I picked up a bunch of those bacon wrapped tenderloins from the local Kroger. They were on sale so I froze a few but ate one on Sunday. I typically sous vide steaks and sear them later in the day before serving, this way I don’t overcook since the center is exactly a 118 degrees medium rare. Slow cooked bacon is weird. It occurred to me I had fresh bacon on hand, and perhaps next time I’ll re-wrap when I go to sear. Anyone else try this?
Enlaces!
Cue the Doors song. This is the end…of Title 42. Here’s why its the worst thing in the world, and we’re ALL GOING TO DIE in a stampede of third world migrants looking to steal everything you are worth. Here’s why its a good thing. In the end haven’t they pretty much been here the entire time?
Mexico’s central bank took a slightly more aggressive approach to this “inflation” thing that happened unexpectedly. Since they don’t count food or fuel in the calculation either, its just as meaningless a measure as it is here.
Why does OnlyFans see Latin America as an emerging market? Probably because its a reliable region where men still prefer women without a penis?

White pill, anyone? The magnitude of the win for Pinochetistas means they could almost vote him back from the dead.
Bolvia mourns the passing of a real hero. I’m not being cute, this man was a goddamn hero.
This is good day for Megadeth. I skipped the in video ad.
They come from the store raw but already wrapped?
I’ve never sous vided anything, but I used to work a broiler for a living.
I’ve seen such items frequently at our local stores.
If it’s the same Kroger product I had the other night, yes. One of the best steaks I’ve ever had. Mine was grilled by a friend on a gas (don’t hate) grill.
*insert Hank Hill gif*
Nothing against gas. Every steakhouse uses gas.
My dad says butane is a bastard gas – Bobby Hill
Gas is for godless heathens like me.
I both use, and produce gas.
Gas grills are mostly superior to charcoal.
Not for jerk chicken, heathen.
Heheh. I did throw a qualifier in there. For steaks I actually think a cast iron (whether on a grill or on a stovetop) is generally a superior method. I like the more uniform crust. Reverse seared if thick with oven starting it out for an hour.
Yes. They come wrapped and vacuum sealed so they last longer and freeze better if needed. The are tiny God sends.
“Probably because its a reliable region where men still prefer women without a penis?”
There are plenty of MTF on OF.
Also, some people consider Brazil “Latin America” even though they speak porkchop.
It’s not Hispanic, but it is Latin.
This. My Brazilian wife is very particular about that.
Just had a thought, Pie could identify as Latino if he were to submit his green card app…
We’ve been playing the long game.
We’ve checked “Latino” on every form we’ve ever had to fill out for school. My kids do have Brazilian passports, and Lady Muzzled speaks Portuguese to them exclusively at home. But really to call them anything other than white is a farce. But we know it means they’ll have advantages they’d never get if mom were from Indianapolis and not Sao Paolo.
Hell yeah.
I see nothing wrong with taking advantage of that while opposing it.
I don’t think it includes every romance language.
Probably not. There are 5.
Italian
Spanish
French
Portuguese
Romanian
You don’t generally hear the frogs being referred to as “Latin.”
Considering the complete stupidity of it, I would say that anyone who speaks a language derived from Latin eligible.
I mean, it isn’t like there are serious qualifiers to it.
Portugal is in Hispania, also known as Ibernia.

One night in Bangkok…
Dammit, earworm.
*shakes fist at KSuell*
Heheh. I once spent a night going around the bars of Patpong with a friend who really wanted to see sex in a Tuk Tuk. She dragged me (although I was pretty pliable) to about 6 or 7 places where we saw all sorts of things besides sex in a Tuk Tuk. Some of the MtFs were very convincing. We noticed that the labia majora was cut higher on them than the naturals. Don’t know if that’s typical or just a Thai sex change thing.
GAY!
Pretty sure it’s not gay if she has tits dude.
So, Schumer is cool?
Not even on I e
Being attracted to Chuck Schumer isn’t gay or straight. It just makes you a vile human being.

Of all the places you could’ve gone with that you had to go there.
“ice, dammit, ice”
I read it as “Not even on e”. If Chuck Schumer starts looking good to you, that must be some roll.

