I've never been in one, but family brought home some of their "beaver nuggets" and I really couldn't believe how disgustingly delicious they were. Basically they are big crunchy sugary things that taste a lot like plain Capn' Crunch, but they go down by the handful way to easily.

A friend told me if you want to be really decadent you can eat them in a bowl with some milk like breakfast cereal.

They also brought me some of the fudge, but I was less impressed with that.

They’re already impossible to deny as concentration camps,

The media needs to start calling them that before it will make it into the consciousness of the vast majority of people who aren't paying as much attention as we are.

I keep waiting for the first major media outlet to have the courage to do so, but I suspect it's going to get a lot worse before I get my wish.

I was the same. "They must have had a reason..."

I used to assume police were generally trustworthy and I could believe their version of any given event. Now I believe nothing they say without supporting video evidence.

I'm kind of amazed they admitted this. Under any other president I'd have been slightly surprised they admitted it, but with Trump lackeys in charge of seemingly everything at the federal level I'm outright stunned that they admitted it.

Good points, especially this one:

To me, the fact that it happened nowhere near Iran is the bigger deal. It means that parts of the world that aren’t aligned with either side in the war now have to wonder what might explode in their own territory.

I skipped right over that but it's part of it for sure.

I just learned that five minutes ago, and it really does make it even worse.

It feels different in a few ways to me. One, it feels much more personal and "fuck you in particular." It's one thing to lob missiles at a base and fuck whoever happens to be there, but you KNOW there's a real possibility that you kill every mother effer on that ship if you hit it with a torpedo.

I'm not articulating it very well, but it's just got a different sort of cruelty that something like shelling an airbase just lacks for me.

This sinking seems like a really big deal to me, but I don't feel like it's been treated that way. Everyone seems to react like it's just another example of Trump being shitty, and it is, but also, we sank another country's warship with a torpedo. That seems pretty momentous no matter what country it was.

This is the clear solution and I can't believe it doesn't get brought up more often.

I have been getting ever more smug and feeling more vindicated about this decision every day for the past two years.

This is so true. I'm at about twenty years since I switched and Microsoft has done nothing but validate my decision over and over and over since then. I sincerely feel bad for people who still use Windows.
