This is pretty trivial, but the degree of triviality may indicate something. Husband and I went on a rare night out (rare because two entrees, two drinks and one dessert ended up coming to $110 at a very mid-market local non-chain place).

I wanted a cocktail, but was open to trying something new. The featured cocktails on the menu all listed "Sprite" as an ingredient. I demurred and went with a draft cider (probably also supplied by some kind of cousin-of-"Sprite" company).

Who, what, when, where, why did "Sprite" ever become a main ingredient in cocktails. THIS IS NOT ORGANIC. I'm 63 and have never seen this before.

I don't know to what extent the owners are complicit in touting this, but I made a point to say, "I'm really not interested in stuff with Sprite in it".

Anyone selling real drinks could employ seltzer, lime/lemon, simple syrup (with cane sugar, not HFCS) without resorting to "Sprite". "Sprite" brings nothing to the table.

Note that's the only thing he cares to highlight about the platform: not that it's more free, but how much of a voice it is for Israel.

Not how it might empower Americans, or Republicans, or Libertarians, or Independents, or facilitate political dialogue in general.. just how much power there is for some creepy bullying foreign country.

Might as well have said "a lot of power for China in TS"!

I listen to a podcast called "Disgraceland", about musicians behaving badly. Last week I heard the Sam Cooke episode: Cooke ending up being "owned" by jewish producers and promoters in the same pattern we see continuing today.

Allen Klein's heirs now live off the proceeds of Sam Cooke's recordings (Klein is more famous for screwing with The Beatles), while Sam died under questionable circumstances soon after (it seems) attempts to legally liberate himself as an artist.

Of course, the podcast host never makes the distinction, treading the well-worn path of Cooke as victim of "whites".

So "they" are less recognizable among men.

They invented the word "chutzpah" for this particular behavior.

they don't say how he "ruled it out".

I would say cash these out NOW. As money gets tighter and tighter these superfluous things will decline in value.

Interesting that he doesn't even acknowledge all the ads funneled to him during this episode are "Venus Williams"!! Clearly a financial guru, she.

Only 2% fewer responses, so it doesn't quite seem like the KKK is at the door yet.

Jack Maxey calls the person he's texting "Vincent", not "Hunter".

QEEER?

Can they filter out the lipid nanoparticles?

The fact that Michael Ledeen co-authored Flynn's book is very sketchy to me. Ledeen is an extremely powerful figure... as powerful as he is unknown: a total Zionist burrowed into the USG / Deep State (as is now his daughter at the Pentagon). He supports all the "third temple" Israeli hegemon end-times stuff and was the architect of the fake Iraq-war-inducing Niger uranium forgeries. The neo-cons' neo-con.

Wouldn't that be incredibly dangerous depending on the context?

Sadly, there a lot of memes that would be more effective if the author would only run them through a grammar/spell-checker, or run it by other frens before posting.

Who is going to opt for the "two bottoms" burger with no sesame seeds?

This will spawn a "bottom-phobic" narrative...

Robert Malone the bioweapons/intel/pro-vacx guy? THAT Robert Malone?

That explains why they all have the identical blah menus. I always wondered about that. I often joked, "it's like they come here and someone sets them up with the generic restaurant package."

There are a couple of exceptional Szechuan restaurants of which I'm a fan, though.

That may have been Greenland. At least that's my memory of it.

It was that they hated Trump because he supposedly bragged to some other guy or guys that —because he was rich— women would theoretically let him grab their pussies, speaking crudely but figuratively.

So they all decided to identify as pussies that Trump wasn't supposed to grab... or something... (which seems rather sexist!)

What about the assholes that Trump shouldn't screw? Maybe we should knit brown beanies for men to wear in protest.

I'm sorry to admit I knit one of these hats for a friend who couldn't knit and couldn't be bothered to learn. I was being indulgent... didn't think it was such a big deal at the time, more of a funny performance-art piece. In hindsight, maybe displaying that I was competent in a way she wasn't overrode the political aspect?

When I come across poor grammar, I have to say I am inclined to think poorly of the message.

I can't help it. It's bigger than me.

In this context, "nothing".

Nothing more beyond...

I don't know about drinking, because I haven't crossed that bridge, but with cigarettes, I just stopped buying them and went cold turkey, You can't consume what you don't buy ahead of time.
