I know you’re joking, but for anyone genuinely curious, those correspond to news updates about the trial. It’s been going on for a month and a half, after all.
Perhaps, but after doing a bit of research I came to conclude that this is actually just a non-alcoholic variation on two existing shots, namely the Tapeworm and the Hot Mexican Hooker.
The Tapeworm is a shot of vodka with a dollop of mayonnaise squeezed in (sorta like in the picture above) and sprinkled with pepper, and the Hot Mexican Hooker consists of two parts Tequila, one part Tabasco, and a dash of tuna can juice.
I honestly just stole this meme from somewhere else so I make no claim to having invented this recipe.
Also, if you ask me, I think some celery and maybe a dash of pickle juice might go well with it in order to really round out the tuna salad experience. Also the pepper rim seems rather odd since tuna salad isn’t exactly known for being particularly spicy.
You can do worse. There’s a shot called “brain hemorrhage”, which is a splash of grenadine, peach schnapps, and Bailey’s poured on top and it looks like something that came straight out of H. R. Giger’s lab.
The more you grow and eat at home, the less the food industry needs to burn fuel to ship. I know you folks in the US hate doing anything to help out with the world, but if you took the saying of be the change you want to see, imagine the tens of millions of acres being wasted on lawns being put to environmental and nutritional use. Imagine instead of putting leaves into plastic bags to get shipped to a landfill, or burning, houses normalized having compost piles. You get to put waste paper and cardboard in there too instead of bagging it.
I challenge all of yall to grow beans this season. They grow fast, they grow easy, theyre pretty nutritionally complete, they fertilize your soil themselves. Make use of your land.
What a bullshit blanket rude comment. Lots of folks in the US are working hard to affect change at their personal and local level. You should edit your comment because it’s nationalistic and disparaging.
Don’t leave out Australia and Canada, since Australia is worse and Canada is next on the list after the USA.
Go ahead and tell everybody how Australia, USA, and Canada are such bad countries.
Meanwhile, with the freedom afforded to me as a land owner in the USA I work from home, harvest solar energy with solar panels to run my electronics, and am growing my own produce and eggs in a backyard farm. As an individual I’m probably doing more for the environment than most people reading this whole Lemmy post.
A. Do a carbon footprint analysis of your life, if it’s above 2,5 tons coe/year you’re a net burden on the planet. My country is as well, although considerably lower than the US.
B. It is possible for you to be a paragon of environmentalism and still live in a country with inefficient systems for water, infrastructure, zoning, industry and food production. Not to mention live in a culture of unsustainable lifestyle. Many Chinese or Indian persons are simply too poor to have a major impact on the environment, but their national industrial practices drive up the average pollution to levels comparable to the US (although still lower). Most US people aren’t as poor, and also have shitty industry standards, and also the means to change that without losing your standing internationally.
C. Multiple countries are shitty, in fact most of the non-developing world countries are a net burden.
D. As opposed to the other countries at the top, the US has had the economy, data, and access to resources to be able to something about it for generations, whereas most have had half the time and considerable need of modernising.
E. The US is much larger than the other countries, and could with quite simple measures make great impact and help pressure other great polluters.
Yup we should normalize gardening and canning. It’s a thing my grandparents knew. Their families survived times of world wars, dust bowls and the great depression. They probably didn’t have much choice in the moment but even when times got better they kept up a wonderful little garden. Kid me didn’t get why they didn’t just buy the things they needed.
I love the conveniences of modern farming and I use it every day. But like all big industialized systems they can be fragile. Covid was a huge problem for a lot of indistries and thankfully farming wasn’t really one of them. But if it was countless people would have struggled.
I’m not really a prepper or anything crazy but I don’t want to forget the lessons learned just a few decades ago- gardening is great and worth the effort.
It makes sense for it to be the same as solar power: just because most of energy generation is done in big facilities and even some kinds of solar generation (such as solar concentrators) can only be done in large facilities, doesn’t make having some solar panels providing part of one’s needs (or even all of one’s needs for some of the time) less cost effective in Economic terms or a good thing in Ecologic terms.
So it makes sense to grow some of one’s food, but maybe not go as far as raise one’s own beef or even aim for food self sufficiency, both for personal financial reasons and health reasons. That it’s also good in Ecological terms (can lower the use of things like pesticides and definitelly reduces transportation needs) is just icing on the cake.
Imagine instead of putting leaves into plastic bags to get shipped to a landfill, or burning, houses normalized having compost piles.
