What Biden SHOULD do is wrap up everything he was planning on giving to Israel for the next four years and ship it directly to Ukraine.

Can you do pink peppercorns? They’re a different kind of tree but might have the same chemical.

Otherwise, some of the most “chili” flavors come from cumin and Mexican oregano and garlic. Coriander is another, and you could add a little kick with allspice. Roasting your bell peppers whole until the skin gets partly charred will give you a faux chipotle flavor. You then discard the seeds and throw them in the blender or food processor so you aren’t eating big chunks of char. Onions of course and tomatoes (canned crushed is fine) and of course ground beef and some beans, I use a can of kidney beans, with the liquid, but use what you like. Often some corn flour or meal is added for thicker, you could crush a few chips or crumble a corn tortilla for that.

I’ve got this all out of order! Char peppers under the broiler first, take out and let cool. Saute your onions in a little olive or corn oil, add garlic and beef, get it browned, add spices, turn down the heat while you get the seeds out of the peppers and chop/puree them. Add them, the tomatoes and beans, taste and add salt, and check if you got all those haphazard spices in. (It’s not done, it needs to simmer awhile, but it’s cooked enough to be safe.) Simmer for… maybe 30 minutes? Or until you’re ready to eat it? If it seems runny, add the tortilla/chip “flour” to thicken it.

Yes I guess that’s true, and it doesn’t even help if he’d be chill about accepting a “no thanks,” because she can’t know that in advance, and so many guys aren’t. I guess there’s always the possibility of running into each other in a bar or similar situation where they could assume meeting someone might be a goal of being there. “Didn’t I meet you when we were both voting for Harris?” would be a change from the usual lines.

Seems to me that if you’re canny about your polite chitchat while standing in line, you could segue to “you wanna get a drink sometime?” after you both come out of the polling place.

Which leads me to remind the ladies, just because he was all supportive of women’s bodily autonomy in line, doesn’t mean you can be sure how he actually voted in the booth!

Prestige!

That’s a pickup truck.

(Or in some places we call them a “pick 'em up truck.”)

The Cyberwhatsis will never be a pickup vehicle because not only can’t it carry anything heavy, it also actively repels girls.

Nah you forgot his fascination with the female chromosome. It’ll be the CyberX.

Oh, thank you, OP! I’ve already been telling spam callers they’re mountebanks and charlatans, now I’m going to add hornswogglers!

Yes, because “pregnancy” has traditionally been dated from the FIRST day of the last menstrual period.

(I’d like to know more about why that tradition hasn’t been updated to fit the facts, but I’m not saying you’re wrong.)

Ovulation doesn’t occur until 2 weeks later, then there has to be both fertilization and implantation, and as you say testing positive isn’t going to happen for another 2-3 weeks, which of course is what turns a “6-week” abortion ban into a 1-week ban.

I believe you meant “raising hell” as in bringing it too the surface of Earth and recruiting Satan’s legions to fight with you, not razing hell as in cutting it down, because how would that help?

I can understand your discomfort with “do you mind” type requests. It’s fitting that the full answer would have been, “It’s fine with me, but you’re not going to like it!”

When one is asked “do you mind…?” it’s perfectly correct in both grammar and politeness to avoid a simple yes or no and phrase your answer unambiguously. But sometimes it’s more fun to lean into the ambiguity with a firm “No.”

Oh c’mon, I just had the sudden urge to say “irregardless!” and decided not to resist it for once.

You are if course right and they are wrong. But it’s possible they learned this by being yelled at by some curmudgeon who sits at home with their lights on, watching TV on Halloween but screaming at anyone who dares ask for candy. And at all the houses with kids, who welcome them, the parent is out chaperoning their little tribe. Ergo bowl. I say parent because of course they’re all divorced by the time the kids are walking.

How to teach them right? Put a sign on your gatepost, not at the door, easily seen from the street. Remember, if they’re under 3rd grade they’re still learning to read, so keep it simple:

RING BELL FOR CANDY! 🎃🍫🍭🍬👻

Once they do that, you can remind them to say Trick or Treat, and/or admire their costumes.

Baby steps.

Irregardless!

Don’t use nose tissues as toilet paper!

They’re made stronger for sneezes, not designed to “dissolve.”

They’ll gunk up your pipes !

I interpreted “I despise getting ready in the dark and getting home in the dark” as you hating both equally. As an adult, I agree I’d rather get up and drive to work in darkness to gain a little daytime after work. But I recall as a child being miserable going to school in darkness.

It’s pretty accurate, she isn’t actually eating any spaghetti, she’s just sitting there resigned, with her chin resting on her hand, staring vacantly into space, not listening to Anon.

Oh I forgot I already took out the porn

I still have

Cats, superb owls, various handicrafts, and of course all the political doom I can eat
