So the Wikipedia entry for c&c day has comments from feminists describing how great it is, and the Wikipedia entry for s&b day has... comments from feminists describing how awful it is. Got it.
I was curious if pickles can be non kosher, and here's what I found:
Yes, pickles can be non-kosher. Kosher pickles are typically pickled in brine and flavored with garlic and dill, while non-kosher pickles are usually pickled in vinegar and flavored with sugar and pickling spices. Kosher pickles also meet other requirements, such as using kosher salt, following strict kosher guidelines during production, and avoiding non-kosher additives.

I bought dill pickles today, and sure enough they are kosher. I looked this up some more. I am finding that kosher dills are all made with garlic as one of the ingredients. This isn't even a jewish dietary restriction, it is just traditional.
I'm pretty sure I remember eating dill pickles made with vinegar (non-kosher) without garlic. I think when my mom used to make homemade pickles, she made them with garlic. I'm going to search around the internet a little, and see if there are any specialty pickle brands that have non-garlic, vinegar based dill pickles.
If anyone else knows of brand of pickles like this, please post!
Edit: Now I'm not sure the use of vinegar is a distinguishing factor. I thought it was brine vs vinegar, but now I'm not sure. I don't care about jewish priests blessing the pickle factory machinery. I'm interested in the recipe.

Poor guy, maybe we should have just skipped that number and he’d be member 667…..like how Hotels skip the 13th floor. But if not, then we must burn him at the stake!
The latest boomertard obsession is hystrionically defending Boeing in the online comments.
Go to any story about a plane malfunction and you will find loads of boomers bending over backwards to defend Boeing "If this was an AIRBUS plane they wouldnt even TELL YOU who built it!" "The ENGINE wasn't made by BOEING. How is this their fault!"
I don't really get this, as boomers are obsessed with "WOKE and DEI are DESTROYING the GREATEST NATION in the HISTORY OF THE WORLD" and Boeing is all on board the wokeness, and also laying off smart white engineers. Who knows. Nothing makes sense anymore.
I think it's just typical boomer out of touch American Exceptionalism nonsense of "I categorically believe x is the best y in the world and no fact you can present to me can ever change my mind."

Not sure if this should go under conspiracy theories, but I didn't want to start a thread. Just something I noticed. If you watch the Trump shooting video, look who is sitting right behind him. The same weird guy that has been showing up at his events for years. Some claim it is JFK Jr. in disguise. At any rate, here he looks totally like a clown and while the shooting is going on and everyone is freaking out, he is the only one who just sits there calmly as if everything were normal. Strange behavior, strange person (or costume).
Caduceus
Heritage
Whoever he is, after so many years of standing/sitting in Trump rallies, he probably has Trump's personal permission to be there each time.
Totally agreed.
So true. The admins need to do something about this problem and if they are too cowardly, well, just make me a co-admin for one day and I will fix it in no time.

You won't even let people see your profile and now you want to be admin?
I often find myself having to ask men to repeat themselves because I couldn't hear them. Doesn't happen with women. Are some men really so meek that they can't even speak above the volume of a whisper?
I don't know if they are doing this in the US too but the caps on mineral water bottles like you get at the gas station don't come off any more. They unscrew and then stay attached so you can't lose them or some nonsense.
What is this? Who the f unscrews a bottle and immediately loses the cap?
Apparently its to do with the EU. Another amazing and important achievement from those clowns

Why are bottle caps now attached to the bottle?
A new requirement for a tethered design for plastic caps on drinks bottles officially comes into force in the EU on Wednesday, but what’s behind the move?

I've been seeing this here this past week. I didn't realize they were so new.I don't know if they are doing this in the US too but the caps on mineral water bottles like you get at the gas station don't come off any more. They unscrew and then stay attached so you can't lose them or some nonsense.

I hate them. I don't want the tethered bottle cap pressing against the corner of my mouth, and it looks stupid when you see people having to use one hand for the bottle and the other hand to hold the tethered cap off to the side. Taking a drink from a bottle shouldn't have to be a two handed operation.
I just rip the lid off the tether, but then you still have the little plastic tether sticking out from the edge of the bottle opening. I've bit these off too, and end up with little cut off tethers that I have to pick up and throw away.
It's not surprising if this was a stupid new mandate from the bureaucrats.
I think that's how the whole country feels. I was at a social gathering right after the Trump shooting happened. One guy told us and showed pictures on his cellphone. The reaction from one of my friends was to casually brush it off "Oh yeah I saw that already, he's fine."
It's like the gravity of something that extreme happening had about a 5 minute effect on him, and he had already processed it earlier, then it was no big deal. Best example of how we all feel right now in 2024 I've seen in a long time. It's like.... yeah. Difficult to react to much of anything anymore. Probably 50% related to covid lockdowns and 50% just general societal decline. I mean do you think people get shocked in South Africa about much of anything?
I heard the alert system go off over the radio in the car the other day and was thinking to myself "Someone is attacking DC oh please oh please oh please". But of course it was just a test. But any announcement they could have made would have just made me "meh"
