You're a fucking psycho
I traveled and lived in a world beyond your world. What you despise, I love.

Ever try bamboo soup with armadillos?

How about crocodile kebab?

Rat sausage with basil?

Dancing (alive) lobsters marinated in spice?

I have pics of that and more if you want but upto you if you wanna vomit or not!

Too fucking late for SCOTUS. The die is cast and the Rubicon has been crossed. They are hoist on their own petard. The goose is cooked and the chickens can come home to roost. For wont of a nail....... and al that. SCOTUS gave license to the monsters of the Id.
DIE. The die is cast, not dye. Die in this instance is a reference to a single die, or one of a pair of dice.

Thought that someone who posts walls of textual diarrhea would certainly know what and how that expression is written and what it means.

At the rates delegates are pledging themselves to her I assume she will be described as the presumptive nominee by the middle of this week at the latest.

The convention is effectively happening right now. They might use the virtual roll call they had planned to formalize.

Hey Meg.. how're you taking it personally?

I needed time as the donors overriding my vote made me sick but I'm mostly okay with it now as I'm a 3 issue voter: Good Healthcare & LGBT rights & fuck fascism.

Lol there's going to be one idiot that throws their name in. Well at least we know it can't be Manchin or Sinema.

But what's the difference during the primaries, that an independent run for consideration?

Of course it is. We all grew up with cheap disposable plastic.

If science tells us this shit is contaminating the environment, is found in all bodies of water... and in the bodies of ALL living things....
The logical conclusion is that Democrats would be opposed to making the issue worse. We would look for solutions to solve the growing problem.
And Republicans are full throttle in favor of making it worse.
  • "Because it has always been"
  • "Because it is good for business"
  • "Because opposite position of Democrats"
    Etc.
Imagine the most degenerate process, and that is Republican defined.
Speak for yourself about the straws. I remember paper straws way back in the mists of time. They worked.

I don't care. Best thing ever since I tasted it in Thailand. I have not had a pizza without pineapple since 2011.

They even do seafood on pizza down there.. squid, octopus, manta ray but pineapple was my limit!
All my pizzas get chunks of fresh pineapple. I buy a whole one, cut off outer stuff and cut the fruit part into ~0.38 inch chunks and freeze. I make DIY pizza every weekend. The one I made Saturday was killer great. I make a sourdough crust using bread machine. 4 kinds of gourmet cheese, 3 kinds of sausage, onion, bell pepper, DIY Italian sauce from home grown vine ripened tomatoes, I kitchen-can it.

I hate the way this shit has played out. The total disrespect that Biden got really pisses me off. But it had to be done. History will treat him well if Kamala wins. I can't think of a better president in my lifetime. and that includes obama

Actually, I myself didn't know. I always figured it referenced a mold for industrial reproduction, but your explanation does make sense. Either metaphor would work, actually, for the implication intended.

The die is cast

What does the saying "the die is cast" mean?

idiom. used to say that a process or course of action has been started and that it cannot be stopped or changed. Once we signed the contract, the die was cast, and there was no turning back.

The etymology is not discussed.

A die is a specialized machine tool used in manufacturing industries to cut and/or form material to a desired shape or profile.

It seems either origin is possible.

I thought they said roll call wouldn't start before August 1 (before Joe left).

I’m terrified of Trump’s reelection, or any current Repub for that matter. And to think I voted Republican over 50 years ago.

Biden dropping out was unexpected but right.

I’d write more, but it’d end up a wall of text of paragraphs, like the one I just wiped off.

I am very disturbed by the influence evangelical Christianity has on the GOP.

I’ve always preferred the die/dice version.

But I’m crazy 🤪

Biden is the first President since Johnson who delivered on a liberal economic agenda. All the rest have been economic conservatives, much to the detriment of the country. Hopefully, Harris will continue delivering for the American people.

Like her or not it is hard to imagine a more consequential politician in my lifetime. There is a reason House Rs are insanely jealous of her.

Yep. That's why last week I said you know what I have to believe in pelosi, she is too smart to let Biden run.

And when I said she needed to go to the conspiracy Bunker in Delaware and smack some people, this is exactly what that entailed.

Let's go with the narrative that Biden is a selfless guy and even though that's completely not true after what we've seen, it's a fine narrative to have. Let's roll with it, let's beat Trump.
