Their bank accounts and political ideology datapoints were, I guarantee it.

I wonder this exact thing, given that soil is a living organism full of beneficial bacteria and other organic materials. The food we eat consumes it, takes what it needs, and then we do the same.

I find it also interesting that while the article claims this is a cultural thing vs. being done for heath benefits, I’d argue it became cultural because of a universal understanding of health benefits.

Now I’m not saying this is some long lost concept that is the missing key to fix all our ills, however I can see how consuming soil was an integral part of maintaining gut health and boosting immunity way before we understood how those systems work.

Whoa! I just told my partner literally yesterday that lol is the laugh track of texting.

Also Screetch, IIRC from an episode of I Love the 90’s on VH1 like 20 years ago.

Me too. Honestly, I’ve gotten to the point where I believe one is actually required to be sociopathic and all that comes with it in order to become that ultra wealthy. Capitalism essentially rewards these traits and concentrates them into the greed for power at the cost of all else that we see as a through line with these people.

People like us and most everyone else just aren’t wired that way, as ultimately we each have a limit to what and who we are willing to sacrifice for material means. We all have experienced greed to some degree within ourselves, but the difference is that it has a ‘bottom’ so to speak.

‘Fuck you, pay me’

The worse it is, the more attention it gets.

Almost like it wasn’t about them in the first place.

Can you name the truck with four wheel drive,
smells like a steak and seats thirty-five…

Canyonero! Canyonero!

Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down,
It’s the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown!

Canyonero! (Yah!) Canyonero!\

(Insert small print fast voice) The Federal Highway commission has ruled the
Canyonero unsafe for highway or city driving.

Canyonero!

12 yards long, 2 lanes wide,
65 tons of American Pride!

Canyonero! Canyonero!

Top of the line in utility sports,
Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!

Canyonero! Canyonero! (Yah!)

She blinds everybody with her super high beams,
She’s a squirrel crushing, deer smacking, driving machine!

Canyonero!-oh woah, Canyonero! (Yah!)

Drive Canyonero!

Woah Canyonero!

Woah!

Absolutely. It was a clear attempt at adding ‘perceived value’ by using the word ‘experience’ so many times. He knows what type of consumer he’s speaking to.

These interviews are really just PR opportunities for guys like this (in their perception).

Came here to say this. What ‘premium’ experience is he talking about?

Something tells me that the only Starbucks he actually has used recently is likely a very high-end version for the C titles in HQ, meters away from his office and for employee use only.

Laughing so hard I can’t breath.

Oddly this isn’t what officers mean when they say ‘weaponizing a vehicle’.

The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labor. War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent. -George Orwell

The Outsiders.

I read it twice in school, 5th and 7th grade. I loved that it was written by a teenager for teenagers. It taught me that everyone struggles, everyone is fighting something, and outside appearances are nearly always deceiving. Some of the toughest looking people out there are the most sensitive and kind.

I don’t think I would have been as open minded about different ‘cliques’ as a teen if I hadn’t read it, and that translated into being more accepting of people from all walks of life as I became an adult.

I also loved To Kill a Mockingbird, and I mention it because I took away a lot of the same lessons as well as a stronger sense of justice and integrity through the story.

‘Hold me close, young Tony Danza’ - me at 9.

Dude targeting and arresting like 10 people in black isn’t going to stop the rest of us from hating you and your administration, and holding you all to account as soon as it is possible.

Absofuckinglutely. If you can’t think on your own, someone else will do it for you.

Guaranteed the same men who wouldn’t lift a finger to help care for a forced-birth child, and certainly wouldn’t vote to ease the financial burden of those forced to raise a child they can’t care for.

Also the same men who wonder why they have a much harder time getting laid these days.

I’ve heard this excuse before and countered effectively with drive-through weddings and the national divorce rate.

Just get a different faucet, that sink is criminally small but would be more expensive to replace.

My theory: Someone purchased the sink and faucet separately likely at a discount, and either ignored the issue or wasn’t informed after install.
