It’s only 8am but that’s enough internet for me today




POTEAU, Okla. (AP) — According to court documents, two men in southeast Oklahoma have been charged for allegedly performing an illegal gender reassignment surgery without a license and storing the body parts in a freezer.

According to an affidavit by LeFlore County Sheriff Rodney Derryberry, Bob Lee Allen and Thomas Evans Gates lured a 28-year-old to a cabin where they removed the man’s testicles and tried to get him to participate in cannibalism.
 
Also, if you're buying your spices in a supermarket for wypipo it won't work as well. Even if you follow the recipe exactly. Gotta get the stuff from the indian market. The cash only place that rents out bollywood movies. That one.

Oh yeah man, I know spice quality is #1 most important.

I got a good place. (The swastikas are a sure sign of quality.)

As someone who was born there, I always struggle to describe New Orleans to people who haven't lived there. It's just got such a unique style all to it's own. Perhaps it's just because, by American standards, it's one of our older cities. But you also consider the cultures that held sway for such long periods. Occupations and governance by the French for over 100 years. Occupation and governance by the Spanish. Then you consider other cultural milestones. Being a significant stop on the slave trade giving New Orleans a unique demographic, albeit, originating from terrible circumstances. The first free neighborhood of color in America. Our role in the Battle of 1812. Largest percentage of Sicilian immigrants until N.Y. passed us in the early 20th century.

So many different cultures left their mark on the city. And to risk a stupid gumbo analogy that Louisianians love to use, those flavors marinated into something special. You have this relatively small city (geographically speaking), but have so many distinct neighborhoods. The Marigny with it's history of live music, the birthplace of jazz and a center for zydeco. The Irish Channel and across the river in Algiers, you have the fishermen and the maritime communities, which are a lifeblood for the local economy. The French Quarter as one of the largest historically protected sites in the U.S.

That's not to say that New Orleans is without it's problems. But even with them, there's still no city like it in America

Oh brother, you said it so beautifully. Ain't no place like this and ain't that grand? It's so sad now, the music is gone. How odd to miss the city you live in. Being a Quarter Rat ain't what it once was my friend.
 
I hate people who are neutral/devils advocate simply for the sake of being neutral or devils advocate. I blame the internet for this.

The whole point of that is to make better decisions and create perspective, not to just sit on the fence for everything.

I think you cannot generalize this.

On the one hand, people like it when you hold a strong position.

On the other hand, other people like it when you weigh both sides equally

*shrugs*

it's a tough one, to be sure.

It also seems kind of hard to miss that the point was, for centuries, to prop up a strawman to create a religious illusion of critical thinking, and that it's still used almost exclusively to delay a foregone conclusion. This is even worse than generic "both sides" rhetoric.

It's rare that I think the "LOL liberals" tweets from the Trumpists here are worth anything...but fucking yikes. The fact that she's a "Corporate Attorney & Investment Advisor" makes me much more comfortable laughing at her being dumb.


She's also a state rep in Georgia, which is worse. And doubling down on it.
