That Texas themed bbq/tex mex/steakhouse chain that operates in upstate NY and Canada makes battered fried avocado spears that you dip in ranch.

Are they Texasy? not really. Are they good? at times.

I'd take the avocados over their attempts at anything "mexican" for sure though.

I loving hated how 50FA/humpermonkey would ruin the old ghost story threads with his poo poo and the legion of sycophants who’d spend pages just quoting and egging him on. I tried to read some but I never got to any ghost parts. It was all just him being SO BADASS in THE EIGHTIES and btw he was also TOTALLY BANGING this HOT AS gently caress FEMALE SOLDIER.

What possesses someone to even do things like pretend to be a wheelchair girl? It doesn't sound fun or even that interesting. It's more interesting that they did it in the first place than the actual thing that they did.

I seem to also remember SOME of 50FootAnt's stories being okay? But the derails he caused were obnoxious.

In high school, I pretended to be a ~gamergurrl~ on tf2 because people would buy me steam games.

Using the rank codes in the military afaik is to make it simple to compare ranks across branches and even across NATO countries. A US Army Captain, a Navy Captain, a german Hauptmann, and a french Capitaine are not necessarily the same rank (especially the navy guy) but may well work jointly. If you’re a contractor you’re uh... probably never ever going to be giving commands to any military’s personnel so... kinda seems like Zuckerberg pretending to be a four star general.

Part of it is that it's easier to say E-6 than Staff Sergeant or O-1 instead of Lieutenant. If memory serves the U.S. military has all the same hierarchy but the names are different. An E-5 in the army is basically the same as an E-5 in the navy. In the army that's a Sergeant; in the navy that's a Petty Officer. Foreign militaries have different ranks structures, though.

Acting like one is the equivalent of some high ranking military officer is eye rollingingly stupid for any reason other than "I am literally a military officer of this rank." Civilian government service is a whole different thing.

The E-X/O-X pay grade structure is afaik universal across NATO countries. It’s necessary since especially at high ranks, NATO militaries will operate in an integrated command hierarchy.

Does anyone remember the story of the super awkward goon who had a crush on some girl and went to her apartment to fix her computer? He installed her webcam so he could watch her from his place. He ended up getting caught and posting an e/n thread about it.

I mean low carb can be a useful dieting strategy. It’s just that it should mean “lean meat, veggies, nuts, avoid empty filler calories like white bread and potato chips etc” not “fruit, beans, and hummus make you fat, 72oz steaks fried in lard make you thin”

I'm trying a low/no carb diet. It's working pretty well and all I really miss is sugar. Haven't noticed any smells though. I've basically just been eating tons of salads with oil and vinegar dressing, roasts with veggies, and lots of breakfasty foods (eggs, sausage, grilled tomatoes).

It's only been a couple of weeks, but it seems to be working. Gonna give it a couple of months, but I guarantee my need for beer or pizza will eventually win out.

Tomtoes are made of carbs my dude. Cut that poo poo out. Try adding some grated cheese in their place.

Also, mix liquor with diet sodas for a simple low carb alcohol fix.

Around 2013 I actually tried low carb bc of some SA thread. The sane kind not the bacon kind. Problem was I was also trying to be vegan and get a lifter’s amount of protein in.

Good thing I like tofu.

Isn’t that a requirement in many jurisdictions for restaurants with more than a certain number of locations?

I think so, but my experience is that every McD’s has it (in the US) regardless whereas equally huge chains like Taco Bell don’t.

Did they do it to save money? Probably, but good things for selfish reasons are still better than bad things.

It’s easy to forget that “sexual assault and bigotry are bad” is, to a shocking number of people, a fringe minority view being pushed by a cabal of radical extremists.

No, but I suspect someone in this thread does.

Also, this wonderful doozy showed back up in DnD today and should be remembered

Goatstein posted:

King Hussein Obama I, flanked by his bodyguards, stepped out of his blinged Limoscalade and marched up the gold-lined marble steps of Washington Palace. It should have been a glorious day, yet under his heavy yet exquisite crown of carved human fetus-ivory his brow was ridged deeply as he silently brooded. Still, his posse, boomboxes on their shoulders, dance-walked up the steps, chains and gats jangling over the din as they grabbed their crotches.

As his trusted associates T-Von and Mook-Mook the Bushman pushed open the grand organic farm-grown cruelty-free redwood doors paid for by his 95% tax rate, he stepped into the antechamber of the gold-domed palace. Outside, ShariaVentalism reigned, but in here his word was law, and all his white teen sex slaves cowered before his glare more than even the hemp whips of their latte-drinking tweeded atheist masters.

He walked down the hallway toward his office and a prisoner in chains passed before him, lead by two turban-wearing Mexicans. He spotted the King and began shouting curses.

"You loving fascist! I knew it! I knew it! I told them, but they wouldn't listen, that your health care platform was a slippery slope to all this! You won't get away with this! The will of the Free Market will not be denied!"
"Seelenceo een the prezence of the Keeng, preesoner!"

King Obama spotted a chance to improve his ill mood.

"Bring him here. Good. Give me his file." The king looked over the prisoner's dossier. A long list of crimes against the state, and a repeat offender. "You'll never get away with this! Never!"
"Hush now, Mr. Jack. We have ways of dealing with unruly sorts such as yourself."
"Praise be to Allah, seenyor."
"Peh! I spit at your torture! The Free Market gives me strength!"
"Oh, no, not anything as gauche as that."

The King grabbed a syringe from the outstretched hand of one of his nearby breakdancing bodyguards, and plunged it into the man's helpless neck.

"Now you are immune to rubella."

Kyle's lingering, echoing screams of tormented horror brought a slight smile like a crack in Obama's stony brown face as he walked into his lavish velvet-lined office and shut the door behind him. He motioned for his bodyguards to leave the room, and he addressed the giant screens hanging over his desk.

"Screen one on. Connect to Emperor bin Laden of Eurabia. Screen two: Hugo Chavez of the U.S.S.A.R.. Screen three: The High Elder of Zion."

The three figures appeared live via satelite.

"Gentlemen," began Obama darkly, "it's time to have... a conversation."
