Someone pointed out that only guys who've never had even 1 girlfriend in their entire life would say something like this. Partnered guys would have seen what their girlfriend looks like after a shower, waking up in the morning, post-workout, etc. and realized they don't wear make-up 100% of the time

I 100% agree racism is the whole story here. If he were a white middle aged professor accused of plagiarism it would have never made news headlines. He would have just been one of thousands of other white guys investigated for the exact same thing whose names no one ever knows because it's so common

In college I would put mashed potatoes on my pizza and top it with peas, carrots, and corn. It tasted like loaded mashed potatoes because of the cheese from the pizza. It sounds weird but I promise you it's delicious.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

I asked it how big a turkey I needed for Thanksgiving if my entire extended family came, and it told me to buy an 80 lb. one. Those don't exist. It said each person would eat 3 pounds of turkey. It got confused because people tend to eat 2-3 pounds of food *total* at buffet style meals.

I was raised as Christian pronatalist. The movement is white supremacist.
(RNS) — Yesterday's Quiverfull movement has been rebranded as today's pronatalist movement, and they're both rooted in the same white Christian patriarchal fears.

A salad from Sweet Tomatoes. It's one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten in my entire life, the dressing was so perfect. The restaurant chain shut down and I developed multiple food allergies so I can't even attempt a dupe recipe at home.

I agree completely. Everyone who cares for elderly relatives has seen this. Even ones who stay mentally sharp and physically healthy into their 80s and 90s just don't have the stamina they used to. They're far past their peak and it's all downhill from there. 80 years is a very reasonable age limit.

Zohran Mamdani appears to have went 3 for 3 today where his endorsed candidates all won their primary nominations. Here is the harsh truth, more progressive candidates are laser focused on eco-populist message that resonates and motivates people. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

I'm not in the industry but I've seen more recent data saying the percentage of adult buyers has actually increased since 2012. I'm not sure if it's because teens buy fewer books these days, though.

We need more of this in the USA… “NYC Mayor Mandani reveals a plan to allocate $122 million to hire an additional 1,000 teachers by 2027. This must be why they say socialism is so horrible. Rather than funding continuous foreign wars, tax funds are being redirected toward our educational system.”
