- Comment on Alex Jones' Infowars to Be Shut Down, Assets Liquidated 5 days ago:
Legal Eagle did a video on this recently. He has a federal and a few state trials and a personal and business bankruptcy thing going. The families are in disagreement on how to get the money. Some want to shut the show down and don’t care about the money, and some want to go the seize assets route.
There are different federal and state cases to resolve. He also gave his parents some of his assets and he tries to sell his parents supplements now in order to work around the court order since it’s his parents making money and not him.

Oh great! So someone couldn’t pull themselves up by their bootstraps and now they want a hand-out. I bet this “toddler” doesn’t even pay taxes.

- Comment on Why not serve fried chicken on Juneteenth? How is it different from serving corned beef on St. Patrick’s day? 1 week ago:
I just meant what the food was didn’t matter. It was having a good to come together around and share in the togetherness.

I know this whole celebration of Juneteenth is new, so the foods will take some time to become official. BBQ and red food is just as good as any other made up meal, in my opinion.
I wish we focused more on black (or at least local) owned businesses for Juneteenth. Of course, holidays get commercialized like crazy, so I’m sure some businesses will pander too much and make a fool of themselves.
On a side note, I heard Japan celebrates Christmas with KFC. Apparently that’s the idea that got sold to Japan for how Americans celebrate Christmas. I wouldn’t be surprised if some countries think Americans eat burgers and fries for Thanksgiving.

I mean I get that. I just don’t personally see it as that. I do eat fried chicken and watermelon (and other soul food like greens, sweet potatoes, etc). I don’t eat them as much as I want because the places around me don’t make good soul food anymore. The quality is down in my opinion.
I mentioned the day because all holiday celebrations include food. I also mentioned in my opinion, that everyone loves that type of food. I just didn’t think of it as “black food” but I know it is stereotypically a trope. I think this understanding of other people’s racist tropes and my love of celebrating with loved ones and good food is where I (and assuming OP) is coming from.
Is the main issue the intent? If you eat corned beef for St Paddy’s or carne asada for Cinco de Mayo is that an issue? If we ask black people what we should eat for Black History Month or Juneteenth and they agreed that soul food is good then is it okay? Should we just stick to burgers and dogs like it’s the 4th of July?
I feel we can never really have these conversations (IRL) because people assume what the other person means when they are trying to understand the reason behind it.
All that to say, we have to be extra vigilant because racists are everywhere pushing their agenda, so I understand that this trope could be insulting to some. I’ve also met black people that don’t give it a second thought because the food is good and they were hungry.

This question reminds me of when that school in NY got in trouble for serving “stereotype food” for black history month.
www.cnn.com/2023/02/06/us/…/index.html
I have the same confusion as you do, OP. It appears to be a liked dish by all accounts across many races, upbringings, or religions. Unless you have dietary restrictions like Vegan or something.
I’m assuming this is one of the things that racists ruined. Like yeah people like fried chicken, but racist made it a “bad thing.” It’s kind of like now, you got to look out for the number 88, vikings, the okay sign, the gadsden flag, or punisher flag. It’s not that mentioning fried chicken is necessary bad, but people are on edge because Nazi’s are back. 1 of the dog whistles might be a coincidence, but you start collecting them and I start side eyeing my co-workers more.
Those damn dog whistles need to end, so we can all enjoy fried chicken and watermelon on Juneteenth.
- Comment on Counterfeit Cisco gear ended up in US military bases, used in combat operations 1 month ago:
I agree and there is for certain known vital pieces that go down. The DOD has been trying to save money by lowering the on hand stock of the using unit and having most of what they need at a higher level. That higher level might be off and not able to support.
- Comment on Counterfeit Cisco gear ended up in US military bases, used in combat operations 1 month ago:
Haha. This is a good one. They used to (maybe still) not allow 3rd party sellers like eBay, but Amazon has been used for a long time. I’m not sure why one was okay but not they other. Anyway, they would take a big operational hit, if they couldn’t use Amazon.
Say a system goes down during a critical time, either training or a real mission. They need a part that they could order overnight and have it up by morning or maybe sooner if it’s on that Amazon now thing. Or they could wait and try to source it out. Hope you can contact them, depending on the time. A lot of places that make equipment for the government have business hours. Depending on contracts and everything there would be a lot to get into, but the point is buying for Amazon is sometimes the best place to get the item from in a quick manner.

I see your point. I would be guilty of that mindset that a planet full of life (not necessarily human life) is superior to a dead rock.

I’ve been into gut health lately and I was thinking what if we are the microorganisms inside a bigger beings gut? This planet is just one part of it and in order for the universe to have a healthy gut we would have to terra form the planets and make healthy worlds. (I don’t think we will actually do that. We are more likely to mine every other planet)
The universe’s gut now looks like the typical American diet gut with ultra processed foods and not enough fiber/fermented foods.

Reminds me of JTHM. He had to kill people and paint the wall in his basement with blood or else the world would end. Or his world would end. I’m not sure exactly what happened because he did go to the afterlife after that and got resurrected, if I remember correctly.

I am assuming they are adding multiple trips a day. My old bus dropped off elementary, middle, and high school. Some drivers even did after school drop offs. I doubt they mean 2600 buses moving 7 million people a day.

I know! I stopped reading in the 90s too, around AoA. I got back in when Hickman started his run.
I think sometime around maybe early to mid 2000’s Beast started showing signs of it. There was a thing with Dark Beast from AoA too, but I’m not 100% on the details.

Well let’s just say he went full on “ends justify the means” experimenting Beast and thinks it’s for the best of mutant kind even if the rest of the X-Men/mutants/Krakoa doesn’t agree.

By that logic we should call it consuming religion instead of practicing it. Not saying too much porn doesn’t change your brain, but too much religion changes it way more.
