        i can see that. breweries are having the same issue between tariffs and just overall lack of aluminum. -- nm - colin Aug 11, 16:16 1
        
        I was reading an article that along with those issues, there's a higher demand for cans as there's practically no bulk consumption any more - JD Aug 11, 16:24

- Schools being communist has been around a lot longer than QAnon. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 11, 16:34
- fight hard for at least a little bit. this is a path that can, but not always, lead to violent behavior. it's dangerous. -- nm - colin Aug 11, 16:33
- Qanon chose pedophiles as their entry point because who doesn’t hate those guys. And then it is downhill from there. -- nm - Qale Aug 11, 16:23
- "Signal boosting." As mud suggests, you're unlikely to change anyone's mind anyway -- (link*) - con_carne Aug 11, 15:59

Wait wait wait. Kamala the Ugandan Giant’s last name was Harris?!?!? -- (link) - Volnelk Aug 11, 14:55 8

- Should have been suspended for life for cheating -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 14:51 3
  - That's a valid point. Executives got suspended by MLB for a year, the players supposedly spared in a plea bargain. Was Cintron as a coach part of - JD Aug 11, 14:56 2
    - Did they have a real investigator do the work because I'm pretty sure they didn't need to give every player immunity. And Cintron was named as a big - Krusty Aug 11, 15:13 1

Donny says that 'some men are insulted' by biden's pledge to only pick a woman running mate, that boxed himself in to picking from a small group -- (link) - zeitgeist Aug 11, 14:30 13
- 51% of the population? -- nm - . Aug 11, 14:58

    - and if they do complain, they are being weird babies about it. -- nm - Reagen Aug 11, 15:10 1
      - "weird babies" is a fun way of saying "Republicans" -- nm - TWuG Aug 11, 15:14
  - "Would have been more satisfying" doesn't buy a single November vote -- nm - con_carne Aug 11, 15:01 1
    - It doesn't lose any either. -- nm - pmb Aug 11, 15:10
  - I took it not as a token but a reassurance. -- nm - Qale Aug 11, 14:51
