I feel your pain, and I'm concerned about someone who works at a bakery not knowing where ingredients came from.

I'm not even vegetarian but I worked at a vegan/vegetarian restaurant where random people would come in to complain we didn't have any meat on the menu. Like legit walk up to the host stand, pick up a menu, shout "Is there any meat?" and leave in a huff when we tell them no.

Their loss. I made a kick ass curry and put black bean burgers on the menu.

One day, chilling behind the counter at my liquor store job, two middle aged guys walked in all wobbly and flushed. Placed two 'light' tall cans by the till and had a short but cute fight over who was paying. Umprompted, told me all about how they started going to crossfit together and how great crossfit is and on Sundays they treat themselves to a couple beers to go with the high protein lunch they make together.

I saw them often after that, they were straight as hell, and the loveliest damn boys I'd ever seen. I loved hearing about how much fun they had at crossfit.

I found a lead. Could help explain why pandas got so famous in China so recently. Taipei Times isn't a great source but it's late and I got excited. https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2009/02/08/2003435562

My issue wasn't with the claim, it was with the supporting evidence. Raw Story doesn't have a great fact checking record, and I couldn't find anything to support the number of maga accounts that turned out to be foreign.

Not saying I don't believe it, just saying I'm skeptical until I see credible data.

To quote what I just wrote:

Not to say astroturfing isn’t happening, there’s foreign interference for sure and some of those screenshots are probably legit.

Where can I find out how many maga accounts were from those three countries?

Mashable said it's because users were reporting innacuracies for their own locations, and Raw Story doesn't have any metrics to support their claim... as usual. I couldn't find anything on the number of maga accounts from other countries.

Not to say astroturfing isn't happening, there's foreign interference for sure and some of those screenshots are probably legit. It's just more likely that Xitter's broken and their new feature didn't work.

Looks like someone asked Grok and archived it for posterity. https://archive.is/kM8aq

We can get around the sex thing by having a bff who "secretly" doses you with birth control. You just have to hint and wink and suggest and hope they get the message.

If you get pregnant, they weren't your real friend in the first place.

I don't know the equivalent for guys. A friend who waits in your bathroom and tackles you with a condom when you're about to bang?

*don't do this with more than one bff!

He lives under capitalism just like the rest of us. How do you think people make money?

Let's say we had quotas for different types of people to bring in, how would you differentiate those types?

Age? Skillset? Personality test?

Balance of what? We're not M&Ms.
