Wat. Rifling dates to the 16th Century. It was just prohibitively expensive before the mid-1800s so most troops were equipped with smoothbore muskets.

My sister-in-laws parents were washing their ground beef. Not like, in the plastic wrapping or anything semi-sane like that. They were taking the ground beef out of its package and washing it with soap and water.

your vexillologous ditty is dubious

It only applies to Germany.

My favorite is the Deadpool reaction shorts. Like, you don't even get a face.

I mean, in the age of muskets and field cannons they didn't really shoot at anybody in particular since the guns were not very accurate. They probably did try to hit the bagpipe dudes, though.

It helps a bit if you toast them. That's what the "pop" part means.

Dude has an iron-clad defense, though. Said it's only abuse if the child is the same sex and he likes women/girls. I really wish I were making that up.

Edit: wow, I actually totally misunderstood his absurd defense. He actually said "sexual deviancy is directed towards one sex rather than two" and since he's attracted to women (when the victim here was a boy) he can't possibly be a sex offender. I think we've finally found something so far gone that even MAGAts can't support it.

And made the Mussolini stank face at the same time.

Still nowhere near as bad as Fergie's rendition.

"I love gay men. Without them, us fat chicks would have nobody to dance with." -Roseanne Barr

Her descent into right-wingity was really tragic. Roseanne was one of the few series to genuinely show what life for working-class people is really like.

I used to work for Comcast and one of my responsibilities was making sure their mobile apps passed their annual accessibility tests. The company faced enormous FCC fines for failure to pass these tests, but somehow the only person aware of this was me and I was only a contractor. Comcast has thousands of vice presidents of this and that, and one of them should have been on top of this stuff, but their turnover rate was so high that they never usually even lasted a year in one position, so it was up to me to explain the situation to each new one and try to convince them that it was even important.

You wouldn't think that a person at that level would ever say "who cares about blind people?" but they almost all said that or something to that effect, until the reality of a million-dollars-per-month fine set in. They even at one point hired a vice president of accessibility -- a man who was himself blind and obviously never said "who cares about blind people?" -- but he quit after less than a year because of his frustration with getting the company to give a shit.
