Yeah, it’s almost as if he’s selling access to his inner circle and giving them advance notice of policies that may affect markets. Wouldn’t that be wild?

Wow, thank you for the thoughtful and very thorough response. I would very much like for this to be the case. Also, I learned a lot.

I like this theory, too. Regardless, I’m on board for whatever stops the killing while maintaining national sovereignty, and I mean that for any and all nations. I hope things get better for the citizens of Russia, too, but I don’t think it should be at the expense of Ukraine either. I just hope the US isn’t just protecting the sale of military equipment and supplies by drawing out the war.

Fair enough, but maybe pocket some instead of downing more?

But are you also overheated?

I never understood the impatience. Try one and leave it at that for the first time. If it wasn’t enough, try two the next time, which should be at least 24 hours later, and so on and so forth. There’s nothing wrong with accidentally microdosing.

Do we think this was the classic, “create a crisis and solve it” strategy, or are we about to find out later what unreasonable demand Ukraine had to cave to for survival?

That cat’s grammar and spelling were terrible, and it was hilarious.

This is the low-hanginng fruit I came here to upvote, if not post myself had I been faster.

Plot twist: it’s tea made with the pour-over method, using extra tea leaves to keep the flavor strong. This croc is downing 200mg of caffeine in one go.

I don’t know that we should be caffeinating crocodillians.

Just because they didn’t have modern technology doesn’t mean they didn’t have any technology. They could have used Skype for videoconferencing.

I think it’s just a WWE match at this point. They’ll have a dramatic fight with some fake blows, and then go pick up their paychecks. They might even go hang out if there’s not actually any bad blood between them. They’re pretty much coworkers at this point. They might have real personal conflicts, but I doubt they’ll actually air those grievances with their customers. Too many skeletons, as others have said.

Still, that’s really cool! There’s something particularly funny about a McDonald’s in Scotland. It feels like a Taco Bell in Spain.

I have to know where this is. What resources do you require to find it?

Respectfully, I must disagree. I feel like children need a place where they can be free to unwind after their 16-hour factory shifts and maybe grab a beer.

Dystopian? The flag that waved over this?

For me, it was just a silly metaphor, but you might be onto something:

“Fasting is eating. Refusing is ordering. Salad is burger.” ~ George Orwell

“I have very vivid dreams and nightmares, and my biggest fear is of some kind of dystopian future where we’re advanced in every way except in our burgers.” ~ Bryce Dallas Howard

“Dystopian novels help people process their fears about what the future burger might look like; further, they usually show that there is always hope, even in the bleakest future burger.” ~ Lauren Oliver

“Who controls the past controls the burger. Who controls the present controls the past.” ~ George Orwell