Nope. I am not a hipster.
This guy gets it.
Your loss. Mexi has it right – sous vide for steak is da bomb. Mrs. Dean does it the way he describes.
I don’t see the point. If you want it more rare, just cook it for less time on higher heat.
The margin of error is much bigger with sous vide, and the results much more reliable.
For cuts that aren’t as tender as a filet, extra time in the sous vide doesn’t overcook them at all, but can make them more tender.
“The margin of error is much bigger with sous vide, and the results much more reliable.”
I never tried it, but that does sound plausible. Otoh, if you cook enough steaks, you can tell how cooked they are by tapping them.
Sous vide is also nice if you have different sizes of steaks. Put them in the bath, and they’ll all be done the same amount when you’re done.
This. It makes it very easy to make a shitty cut better.
If you have a really nice thick steak, a reverse-sear gives you a consistent temp/color from crust to crust. The traditional cook means you get pink-to-red-to-pink.
Yup, reverse sear is the bomb for thicker steaks. I’ve never cooked sous vide, but you can’t go wrong with a fat ribeye on 200 for an hour or so and then dropped into a smoking hot cast iron for 60 seconds a side. Finish with some melted butter, garlic and a sprig of rosemary on top.
Sous Vide is the Prius of cooking. It looks like cooking, but it’s boiling.
Fight me!
No fight from me. I call my neighbor’s pellet grill an Easy Bake Oven.
If the water is boiling, your sous vide stick is set to way too high of a temperature. Now, there are fully electric brew rigs out there that will get 10 gallons of wort to a roiling boil, but that’s a different beast entirely.
The water is just a heat transfer medium, like the air in your oven (but far more consistent). It doesn’t make contact with the food. It’s not boiling.
If you put steaks in the oven, I really don’t know what to say at that point.
Reverse sear haz a sad.
A commie government going after personal gun ownership. What could possibly go wrong after that?
Who would win a primary between Trump and Reagan?
The dead vote so why not run for office?
Ignoring term limits, I’m thinking Reagan could beat Biden in the general.
Zombie Reagan will not be stopped by term limits.
Reagan. The party bosses decided he was a god after they kept him from the nomination the first time and after he turned out to be a typical capitulating asshat. He’d get all of the party money and support. Trump’s delegates would get the Ron Paul treatment if necessary.
Reagan would trounce him.
Reagan late second term maybe not — but first term / late ’70s Reagan? He’d clean his clock by keeping up with him in debates but still having clear policies and plans unlike “I want to avenge myself on anyone who butthurt me and let everyone who kisses my ass do whatever they want” as current Trump is.
this
Well, CA would pass a law waiving the statute of limitations, and washed up actresses would be lined up around the block to accuse the Gipper of raping them, so he’d have to deal with that.
Not to mention his SAG presidency during HUAC.
Need to sear extra hot if you leave the bacon on the steak in the bath. But leaving it on the steak infuses more of the bacon to the steak.
One thing I thought about doing would be using a torch (creme brulee style) to finish the bacon.
Hmm
These euphemisms.
They come vacuum packed. Did you sous vide them in the package?
I take them out so I can pre-season, but have done some steaks directly in the packaging. Did not work all that great.
I think they package them in a brine solution.
Do you sous vide people ever get concerned about plastic leaching into your food? I know the temps aren’t that high, but it still feels weird to me.
You could cook a rare steak using the hottest setting on your tap if your water heater was big enough, so no.
Yes. That’s why I don’t use it all the time. For salmon – always. For steak – rarely.
For steak – rarely
Gonna need a ruling from the judges on this one.
Given the medium he is using, I’m gonna give it a pass.
Oh, well done, sir. Well done!
We don’t sous vide in the store packaging – we’ve thought about it, but yeah, that plastic may be different than the ziploc bags we use.
I don’t worry about it. If plastic is going to leach into your food at 130 degrees, it’s going to leach into it room temp.
As I understand it, it’s much less about the plastic itself and more about the sealant/glue and the integrity of the package under heat. E.g., superglue is rated at max 135-149; I routinely cook at 155.
Bacon wrapped anything is good. I never had much luck getting the bacon wrapped around a steak to cook right. I have had good luck roasting or smoking a bacon wrapped pork loin, as long as it’s either on a rack or it’s rotated so the bacon on the bottom isn’t soggy.
I gave up eating pork a long time ago, but soggy bacon defeats the purpose.
The rack is an important thing to get crisp bacon on the bottom. Do you do a normal wrap, or a bacon weave?
For a loin I do the weave. It looks great and keeps the bacon from falling off, especially if you flip it.
I generally stick with the weave just for extra bacon, and ease of wrapping.
For another treat, you can do something along these lines.

