All these politicians that act like they hate each other are friends. They all go to the same parties.
And none of them have any intention of 'solving' any of the major issues they pretend to trash each other over, because a large amount of voters vote based solely on wedge issues, and actually addressing any of those issues in any way would lose them the reliable votes of all the people who only come out for those issues.
It's actually far more benificial for them, personally, to add fuel, sow chaos, divide Americans, and actively work to undermine the wishes of their constituency than it is to actually attempt to accomplish anything meaningful.
The failure to enshrine congressional term limits as a cornerstone of our government in the Constitution is arguably its greatest weakness because they will never impose them on themselves. And it's the reason that immersing yourself in team politics is a fools errand.

quote:You added the caveat that most of the places you worked at weren't the nicest places, but, I've worked everything from fine dining, corporate restaurants, wine bars, and small cafes, and I have never once seen someones food fricked with. It's taboo to even joke about doing that in the kitchen.
In college, I worked a couple of years as a waitress. One place was a really nice restaurant. The others weren’t. In the back, it made no difference. NEVER BE RUDE TO THE PEOPLE HANDLING YOUR FOOD. I can’t believe the shite I saw. I was literally the only person who refused to defile the food of rude customers. The other servers made fun of me for it. If you are an arse to your server, I hope you like having your steak wiped on the floor before it’s put on your plate.
Granted, I'm not a server, but, generally, when servers pick up your food, they're in view of others in the kitchen, until they exit into the dining room, where they're in view of customers. So if it is common practice, the average server is far slicker than I would have ever guessed.
Not saying you didn't see those things but if you're eating at any halfway decent place this isn't happening.
Now, fast food, yeah. I've seen enough videos of dumbasses doing this posted on the internet over the years to assume it's relatively common.
*the worst thing I've ever done is, after having a well done steak sent back twice during a rush (it temped at 220 the second time), I threw it in the deep fryer for a minute, and finished it off back on the grill to burn off the oil. I was thinking, "Hope that's well done enough for you, dickhead," when I sent it back out, but the customer ended up saying it was one of the best steaks he'd ever had.

Costco makes zero dollars on anything they sell.. ZERO.. which is why they are able to offer such low prices, they literally sell items for the wholesale prices they pay … the only money Costco makes is on selling memberships .

Imagine being this uninformed lol

In the 2016 Presidential election runup, Homeland Security/FBI sent out a list of IP addresses in Russia, France, Israel, Iran that were popular addresses for script kiddies to probe websites with old malware shite. These locations are likely on every website on the internet and they were asking the Secretaries of State to look for them because according to FBI/HS these were indicators that the russians were trying to hack the election.
Now everyone in cyber security in the country knew this was not an indicator of anything other than DHS/HS were going to leak that every state was attacked by muh russians. When looked into website visitors from those IPs all they did was scroll through the websites. There was no hacking. That whole thing was a narrative to throw doubt on Trump's presidency and it was done by DHS/FBI because they knew everyone that would be exposed to that information was under a non disclosure agreement.
This later was proven when the next year the story came out about how 27 states were attacked by the Russians. That was completely fabricated.
Here we have most people sharing shite from their jobs or personal experiences. This dude just unloads an entire conspiracy out of left field and presents it as fact.

Locations or IP addresses? Why would SoS be looking for locations? Or IP addresses? Do you know how cybersecurity works?!? Clearly not.

Holy shite. You're not even in the field, dude. What do you mean everyone knew?

Who looked into the visitors? How'd they find them? Just scrolling? What does that even mean? Systems were literally breached...as in, someone hacked into databases behind the web front-end. I know that makes no sense to you, but that's literally a hack.

Hard-core liberal that was a cameraman for over 8 years at CNN told me after he left. I asked him to tell us something about CNN that the public doesn't know. He said when he would be sent out on jobs to fill rallies, interviews, marches, they would go to interview an educated black person on TV and the producers would tell them, they wanted to interview the basically hood person on tv at those events. He said that's the one thing that used to piss him off

There is little to no regulatory oversight ensuring food you purchase in a store is up to food safety standards.
It might have come from brand producing in a GFSI audited facility, or it might be coming from JimBob’s garage.
Most major grocers deal with recalls on a weekly basis.

A huge percentage of the bourbon consumed in the US comes from one supplier in Indiana and is bottled and distributed by the companies you’ve heard of.
Here’s one that will make the bourbon snobs throw up- straight from Julian Van Winkle in his book “Pappyland”
When Diageo bought Stezel Weller, they had no idea what they had. A bunch of barrels of bourbon that they basically believed were of little value- and at that time- they were probably right.
So they blended it with Crown Royal.
If you’re a Crown drinker, there’s a chance that you had a smidge of some no joke Pappy cross your pallet. Distilled by Pappy himself.

I mean outside of Kentucky and before the 2010s Pappys wasn’t that well known or popular.
The people who can afford to pay $125 for liquor were buying scotch and bourbon was for blue collar people and mixing with coke.
Those bottles of original pappys now would be selling for $15-20k now because rich people have abandoned scotch in the US and Pappys won the brand awareness game in the market (not to say it isn’t really good stuff).

What? All food is highly regulated, some more than others.
Meat processors are inspected every single shift by the USDA FSIS. Yes, every single shift, so that means every day or twice a day if you’re running 2 shifts.
All other food falls under FDA, which generally only inspects once a year.
Processors are required to have SOPs, SSOPs, HACCP plans, foreign material policies, etc.

Tito's vodka is not handmade inside a copper pot in Austin,TX. It is made from the same shite that most every other American vodka is made from: mass-produced ethanol from Archer Daniels Midland. They take the ethanol & run through copper stills so they can still legally claim to make it in copper pots. It has literally zero effect on the liquid at all.
Don't care. Whatever they do, it tastes better than others.

No it doesnt. By definition, vodka is odorless, colorless, & tasteless. It's all in your mind.

When I was in industrial sales the rep for one of our spray lubricant brands came by. They had a good/better/best spray lube and he told us the difference between the good and the better. Had something to do with the actual makeup of the lube. He said the “best” lube was just the “better” lube in different packaging with a higher price, because some people will buy the highest priced version of anything because they think it’s better.
The paint rep used to tell us the only difference between a “paint” and a “coating” was $5 a gallon.

Its an actual legal requirement that in order to be branded as vodka that a distillate be tasteless.
Even setting that aside, as mentioned it’s all coming from the same vats at an industrial plant outside of 2-4 distilleries.
Do a blind taste testing and let us know how it goes.

Walmart forces manufacturers of products being sold in their stores to use expensive recyclable and/or biodegradable plastic in their packaging, BUT for their store brand items (Great Value, Spring Valley vitamins, etc.), they specify that the absolute cheapest plastics (PVC) be used.
Walmart:
I know of one smaller food company that makes a version of their product for Walmart using a few cheaper ingredients due to Walmart's wholesale price demands that they don't use for ones that go to other supermarkets like Publix.
