If you accept the Biblical story of the creation of humanity, you logically must conclude that Eve was banging the ugliest dude with the worst dick game on Earth the entire time she was in the Garden.

I've seen small dogs do this to my 110 lb floof. Start talking a lot of shit until she gets close and then suddenly they're "oh hey, what's up, I'm just a little guy."

Andy Ngo was just a day or two ago saying that Talia Jane, the journalist, is a violent terrorist for recording these sorts of events, the way you would expect a journalist to do. So uh...yeah, that dude needs to be banned from entering the US.

I didn't make the rules, but if you are the last person in the group to arrive at lunch, its going to be your birthday. Especially if singing and/or a funny hat is involved.

Samhain Goldstein @goldstein.bsky.social · 21m

Its not my fault that I (or another member of the party) am genetically predisposed to having a birthday every time I go out to eat at a restaurant. Its purely a coincidence and has nothing to do with wanting free brownie ala mode.

how can it be so many people's birthday so often???

quote from @PissJugTycoon "I dated a 5'8 guy who'd taunt every jacked, 6'3 bro he met until they'd pull their fist back to beat him up, whereupon my ex would go 'heyheyheyyy c'maahn I'm a little guy, I'm just a little guyy, noo, it's also my birthday, I'm a little birthday boy' & it somehow always worked"

Idk, seems like a modern twist on a classic tale of deference to power.

I fully agree that chocolate originated in the Americas. Not sure where the difficulty is.

Samhain Goldstein @goldstein.bsky.social · 6h

But you didn't infer the article from the byline. You strawmanned.

You think fish and chips came from England?

Samhain Goldstein @goldstein.bsky.social · 7h

Like "fish and chips." Obviously potatoes and fish have been eaten together since before fish and chips.

French* chocolate.

Samhain Goldstein @goldstein.bsky.social · 7h

You Wanna be mad, go for it. But this response demonstrates you didn't read the article since it has nothing to do with that. Its about the French chocolate industry.
