  • But Vance was saying (and I agree) that people don’t cook it as regularly as they do chicken, or burgers, or even, say, pork chops, because they don’t love it as much as they pretend to on Thanksgiving.

    Nope That’s not at all what he was saying, you’re trying to move the goalposts now. I looked it up and here is the quote of what he said:

    “Think about turkey. Who really likes … be honest with yourself, who really likes turkey?” Vance told troops on Wednesday during remarks from Fort Campbell, Ky. “You are all full of s—. Everybody who raised your hands.”

    “Here’s how I know that every single one of you who raised your hand is lying to me. How many times do you roast an 18-pound turkey just randomly? Just you know, a nice summer afternoon, we’re going to go get an 18-pound turkey.”

    So, he asked “Who really likes turkey?” and called everyone who raised their hands “full of shit”. He said “every single one of you who raised your hand is lying to me.”

    He appears to actually believe that because he doesn’t like turkey, then no one else likes turkey either and if they say they do, they’re lying. How fucked up is that? He also seems to believe that you would have to cook an entire turkey if you want to eat any turkey. It’s bizarre and out of touch with how normal people live.






  • Ah, the good old days of the internet. Yes, I miss them. There are still a few around, like the Linux Mint forum, and some other tech-related ones. But it used to be you could find any topic you were interested in and your account and username were specific to it, and they were separate domains (in the normal, non-tech sense of the word). So you might show one aspect of your personality in one forum and a different aspect in a different kind of forum. Just like you would with different friend or acquaintance groups.
