This. Big Red is disgusting. Yes. Big Red and Creme Soda are the two worst beverages, of the world.

Atlanta Georgia Recs
Will be in Atlanta for a long weekend in late March/early April. I have not been to Atlanta since I was a kid, with my parents, so it is sort of a blank slate for me to fill and looking for some recommendations. Staying downtown Peachtree Center Will be Ubering, no car. We arrive Thursday AM and leave Monday afternoon. Have plans (concerts) Saturday and Sunday nights at a place near Fourth Ward Park. Beyond that, the rest of the weekend is open for sites, activities, culture, meals, etc. Planning on visiting the High Museum one afternoon. GF has expressed some interest in a tour of CNN as she has a relative who works there. What else shouldn't we miss? Must do places to eat (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) - anything from divey to high end is in our bailiwick - would like to focus on Southern/regional fare as much as possible, but not exclusively. Not interested in bars, unless its to eat, or see music. Hit me - thx

Chili w/o beans
my favorite leftover chili meal - frito pie tacos would cross-post to the steel shank thread, but plate too fancy

Donald Trump 2019
There have been several dozen impeachable offenses prior to this. That we know of. Nothing happened with any of those, and nothing will come of this, either. There simply is no bottom for Trump and the Republican Party. None.

Let’s be real. He’s about six feet and probably around 280. He’s super fucking fat.

Why does anyone post a serious response to anything this guy says?

Trump Slays something something Pay Day Loans
Look - you can have that perspective, and it doesn't faze me one bit. But the reality is I continue to positively impact hundreds of lives each year through my job and enjoy the mutual respect and gratitude shared with my students and colleagues. And now I’m going to go pack for my family's 10-day trip to Orlando.

2023 Republican Government Shutdown: Same Shit, Same Story
This is my thought as well. I guess I kinda get the argument that this move sets precedent for all kinds of hypothetical good stuff at some hypothetical point in the future, but I’m just having a hard time giving much of a fuck about or taking any comfort in any of that. I want the bullshit that is going on now stopped dead in it’s tracks now, much more.

Top Date Night Spots
another one i haven't seen mentioned here - GF and I have hit Fabi & Rossi for weeknight date night a few times recently. food is excellent, service has been top notch, ambience (for lack of a better term, i suppose) is great - there are probably 14 or so tables in there total (not including what looks to be a large party table in the back), in a charming old house. not loud at all, not crowded on top of other tables, and you can usually walk in and be seated right away (weeknights, anyway) . nice little patio area out front when the weather is nice. one of my favorite spots.

The Robert Mueller Investigation
shit man, i've been ready to riot for a long time now. i just feel like it would be kind of silly for me to do it all by myself.

The Robert Mueller Investigation
yes. and that same thing could be said about several dozens of things that have already happened during this administration. and here we are - not only is trump still in office, but between 40 and 50+ percent of the voting population supports him and will vote for him again no matter who the opponent(s) is/are (and my contention is that it is closer to 50 per cent, there are just less people willing to admit it publicly, thus skewing his poll approval numbers downwards), and there is a very strong chance he will be re-elected. so, yeah.

Donald Trump 2019
Bingo. The vast majority of the “pro-life” movement isn’t about “saving babies” at all. It’s about oppressing and controlling women, and the desire to shove hypocritical, fake/pseudo-Christian religious beliefs down the throats of others. That said, can we move back to how grossly incompetent and treasonous Trump and his entire administration is now?

2020 Democratic Nominee
Lulz. Maybe if it were judged by who can throw out the most fifth grade level insults. Trump can’t even speak in full sentences or articulate a coherent thought unless it’s been written by someone else.
