The bitch of this world is that most any activity is pro-fossil fuel because of the way our infrastructure is built.

This isn't much of a gotcha, but it's a sad observation of the state of the globe.

Seems like cutting off your face to spite the nose but also can't trust the polls and the DNC's messaging about Israel has been dogshit so who knows.

I'm not always American when I'm entering the bathroom, sometimes I'm Russian.

That seems like a bad idea.

Just pay a real fucking person. Voting should be too important to risk the mistakes common with LLMs.

I see I wasn't up to date on my Monk lore... I blocked them fairly early on after a weird conversation.

I think this is balanced and fair. I don't think they demonstrated any supremely shitty opinions, i.e. racism, bigotry, but their presence was incredibly annoying and they didn't really participate in useful conversations and moreso used the reply box as a soapbox to say a lot of nonsense.

Moreover, I think banning until the election shows an understanding and restraint by the administration team that is commendable.

I dunno if it's trolling. It's deluded and obsessive demonstrating a lot of free time, but, like, they're passionate about it.

I mean, they have some magical thinking and logic and I don't think their actions are actually pragmatic towards their goals, but I'm fairly certain it's genuine.

Either way, this was the right move.

Edit: ehhhhhh some other comments have shown they were acting like a troll fairly consistently. Maybe this should have been done sooner.

Every American made car I've owned has been a piece of shit constantly falling apart and needing repair and maintenance. I thought that's just how cars were for a while. Then I started buying Asian and German cars and realized Americans just can't make a good car.

US politics. It all just sucks. I'd rather not live in interesting times

Best Bloody Mary I had was in NOLA and it wasn't a meat and cheese bouquet, but garnished with various pickles that actually complimented and added depth to the drink. I don't think a Bloody Mary should be a meal, if I wanted a meal, I'd order one.

I'm with you on the celery and veg, (and most anything pickled) but I don't want meat or fried things in my cocktails. But horses for courses and what not so you enjoy your bacon booze.

The chicken wings were on a skewer stuck in the drink. I think I got a picture of the monstrosity somewhere and if I can remember to look for it, I'll reply with it. It was an impressive amount of food for a cocktail order haha!

Ordered a Bloody Mary at an airport bar. Dude said "it comes with a chicken wing, you want it?" "Well, if it comes with it..."

Fucking thing was a meal. Had two big chicken wings, fried onion rings, tomato, pickle, all sorts of nonsense on a stick.

I'm all for a Bloody Mary with pickles and stuff, but, like, keep it simple. A pickle spear, some pearl onions, some spicy green beans, nothing crazy like this.

Also, bacon? C'mon get that greasy shit out of my cocktail!
