Clark wasn't just a singles guy. He definitely hit with some power. In his prime, he was usually good for 20-30 home runs, 100+ RBIs, and his slugging percentage was decent, too. He cracked the top 5 in the league a couple of times, in that.
He did all this with a very modest physique, playing at a time when his contemporaries were starting to get all juiced up, too.
That's how the left always works.
When they're in power? "Elections have consequences". Do whatever the fuck they want. Fire whomever doesn't comply. Use the government to attack their enemies. We need to pack the court! Get the media to cover for them.
When they're not in power? OMG! You can't weaponize the government? You are supposed to be the president of all the people. That means you don't have a mandate to do anything without our permission. You have to respect our system's check and balances. Get the media to attack the right, non stop, and erode support.
Don't ever forget. The left has no absolute values, or morals. The only thing that matters is seizing control of power, and then maintaining that control. Everything else they tell you they believe in is total bullshit, and only matters at that particular point in time, with whatever particular point they're trying to push.
I wasn't paying attention, and didn't even notice it was supposed to be instant udon. Says うどん right on the package, so you're 100% right. I didn't even realize instant udon was a thing.
Looking at that guy's review you linked to, though... those noodles don't look like any udon I've ever had. They just look like slightly wider instant ramen noodles.
In all seriousness, I don't get why someone would want the instant udon in the original post here, unless you're at work, or something, and don't have access to a kitchen at all. It's trivial to get actual udon in a bag like this, and you just boil it in water. It's no harder than making spaghetti, and a hell of a lot healthier/better than whatever this "instant udon" is claiming to be.
Yeah. This is "きつね/kitsune ramen" (instant variety - just add hot water, like the cup noodles we are used to), and it has aburaage in it, which is that fried tofu square you are seeing. "Kitsune" is fox.
I've asked my wife about this name before, and it seems like this variety of ramen is called this because, in folktales or something, the fox "gods" are all slingblade, and liked themselves some of them fried tofus. It's actually left as an offering at shrines for them, sometimes.
So, anyhow, the ramen that has it in it is called "fox ramen".
In any event, I can see how the commercial seems a bit sensual, but the feminists (like always) need to fuck off. It's not a big deal. Humans have been making connections between food and sex forever.
Unless these same assholes raise a stink every time there is a women-targeted ad that has guys being seen in a sexy/sensual way (which we know they don't), they're just (as always) being intellectually dishonest.
More importantly, isn't it an amazing coincidence that this all starts becoming a problem - particularly a very public problem - the second the left decides Musk needs to be destroyed for engaging in politics that harms them?
This seems to be the mod that goes around removing anything that the left doesn’t want discussed:
Go back to my comments from right after the election, if you want to fact check my ass, but it was so obvious this was going to be the game plan again, and I commented such.
It’s going to be a massive sprint to make Americans as miserable and depressed as possible before the midterms two years from now. The war(s) will be going the worst ever. Inflation will be the worst ever. Egg prices? Worst ever. Fast food prices? Out of control. Racism? Out of control. Gas prices? Highest ever. He’s freezing Medicaid payments! (Read the actual release - he didn’t). And on, and on, and on.
They are going to hammer at all of this so hard again, with the goal being - now that their party is out of power - for everyone to have the constant cloud of negativity hanging overhead, and begging for “change”. There will be endless spin, and endless lies.
Trump and his crew are doing so well so far, but if they fail to start the ball rolling on the right finally taking the leftist propaganda/indoctrination system seriously, and to finally start dismantling it, none of it is going to really matter.
Disgusting. Seriously. This is the sort of crap that needs to stop. It’s very hard to believe that these 75k-ish level jobs require skills so unique, and so obscure that they are having to bring in people from out of the country to fill them.
What they’re doing is probably what all the other companies that abuse H1b’s are doing: they list ridiculous requirements, list a low ball salary for a person that has those requirements, people don’t apply because the salary isn’t good enough, this then allows the company to report, “see! We can’t find people for this job!”, and then they go get an Indian that is willing to do it for that salary. The problem isn’t that they can’t find people to fill the position, it’s that they don’t want to pay the going market rate that people with these skills are worth.
It’s pure, and utter bullshit. If Trump doesn’t overrule these clowns on this (Elon isn’t all bad, but fuck his stupid ass on this), he’s really setting himself up to be a massive disappointment.
It’s this. Elon, and Vivek are fully guilty of being retards, riling everyone up with this stupid ass talk. Trump is now guilty of not immediately making a very public statement of how he (should) have US workers’ backs, and is not for what they are saying.
