Reddit.com/r/boxingstreams is an interesting forum I stumbled upon!
The only good thing Ive ever seen come from reddit is just googling "team name vs team name streaming reddit" and they're usually pretty good about finding links.

Why is the reddit cars forum thing so bad? It's a running list of the worst memes and typical garbage and cliques and I can't figure out for the life of me why certain things are upvoted and others aren't.
I already know it in my heart the answer is because 'lol reddit' but still.

Public service announcement: not all pieces of pork are the same. Really wanted some smoked pork so I grabbed a smaller bone in shoulder (8 pounds). Lately I've been smoking boneless shoulders usually 15 pounds at a time and getting done in 12 hours or so. Figured 9-10 would be plenty. Hit the stall hard and 12 1/2 hours later it finally got to temp.

Eating BBQ pork at 11:00 at night is every bit as delicious. I have no shame.

if I haven't posted about MY LANDCRUISER yet, check my bullbars for kangaroo prints

I just found out that one of my friends has become an "Ethical Vegan" because apparently farming animals has too much of an impact on the world.

I dont know how to break it to her the sheer amount of wasteful killing that goes on farming the poo poo vegans eat- soybeans, peas etc. Murder every bird that comes near em and leave em to rot on the ground. Not to mention the pesticides sprayed all over that poo poo, or the impact on 3rd world countries that the "Superfood" movement is causing- Quinoa is a great example.

I just dont know if i can be friends with a vegan?

Except it wasn't a landslide victory, you shouldn't use racial slurs, and they both left happy as gently caress because they had a good fight and made tons of money. Dumbass.

As somebody who works in one (albeit research, not production) holy poo poo is this true. There's also a wafer supply bottleneck which keeps costs high, especially for smaller fabs.

I was doing a little job on my brother's GTI (gently caress whoever designed the rear brake shield mounting on those things), and was taking his car back. It's peppy, and my 8 year old girl was with me. I was getting on it and she was saying how much she liked acceleration.

So, I grabbed dad's E90 M3 and took her for a ride. I don't know if I've ever heard her laugh like that before. :D

Ok let me clarify so everyone understands my position:

The Irish are no longer reviled and have blended into "white society" to the point that you do not hear of anti Irish sentiment in the year of our lord 2017

They are no longer held down by socioeconomic setbacks by the white ruling class that hispanics and African Americans are, they are just normal white people. A slur is strong or hateful word against a person who is not a member of the cisgender heterosexual white community. Words against the LGBTQ community can also be called slurs.

All of my family refers to other Irish people as "micks", we all call each other dumbass micks, and the word has been reclaimed except for by Boston Irish people who still think they're persecuted or whatever, I don't know what it's like out there but I doubt they're persecuted
