When it’s crispy fried shrimp, yes. Any other time, no.

Yes that’s very on point for the question being asked, thanks.

Without knowing more about their usual procedures regarding what they state is the “biggest” issue reported by those they’ve polled and whether they are writing the article how they normally would I cannot agree whether they are intentionally trying to normalize anything, so we’ll have to agree to disagree.

On the one hand yes, I agree that’s the worst part, on the other hand polling is an actual data science. Legit polling organizations don’t just pull shit out of nowhere. If they say “due to the economy” they mean there is a correlation between people with a negative attitude towards Trump and people who say their biggest concern is the economy. And this makes sense because let’s be honest, most Democrats already dislike him for other reasons, so the people who are just NOW changing their opinion on him are likely to be for money reasons since that’s the current thing going on.

That’s nothing, my kid did at least 4 times that yesterday, in Terraria.

Ug, why can’t people tell new stories anymore? Everything is a reboot or a sequel. This is just the Trump story with a slightly happier ending since Bolsonaro might actually face consequences.

I’ve not often seen such a perfectly on the nose example of a slippery slope argument, so I guess thank you for that.

I know this comment is old but ACTCHUALLY if you search for the Marvel short “All Hail the King” that is where they first set up that there was a real Mandarin who was not happy about his name being taken. That came out 1 year after Iron Man 3, so the Shang Chi thing was always the plan.

I wonder what Gary Busey is up to these days.

I haven’t used a database that required me to specify case in 15 years, and I’ll be cold dead in the grave before I do it again… only because I assume that’s what they use IN HELL.

We could do name LIKE ‘%AMERICA%’ but that would grab a few extra countries. Course that faction of the political spectrum would be all in favor of “acquiring” more countries anyway.

No country dim table I’ve ever seen would just have “America” as the country name, but now I’m just being a pedantic asshole, which is my default setting.

Why have I never thought of that…

For me it was wanting to put in calories for each food item eaten in a day, the estimated calories burned in a day, then any additional burned calories from exercise, and then display the total of calories still “allowed” for that day, if that makes sense. My spreadsheet also had a whole bunch of stuff taking averages of my daily numbers so I could enter a weight goal and trend my weight loss to see when I could expect to get there, etc. it was a ludicrous spreadsheet, I admit it.

I’d love a good calorie tracker. I’m on the pedantic side and ended up using a fancy spreadsheet because none got as granular as I wanted /shrug

Well that’s certainly putting the “casual” in casual conversation.

Lighten up, Francis.

No he’s right, they actively engage aggressively with anyone who does not share their views and it’s pretty unsubtle. Ignore and block them, you can’t have honest discussions with them so why bother?

I would say it’s hard to quantify specific examples of it helping in the sense you mean, the point of it is to create more awareness of institutional prejudices that affect groups of people. Becoming aware of these prejudices is the first step towards finding ways for those institutions to provide their services more equally to people.

Buddy that response and attitude is the exact opposite of helping and reinforces every negative thing people say about critical theory.
