If you must be a number,
Choose to be a PRIME.
I think it's either "I want to make something eye catching, I will slap a foreign but recognizable name on it!"
See haagen daz or Manhattan salad. Or "I am butchering a food item I half remember from a trip". See the creation of worcestershire sauce or American gyros meat.

The curse of the character count.

They are arguing in bad faith and lying. The are running interference for the big lie that they are righteous liberators, going into cities that are warzones. They hoped they'd trigger violent riots, could us that to push their agenda.
It's backfiring now the are in damage control.

Till the masks are off, they commit to state oversight and prosecution, and they admit they were going after cities for political reasons they're just trying to spin this.

So if we call you "Chicken" then you have to tar yourself and stick feathers on.
So much "Look what you made me do!" Energy.

Rojo for chicken, Verde for pork.

And he calls them burritos when clearly they are WRAPs!
January 29, 2026 at 6:10 AM
Hmm this is reasonable and didn't end with a surprise "dear God why would you add that!"
What are you up to!
Also little Debbie Nutty Butty Creme pies ... Just saying.

I dunno cookies seem like they have a viable counter argument.
January 27, 2026 at 4:19 PM
Propaganda, they are pushing a narrative, that their opponents are scared, that they are righteous. Calling Renee Good a terrorist, claiming blue cities are war zones.
They can't stop, each lie requires the next to cover for it.

He has surrounded himself with enablers, yes-men and sycophants all in a vainglorious attempt to defeat reality itself.

No low is too low, the white house has a policy of pettiness. Well when it's not actively pursuing cruelty.

They will argue so much money is invested in it that if it fails it will crash the stock market. Basically they are holding people's pensions and 401k's hostage, it's an ugly thing.

It's capitalism in the streets, corporate socialism in the spreadsheets.

In short "We need a bailout BUT don't call it a bailout"
January 20, 2026 at 4:22 PM
Yep I got a painful feeling we are going to see this popping up as another addiction to add to the pile. Many of which get the start from loneliness and need for social interaction.
Think about how many people fall for scammers in chat already.

It's lower than a participation trophy. Begging and whining till someone gives it to him.
January 15, 2026 at 11:24 PM
Could be due to how finely ground the flour is, fell down that rabbit hole a bit back.

Threats from the man who can't fire someone to their face. Every nasty thing he does he has to have someone else do for him. Then if it goes well he takes credit, if it goes badly he pins the blame on someone else.

One more reason they may be unwilling to open it. The fear it has already been raided, no one wants to be the one who opens the vault and finds it empty.
January 15, 2026 at 9:47 PM
The reason it remains is simple, the rules existed because they fear that the government would create laws if they didn't.
In essence this is a perfect refuting of the idea that Free Markets are self regulating. Google allows this because morals would interfere with their bottom line.

The world is crazy, but let's be thankful for the wonders that are baked goods. Seriously took domesticated animals (Eggs and Dairy), plants (grains at a minimum), and a few millennium of trial and error.
Now I can walk down to the corner store to enjoy a doughnut.
January 12, 2026 at 10:43 PM
It better not be in the boiling pot!
January 12, 2026 at 9:57 PM
Not going to lie I literally went what kind of sea sponge is that? Context Kelps.
January 11, 2026 at 6:14 PM
This is why they are pathetically going after Senator Kelly. They are directly attacking the idea of accountability and rule of law.
