Which rebels are these? Some are probably worse than Assad.

Mexican actress Marcela Alcázar Rodríguez, 33, died December 1st, after ingesting Kambo, a poisonous Amazonian frog venom, during a "spiritual cleansing" ritual retreat.

Is it technically venom and not a poison, since it excreted through the skin of the frog instead of delivered by bite or sting?

Meaning of Hegseth's Bronze Stars.
Zapped 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 1 day ago

The author implied that the Bronze Stars, in Hegeth's case, were symbolic of the campaign and not for bravery, and by extension, he was just another officer in back of the lines in a support role. They are trying to weaken the meaning of the Bronze Star in the minds of the readers to weaken the armor of Hegseth's military career. Look at the official headline, "Bronze Stars, like those Hegseth earned, are common among military officers".

Ok. Let's take the Bronze Star out of the discussion. The guy was in a combat zone with the constant threat of being killed. One has to ask what the motivation and background of those critics are. I was told that when you buy a used car, you constantly point out flaws in the car to nickel-and-dime the price of the car down. If you can point out a lot of minor, usually meaningless/superficial flaws, it tricks the buyer into lowering the price by a large amount. I think this is what the TDS afflicted are trying to do with Trump's cabinet nominees.

President Biden pardons his son Hunter Biden
Zapped 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun 6 days ago

Joe Biden is basically admitting that Hunter committed crimes back then. At the very least, he is admitting that he did some shady stuff that could get him in trouble.

Would you give the electric company access to your house to shut off your hot water heater whenever they wanted? ~ They sent me an email telling me it's a great idea.... But I don't want strangers remotely turning off devices in my house.... and my water heater uses gas (not electricity).

They will also put a remote switch on your HVAC as well, so they can turn your AC off for periods, causing it to work harder to catch up. I would never allow them to do this. It will cost you more than the subsidy they pay you to allow it.

I get it. True, but still wholesome. I can see where some think it's condescending, though.

I've seen a couple of these cryptic posts this week that are one-off from new usernames. Maybe they are trying to get past the automod.

The mod saw colors, while the OP did not mention it. The mod is racist against black people for assuming that most of them are rude instead of it being the exception.

Because the mod didn't want to explain around why the mod was being racist. It's like the little Johnny joke where he tells the teacher, "No, the answer is a dollar bill, but I like the way you're thinking".
