It’s believable if it’s set in winter somewhere cold. Otherwise yeah, if it hasn’t been established that the car does that sometimes, it’s bs. And if that has been established, it’s pretty heavy-handed foreshadowing.

It sounds progressive, but the immediate and long-term effects are only regressive, so no, it’s not.

Tell me again how voting third party is the progressive thing to do…

I’m playing a lot of pinball, but that really hasn’t changed.

One major problem I never hear anyone talk about is that each of the people who want to vote third-party want to do so for very different reasons, often at political extremes. Which is why there’s no “third party” but a bunch of very different tiny parties with very different goals and no electoral pull. So even if you convince every undecided/independent/major party hater voter in the country to vote third party, their votes will never coelesce under any one party enough to make any difference. Of course it all leads back to winner-take-all and first-past-the-post, which are the real enemies of truly representative democracy.

That’s the punchline I learned too, definitely hits harder imo.

Yes

Chubby’s kind of a weirdo anyway, I’m fine with that. “Twist Again” isn’t gonna make much sense anymore, but it’s no great loss.

It’s only popular (afaik) in America as a meat substitute, not because it’s “fruit.” Vegetarians don’t care what part of the fruit it comes from as long as it’s serving its purpose, and I can’t imagine anyone being upset when they find out there’s a sweet part to it too. I guess the word “ploy” just implies, like, a conspiracy or something to me and I can’t imagine who would perpetrate something so banal. Can’t be the jackfruit producers/distributors, they could only benefit from more people knowing more about their product.

Lemon (and/or lime) makes almost everything better when utilized properly, spicy sausage with lemon ricotta for example. I bet you could make a ridiculously delicious pizza with preserved lemon too. Lime would pair well with Mexican-inspired or Asian-inspired pizzas.

I don’t think it’s a marketing ploy, it’s just not explained in great detail on the can where exactly it comes from. It’s not like anyone could possibly benefit from people not knowing what jackfruit is.

Apple and bleu cheese is one of the greatest combos known to the human palate. Would be great on a pizza with something really savory to balance.

People put American cheese on goddam apple pie for Christ’s sake, apple on a pizza sounds waaaay better.

How could selling something you naturally produce be a scam? I can see how easily you could get ripped off on the price, but in the end you’re still making money and automatically replacing the plasma lost. Even if they’re not actually using the plasma for their stated purpose, I’d still argue the donator is not the one getting scammed. I guess it really comes down to your definition of “scam”.

You’re pronk of order!

So good.

It’s not that one’s better than the other, it’s just that the idiom was originally one way (“couldn’t”), and then everyone kept saying it wrong until it sounded right, just like with “literally.” Logically, you’re argument is unsound and historically incorrect, but trying to argue against the evolution of language is futile and ultimately regressive. So you say it however you want, old idioms are lame anyway.

They’re literally stranded in space with no way home, sounds like they need rescuing to me.

Stick, great for getting stuff out of holes

My grandma called them davenports, now that’s a classy-sounding furniture fuck.
