Remember when the Dancing Baby was on Ally McBeal? Pepperidge Farms remembers

Edit to add a link to David Hasselhoff’s 1997 cover of Blue Swede’s cover of BJ Thomas’s “Hooked on a Feeling”

since they’re billed as ‘acrobats’, I assumed skill was involved

How do you think they got up there?

This whole situation is just embarrassing and scary, as is the entire Trump presidency, but I’d like to point out that the US exports a fuckton of goods and services around the world. At least, the US used to export a fuckton of goods and services around the world.

Atheist. Religion is an explanation of the world that’s made the fuck up. I think people make shit up to explain reality because accepting uncertainty is difficult, but that doesn’t make it ok. The world around you exists, just like it is. There is no special place you get to go if you follow the right set of rules .

To your point, I think the political will to defend Greenland will definitely be there from the overwhelming majority of other NATO states.

I’m trying not to throw shade on OP directly here, but wtf is with everyone describing food as “smashed?” Literally everything that’s “smashed” had a previously existing, cromulent descriptor. I guess instead of refried beans, I’m going to start calling them smashed beans. Mashed potatoes? Smashed potatoes! Hamburger? Smashed burger!

OP, that lentil quesadilla looks delicious either way

I just couldn’t disagree more. Finland doesn’t have to actually do anything different. Telling Trump how great he is in private can get him off your back entirely, because he’s a narcissist. All he cares about is whether or not someone likes him. There’s absolutely nothing about this meeting that “just confirms Finland won’t be a major obstacle to his plan and/or Finland will just go along with it.”

It’s no secret that Trump is easy to manipulate with flattery. Surprised every leader in the world isn’t doing this. You can hate the guy’s guts, but give him a smile and a compliment and you can bend him to your will

Evolution as a theory predates our understanding of genetics by many decades. Even before we were able to sequence genes, we were using morphology and a variety of other factors to determine relationships between living organisms.

Well, along came genetics. We discovered that neutral mutations in DNA tend to happen at consistent rates, which meant we could compare DNA of two organism to see how similar they were, and could even use their differences to estimate how long ago they had a common ancestor.

How can you “confirm evolution is real?” Sequence the genes of many organisms and compare them. Build your very own tree of life.

You just want to log in to your 401k account and take control of where your investments go. You always want to be invested in funds with low expense ratios, like index funds, but you can also pick funds that are invested outside the US. Most of my 403b now is in index funds or low expense ratio funds invested in Europe, Asia, and emerging markets. I just have a bad feeling about the US market for the foreseeable future for some reason

Louisiana’s government is an abject disaster. Really only Mississippi can come close to challenging them for last place. Party alignment has little to do with it, Republican or Democrat, Louisiana’s government has been fucked for decades and it shows in their infrastructure and (lack of) public services.

Alright smart guy, now explain the Catatumbo lightning

That’s for regular movies, they have lots of special events with different rules. But if you use your phone during a regular movie, Ann Richards is going to pump your guts full of lead

Minus any Twitch involvement, there have been events at Alamo Drafthouse like this for years

Uhh…climate change denial predates widespread internet adoption by quite a bit
