severe genetic or other developmental defects, abortion should be acceptable.

We specifically talked about Downs syndrome. We both agreed on abortion if our child had Downs.

We did lose one unborn child, around 12 weeks, when her heart stopped beating. We never met her, we never knew her, we never even saw her beyond a grainy ultrasound picture. We grieved intensely.

I was friends with a kid with Downs in elementary school. He was a sweet guy, earnest, kind, and a good person. His mom (who was older) took care of him until the day she died. He's had a hard life since then, though he seems happy. Downs people are kind of special that way.

For me, I would have aborted a child with Downs. And I would have grieved intensely. I cannot blame anyone who makes that decision.

Not exactly a surprise or news.

Apple's Chief Hardware Officer (something like the number 2 or 3 in the company) is Johny Srouji, an Arab Christian Israeli.

Apple's had chip design in Israel for some time. Haifa and Herzliya I believe.

She has a generic smooth AI baby face.

That's Lara! The AI face one doesn't look right at all.

And yeah, I did install "Nude Raider" mods back in the day, when her tits were literal triangles.

One of my biggest complaints about Kia2 and other adjacent communities is totally forgiving men for this.

Sex-starved, therefore we should be sympathetic and understanding when they buy OF, and in facts it's their bitch wives who are to blame.

How is that any different from your average hoodrat.

They're poor, held back by white supremacy, they're only looting because they're not of sound mind from systemic oppression, we should be sympathetic and understanding, and in fact it's the whites who are to blame.

The hole backend was probably ran by Mossad or unit 8200

God I hope that was deliberate phrasing and spelling. Thumbs up.
