      - Seriously. Ive been going through every person I can think in that movie. And the only one I think that might *not* be maga is the Maître d'. -- nm* - Jovian Aug 22, 09:06 3
        
        cameron is a hardcore bernie bro. -- nm - ☀️ mandy chem ☀️ Aug 22, 09:08 2

    - me either. -- nm - Andie Aug 22, 08:50

ST Poll. random food question. Do you salt your salads? do you put pepper on them? both? - Epiphany Aug 22, 07:57 26
- we make our own dressing, used to put a pinch of salt in, but now realize that the squirt of honey mustard has enough in it already -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 22, 13:06
- No salt, fresh ground pepper. -- nm - colin Aug 22, 08:48
- EWWW no.....most dressings already have salt in them so no need to add. -- nm - Walt_Disney Aug 22, 08:42
- no pepper, no salt, no dressing. but most people I know use at least dressing and pepper. but a lot use salt too -- nm - Turd Ferguson Aug 22, 08:40
- Pepper on a Ceasars. Otherwise neither. Rarely ever salt anything. -- nm - King Of Oklahoma Aug 22, 08:22
- That sounds insane, unless you consider cheese to be salt. -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 08:22
- Nope. Dressing is all I need. Salad is a vehicle for ranch. -- nm* - sycor Aug 22, 08:19 1

- i usually put both in the dressing, not additional. -- nm - Andie Aug 22, 08:05
- I put some pepper on almost everything I eat. And I dont put salt on anything except fried eggs. -- nm - Jovian Aug 22, 08:05
- Both (if there's no dressing), and sometimes I use garlic salt instead or regular low sodium salt -- nm* - LMS Aug 22, 08:03
- There's usually more than enough salt in the dressing. Pepper goes on basically everything for me. -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 08:02 4
  - I love a greek dressing with a bit of feta in it to add salt vs "there's extra salt in here." (greek is my favorite dressing.) -- nm - ☀️ mandy chem ☀️ Aug 22, 08:27 3
    - I've been making greek bowls a lot - rice, ground beef or turkey, tomatoes and cukes in greek vinaigrette, feta, tzatziki. so good -- nm - rollo Aug 22, 08:34 2

When Duolingo decides you're getting too many things correct and just starts messing with you.... - Baron of the Rings Aug 22, 06:55 2
- I wish Duolinguo worked for me, but everytime I try it, it feels like it's trying to give me ADHD. -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 07:06 1
  - It helped me pick up some vocab but I found the complete lack of explanation of anything frustrating. - Baron of the Rings Aug 22, 07:16
HEH - Jovian Aug 22, 06:47 1
- This is by Rex Huppke, for those wondering. -- nm - mara Aug 22, 06:54
Without reading the article, I assumed it was the other kind of bugs -- nm - prayformojo Aug 22, 06:41 24
- You and me both. I mean there's like a history -- nm - JD Aug 22, 08:23
- And I could be totally wrong here, but I'm not sure wrecking the buffet of the delegates' hotel is the best way to get your message out there. nm - Turd Ferguson Aug 22, 06:48 22
  - what would have been good protest? standing around with a sign? - colin Aug 22, 07:36 20
    - Simply by asking this question, you've lost the plot. -- nm - David Aug 22, 08:08 4
      - there is no plot - that's the beauty and messiness of a protest movement like this. everyone organizes and protests as they feel convicted to. - colin Aug 22, 08:21 3
        
        You're heading down the wrong path with this line of thinking. This is how terrorists talk. -- nm - David Aug 22, 08:29 2
        
        It is not. Damaging property isn't violence. No one is calling for assassination. -- nm - colin Aug 22, 08:34 1
        
        I pretty strongly disagree with that. It’s intimidation. I’d argue it’s extortion (if you don’t give us what we want we’re going to harm you). And - pmb Aug 22, 09:12
    - I think the question is: how do they expect this to be effective? How does it help their cause? -- nm - ty97 Aug 22, 08:05 1
      - direct action generally stops being a means to create awareness and is targeted at the people who are refusing to engage in discussion or change. - colin Aug 22, 08:10
    - When your protest potentially endangers the lives of the uninvolved, it crosses a line. -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 22, 07:50 1
      - it wasn't done in secret. nobody ate a bug. -- nm - colin Aug 22, 08:04
    - "You don't understand, everything I do is OK because I have the moral high ground." -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 07:50
    - Which begs the question "how is this specific protest going to work?" - Roger More Aug 22, 07:48 4
      - Not that I support this but a demonstration aspect could be had. "We're not going away, y'know. You don't get to move on to the next shiny bauble." -- nm - con_carne Aug 22, 07:54 3
        
        I'd see the maggot buffet as an escalation of that type of demonstration. - Roger More Aug 22, 08:02 2
        
        Agree with all of this of course -- nm - con_carne Aug 22, 08:09
        
        correct - harming property is an effective protest. do i think this was a particularly effective one? probably not, but it is an escalation and - colin Aug 22, 08:08
    - Eh, I can see it as a terrorist action. Making people afraid of their own food. -- nm* - con_carne Aug 22, 07:45
    - Well, not seriously injured: "One victim was treated and released on-scene." This isn't okay, don't normalize this behaviour in politics. -- nm - Andie Aug 22, 07:38
    - I guess I'd like to know what their end game is here? Let's throw maggots in the food of a bunch of people who have no say in any kind of American - Turd Ferguson Aug 22, 07:38
    - so I could break into a homeless shelter and shit in their food if I don't agree with what they are doing as a protest? -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Aug 22, 07:38 1
      - If your signs don't work - I guess so. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Aug 22, 07:38
  - A-ball level ratfucking -- nm - rollo Aug 22, 07:31
Tim Walz is why more politicians should not be lawyers. (nm) - Tim Aug 22, 06:33 4
- I get that this is a stab at being funny but: Obligatory Run For Something mention - con_carne Aug 22, 06:46 2
  - This org has definitely helped build a bench especially in state legislatures. -- nm - Tim Aug 22, 06:59
  - That sounds pretty good and helpful. -- nm - Krusty Aug 22, 06:52
- also that all candidates should be made to try and hold the attention of a high school assembly. -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 06:43

On the horizon of this forest path you see a group of dark-cloaked figures slowly trudging towards you, what do you do? -- nm - DM Aug 22, 06:27 5
- And that stops you from forming meaningful relationships. -- nm - David Aug 22, 07:50
- get ready to rain Hellfire on them -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Aug 22, 07:15