If you check the dead thread, I answered your question about where that bit you mentioned about new presidents being shown alternate footage of the JFK assassination came from.
Thank you. Once I’m done with the training class of the day, I’ll need to listen to see how close I got it from memory.
The original is a bit more verbose, but you got it pretty much dead on.
I’ll accept my misses from memory. I could hear it in his voice too, which is what was really driving me mad.
I like bacon and I like steak, but I like each one so much that I prefer to enjoy them separately.
This is correct.
“The Bolivian officer who shot and killed Che Guevara was Mario Terán, who died last year.”
R.I.P.
“Che Guevara was executed in the Bolivian village of La Higuera, 830km (516 miles) south of La Paz, and his body was buried in a secret location. In 1997 his remains were discovered, exhumed and returned to Cuba, where he was reburied.”
After communism falls, the line to take a piss is going to be huge.
And yet Lenin is still in his mausoleum in Red Square.
They’re not Spaniards.
If lefties can’t admit that communism has failed yet, I doubt they ever will. If Cuba becomes a failed state, give them 6 months before they’re proposing it again like it’s a brand new idea. The promise of free everything will always appeal to simpletons.
Based. RIP.
The BBC, of course, leads with a headline naming Che Guevara first.
When I first got on Facebook about 10 years ago, I very briefly used my wife’s account to see what it was all about. She had a friend from HS who was so happy about her 4-6 year old daughter wearing a Che shirt.
Having several Cuban friends, and having heard countless stories from abuelita about the horrors of the Castro regime, I put in my 2 cents about him being a murderer. As an Argentinian who already leans left a good ways, she defended Che as a hero and blasted me.
Fast forward to when “Cuba Libre” came out on Netflix, and all of a sudden my wife tells me that, after having watched that series, her friend wanted to offer an apology to me. That she finally had learned the truth about the piece of shit, and not the communist tale.
It gave me hope that people can learn.
White pill, anyone? The magnitude of the win for Pinochetistas means they could almost vote him back from the dead.
I’m very tempted to post “Suck it, commies!” on that twitter feed, but in the name of decorum, I shall refrain.
From the Twitter replies:
“How did it happen? How did Chile go from a very progressive proposed constitution to this?”
I wonder if an endless cycle of lefty politicians promising bountiful utopia and delivering limitless corruption, poverty and oppression instead has anything to do with it?
No, that can’t be it. Socialism works in theory…..
So he is admitting that his party’s attempt was a vendetta?
Sure sounds like it. But ultimately, he’s right.
Yes, he is. But he is making it clear that that is not what they were trying for.
“Look, we don’t get up in the morning and say ‘let’s have vendetta’. They just happen. Natural causes.”
‘please don’t weaponize the government and constitution against us like we were doing to you’
I have mixed feelings.
Here’s why its a good thing.
“If we just quit deporting people, eventually no one will be left to enter”
Well, we’ve stopped deporting the vast majority of illegals under the pretext that they are “refugees”. So I guess we’re halfway there.
Refugee = anyone that would get a frowny face if asked to leave.
My neighbor is offering to trade my Taurus Judge for a Glock 43. He would give me $250 in addition to the Glock, plus conceal holster and 3 mags. Good trade? I love the feel of the Glock in my hand, and it’s great for conceal. I would shoot the Glock before purchase, of course.
Great trade. I’d do it in a heartbeat. The Judge is a nifty conversation piece, but it ain’t really all that great of a gun. I keep mine in the drawer next to the bed and hardly ever take it out anymore.
The 43 is a lot easier to carry, as well.
Sounds like it’s slanted in your favor.
Are you saying she should Grock this deal?
I’ll show myself out.
That reads like a story problem from the Glibs homeschool curriculum.
I’d take that trade, but make sure you like how the Glock shoots.
Very very good trade, assuming you shoot the Glock okay (I personally dont.)
Dooo eeeeet.
In God we trust. All others we trans.
Retired U.S. Navy Commander Julianna Vida slammed one Republican Party lawmaker’s criticism of the Navy officially using a drag queen to boost recruitment for the military branch.
In a statement provided to Fox News Digital this week, Vida said that Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s assessment that the Navy has become “preoccupied with identity politics” is “destructive” and “undermines” the Navy’s methods of recruiting new members.
Vida, who was in the Navy for over 30 years and currently servers on the Naval Academy Alumni Association Board of Trustees, defended the Navy’s use of drag queen recruiting ads as a “critical” method of welcoming “traditionally excluded segments of our population.”
I say go for it. Let’s see what this does to that deficit in recruiting numbers.
The Navy has always quiet marketed itself to gays, anyway. It’s just out in the open now with this.
That’s not marketing to gay people. From what I’ve seen, most gay dudes who are actually the types to join up aren’t big fans of this stuff.
Exactly. The often contradictory preferences of the gay and trans community are finally really starting make cracks in the coalition. The idea that all QUILTBAGS want the same thing is as laughable as the idea that Ethiopian immigrants and Jamaican immigrants want the same things or Irish decedents and Russian decedents should be grouped together as Caucasians and be polled together because of skin color. Identity politics and and forcing people into coalitions without asking anyone their preferences has been a hallmark of progressivism since it’s inception.
