I get what you’re saying, but they would be even more gleeful if it was some left wing icon that got an unplanned tracheostoma.

Imagine Gretta getting blasted. She’s not even a propagandists, but the closest I could think of off the cuff.

All soils yield to me

Think that’s bad? How about your dry skin on your hands catching on the headliner of a car.

Wild parsnip Cow parsnip Poison parsnip Giant hogweed

The sap from all of these cause terrible blisters when it gets on you and sunlight hits it

Hey, if I have to see it, so do you. You get just as much explanation as I did

Dang. That’s a much better spelling. I was trying to figure out how to type it without it just saying bags.

Honestly, they inadvertently made it better, and certainly made it more poignant

Happy Birthday, OP. Trying to lose weight sucks. I miss the days when I was on the “see food” diet, but I’ve dropped 20 lbs since January and picked up some healthy habits along the way.

Watermelon is amazing, so I’d be all over this

I like to roll the dice

YEAH MEMES MODS FUCK YOU! IT WAS A GOOD POST I HAD! seriously, though I don’t actually care.

I’m not talking about plastic household pipes though - I was clarifying that they are more common than copper now on new builds. NA pipes are PEX from what I’ve been able to dig up.

Garden hoses - my main focus in my comments - are still made out of PVC

Christ, that’s a hell of an instance name.

Plastics are bad for us, no matter how you slice it. Even seemingly stable ones carry risk

The garden hoses are made out of PVC, and It leaches into the water passing though it

And Ghost is just spooky ABBA

Funny comment, you should go post it on reddit.

I was making a shitty joke, though it seems to have a grain of truth more recently.

I don’t know enough about the red scare to really comment on it. McCarthyism didn’t really happen in my country as much as it did in the US.

Coopting and infiltration of labour movements were partly responsible, but more so outsourcing/global competition (as you mention) and changes in dominant economic sectors played a big role too. On top of that retirement of former union members - those that saw what the benefits of unions were first hand - also cut down union interest gave corporations more power.
