a) This is beyond stupid. Where do people think butter comes from?

b) Once again, journalistic hatred is insufficient.

On November 7, the FDA classified the recall as Class II, which means it is "a situation in which use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote."

and a couple paragraphs later

"The symptoms and severity of allergic reactions to food can be different between individuals and can also be different for one person over time," the CDC added. "Anaphylaxis is a sudden and severe allergic reaction that may cause death. Not all allergic reactions will develop into anaphylaxis and more than 40% (2 in 5) of children with food allergies in the United States have been treated in the emergency department."

Why bother with the anaphylaxis section, given that "the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote"? And if someone lactose-intolerant bought butter, then the stomach issues they have after eating it are an individual idiot tax.

Well, thanks for proving Trump correct, as he's repeatedly said that he's the only thing standing between the elites and the average US. Also

Trump’s reelection means the end of the Pax Americana.

Good, why are we paying for the security of half the world?

Under U.S. leadership, the postwar world order had a stellar record of preventing major conflict.

What on earth are you smoking, nutjob? Sure, there may have been no hot world wars since WW2, but I recommend you consult the list of countries where the US has toppled governments and tell me how great US leadership is again.

Those of us who clung to it, foolishly, are now strangers in a strange land, exiled inside a country many of us are destined to no longer feel fully part of.

That is because I literally believe we do not have a country anymore. A country requires borders, which have been fully ignored. And, more importantly, a country requires a unified culture, which the wokes have spent the last two decades destroying.

From the second post on the first link:

It's a longer game, but getting more of them into college would be helpful. It exposes them to more ideas and creates more stable opportunities for financial success.

Well, maybe if you hadn't spent the past 3-4 DECADES insisting colleges focus on recruiting women, and establishing women-only scholarships/spaces, and pushing men OUT of college then you wouldn't have to say stuff like that.

This would be done by making college cheaper and more accessible for everybody.

Lol, still clueless. I'd start by making it so half of college is not worthless fluff gen ed classes and firing half (or more) of the administrators.

1. With the latest update (that broke the script extender and a bunch of other mods), one of the big things they announced is "we made several of the mods there free! It was Enclave armor, and Enclave was mentioned in the TV Show!"

2. There are virtually no quests in the Creation Club shop. Oh, sure, "technically" there are, but pretty much all of them are "go to this location, kill one enemy, get item". Or, if they're really complex, maybe you'll have to go to two or three locations. As far as I know, there's no quests out there that have any semblance of story or anything remotely complicated to them.

I'd love to see it, but I'm highly skeptical. The EU government(s) are too power-mad, both now and for the last couple thousand years.

Well, the fact check is no longer blank. But, it the equally useless "Similar to another post reviewed by third-party fact checkers."

Of course, they don't tell you what the other post is, or why the other post was judged false, or who the "third-party" fact checkers are. Or what color the fact checkers hair is or whether or not the fact checkers have septum piercings.

Remember the "I would rather run into a bear in the woods than a man" thing? Male govt employees can go to Adak Island, female govt employees can go to Wainwright then.

I'll agree that Trump is a loudmouth at times, and is rough around the edges. (Just like many people who grew up and lived in NYC.) But I'm beyond done caring about it given that the other side is worse about it.

This past weekend, my own governor called me and 44.2% of her state "anti-American" Joe Biden called anyone opposed to him garbage. The media spent months now shouting Trump and his supporters were fascists. You can't go online without people shrieking about Trump supporters being maggots and people misspelling Trump's name to insult him. In some places, you can't show any support of Trump in public without risking a literal beating.

But, by all means, claim moral superiority by voting for a candidate who got her start in politics by being a literal whore, who kept people in jail in defiance of the Supreme Court so she could send them to fight wildfires, and who promoted a fund to bail out rioters who helped cause $500 million of property damage in Minneapolis and up to $2 billion of damage nationwide.

What's the saying from back in BLM days? Your jeers mean nothing to me anymore, since I've seen what makes you cheer.

The Usual Suspects(tm) will just do more of the same (and likely harder) undoubtedly. Hopefully most of them get Concorded, Disneyed, Budwisered, etc.

What we need to do now, though, is grow and build. The election means some time has been bought, but to take advantage of that we need to offer and support alternatives. Get Woke Go Broke is all well and good, but we need to make sure Get Based Get Rich (I know it's terrible as a slogan) also takes off.

Well, what's the old saying? You can judge someone by the quality of their enemies? The freakouts from celebrities, journos, dem politicians, and internet jannies alone make siding with Trump seem like a good idea.

Why? They've been told over and over that it's their right to vote, and voting is super important, and they need to vote for the democrat to save the world from the evil fascist nazi republican monsters, so they become the vote blue no matter who crowd.

Or (as was tangentially relevant given the date of the election) the Guy Fawkes plot.

It's not even 7 AM the day after the election, and they're already making us go back to the old refrain? Come on, I can't really hate you urinalists any more without risking a heart attack!

I'm seeing everywhere that the House is going to flip to Democrats.

Uncertain. Decision Desk has 61% chance for Republicans to win it. (though they did have Dems up by a similar percentage earlier).

Anyone want to take any bets that Democrats are ballsy enough to try it?

I'm sure some will want to do it. But, even if Dems take it, with Trump looking to have a substantial popular vote lead, only a few Dems will need to side with Rs to certify it because it won't be a big house lead.

Virtually everyone's called NC and Georgia for Trump. Assuming Alaska goes Trump, all he needs is PA (Harris can have Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona and Nevada).

And in PA right now, Trump is up 222000 votes with Fox estimating about 700k ballots left.

Shenanigans can still happen, but I think it is too far gone at this point. Based Amish carried things in PA I think.

Women are always the ones to insufferably sick to rules, no matter if they're just making things worse

Especially if they make things worse for people they have a grudge against.

Karen memes are a thing for a reason.

Even in Japan, only 62% distrust the UN? Those are rookie numbers, we need to get those numbers up to 90% distrust or higher.

Your proposal is acceptable, I guess?

It also peaked at 70k players on release day. Not anything like Concord's awful release, but also not good for a worldwide release of a 10 year development AAA game. We'll see what happens over the first weekend, but given that it currently has 38k playing while the Monster Hunter Wilds beta test has 319k playing I don't think the sales numbers are going to be all that hot.

I want to believe you. But:

1. As usual, the "glitch" only goes in one direction

2. There are active investigations in PA about thousands (or maybe it was tens of thousands) of fraudulent voter applications

3. Law enforcement was actively turning people away from early voting sites hours before the sites were scheduled to close.

PA's system is rotten.

Can't do that anymore, unfortunately. Direct control over your party was deemed unnecessary and removed.

Nah, she's always been darker-skinned. Maybe the skin color darkened a touch from 2 to I, but if so it was very minor.

DA:O Isabela

DA2 Isabela

Bad student, we've been over this! No cross joins unless you have a VERY good reason. And there is no good reason here!

What on earth did they do to Isabela?

On the purely physical level, she apparently went from pirate queen to, what, Egyptian belly dancer (along with the obligatory bust size reduction)?

And, personality-wise? You're telling me that someone who is perpetually sarcastic, who Hawke first meets in a bar fight in DA2, who approves of Hawke getting every last coin possible out of people, who disapproves of sticking your nose in random people's business for no gain, and very nearly triggered a war among the three largest world powers by stealing the equivalent of the original copy of the Koran is now teaching people how to go through apology rituals for using the wrong pronouns?

Nuke it from orbit, several times. It's the only way to be sure.

There was one in AZ last week too.
