  • Vegeta killed Yamcha once, and Buu killed him a second time.

    Technically it wasn’t even Vegeta, it was just the little green men that Vegeta and Nappa had seeds for.

    Krillian was actually alive to see that death.

    As for the death by Buu, that was being turned to chocolate and then being eaten.

    Krillian still has him beat on number of deaths, picking up an extra death on planet Namak.




  • Trump didn’t force Netanyahu into a ceasefire, that’s a blatant lie.

    The two announced a ceasefire and then, never actually ceased firing. So yeah, I’ll agree that a fake ceasefire was never a possibility under Biden, because he would never have gone along with it.

    Also, the reports are still saying that Harris was not a fan of Biden’s policy on Israel. So yes, the worse option is so much fuck worse than the alternative. The worse option is speedrunning the genocide, trying for a new record of innocents killed in the shortest timeframe.





  • Is the leader alive or not? Alive is likely a cult, dead is usually religion.

    The next question is how isolated from friends and family or society at large are the members. More isolated is more likely to be a cult.

    Other than that, there’s not much difference.

    The usual setup is a cult is formed and then the second or third leader opens things up a bit and transitions it into just another religion… But sometimes a cult can be born from a religion as a small group breaks off to follow a charismatic leader.


  • Honestly, the orange soda that we think of might be Crush, which debuted in 1911.

    Tang would also like a word.

    But really, the most popular orange based drink, is just orange juice. That or Mountain Dew, which is lemon, lime, and orange plus lots of sugar and caffeine.


  • Companies open subdivisions in other countries. These subdivisions are often responsible for full operations in that country.

    Coca-Cola opened a subsidiary in Germany sometime after the end of the first world war. (My Google fu has failed me)

    The main company stopped sending syrup to Germany after 1939 or so, but didn’t close it’s German subdivision. The German plant manager then created Fanta out of ingredients that were available to Germany during the war.

    And then after WW2 ended, the main Coca-Cola company regained control of their German subdivision, and adopted Fanta as a brand.

    As a note here, Coke was one of a bunch of American companies that were extremely friendly with the Nazis.







  • My guess is that at first it will be a first or second generation citizen. Someone who grew up in a Spanish speaking household.

    And the right wing will spin it as “deporting the anchor baby”.

    After the corrupt supreme court erases the 14th amendment, the gloves will come off.

    Especially with the firing of the NSA director. The guy who was limiting Peter Theil’s spy company from having unlimited access to data collected on US citizens.
