He’s not pretending.

It was enough of a Nazi salute for the head of France’s far-right party, who are Nazis, to cancel his planned speech.

I don’t think that’s fair. Plenty of people in this world do not know much about computers or the internet or anything in that area and just need a printer. So they go to their local big box store and there’s the HP printers and they’re a good deal, so they buy them.

Consumers do not get what they deserve when companies treat them like shit just because they don’t have certain knowledge.

He has almost no filter and I think if he was a secret KGB operative, that would not be a secret by now because it would have just come out at random at some point.

He’s extremely malleable, loves rich people and authoritarians, and will agree with almost anyone who kisses his ass. So it’s pretty easy for Putin to just wrap him around his little finger.

There is no difference in that sense. That doesn’t mean the truth is fungible.

Dahl was a great author but wasn’t a very pc person , his family have had to apologise for his anti semitism.

That is putting it very mildly.

"There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it’s a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews. I mean, there’s always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere. Even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason.”

He said that in *checks notes* 1971.

Worse, it was in response to criticism to an article he wrote that was justifiably criticizing Israel at a time when it wasn’t so popular to do so. And when he was accused of the old “you’re anti-Israel, so you’re anti-semitic” nonsense, he decided to go, “hell yeah I am!”

Hagrid was played by human actor Robbie Coltrane. You can tell because he looks and sounds exactly like Robbie Coltrane.

(The late Mr. Coltrane was apparently a dick… so I guess being cast in Cracker was apt.)

If you want ceiling tits, you better pull yourself up by your ceiling bootstraps.

Sorry. Can’t pay attention to this thread. Too busy typing 5318008 into my calculator.

The contractor?

Hey, they call those rice paper things in Japan walls too, so…

Hey, it’s the door of our bathroom!

The less-funny, more realistic counterpoint to this:

I was just finishing up my shift by having sex with a prostitute when I got a call about an opportunity for overtime. A no-knock raid was going down across town.
“You’re trying to have your salary spike this year to game the pension system, right?” my buddy told me. “Well, we’re raiding a house where an informant says there’s marijuana, and it’s going to be awesome—we’ve got a $283,000 military-grade armored SWAT truck and the kind of flash grenades that literally scared that one guy to death.”

I have no real comment on the aggressiveness of pitbulls. I have a dog we think is a dalmatian/pitbull mix and she’s terrified of pretty much any humans other than us and a handful of others (she is especially afraid of men), which might look like aggression from a distance, but she would run away the second they got closer to her.

On the other hand, she’s a serial killer of small animals and she recently got in a fight with our other dog (she’s 11 and grumpy and in pain from bad arthritis) and tore his ear. So she certainly can be aggressive.

On the other other hand, we used to have a roommate with a purebred dalmation and she was super aggressive.

So is the aggression she does show because of the pitbull part of the mix? The dalmatian part? Is it just her? I have no idea.

I do know I found a dog at the shelter who needed a loving home and I gave it to her. Which is the only way anyone should get a dog at this point.

Farmer’s market farmers generally aren’t from giant corporate farms.

They can have a white supremacy issue though.

The WSB campaign to save it made no sense to me. So many better companies have gone under.

I wouldn’t call him a celebrity at this point. And I don’t know that being a professional athlete automatically makes one a celebrity either. There are plenty of pro athletes that can walk down the street unrecognized. Just because you’re in the NFL doesn’t mean everyone knows you.

That is a very poor argument. Non-profit organizations lie about their statistics and their so-called facts all the time.

PETA is non-profit. Autism Speaks is non-profit. Anti-vax groups are non-profit. All sorts of groups dedicated to promoting authoritarian regimes are non-profit. And they all push a lot of bullshit that they claim to be facts and statistics.

Dogs should stop being bred for certain features period. Beyond aggressiveness, it’s just cruel. It gives them years of health problems. Some of the breeds all have the exact same health problem (sometimes it’s an inability to breathe properly because of their head shape).

Purebred dogs should be illegal to intentionally breed.

Do you think those people who feel the need to have a certain type of dog to look tough might also treat that dog a certain way to make it aggressive?