Have fun meeting enlistment quotas with that 1% of the population then while you’re pissing off and demonizing at least 40% of the country (especially your traditional military families) then.
My guess? They feel they have enough of the ‘go along’ crowd to carry out the social media screeching against those who are against it to carry this forward.
Do the math, you knob. The “traditionally excluded” transers are a fraction of a percent. The normies who will be put off by the Navy actively recruiting transers is a much larger group. You will be net negative on recruitment. Which you tacitly admit by whining about somebody pointing out the obvious.
Which explains why recruitment numbers were so good before Tuberville’s remarks.
Also, Tommy Tuberville sounds like a made up name. He’s the Art Vandelay of senators.
Tommy Tuberville is a former football coach. Did he manage to coach 3 different SEC teams?
Nope, just 2. For some reason I thought he coached Arkansas.
1995-1998 Ole Miss
1999-2008 Auburn
2010-2012 Texas Tech
2013-2016 Cincinnati
Given how bad all the services recruiting efforts are going to end up this year, maybe the Navy is trying to find something to place the blame on.
He could have at least lip synced that Village People song.
“We don’t smoke, and we don’t chew, and we don’t play with the boys that do…”
I reverse sear in bacon grease. But I’m pretty basic.
But Che was so dreamy.
I picked up a bunch of those bacon wrapped tenderloins from the local Kroger.
I was looking at those at Fred Meyer the other day, but more likely than not I’d fuck it up and end up with something nearly inedible. Eating has become more of a task than a pleasure. I’m definitely not interested in turning cooking into a big deal.
Shocker – Trump lost his civil suit for sexual assault against the ugly woman in NYC. Apparently he got tired of all that supermodel action and decided to assault a 3.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/jury-finds-asdf-trump-rape-accuser-defamation-case
The only jury pool that would be more tainted than NYC’s would be in DC. Maybe LA or SF.
It’s also curious that you could find that he’s not guilty of raping her, but find him guilty of lesser accusations. She’s either credible or not.
I suppose you could argue the “victim” doesn’t really know the distinction between rape and sexual assault.
That distinction has become the ultimate moving goal post. Remember a few years ago when D politicians were going around claiming that 20% of college girls have been sexually assaulted? Biden was one of them. Turns out that that claim was based off a single poll taken at a liberal arts college and that the poll explicitly included verbal harassment or exposure to unwanted comments as sexual assaults? To say the line is being intentionally blurred would be 100x more generous than the people doing this actually deserve.
He was found guilty of being Trump. Up next, the important trial accusing Trump of being Trump, and after that, the blockbuster trial in which Trump gets the chance to prove he’s innocent of being Trump.
He should now sue her for defamation. Even a New York jury just ruled she was wrong to call him a rapist.
“E. Jean Carroll emerges grinning from civil court after jury found Trump DID sexually abuse her in Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s: Ex-President is cleared of rape but ordered to pay her $5m damages”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12065045/Jury-finds-Donald-Trump-sexually-abused-E-Jean-Carroll.html
Duper’s delight.
The most ridiculous argument that Trump has caused her any damages.
Clearly she is more in the spotlight now than ever.
Well, I’m a bad person, so I hope Trump appeals and she dies before she sees a dime.
She still has her claim that Les Moonves raped her. Although, the lefty billionaire that funded her Trump fight isn’t funding that suit as there is no political payoff in doing so.
Presidential rape accusations and sexual impropriety? I thought we MovedOn from that way back in the ’90s?
The magnitude of the win for Pinochetistas means they could almost vote him back from the dead.
When I saw the stories about the “right wing” victory, I just assumed they were garden variety democratic socialists rather than disciples of Pol Pot.
This cunte is still talking and lying.
Cheney’s PAC, The Great Task, paid for the ad “Risk,” which first aired Tuesday morning, as NBC News reported. Cheney does not appear in the effort but narrates as footage from the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riots plays throughout the majority of the ad.
“Donald Trump is the only president in American history who has refused to guarantee the peaceful transfer of power,” Cheney, who co-chaired the now-defunct January 6 Select Committee, says. “He lost the election, and he knew it. He betrayed millions of Americans by telling them the election was stolen. He ignored the ruling of dozens of courts.”
Never trust a politician who can’t say what a woman is
“‘What is a woman?’ is the most essential political question of our times.”
Honestly, I think it’s a stupid gotcha question, like “Black lives matter, or all lives matter?”
How? If you use a word you should be able to define it, especially when it is used in law.
From “their” perspective anyway, it’s someone who identifies as an adult human female. Still an absurd definition, but it is at least slightly less circular.
I think it’s a very revealing question when posed to the party is launching a full on assault on how the term is used, and in which they will ruin you if you use it in a way they deem inappropriate. These are the self-anointed experts on the matter who would deign to dictate to the rest of us how to use these words.
Asking them to define the term is hardly a gotcha. It exposes them for the frauds that they are. Most of them can’t even come up with a word salad answer to the question to try and justify their beliefs let alone something coherent that the rest of us would believe and understand.
I think both of those questions aren’t gotchas at all, but legitimately expose the bankruptcy of the Left.

