    Fear promoted by… the Russians?

    I need a soundproof tube to put my head in where I can scream as loud as possible until my vocal chords rip and no one else can hear.

    Either that or a VR type thing where it replicates reality so well that I can feel the pain of clawing my own eyeballs from the sockets. Or, alternatively… well, best not to type that one cough

    There’s only one country on earth that has couped, rigged, murdered, sanctioned, invaded, whatever else, dozens of countries over the last century… that country was NOT Russia (or the USSR).

    So fucking sick of shitty right wing people carrying the torch for US state dept to fire all the libs up and get them in line to support the next horrific genocide or war we choose to do/support.

      Nazi ass names like Applebaum

      Why you think it’s nazi? It’s a Jewish name, but weird, clearly from yiddish “Apfelbaum” but anglicized in first half? Should be “Appletree” if consistent. And anyone with a yiddish name no matter how changed should be anti-nazi and not anti-anti-nazi like she is.

        It just sounded German as fuck with apfelbaum, which is what I also assumed the original name was before her family came to America (or whatever).

        But your point is taken and I will edit that portion out.

          Jews in Austria and Germany (and in relevant parts of partitioned Poland) got their surnames administratively assigned by the government. Therefore most western Ashkenazi Jews have two-part names with popular parts including “Baum”, “Berg”, “Feld”, “Gold”, “Rosen”, “Apfel” etc. Here is interesting article about this, though only in polish.

      Borrow a restaurant’s walkin. When I was working in a kitchen when I was younger it was their main purpose.

      They keep your food cold too.

        I used to work for a grocer and specifically in the frozen section, sometimes dealing with dairy, but mostly in the frozen ass giant walk-in freezer. That was always a decent safe place to talk shit on management since they didn’t wanna go in there (too cold for their fragile bodies) and the incidental soundproofing.
