    Say, I'm not up to date on political correctness, can we still call it the "yellow press"? Or is that "Asian Media" now?

    You see, black skin contrasts so horribly with the case... you can't have that!

    Because if they did it would be racist for thinking they could prey on the blacks with money, because in their racist mind they spend money inconsiderately and for worthless bling.

    Didn't you get the memo? No matter what you do, it's racist. Tell me anything you do and I can tell you why you're a horrible, racist person.

  4. How much thereof is plumping? on Turkeys Are Twice as Big as They Were in 1960 (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Just in case you're wondering why after cooking your meat has about 10% of its original size, feast your eyes on this.

    In other words, how big is your turkey after roasting for a few hours? Is it still bigger? Or did it "sweat"?

    Yeah, those blacks, why don't they go to some Ivy League school and become bankers or corporate leaders like the good white collar criminals?

    Knowing my grandma and her Thanksgiving cooking habits, I wouldn't be surprised if in a deep freezer somewhere in the country there is still some...

    That's actually I good question: How do I get Facebook to think I'm (minority group) so advertisers don't pester me?

    What this does is save the potential renter time. Because if some bigot doesn't want to rent his apartment to someone who is (insert person group here) he WILL find an excuse not to. And there is no law that could even possible force anyone to rent a certain apartment to someone specific. This isn't a bar where more than one person at the same time gets in where you can easily point at discrimination when he's turned away while some other person not belonging to the same group get in.

    In other words, even if they are prejudiced, you'll have a hard time proving it.

    True that. There ain't a place on earth with more churches, preachers, televangelists and other con artists.

    Culinary tip: A bowl of salad becomes much more nutritious and tasty if, just before serving, you replace it with a steak.

    You'd be surprised just what of our food contains sugar in one form or another. IIRC they made a test with some burger joints and the only thing that did NOT contain sugar there were the sugar-free sodas and the salad, provided you forgo dressing.

    Well, at least an arm.

    Just to clarify, do I have to pay the 10 bucks or is MS desperate enough now to pay you to take them?

  20. ...and error...

  21. But UWP is even WORSE than Windows 10 by itself. You can only create Win10 applications with it. Now who the hell would want to do that? It's like writing mobile apps for Nokia's OS the name of which I even forgot by now because it's so insignificant that it's not worth remembering.

    Why the FUCK would anyone want to develop for a platform that is about as well received as the aforementioned herpes?

    Then we should bomb the kind of Islam (yes, there's more than one, go figure...) that is really a threat to us.
