[Unagi]

It doesn't help that he did MMA and it's sort of branding.

As long as people don't know about his gender affirming care

[Alefroth]

That would have been really funny if the other guy brought a riser too, if he isn't using one.

[Blackhawk]

Markwayne? Were his parents unable to decide between Mark or Wayne? Did they leave out a space when filling out the birth certificate?

Edit: Huh. Both, apparently...

His first name is a tribute to two of his paternal uncles, Mark and Wayne; his mother put both names on his birth certificate, intending to later shorten his name to one of the two, but ultimately never did.

Shorten it to what? Wank?

[GreenGoo]

I mean his fund-raising page above doesn't shut up about fighting

It doesn't help that he did MMA and it's sort of branding.

He's the reason people carry guns, the great equalizer.

[Punisher]

Every time I think the United States can't go any lower it does. People must marvel at how the world's richest nation is turning into Idiocracy 400 years ahead of schedule.

So what you're saying is that wd are progressive?

[Carpet_pissr]

The greatest deliberative body in the world

Said no one, ever in the past 100 years, except for Senators (and John Roberts).

I'm begging the board to please retire this utterly ridiculous phrase.

I'm offering to pay* hard cash for non-use (* must prove prior intent to use, then restraint, to receive cash prize, offer not valid in RI, DE, NJ, NY, OH, CA, NV, TN, TX, VA, OR, FL, NM, MS, LA, PA, or CT)

[Skinypupy]

The stupid...IT BURNS!!

[Alefroth]

My god, she is just profoundly dumb and arrogant.

[Daehawk]

Hard to believe her and people like her are elected to the United States Congress. Nothing but wrenches in gears.

[YellowKing]

I'm continuously amazed how civil other people are when dealing with these morons during hearings and such. They have way more patience than I have.

[GreenGoo]

Yeah. Someone should challenge her to a fight. (because that seems to be appropriate now).

[Blackhawk]

Sometimes the quiet, polite response can be far more devastating than an angry response. His comebacks were brilliant. Simple, concise answers that completely destroyed her points and credibility in a just a few words.

I use 'credibility' loosely.

It's almost like he's got a background that involves interrogation and testifying.

[Smoove_B]

Saw someone online yesterday suggest that we've elected the comment section of Youtube to Congress and I can't stop thinking about it.

[Unagi]

Saw someone online yesterday suggest that we've elected the comment section of Youtube to Congress and I can't stop thinking about it.

Yeah. Damn. That's way too spot-on.

Also, the sad realization that "we" (the greater, uglier, royal we) are the comment section of Youtube, so perhaps it's just accurate representation.

You have to remember, there's a very real chance a GOP member will bite your dick off if you argue with them.

This is our concern, Dude.

[Victoria Raverna]

This is crazy:

[malchior]

The comments on that video are like looking to the mouth of O in Torment except instead of WIS+1 you end up with WIS-3. It's hard to know how many of these idiots are out there but it feels like a problem.

[malchior]

Jeez. This guy is a Senator. Standards have declined greatly. The comment doesn't capture how...uneducated this buffoon is on the topic. He goes on to say the Palestinians chose to live under Hamas and could have gone to live in Israel if they wanted. Wow.

[Victoria Raverna]

Palestinians are banned from leaving Gaza via Israel, including for passage to the West Bank, unless they obtained an Israeli-issued exit permit.

Only those belonging to certain categories, primarily traders (de facto daily laborers), patients and their accompaniers, and aid workers, can apply for such a permit.

Other people are not eligible for a permit even if, according to the Israeli authorities, they do not pose a security risk, according to the Israeli authorities.

In most cases, the Israeli authorities do not provide specific reasons for the rejection of an application.

If an application is approved, the permit holder may travel through the Israeli-controlled Erez crossing, which operates during the daytime, from Sunday to Thursday, and on Fridays, for urgent cases and foreign nationals only.

[TheMix]

Pretty sure that is all well-known around these parts. Hence malchior's comments regarding the tweet.

Yes. But in case there is still anyone left that doesn't know. It is not a big effort on my part to provide link and quote.

Okay. Fair enough. But so you are aware, it came off, to me, as a rebuke of malchior. A simple "Wow that senator is clueless. In case anyone isn't aware..." would have made it clear what your intentions were.

[Jaymann]

I just took it as Unagi-esque mansplaining.

Well, I didn't know but to be fair I won't remember this either.

Maybe he and Hamas should take it outside.

FWIW I didn't take it that way.

Maybe put just a pinch more effort into it.
I'm trying to be helpful with this advice, I think it will spare you at least a little grief you get...

and, if you (anyone) don't wanna read it, I'll just put it in spoilers, so as not to offend anyone by saying something.

Spoiler:

Something I think would help when you share a link and then quote a part of it... Make it clear that the words that you are quoting are from the quoted article.

I think it reads more like you are sharing a link and the part you want people to read if you had made it more like:

https://reliefweb.int/report/occupied-p ... nuary-2022

"Palestinians are banned from leaving Gaza via Israel, including for passage to the West Bank, unless they obtained an Israeli-issued exit permit.
Only those belonging to certain categories, primarily traders (de facto daily laborers), patients and their accompaniers, and aid workers, can apply for such a permit.

The way you 'quote' articles, is you just cut-n-paste them into a post and send it, and it's not always very clear who's words you are sharing.

[Punisher]

I think unagi makes sense because I did think they were uour own words and not a direct quote.
I didn't have a problem with the post either way but can see how it can get confusing.

I'm not sure when but I remembered there was a problem when using quote BBCode when people are quoting a message to reply to it in the past. The quote part is being removed because the forum think that was a quote of something that previous poster posted instead what the current poster wrote.

That caused me to avoid using it but looking at how OO works now when you're quoting someone, that doesn't seem to make sense.

Either my memory is messed up or OO used to work that way but not anymore. Or maybe it was other forum where they don't have nested quotes like this forum.

[Blackhawk]

I don't think the basic quote functionality has changed much on our version since we launched the site. The only thing that I think has changed is the addition of linking to the original post with date/time. We've always had our quotes nesting into infinity. We even had some threads making fun of it long, long ago.

Interesting take on tiktok and young people. Is tiktok brainwashing young people to be anti-Israel or tiktok just show that young people are more anti-Israel.

Let's check back with these folks on Friday

Today, we signed legislation that allows the sale of raw milk within the City's jurisdiction. This will help local vendors sell dairy products at our farmers' markets and stores, and make a big difference for folks who benefit from its nutritional elements.

Enjoy your freedom, residents of Albuquerque

(add Bugs Bunny picture here)

[Max Peck]

They're not wrong about the potential for it to make a big difference to folks' health.

[Punisher]

Correct me if im wring, but i th8nk we discussed this here before and the general consensus was that raw milk is actually bad for you right?

It's good for your gut bacteria.

In the sense that they get the opportunity to spend way more time outside of your body.

It's a unique cross over of hippies and farmers. Kind of like organic purists.
