I’m not sure. Realizing I had no idea how much wealth the truly wealthy possess has been a reoccurring theme from the past few years. I think I’d rather see some hard limitations on who can own what.

Going by her own example, they don’t seem to be very effective at preventing unchristlike behavior.

Dunno if it changes anything, but user224 posted this link elsewhere in this discussion, and it says the pipe was 30cm (almost a foot) in diameter – I’m no expert, but the photos in this and OP’s article seem to show an opening about that size to me. I only mention it because that seemed uncommonly large to me.

You can say that again. Growing up in Florida, I’ve been in a lot of swimming pools and water parks, and I have never seen anything like what is shown in the video attached to this article. That opening is huge. user224’s link says the pipe is 30cm (almost a foot) in diameter. Even in giant public pools I’ve been in, I can’t recall seeing an opening or fixture that size. That, coupled with a lack of any cover on it, seems so obviously dangerous. God, what an awful way to go.

The agreement will allow Disney to build a fifth theme park—possibly a water park—in the state on the condition the monolith donates just 100 of its expansive 24,000 acres to infrastructure projects controlled by the state. Disney will also need to hire Florida-based construction companies for “at least half” of its projects, as well as make a generous $10 million dollar donation to affordable housing in the area.

That last bit is particularly interesting, wonder how that will work.

Yeesh. I read the updated report linked in this article and still didn’t see any mention of where the officer went after he ran over this woman. I’m wondering why it was up to bystanders to try and lift this truck off of her, instead of, ya know, the police officer moving his vehicle just a few more inches one way or the other. Not that it would have saved her, I guess. :/

Graphic designer here, my guess would be a Photoshop job. I’m mostly going by the visual qualities of the edge of the thumb, comparing where it appears over the graphic, versus where it appears over the rest of the hand. There’s a slight but discernible difference in the sharpness, that usually indicates masking.

I did a reverse image search with TinEye, and found a “Colgate Whitening Dogs” version of the same original photo, which supports the Photoshop theory (at least in one of the two images): https://i.imgur.com/IB6rn9E.jpeg . That makes me think the original photo was of a pack of hotdogs where the label was blank / white – That’d let you distort the fake label graphic to roughly match the size and placement of where the real label art would go, and preserve the shadows, highlights and reflections of the packaging using layer styles.

EDIT: Also, here’s the Insta account for the originator of both of these images, Adam Padilla / adam.the.creator: https://www.instagram.com/adam.the.creator

Just another Monday for me by now… Have had to put so many once-beloved channels out to pasture. I really love YouTube for what it was (and still mostly is), making entertainment content something more personal than traditional TV… but it’s changing. And change isn’t inherently bad.

I will say that I’m having a harder time nowadays finding new content on YT that measures up. Just started a trial for Curiosity Stream today, and there are other platforms, too.

Me: Mom, let’s get Kulkorv!

Mom: No, we already have Kulkorv at home

Kulkorv at home: Just some fucking regular hotdogs chopped into bite-sized pieces

Huh, I just assumed it was from rolling in feces

Just talk seriously about definitely wrong content

I feel like that’s what a lot of social media already is.

True, but meat-based hot dogs are typically fully cooked and so only need to be warmed, too… Grilling is just kind of a fun activity for me, and it adds a little snap and smoky flavor that you can’t get by boiling them. That said, grilled veggie dogs were a little different, but still pretty good!

They’re from “Morning Star Farms,” though I was careful to only say that they taste right, haha – They don’t plump up when cooked, and are prone to scorching in spots on the grill. But the flavor is spot on!

Same here. I tried out blackbean burgers, plant-based hot dogs, tofu and almond milk in my last couple of grocery runs, just to see what’s up. Turns out I really like tofu as a substitute for ground beef, and the veggie dogs tasted just like all beef franks to me. And none of these things were any more expensive than meat, so that’s also a big plus.

You’ll still go to jail, but the president says he personally feels like you don’t deserve to.

assuming they could get it to stay in place to begin with.

Perhaps the mouthpiece would serve as a “flared base,” as it were.

No rea$on at all, except for that one little rea$on that we alway$ $eem to keep coming back to…

About ten years ago now, a new sports bar/grill opened in my neighborhood, and they had tons of brand new smart TVs all on the same unsecured wifi network. Tunak Tunak Tun was the first classic Internet video we played for the people there that evening.

Even worse! “Repent, now that I have already attempted to blow you up.”

You’re trying, and that’s more than anyone could have asked for. To love is to mourn. It’s hard to open up a part of yourself, knowing it could hurt you later, but you’re doing it, and no matter what happens, you’ve made a difference. Good luck.