I appreciate your argument but there’s no need to throw in a strawman. Leaves in plastic bags have been illegal in most US states for decades. Yard waste must be in paper bags.
It is a remarkable about-face, to be honest. Before, he was the one major NATO leader that was openly, clearly trying to pursue aggressive diplomatic options with Russia regarding the Ukraine War. Now, he’s the one major NATO leader that’s openly discussing the possibility of sending his troops into Ukraine to help push Russia back.
I mean, Macron was always supportive of stronger European military cooperation, and France always had that “screw the US” mentality and always insisted on strategic autonomy
The last I heard was that he wasn’t ruling out sending ground troops to Ukraine – which is what UK is already doing. Mind, that ground troops aren’t soldiers per se, but mostly technical personell supporting the usage of weapons, for example repairing equipment and helping with the programming of missiles. But I haven’t heard any plans from him – just the classical strategic ambiguity.
But to be honest, I don’t follow french politics in detail.
There will never be any french troops in Ukraine during the conflict.
It’s very clear in the army at least both in higher-ups and in troops I think.
Advisors, trainers and other types of support definitely but there will not be any french troops in Ukraine.
Macron might say the complete opposite in a few months it is meaningless.
This is part of the purposefully ambiguous strategy our army wants to push. We just don’t want to have a too detailed limit to what Russia can and cannot do before we act. But technically it’s fairly irrelevant here since it’s a NATO issue.
People shouldn’t think much to what our president says. This is a diversion to avoid talking about other subjects.
Because American politics has become so barren of thought and nuance that even interacting with content containing specific images will be highlighted as support for that thing. So you can’t use memes with people you disagree with unless the meme is showing how you want to disrespect them.
And American politics continues to poison the internet “well” like the dead body it is because America has a lot of guns is looking more and more unstable by the day.
Why do you presuppose it has become normal? Have you seen this often? It’s the first time I’ve seen it myself, and I am genuinely browsing memes too often for my health.
That’s funny shit though, if you talk about how HP Sauce named his cat a hard R slur, that’s just good small talk.
I’m only fighting you on this because I like to acknowledge the darker side of our cultural touchstones. For example I still listen to Thriller, but I never forget MJ might have fucked those kids. I mean, come on. It’s a bop.
There’s a difference between acknowledging it and feeling like you should let everyone know any time it’s brought up.
As a person involved in creative works, I don’t think this is healthy in the long run. If a fella was a bigot once, and you denounce them every time they’re brought up, that comes off as you saying they shouldn’t be allowed to do creative work because they were a bigot once.
On a personal level, I don’t really have as much to fear from that because I’ve never been a hater (though I’ve certainly said things in the past that can be misconstrued.) But I work with teams. I have a concern that one day, one of my teammates on one of my favorite projects might get exposed for something I had no way of knowing, that might have only occured years before I met them, and then the reputation of that project is going to be forever tainted. That could be hundreds of hours of work and passion down the drain.
I think I get that… I’ve had a few friends complain about how you can’t get the space jam album anymore because of some shit about one of the artists, or so the record stores have told them. I don’t remember all of it but some tracks at least we’re also ‘a bop’ like the other person said, but I guess MJ is bigger than a bunch of mixed artists with one(?) bad apple.
This is just my personal version of “death of the artist”. You have to separate the art from the artist, but that doesn’t mean we give them a free pass imo
Tbh it’s this fact that makes me glad I’ve done nothing to enter the public consciousness. I’d rather not be remembered for my countless mistakes and bad takes.
Seriously??? If anything they should be complaining about the terrible Photoshop job on the black eye! Could they not have spent 5 minutes to do that with makeup?
I suspect they probably had to get the ad out that day to print so they just took whatever stock photo they had on hand, smudged it with something black and shipped it out. Finding a model, setting up a photoshoot, makeup and printing before getting to work on the ad would take too long.
The Internet sucked before ad blockers. In the 1990s, web sites would spawn several ad windows. Sometimes, they would spawn pop-UNDER windows as well, so when you closed your browser, you had a nice big porn window left on your desktop. Advertisers abused the hell out of visitors and if you complained about it, their response was basically, “HA HA! F*CK YOU! HERE’S ANOTHER AD!”
They could have played nice. But once they had a chance to make free money, greed and sh*tty behavior ruled the day. This is how programs like Web Washer were born.
Yep. Seems like all chains go down the path of we need MORE profit! So they cut the quality of ingredients and just up the salt and fat content. Pretty soon it just tastes like garbage and they are shocked that no-one wants to eat their shit and they start closing down locations…
