Being forced to vote for someone that doesn’t represent you is democracy.
Im not sure why the blue conservatives are so worried about a one party government. Just work within the republican primary system and earn your incremental change!
What’s wrong, you dont trust how republicans run their primaries?

“Yes, I’m sure I typed my password correctly.”
Working in IT, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that and how many times it’s been wrong.

If you tickle a baby’s feet before they are one year old they will stutter. Told to me by my son’s girlfriend when I was holding my grandson for the first time. It wasn’t a fun fact, it was a rule that I was to obey. So for the record, he should be stuttering by now because I couldn’t resist, and they couldn’t watch me all the time. :)
I was experiencing auditory hallucinations when trying to sleep, tried to tell my mom about it. She told me the house was haunted and I was hearing the ghosts.
My father built that house when I was a baby.

A lot of things from a particular family member
This month: His buddy who’s a “mechanic” touched our car and did a bunch of “extra work” on it for a “great price”. Got it back and it sounded like they emptied the transmission fluid in the CVT. I got “it must be the drive shaft” and “don’t go down rabbit holes on the internet”
It was missing transmission fluid
All that icky transmission fluid was limiting the performance of the transmission (I’m sure). /s
5G causes Corona virus is a favourite. Most of the biblical claims but those are too obvious. Excluding religion and conspiracy theories, expensive speaker cables produce sound quality that is superior to cheap cables. Turning a phone off in an aircraft improves safety. My daughter’s teacher confidently informed me that bicycles are more dangerous than cars. That was probably the most depressing and stupid.
My stepdad once made coleslaw that smelled like burnt rubber. Me and my siblings told him that we would not eat the coleslaw, it would taste like burnt rubber. And he tried to convince us that since we had never eaten burnt rubber before in the past, that we couldn’t possibly know what burnt rubber tastes like, and therefore we should eat the coleslaw.
It turned into an hours-long argument about how you don’t have to actually eat burnt rubber in order to know what burnt rubber smells like, and that there’s no good reason for coleslaw to smell like burnt rubber.
In the end, me and my siblings won, and we did not eat the coleslaw, but I don’t understand how you can cook coleslaw… no, wait, you don’t even cook coleslaw!
I don’t know how you can prepare coleslaw so poorly as to have it smell like burnt rubber, and I don’t know how you can be so married to your burnt rubber coleslaw that you would attempt to force children to eat it, regardless of the fact that it smells like burnt fucking rubber.
I once ate some canned olives that smelled like something gasoline-adjacent. Those were the most outstandingly tasty olives I’ve ever had, by far.
Perception researcher here. So you probably are aware that if you have a stuffy nose, your food taste different.
Well. Technically what you experience when eating is a combination of smell and taste sensations.
Molecules from food in your mouth travel up your throat into nasal cavities. And of course. Can come in through the nose.
This combination perception is called “flavor”. That’s the technical term. Although this word often means “taste” in layman.
Anyway. My point is. That smell heavily influences flavor.
Which is what a lot of people think of as “taste” but taste is exclusively tongue receptors.
So your argument is sound. The experience of the smell is a strong indicator of the flavor.
I’ve never considered cooking coleslaw . . . the things I’ve been missing in my life.
Cooked cabbage can smell quite strange. And bad. Only way I think cabbage is good cooked is briefly stir fried with bacon. That’s it.
Anything else or longer and it starts to smell super bad.
Boiled in a big pot with potatoes, carrots, and a large slab of corned beef and spices for several hours.
Yeah my grandma used to make boiled chicken and cabbage. I just really hated the smell. Idk if I could like a strew. But maybe.

Idk if it’s nonsense but when Ozzy died a coworkers told me that Ozzy was an American war hero who fought in the first gulf war and help liberate the people of Iraq, and then showed me a very bad AI photo of Ozzy sitting in a tank and flying a fighter jet.
there probably was a guy named Ozzy somewhere whom that was true for
The universe was created and is controlled by a super being and when we die this being allows us to a magical place. I know it sounds utterly ridiculous, but you asked the question.

“Think about it. They drained a lot of oil in the Middle East, so there must be cool underground lakes of oil you can paddle around in down there.” -Gas station geologist
I understand that oil isn’t just sitting around in big empty voids in the rock, and that those voids are full of gravel and such, and that we’re also injecting water and such into the wells to maintain pressure, etc.
But I’d be willing to bet (a small amount, maybe like $50 tops) that out of the thousands of oil wells we’ve drilled over the years, that through some quirk of geology, some void has opened up somewhere down there with just enough liquid oil and open space that you could probably get a kayak on it and paddle around in a small circle.
I’m thinking probably more like the size of a smallish above ground swimming pool, not a decent sized lake that would actually be worth paddling around on.
Of course there’s also the issue of the pressure at that depth, and the fact that any atmosphere down there is probably gonna be natural gas and not breathable air, so you’d probably have to do it in a hard diving suit
