I see OP noticed how much traction and drama this post stirred up last week so they decided to try it for themselves.

Brother you haven't said anything except "both sides are the same" which makes your intentions real clear.

Yeah I'm with you, 2oz is nice big drink, if they're saying it's 24oz it needs to be at least 24oz.

Lampshade Hanging (or, more informally, "Lampshading") is the writers' trick of dealing with any element of the story that seems too dubious to take at face value, whether a very implausible plot development or a particularly blatant use of a trope, by calling attention to it and simply moving on.

I remember the last time a couple broods lined up and cicadas were everywhere. It was sometime in the 90s, maybe 95 or 96; my brother and I took some acid and went down into this national forest. I remember standing around talking and turning the headlights on for some reason and several cicadas were all over both of us. We played it off like it wasn't freaky as hell but I still remember it 20+ years later.

edit: it was 1998, Brood IV and XIX

No no, you don't understand, everything is an ADHD thing. Nobody has traits or idiosyncrasies, everything is merely a reflection of their unique psyche and not experienced by other people.

Bro I see girls with short hair wearing boots all the time and nobody bats an eye. The second a dude in a dress walks by everyone stares and whispers. There's worse things that can happen to a guy in a dress than weird looks too, and I'd wager they're more likely to happen.

But if we give billionaires one more tax cut the money really will trickle down this time!

DeSantis failed to note key details from her remarkable story: The person who tried to end Penny’s life in the womb was not a doctor or even an illegal abortion provider — it was her father. And his effort to abort his daughter with a coat hanger took place almost two decades before the Supreme Court’s seismic Roe v. Wade decision, which established a woman’s right to an abortion.

So because there was a failed "basement" abortion in 1953, that's proof that abortion should be banned completely?

These people are clearly arguing in bad faith. They've built well-funded propaganda networks to radicalize their shrinking base all while bleeding them dry and pointing to the marginalized group of the week as the real boogeyman.

It's ludicrous at this point. They're like cartoon villains.

Nope, it says "unofficial" in the article.

This fuck was an Oath Keeper himself.

The Border Patrol and Customs (in the Department of Homeland Security) is actually responsible for securing borders. States do not get to decide how their borders are enforced.

We all have to deal with illegal immigration, most of which doesn't even happen on the southern border. We manage to do it without building death traps or tricking people into getting on busses and sending them to states we don't like.

I know Texas and Abbot think they're special but they're wrong.

He's a good actor and a great leading man. He doesn't have the most range but when you need his tough-but-not-too-tough-sarcastic-everyman-who-can-take-a-punch.

Hudson Hawk is one of my favorite movies ever made.

postscript: I just realized he's actually credited as a co-writer of Hudson Hawk!
