You mean the only national chain in the entire category beat out that one hole in the wall place in my small town with the killer tacos!?

My point is that there are no other national chains

Yeah the same people who talk about judeo-Christian values are usually also the ones who love Sam Harris and Hitchens and Dawkins and are rabidly atheist. They just don’t really have any morality or ethical beliefs beyond being angry and miserable

Even the ones who are actually Christian are acting off the same instincts and just as hypocritical so the difference is basically nil regardless

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day.

Give a man a grenade and he can rob a Taco Bell and eat for 2, maybe 3 days.

There is a great memoir by someone who worked at Alcor in the early days that suggests their quality control is not all that clients might hope for.

Actually, there are two: Freezing People Is (Not) Easy, by Bob Nelson, and Frozen: A True Story, by Larry Johnson. I’m pretty sure it was Johnson’s book that tells the story of baseball legend Ted Williams’s head being balanced on a tuna can, and Nelson’s book that tells the story of the dewars (big glass jugs) that cracked and had all the nitrogen boil out, but it’s been a while since I read them and could be misremembering.

Edit to add: it is Johnson with the tuna can allegations, as discussed by ESPN here. Both of these books are good reading if you like train wrecks.

To the below, a lot of the cryonics gang are atheists. A surprising number are obscure science fiction writers. Charles Platt, for example, is a tireless cryonics apologist all over the Internet.

Pandas are the perfect example of how evolution doesn't create "the best creature." Whatever survives best in that specific environment is what evolves, even if it's total bullshit.

no, it doesnt.

i get youre saying that its the same sentiment & i agree, but that flag is mask off. theyre not even trying to couch it with the "white lives matter" dog whistle, theyre full-on nazis but still the headline is toning it down to "both sides". thats insult to injury imo

Honestly it just seems like the same thing that happens in nearly every language.
A couple older people whine and gripe about how their language which has always changed and evolved and grabbed loanwords should stop doing that immediately.
It's the kind of thing that comes up in articles every now and then, and will keep on cropping up forever, just as it has been cropping up for ages in the past.
