Sometimes asking them to explain the joke will be enough to get them feeling embarrassed. If there’s multiple guys throwing this shit around that tactic could easily backfire, though.

I think the federal government should play a really big role in preserving rights and freedoms. Preventing individual states from becoming little tyrannies is important! The feds are also useful for big interstate projects - public health, highways, climate protection. It helps prevent states from fucking each other over.
The issues that are truly local in scale do exist, but the world is shrinking. Is law enforcement local? Mostly. Economics? Kinda. It’s easy to see how our interconnectedness is leading to bigger federal scope.
There’s only a few things I can confidently say aren’t at all in the federal government’s wheelhouse. They shouldn’t be restricting our individual rights, overriding state level protections. Dictating what is a valid marriage, restricting speech, outlawing abortion or gender transition, etc. They could PROTECT those rights, but taking them away should be a state-by-state decision.
Just my opinion if we want a federation of states that preserves freedoms instead of a cluster of warring fiefdoms.
Hat pins about to come back into fashion.
Oysters got me too. I went to the ER thinking my appendix was bursting because the stomach cramps were so painful.
I still like the slippy little bastards, but I’m very cautious about where and when I order them now.
My great aunt was named Ute, I’ve never seen anyone else (in the US at least) with that name.
That was awesome, thanks for sharing!
Bigass subwoofer, blast Smack My Bitch Up, feel your soul exit your body.
Making people doubt the election’s integrity and fear potential violence for voting is probably the goal.
Me and my homies love BBBs (big beautiful burettes)
I have pet parrots, they can be put off by a change of clothing. My husband bought a hawaiian shirt and became persona non grata for a couple of hours before the birds accepted that he hadn’t been replaced with a colorful imposter.
That’s Saudi Arabia, and we let them chop up whoever they want because $$$.
I got it, even if nobody else did.
Is chronic wasting disease communicable between species? I thought prions were species-specific.
Edit: I was curious and looked it up. It’s not currently communicable to humans but that could change as the prion evolves. Avoid eating infected meat, though it probably won’t affect you, being patient zero would suck.
I love a big slimy pile of sauteed spinach with lots of garlic!
