Can't make this (stuff) up

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Damn, you drive along the highway all the time never having a clue what's in those trucks!

I can relate to the feeling of killing them with fire though.

The Shadow Ban

The Hill: Steve King tells Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey: 'Unlock my account' | TheHill.
https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4134 ... my-account

"the congressman asserted that much of his usual Twitter traffic has disappeared over the last several days, and said that he believed the company was using an algorithm to direct users away from his content.

"About 90 percent" of King's traffic has disappeared, the congressman said,"

"King said that "if we want to keep acting under the delusion that this is a free and open platform" then Dorsey must name the Twitter officials responsible for determining the site's content policy and use of alleged "shadow bans."


Yes Steve, there are delusional shadow bans. Time to take your pills.

If it was up to me I would say that he qualifies for a full award.
Death is usually involved, but he met the criteria.

VIDEO: Woman attacks McDonald's manager over ketchup

Lettuce hope that the police ketchup with her and throw the tomato's bun in jail before she really gets in a pickle.

I've created a monster.
There's a little extra sauce in that comment, what's your beef?
Me:
Thanks for asking. I'll share this nugget of wisdom with you - it was fishy of the staff to withhold the ketchup, but chicken of Pattie to run away. I'm really cheesed about it.
Others:
I'm as American as Apple Pie and not one to fillet the truth... whoever left the back door unlocked should tender his resignation. Seems cheesy, somewhat like drive-thru justice, but folks want to have a happy meal in peace... give 'em the ketchup and shake on it.
hahahaha....good one!
At least the manager fought back and didn't act like a chicken.
most of us hope she'll fry when they do take care of her bacon......
The lady who attacked the manager was definitely a bad sesame seed. Hopefully the police will mustard up all of their forces to catch her. Things like this can really shake a person up.
Not part of my thread but I like these:
what is the official mcdonald's policy on how managers should react when asked to 'give up the ketchup?'
did she get the ketchup?
give up the catsup and back away … keep the money … just the catsup … put it in a bag … all of it …
Yeah, but did she get fries with that?

So glad this didn't happen here. Especially if the spider killer was black.

Yeah, that was a close call. I generally have no doubt about whether a spider is dead after I stomp it. I have another clever thing to do if you want to shock the neighbors......have a good leather belt ready and when you see people walking by your place, start beating the shit out of a chair or anything else that results in a nice whack sound when hit and on each blow you deliver, scream out in faux pain as if someone's being seriously whipped. This activity works good for me to settle my nerves and provide some comedy on a slow day.

I saw a story today about a new Vietnamese restaurant that's opening in Keene, NH but the city council is making them change their name.....the restaurant was going to be "Pho Keene Great" but the authorities think the name sounds like something else. :lol:
