I want to say Good Humor, but this is a many decade old memory of being a child. I think Mister Softee was exclusively soft serve (so ice cream cones, bowls, sandwiches, and milkshakes)

This vintage image backs me up but I think it's from even before my time.

This doesn't really exist anymore, but in the old days NYC had two kinds of ice cream trucks. Good Humor and Mister Softee. Mister Softee had soft serve. Good Humor had popsicles and ice cream bars - think Fat Frog and Bubble O' Bill. And it was a TENSION as to which truck would come that day

This is the post they're responding to btw. Note how they're choosing to say Americans are stupid and skipping right past the part where I say people in other countries low key have an obsession with what's happening in the US to the point of neglecting their own politics?

Also, I know HIPAA exists for good reason, but I wish that people like this who expressed anti vaxx sentiments would have to prove that they didn't vaxx their kids.

I'm laughing so hard at this... "high level science" ... I hope he's happy that is all I will say.

I wanted to link to her account, but she seems to have privated (a big creator recently shouted her out, so she may just want to take a beat)

I mean the Litany Against Far come on!

Of course, reciting it , means acknowledging you have fear.

Also, things don't work out well for Paul long term. He does give up power.

And his son ends up like a giant worm.

And Arrakis does end up destroyed.

Just so you don't think I'm lying (the dark blue dots take you to an entrance - NYT IIRC has three. The red dot is a second entrance. there's also an entrance on the main block the blue dots are on)

FYI this one is 109 out of pocket with zero insurance. I've only paid 10. But I'm also low risk

You would think it was the cost that stopped me, but no. It was a fear of going hypertensive after eating 24 days of licorice.

They changed the title. The title now reads, "Why Is Robert F. Kennedy Jr. So Convinced He’s Right?" with the dek:"How an outsider, once ignored by the public-health establishment, became the most powerful man in science"

But there was a lot of backlash because the original hed read
