In that context it sounds like they are using the word “sadly” in place of a word like “unfortunately”.

“unfortunately, i’m referring to you.”

“Unfortunately, i think you should suffer and realize what an annoying piece of shit you are.”

Now, as to why it’s sad or unfortunate, I’m not sure. It could be that the person saying “sadly” likes the other person but is upset with them in the moment, or the person saying “sadly” could be trying to soften the blow of a mean comment like the one you used in the example, or they could be saying it’s sad/unfortunate for the person they are talking to.

Just my two cents.

“Same as it ever was”

Is that you Beldar?

That was my first thought. How many times have I heard Michelle Obama called a man?

I will admit, I thought that making fun of ICE Barbie’s looks was unnecessary and the GOP counter would be exactly what she said. But, I still laughed because she’s made of plastic.

That’s great news! Why isn’t Trump being deposed along with the Clintons?

Obviously I know why but this is the question we need to be asking.

Monday’s vote was mostly symbolic, according to the Texas Tribune, as the warrants only apply within state lines.

The move empowers the chamber’s sergeant-at-arms and state troopers to arrest the absent lawmakers and deliver them to the state capitol building in Austin.

They would not face any civil or criminal charges as a result of the warrant, the newspaper reports.

So basically it’s toothless posturing and only real consequences is that they get sent to the state capitol to go back to work.

I feel the same way. I understand the people who say “fuck ‘em”, but I believe in second chances for most things (some of the more extreme crimes and actions are open for debate).

I’m not really sure myself how to break through the brainwashing but I saw an interesting article on here a few days ago about that same topic. I currently can’t remember the title but I’ll do a quick search when I finish my comment.

The gist of the article was, attacking people with facts doesn’t work but asking open ended questions that force the other person to explore why they think a certain thing to be true. My quick take on it is, they need to self reflect and not just feel.

It’s the in the title, Food Network star Anne Burrell. I don’t watch the Food Network so I’m not totally sure who she is but there’s also a picture in the article and she looks familiar.

Yes, because no one else wants it, including: lawmakers, preservationists, and the public. It was a design by committee project that the public had no real say in what it would be or look like. No one liked it when it was finally unveiled.

It was supposed to have info panels on it and the reason it’s so goofy is because that area is designated at a National Landmark so it was designed to comply with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for preservation.

I don’t mind the sentiment of linking the state with the city but yes, that bridge is a waste of money and only detracts from the space.

Pizza - noun - a dish made typically of flattened bread dough spread with a savory mixture usually including tomatoes and cheese and often other toppings and baked

-Merriam-Webster Dictionary

That’s what I see here, I don’t see the tomatoes specifically but there’s a lot of cheese that might be covering those tomatoes. Even if there are no tomatoes, the definition uses the term “usually” which is not always.

What constitutes a pizza to you?

To be fair, I would be mildly infuriated if I was expecting a pizza with popular toppings and I opened a box to find this.

I didn’t mean to come off as a jerk, I’m just sensitive to the snark that gets thrown around over stupid things like this. I’ve seen those jokey comments about pineapple on pizza turn into personal attacks in real life just because someone was trying to defend a food they think tastes good. Of course the people who did that were “just joking”. Pineapple (or pickles) on pizza isn’t my thing but my girlfriend loves Hawaiian pizza and I’ll happily enjoy the leftovers.

Pickle pizza isn’t my thing but someone likes it, good for them. Move on and let people enjoy things.

I thought it was always spelled Raiden, found this on Wikipedia and when the article says “this way” that means with an AI instead of a Y

Raiden’s name was spelled this way in all of the original arcade games and in every game since Mortal Kombat 4. However, the PC and console ports released until Mortal Kombat Trilogy, along with both movies and the TV series, changed the name to “Rayden”, fearing the original spelling would lead to trademark issues from Seibu Kaihatsu’s shoot 'em up game Raiden. Ed Boon personally hated that Acclaim spelled it with a Y.

Needs a Raiden

I hope they had enough food and water in there.

Eh, my 78 year old aunt who uses two canes to get around because she refuses to use a walker has been to a few different protests this year in the deep red state of West Virginia. I get what you’re saying about limitations and maybe we’ll reach that point sooner or later but I don’t think we’re at the run away to save yourself part yet unless you’re an immigrant or trans.

I also understand wanting to get out before shit goes sideways but again, I don’t think we’re there yet. Maybe I’m wrong but I hope not.

I haven prescription sunglasses. Generally I don’t wear them inside, occasionally I’ll forget that I have them until after I’m in the store though. My eyesight without glasses is terrible so I leave them on. Sorry if I look like an asshole but I would have trouble navigating my way and finding what I need without them.
