Was he the one that intentionally built the bridges too low for the city buses to go out to Long Island so all the white folks wouldn’t be bothered by those scary minorities that live in NYC on the beaches?

Yeah and it's still the gold standard example of how technology isn't neutral and exhibits the morality and intent of its creator.

Stuff like that is enough to make me think humanity needs to abandon morality in order to advance.

Funny that you link to Glenn Kessler, the Washington Post's fact-checker, is himself evidence that fact-checking "isn't neutral and exhibits the morality and intent of its creator."
Kessler has never apologized or retracted any of this, even when he's been caught out in a lie himself. Though the Post editors have been forced to amend his articles at times. Kessler is the direct decedent of the founder of Shell Oil, which I'm sure has no relation to being touchy about when people talk about wealth inequality and finding the flimsiest excuse to call Sanders a liar.

For me, kinda yeah. I thought I hated them for decades because we just had them boiled. Didn't find out until much later that they're great if you actually cook them decently.

Doesn't look like the peyote pics I've seen, even if it is big. No flowers, different color.

Yeah, they actually used to taste bad, it's not just that you didn't like them because you were a kid or something. Kind of like how Pepsi and Dr Pepper taste like rear end now, but in reverse.

I had some lovely company staying at my hour recently and I had some brussel sprouts I was going to roast. They made "soup" by dumping every vegetable I had in my fridge into a pot with no seasoning and boiling until it was mush. The place reaked of sulfer when I got home...

I blame the british empire for the prevalence of people thinking this is the correct way to "cook" vegetables.

I have a Betty Crocker cookbook from the 50s that has a vegetable soup recipe that's just dumping a bag of frozen veg into a pot of boxed chicken stock and heating it. It's incredibly sad

I looked it up years ago because I had Brussels sprouts that didn't taste like rear end and I wondered if my tastes had just changed that much, and the new flavor is indeed the result of aggressive breeding and selection. Modern Brussels sprouts are significantly different than the gross ones I grew up with.

Ted Bundy killed young women and is also a big deal in the true crime community. I don't think the identity of the victims changes anything for them.

Yes, many children regularly dress as notable serial killer Jason Voorhees.

Dressing as Ted Bundy doesn’t make sense, he could look like a whole different person just by parting his hair. It’s a contradiction, like dressing as a chameleon.

that person is probably overreacting to claims or making up the claim entirely because i cannot imagine any child out there trick or treating wants to be jeff dahmer

the problem is that netflix just put out yet another true crime dahmer thing and all this stuff is really just lurid murder porn, and you can say that the reason dahmer is such a popular murderer is because he murdered disposable LGBTQ+ men. i mean also he ate his victims but he wasn't so much of a whackjob like richard ramirez so he could explain himself, which is pretty loving weird. so its a big thing people are talking about online right now about how true crime as a genre is exploitative and whatnot and if people are talking about something online in an angry way you can be certain that a lot of the takes will be dumb as poo poo

"hm, how can i feel like i have the moral high ground in this argument? i'm going to assume that you are dressing your children as this murderer, and i would never do that, so i'm the better person"
