I'll be so glad when this election is over and he can just lose the rest of his criminal cases and get sentenced, or have his final Big Mac Attack and dodge justice forever.

Know what's real? Stupid pointless troll posts.

I just got into lemmy, and compared to reddit he seems refreshingly scarce here. Come to think of it so does Bonespurs.

Same. At least Bonespurs will probably soon have his final Big Mac Attack and the news will be all about MAGA self destructing as the hangers-on claw each other to pieces to get on top. Musk has a lot more years left in him. His smartest move would be to announce that he's trans and make social media implode like a supermassive black hole.

Thanks! Noting this for if I'm ever in London again!

A few years ago I was in a local place where the food and service were both entertainingly bad. For decades it had been a wonderful little Greek restaurant, until the couple who ran it moved to Greece for a well-deserved retirement and their son took it over. The son remodeled and reopened it as a combination Greek/sushi restaurant and sports bar, hanging five or six large screens from the ceiling. In a place slightly larger than my living room.

I was eager to try the sushi. "There's no sushi tonight. Dennis isn't here." Oh, alright, when is Dennis here? "We don't know. Maybe Wednesday. He never says." Well alrighty then. Dennis is livin' the dream I guess. So I ordered spanakopita, another favorite. What I received was a brown chunk resembling a giant Totino's pizza roll, on an otherwise bare plate, where it dryly slid around all by itself. It looked and tasted like a Costco product they took out of a package and over-microwaved. The driest, crispest spanakopita I've ever had.

I took a chance and ordered the baklava. It tasted okay but instead of being flaky it was actually soggy - not as in dripping with butter and honey, I mean watery. The only watery baklava I've ever had, and also the only serving of baklava in my life that I did not finish.

A guy dining at the next table asked the waitress for the check, but said he would like a cup of coffee first. I was directly facing the clock and happened to notice it was exactly 7pm. At 7:10 she returned with their check and said, "We're out of coffee." Wat? They're open for another 3 hours and they're out of coffee LOL? And it took a full 10 minutes to return with this info. It's a tiny place, I could see the coffee machine like 12 ft away. And there are like six customers. Seemed like a dismally bad restaurant in a sitcom, reminding me somewhat of the diner in The Dark Backward.

There were a couple other things but that's all I can remember. Anyway, this new version of the place didn't last long and it's permanently closed now.

The $100,000 watch was made in the part of Switzerland that's in China. Beautiful sweatshops, very special.

We don't know that she hasn't considered that option.

I'm a man who hates watching videos on my phone, but I'm already married. I'll ask around tho.

On a deeper level I think it's mostly a framework of acceptability some people have built around being antisocial and afraid of everything.

LOL I've done this many times. It's a matter of pride. I don't want people to be like, did a cat park this?

You'll know you're in trouble if you're arguing and he stares blankly and starts jabbing his finger at the air.