The “psy op” portion of it is how literally the entirety of the left (the media, the tech company based social sites, the politicians, and all the terminally online retards on Reddit - mods and users) have hardcore seized upon this, and are clearly using, and amplifying this as much as humanly possible, trying to use it as a wedge to weaken / tear down the alliances made on the right.
Seriously, it’s incredible how hard the left are running with this. It’s very obvious that they hope to use it as a weapon.
These people take over subs (and hobbies), and then just repurpose them for their political activism. You see it all over the place where they put up the stupid fucking “pride” flag in the banner, to show it has been taken over.
It’s not just that. It’s that our system is supposed to err on the side of letting even potentially guilty people go free, so long as there is reasonable doubt. This guy was loaded up with fentanyl (enough to kill), had a ton of blockage from cholesterol, and was even covid positive. On top of that, there was no sign of dumbass Chauvin having done any physical damage to this guy, and he used a move listed in their own goddamn manual. How, in the fuck, should there have not been reasonable doubt that Chauvin killed him? Seriously - the decision wasn't supposed to be whether you thought he did it. It's supposed to be, when looking at all the evidence, is it reasonable that he might not have? It’s so blatantly obvious their decision was political. There is zero fucking way anyone can look at all that, and think that the state didn't leave any reasonable doubt that he was guilty as chargecd.
Additionally, the case clearly should have been overturned as a mistrial based on all the following bullshit:
- Minnesota decided to pay out around 30 million right before the trial, all but admitting guilt, and clouding the juror pool.
- There was that juror that lied about being an activist, and then a bunch of pictures came out later of him wearing activist shirts like BLM, etc.
- Activists leaving pig’s blood, and the head, at the door of one of the Chauvin’s expert witnesses, clearly attempting to intimidate, and influence the trial.
- Biden running his mouth in an extremely public way, telling everyone what “the right verdict” was, and how he would be retried federally, if necessary, to get it (executive branch interfering with judicial...)
- That raging asshole/racist Maxine Waters (congresswoman) giving press conferences all but demanding violent rioting if they didn’t get the verdict they wanted (legislative branch interfering with judicial...)
And so on, and so on...
Regardless of what sort of person Chauvin may/may not have been, this case was disgusting, and is a horrible stain on our system of justice. The left, and the media decided this case, NOT our laws.
The entire thing is just more of people shitbag leftists trying to set/create a narrative in which the white male is a raging idiot, who doesn't deserve the success he achieved, and it was instead the Asian guy, and the woman that actually deserved the credit.
Again - it's all so tiresome.
Perfect, George Lucas is not, but the guy did (with plenty of help. we all constantly interact with others, and get new ideas, help, etc.) give birth to an amazing film/universe.
This.
There is around a 50-60 yard difference (around 26%) difference in length for men vs women. When you combine this with the women’s tee boxes being significantly closer to the hole, allowing a man to play on the women’s tour would be a massacre.
For those who don’t play golf, the longer you hit your tee shot on any hole that isn’t reachable in 1 shot (which is basically just the par 3 holes, and a few short par 4’s), the shorter your second “approach” shot into the green (that’s where you see people putting the ball into the hole) is. This makes a huge difference because the longer a shot has to be, the less accurate it will be.
It gets even worse when you consider the following. On a 420 hard hole, If I am 320 off the tee, and that leaves me a 100 yards to the hole, and a woman is 250 off the tee, leaving 170 to the hole, we are now looking at: me pitching (a closer range, more accurate style of shot) a wedge close into the hole, vs a weaker woman still having to cover 170 yards, which is not only longer in general, but also takes her way more club to cover. She’d need something like a 4 or 5 iron (significantly more club, to hit a significantly less accurate) full swing to land the ball somewhere (probably not close), on the green.
Basically, being long confers tremendous advantage, not just in being able to hit the ball further, but in making all subsequent shots closer, and thus allowing you to be more accurate. Here’s a chart of how much longer men are than women.. For the layman, just look at the last “carry” column. That will be how far the ball is moving in the air, before striking the ground, and rolling.
TLDR, as with almost everything else, natutre/God has provided men with bodies that are dramatically more adept at anything physical. It’s not anything to be “sad” about, as nature is not concerned with our concept of “fairness” at all. It just is what it is, and we separate our sports for good fucking reason.
It’s so infuriating that the left is continuously allowed to seat these SC justices that are clearly making highly political activist type rulings.
