Same logic evangelical Christians use to oppress LGBTQ folks here at home, Chuck. But you knew that, which is why you don't care about that either, beyond your performative outrage to get votes.
These crusty old dirt worshipers need to go. Every last one of them.
I don't know, but it just doesn't roll off the tongue the way "cold turkey" does.
"Quitting cold turkey" - I never actually thought about this one, but apparently it's directly related to addiction (which seems kind of obvious now that I do think about it). When you quit an addiction abruptly, you sometimes get that cold goosebump skin like a cold turkey.
The Wikipedia entry on that one is a fun read. I've heard most of these possible origins before, but nobody is actually sure of the true origin of the phrase. It's kind of frustrating, but also pretty neat that we still use a phrase long after we forgot where it came from.
"Bless your heart" is such a sneaky Southern saying.
Interesting. I always thought it was because the rain was so heavy it drove all the strays to seek shelter, so people noticed a lot more cats and dogs in front of their homes. I think a grade school teacher told me that when I was a kid. I like the dead animal version better.
I lived there for a year and am moving there permanently in a couple of months. Albania is such an underrated country in so many ways. It has its problems, but man, it is a bajillion times better than living in the US.
A man should have goals.
It wasn't that 6 year old kids decision.
That's a 20% mortality rate. If vaccines had anywhere near that level of mortality risk, all the streets of every city in the world would be absolutely fucking littered with bodies. You have to be one dumb motherfucker to think this is some kind of vindication for your antivax position.
I wish I could say yes, and maybe between shit like this and Elon threatening Social Security there will be enough angry people to make a third party viable, but I'm not holding my breath on that. This country has been in love with binary choice since the beginning. Everything is black or white, good or evil, win or lose, right or wrong, us or them... You introduce any kind of nuance and people lose their fucking minds.