Nobody is coming for your gas stoves.
https://twitter.com/DCAttorneyGen/status/1655656702614577167
“…which emit pollutants that have a disparate negative impact on children & underserved communities…”
Okay Brian, walk me through this disparate impact. Poor people live in tiny little apartments where natural gas doesn’t diffuse as readily?
Children and underserved communities are known to be gas huffing degenerates.
See, I’ve seen more electric appliances in cheaper housing, myself. So how are po folk disparately impacted by appliances they are less likely to use?
I was thinking the same.
You think they are going to be truthful in their quest to the Stone Ages for everyone but themselves?
They don’t need evidence. “______________ disparately negatively impacts minorities & anyone that will garner sympathy to support our cause” is a conclusion any grant recipient worth his/her/xer salt can tease out of any data.
As someone pointed out, due to house fires, electric stoves are much more dangerous than gas stoves.

I haven’t watched Tucker Carlson since he was a bowtie-wearing loudmouth on Crossfire, but I would have liked to see him launch his own platform a-la Glenn Beck with his Blaze media properties, to be honest. He’s got a large enough following to have made a bit of a dent in the centralized media landscape. The fact that even a name brand political celebrity like him is going to piggyback off Twitter, especially after what’s happened there in the past, is kind of depressing.
Eh, it’s not a lifetime commitment – Twitter can handle the traffic and it’s ready to go, right now.
He may still spin up his own thing further down the road.
Tucker already cashed out of one media site he helped create, did he not? Who says he wants the headaches of running another right wing news site when he can just do his own thing and cash checks?
I’m surprised he picked Twitter, but it makes sense. There’s going to be a lot of howling as the lefties are forced to be exposed to him on a nightly basis.
Nice tie in to the previous post, no?
Musk has hinted that he wants to grow Twitter into a bigger platform with video. Tucker with his built in audience was a godsend for that, if Musk wants to make his move now. Sounds like does.
👆👆👆
Musk is going to throw money at it and will probably stay out of the way. Makes sense to me.
Lol, and now all the lefties who quit twitter will have to rejoin so they can yell at him.
Once again proving my point that Fox is controlled opposition; he, in his words, “bumped against the boundaries” too many times.
Apparently, the case against Trump was a parade of women who accused him of being mean to them in some way or another.
The “I guess it coulda happened that way” legal strategy.
I think the biggest piece of evidence she had is calling her friends at the time and saying it happened. But the two women could easily be lying and it’s not huge evidence
Or just remembering things the way they want.
Like I said before, apply the same standard to Tara Reade.
So surely one of those women can narrow down what year it happened, right? Right?
It’s their truth.
How? If you use a word you should be able to define it, especially when it is used in law.
Like “What is a woman?” in the specific context of…
WOMEN’s sports.
WOMEN’s locker/rest room.
WOMEN’s college.

