Someone found her original photoshoot in a Dove promo. My understanding of the explanation; it's a cake... made to look like soap... made by a company that sells soap... that smells like cake.

Also, she desperately needs some colour correcting on the lighting.
Far too universally applicable.
satire isn't dead, it's just no longer satire
Washed out green tinted lighting, yeah; it would look reasonable if she'd been left in the washed out green tinted setting as our eyes adapt, but cutting her from that and surrounding her with warm pink and not colour correcting... yeah, she's green.
And parents and police both like to conflate the two so the message is "my poor innocent child was tricked" and not "my child was a bit reckless because I thought 'just say no' was adequate info and never taught her 'know your supplier, know what it is'."
Rarely, and only where it might get them more money in the long run. More commonly, kids get handed something by a friend at a party where they're already partaking and don't check what it is closely enough.

1/2
That connection doesn't happen with trick or treating, where nobody remembers which house gave what candy to which kids without extensive investigation.

(even the "free samples at schools" is overstated as to how often and how much, I suspect, but at least it really happens.)
Very much so. "Intentionally handing out drugs on Halloween" is bunkum.

I think the myth started because someone conflate Halloween candy with drug dealers giving "free samples" at schools to curious peers... where the person who got it *knows* who to buy more from.

Are JD Vance and Speaker Mike Johnson engaged in a "Lie-Off," where they must compete to see who can tell the most shameless lies the most relentlessly? If so, it's very competitive.
*Also* a union busting exercise.

Don't underestimate how much the racism and sexism and transphobia are real and ends in themselves.

"Perfect". I can think of a lot of imperfect people who don't have Nazi tattoos and didn't work for Blackwater. It's amazing how low the standards for perfection can get.

I'd like to see a *real* redemption arc featuring genuine atonement before I give someone with that history a Senate seat.

He can say that but he's wrong.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times
Not everything, but AI, certainly. Name a product that should be kept on the market after the sheer scale of issues with AI, from legal to environmental to moral and, increasingly, psychological.

Public transit doesn't exist to make a profit, it is a public service. If you make it crappier so it doesn't meet people's needs, then charge more for it so fewer people can pay for it, *then* complain when fewer people use it, that shows a pretty fundamental lack of comprehension.

Reminder: The only 2 nations that voted AGAINST recognizing food as a human right is the United States and Israel.
It's your assumption they'll care to even attempt to fix it that most astonishes me in your attitude. They should be *pulling it off the market* until it's fixed if they cared. That they haven't is plain evidence they really don't.
Please stop trying to paint this man as a good candidate for president. You have time to find someone better.

The people who think the government should be run like a business are killing something that has a 180% ROI. THAT is how you bankrupt a casino.
