That was a wild amount of mental gymnastics to lick boot.

I don’t watch Kitchen Nightmares but I’m in the room from time to time when my dad watches Bar Rescue and and his whole schtick just comes across as really punchable

Venezuela is a shit show politically by any measure and no US Empire whataboutism can change that. It’s possible to call out Maduro and call out the US. Sometimes there is no good guy, just bad guys and worse guys.

When Fidel was in charge, it absolutely was a dictatorship. That his brother took over from him is a little clue to that fact. Now I’m less certain. Since the Communist party in Cuba has some actually well meaning people in it, there’s a possibility that with the old guard dead or retired they may cease being a dictatorship.

Not that I would work at a kitchen as bad as the ones on TV but having worked in restaurants, I’m surprised these kitchen nightmare type shows don’t have the host get punched by the staff periodically. Line cooks can be salty.

I’m an American and both my parents are huge and in terrible health. Lugging hundreds of extra pounds (2.2 per Kilo) is hell on your body.

When I smoked, I lived in a house that the family owned and still never did it inside

But you absolutely can refuse to follow unlawful orders and these fucks got orders to deploy against Americans and opted to go along with it. That’s treason.

I’ve heard a heard a number of very fit veterans bemoan that jumping out of the back of the truck looks cool in your 20s but your body already hurts in your 30s

They have no choice about their lawful orders. These guardsmen were ordered to deploy against America and didn’t refuse. Maybe evil is a strong term but it sure sounds like Treason to me.

The guards job “in theory” is to help old people in hurricanes. It blew my mind at the time that National Guard units could be federalized and sent overseas. Wild that that is legal on any level. The whole point of the national guard is to defend the homeland and of course assist with natural disasters. That the President could strip the Homeland of it’s defenders to fight foreign wars was bonkers to me.

Weird as in historically obesity and wealth went hand in hand and not it’s flipped.

They still traitors. They could have refused their illegal orders and opted not to. Especially after DJT’s whole speech about war against americans and the enemy at home.

I can’t think of a single reason why they shouldn’t be arrested the moment they show up in Chicage. Traitors and criminals, the lot of them.

The one time I threw up on a guys shoes, I blamed the dubious decision to eat french toast for breakfast after drinking Jose Cuervo all night and not going to bed.

It also weakens your sense of cause and effect, being drunk makes it harder to link consequences to actions. I’ve done things that really hurt people while drunk and even while still wasted instantly felt bad cause they got hurt. I definitely wanted to punch my friend for pouring booze on the floor but I definitely didn’t want to crack his rib.

True to an extent but there’s also a level of brain damage that can come with long term alcoholism (or extreme intoxication) where they lose the ability to form coherent thoughts while plastered and their drunk ramblings can be contradictory.

Definitely also want to throw up on your shoes, working up the courage now

Bangs are so damn cute though

Trans people are one of the easy out groups to vilify though that’s not exclusive to fascism
