Iodized. Containing iodine.

Unless you're a demon trying to get people to wander endlessly through supermarkets looking for "ionized" salt so you can eat their souls while they're distracted, in which case, carry on.

Also, iodized salt wasn't even a thing until the 1920s, when iodine started getting added to salt to help fight goiters in the same way fluoride gets added to water to help keep teeth clean. All the weird occultist practices that talk about salt being able to keep out demons generally tie back to ancient ideas about salt being somehow pure for its ability to be used as a preservative.

This went viral on Chinese social media last year when it first showed up. A lot of people actually called it out as a funny joke, I was never sure if it actually happened or not.

Actually SA has never been blocked in China, by the Chinese government anyway. It's sort of blocked by proxy now because certain cloudflare stuff doesn't work in China, though.

There was one big red flag on the listing. The description noted the item up for auction was a photo. However, since it was listed in the consoles category and the seller had good feedback, Clatworthy went ahead with the purchase. "It said 'photo' and I was in two minds, but I looked at the description and the fact it was in the right category made me think it was genuine," he explained

My parents only ever did that to me once. My dad got pissed at me once, and threatened to take away some fireworks we were going to launch on Halloween. I was basically "Go ahead, big man." He then proceeded to take them and break them all in half and dump out the contents into a water bucket.

I was pissed, but I will always savor the look on my dads face when I told him "Whatever, you're the one who paid for them. Nice going flushing your money down the toilet." I think it might've been the first time I "bested" my dad, and one of the first times I started to realize my dad was an intensely stupid man who had stopped learning and maturing at about age 14.

Re: Hyper political third grader

Nine year olds can definitely talk like that, but they don't really know what the hell they're saying. Most likely they are parroting something their YouTube idol said. Case in point - recently, my nine year old nephew correctly used the word "ergo" in an argument with his dad. Who knows where he got the word, but it made us all laugh in surprise. The thing is though that the argument was about why he should get Minecraft on Nintendo when he already had​ it for three other consoles. So it's still a very childish conversation to have.

Kids try to talk big sometimes because they want to grow up. It's not at all a sign that they are mature, just that they are growing up. It's just plain stupid to imply your dumbass kid is some genius savant because he can copy a quote from Bill Maher.

That's all assuming that this happened, by the way. Which it didn't.

I've sat jury duty in two cases and not once was I sworn in, and pretty much we were generally encouraged not to say a drat thing (aside from answering selection questions). Just sit in the box and listen to both sides. Are there jurisdictions where jurors are sworn in on a bible?

Do jury members even have to do that? I was on a jury for an attempted murder case and never had to be sworn in. And why would I have had to, since it's not like the jury is testifying?
