oh yeah...it's an overpriced meal to make people feel special.
Not really.
Depends on your definition of ripped off. Rich people just want to spend money. It's only a rip off if they're being marketed as good deals. No, this is marketed towards "you're rich and have money that the plebs don't"
What she's getting is more than just food. It's a statement.
What's the difference between a $200 bottle of wine, and a $2000 bottle of wine? $1800.
They're just rich people trying to spend money to feel better about themselves.
I don't know about $77 good.

Don't be ridiculous. Adding bread to that meal means a lot more food, it's going to bump the cost well above a Benjamin.

That's not going to happen, carbs are unfashionable. That steak looks bad though, what did it ever do to anybody?
You can make your own for less than $15.

Media bleaching the picture of the latest school shooter
Is this real? Don't doubt that it is, but I want to verify before I start sending to people

I don't know about that particular photo, but I noticed several news articles I was reading on CNN, NBC, and ABC all showed elementary school photos of the shooter when he was a child instead of any of the widely available recent photos.

In my opinion...school shootings should be treated like a suicide. Why? So we keep the idea out of the public conscious and give people ideas. Sure reporting it happened is fine. Reporting the facts is good but going over the shooters history? No don't do that reduce him to State man or State woman. Like they do with other crimes.
Florida man wrestles gator. Wins 2 out of 3 matches. New York man convicted of Embezzlement. Ohio Woman charged with being public nuisance. Don't sensationalize the damn event.

You know all the casuals who believe there's a lot of commonality between the German Stg44 and the Russian Ak-47?
Yeah turns out it's actually the direct ancestor of America's rifle, the AR-15!
The Washington Posts Marc Fischer reports on how the rifle of Nazi Stormtroopers evolved into the School Shooter weapon of choice.

And now you're a Nazi for owning an AR!
they want their political enemies to be helpless so they can murder them more easily.

David Weissman, former Trumper who saw the light and became a progressive Democrat, was displeased at how Elon Musk was winning votes so he put up his own poll to show AOC was more popular.
As of this moment, AOC has less than 20% of the votes.
Of course, the cope is strong with them. Some favorite comments:

So... does that make environmentalists and pro-infrastructure spending people crypto-Nazis, then? Because, as I understand it, the Reich was one of the first to pass meaningful conservation laws to protect German forests, and the Autobähn only got going under Nazi rule.
But, then again, logical fallacies (i.e., "guilt by association") haven't stopped propagandists before, nor their naive followers from guzzling it up, regurgitating it to likeminded sheeple elsewhere, and cultivating voting patterns that lead America horribly astray in the long run.