There needs to be a more simple process to get people removed when it is obvious they have zero intention of doing their actual job, being only looking at the consistency of something with regards to the fucking Constitution. They are basically just admitting they lied about their oath, and that should be grounds for removal.
That's exactly what the pardon says. He's absolved of anything (federal) he did - already convicted of, or as of yet not accused of - during the 11 year period starting in 2014, and running through 2024.
It would seem that they are using this to close off the Burisma stuff, or any of the other influence peddling he was involved in.
It's actually even worse than just being a "violent lunatic". He was a violent lunatic who had been arrested 42 separate times, 4 of them being for assaulting random people, the most recent being an attack on a 67 year old woman:
The woman sustained a broken nose, a fractured orbital bone, and "bruising, swelling and substantial pain to the back of her head" in the Nov. 12 attack, according to a criminal complaint.
This guy was 100% a danger to everyone in that city, and Daniel Penny did absolutely nothing wrong in acting on this asshole bursting into a train, and informing the riders that he was going to "fucking kill everyone".
It's absolutely disgusting that Penny is probably at greater than 50/50 odds for going to prison for stepping up, and stopping this menace in his latest (and final. LOL) attack. When you've violently assaulted multiple random people, up to and including literally breaking the faces of nearly 70 year old women, I don't really give a fuck if you die when someone tries to stop you.
Update: The Guardian is no longer posting on X, Don Lemon is leaving X, expect more to follow suit. This is just hilarious.
I've said this multiple times both here, and on reddit. The left is going to be gunning so hard to get people off Twitter/X, and to outright destroy it now. They absolutely cannot stand the fact that they no longer have complete control over the messaging/narrative going out to the masses. Those "Community Notes" corrections that now appear every time some entity like The Guardian, The Washington Post, The New York Times, etc. tries to set the narrative (to a BS spin of what really happened) infuriates them. Think about how they used this control during the first Trump presidency. That is now (currently) not available to them, and they are shitting themselves.
The left cannot stand on its own without having total control of the messaging the public is being fed. Once again - normal people don't come to the ideological conclusions that the left has tried to propagandize everyone into having. They are indoctrinated into all the crazy shit (the trans stuff, the hating your own race stuff, the hating your own country stuff, etc). Thus, they need Musk/X to fail. They're entire existence depends on having the control that he (and others) are taking away.
This is why the whole left-being-in-charge-of-AI thing is so goddamned frightening to me. Google already serves up a an "AI Overview" for nearly every search you - and every other person on the planet - does now. The "AI" that provides that summary is trained by, and trained on stuff exclusively produced by, the left. They are the sole deciders of what is a "credible" source, and they are building the "AI" to have the same opinion of what is "credible" as they do.
They are going to have virtually total control over what people believe is "true".
I don't know why there aren't more people on the right that are terrified right now. Thinking of how the left abuses literally every bit of power they come into, they are 100% going to use this for indoctrination, and narrative control.
Nothing is below these people. They are the most hateful people on the planet. The second you, I, the latino men, the black men, the fucking pygmy hippo, runs afoul of their politics, we're all subhuman monsters that need to be killed.
These people - the really radical ones - have zero actual morals, or values. The only thing they value is gaining, and maintaining power, and then using it to force your compliance with their politics.
It was the first chink in their "total ability to control the online narrative/discussion for nearly all people in the middle" armor.
They will literally never shut the fuck up about him after that. The left cannot survive without the ability to control the news/narrative, and he broke that. Every time the average person gets to see what they've been hiding from them, stuff immediately goes south for them.
The average human doesn't want what the radical left wants. What they want isn't normal. People are indoctrinated into sharing the radical left's worldview.
Not sure, but they sure must be after this m’fer. Here is what you get served up on a google search:
About: Graham George Linehan is an Irish comedy writer and anti-transgender activist. He created or co-created the sitcoms Father Ted, Black Books, and The IT Crowd, and he has written for shows including Count Arthur Strong, Brass Eye and The Fast Show.
You don’t even have to click search to get it served up. It’s so fucking crazy how much power the left has to set the narrative on anything via their control over the internet companies.
The media always does this with women. Whenever google serves you up a photo to go with whomever you searched, or you look at a wiki entry - if it’s of a woman, it’s always at least a decade out of date.
This lady is one of the best examples ever.
I wonder if it would have anything to do with the fact that a lot of rich black people tend to athletes, rap artists, etc.
I seriously doubt - but could change my mind, if showed the stats - that wealthy black businessmen are considerably more likely to commit murder.
Would probably be super difficult to find accurate stats on any of that, in any event. Interesting to think about, though.