Next will be to strip any lineage honors for Confederate tainted units. Maybe they can have mass hangings of effigies or exhumed remains to show those stupid fuckers like Grant what should have been done then.
Yeah, sure, why not? Transsexuals being hired to try to boost recruitment, renaming forts, and we haven’t really won a war since WWII. Good to know they have their priorities in order although Cavazos does sound like he was a good general.
Being that he stood out in a time well before being not-white was a decided advantage for military recognition, I’d say he was probably an excellent general.
Why not? They got their named murder victim gate there.
So I may be entertaining a buyout offer on my business. I’ve never been through this process so I’m cramming as fast as I can. It will be educational if nothing else.

May it net you a small personal fortune and a consulting sinecure that continues to delight you into old age.
Fingers and toes crossed.
Drinks on you!
So I may be entertaining a buyout offer on my business.
A megacorp sector-consolidator?
Sort of, but not really. The big Cat.
Mothership or franchise dealer?
Unclear as of yet. It’s their largest dealer, which has been both independent and wholly owned over the years. I’m not sure how their rental business is formally structured.
Congrats! I hope it works out for you, whichever direction you end up. I imagine it must be a real kick to get validation for the business you’ve nurtured.
Thanks
It’s a bit overwhelming and distracting at the moment but it is also a good opportunity to evaluate where I am and what I want to do.
I’m thinking “Fawned over by bikini-clad babes on your yacht” might be on the list of what you want to do.
An evening Ray of Sunshine.
How sweet!
Change the settings for a faster launch, ffs.
Sorry. No idea how to do that, I was just glad to get a link that seemed to work. No idea who the trainer/original poster is; it showed up in one of the (closed) Keeshond groups I’m in. The dog’s happiness and excitement are a delight. Not a Keeshond, either; all of mine were of the “you threw it, you go get it” persuasion, which seems common in the breed.
Lol, I meant the pitching device!
/blush/
I’ve been making stupid mistakes like that all day. I blame NA and his cursed cards 😉
The big Cat.
Peoria?

You know what I found out recently? That the company that became Caterpillar started in Stockton, California.
Andres Galarraga.
The Tucker/Twitter freakout is better than I expected.

I am anti-emoticons, but if there was that befuddled Carlson face on every site, I’d use it.
Holy shit, it’s real:

What a joke.

So it is definitely a thing then. Either Fox News needs to hire better contract lawyers or Rupert is losing it and he torpedoed his own network for nothing-they didn’t even manage to shut him up through the election which was the whole point in the first place.
I can’t imagine his contract has much limiting what he can do on the socials. Hell, they want their talent to have big social media presences. Sounds like he’s going to be just another guy on Twitter (still) – Musk said there was no deal, he’d be, well, just another guy on Twitter. Regardless, he’s already fired a warning shot at Fox with a nastygram from his lawyers.
Fox was probably betting on YouTube deplatforming him if he tried to do it there. I’m thinking this is a very nifty end-run by Carlson. Who knows? He may even make bank with the revenue-sharing Musk mentioned.
LOL!

It’s a bit overwhelming and distracting at the moment but it is also a good opportunity to evaluate where I am and what I want to do.
All that work cleaning up the books might just pay off.
I’d forgotten about that. That goes so far beyond “lucky break” that it verges on divine intervention. Having due diligence show your books are trash would almost certainly kill the deal. Wasn’t she stealing, too, or am I thinking of something else?
I suppose we could be charitable and say sloppy and that certain personal outlays weren’t reimbursed back in a timely manner.
The former CMO and chief communications officer became OnlyFans’ CEO at the end of 2021 and has spent the year and a half since trying to “clear up misconceptions” about the platform.
“Misconceptions”.
These euphemisms.
When I see “CMO” I think “Chief Medical Officer”. Which would be super weird for the OnlyFans CEO.
It’s for all the talent with STDs.
Fictional Biography of John Rambo
He was born in 1946 and was inspired to join the Army from JFK’s speech about: ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.
After about 2 years of training, Rambo became an 18B, special forces weapons sergeant, and was sent to Vietnam. In 1968 during the Tet Offensive, he and the Hmong soldiers he trained fought with incredible bravery during the battle of Cho Ben Thanh. They fought to the last man and Rambo was captured. Rambo was brutally tortured, but somehow managed to escape. The experience left him with psychic wounds which made him unsuitable for military service. He got a Section 8 discharge and struggled to find a good civilian job. He became a drifter while trying to track down his old Army friends.
