Europeans live exclusively off of a starvation diet of butter, bread, and cheese. Hence why they constantly whine about it in America, they think it's the only edible thing there is. If they do not have their bread, butter, and cheese they will resort to eating guns.

So that's why my local bougie international supermarket has a huge section dedicated to weird types of European butter. Europeans only eat toast

TALK TO ME. Given what we already know about diet and its importance in creating, maintaining and repairing the body, it should be obvious that soldiers need high quality food. I notice how many ex combat soldiers have horribly eroded joints and other permeant wear-and-tear injuries… how much of that could be avoided with proper nutrition? But combat soldiers are usually white men, so you know how that goes (not that anyone in the military should be given goyslop).

According to my dad (an army vet), the best food he had while in the army was Burger King He said the regular food was gross af, best one was chicken 'cause you could just cover it in flavored sauce.

It's true! That's also why whenever they drink something they dedicate a "toast". They think it's liquid bread and butter.

My American brothers when you invade Canada, please force the French to adopt English or fuck off back to France. Day of the rake can't come soon enough?

The Education Department is offering a buyout of up to $25,000 to many of its employees.

An email from the agency’s top human resources official states employees have until Monday at 11:59 p.m. to decide if they want to accept the one-time offer.

The email said the offer is in advance of a “very significant reduction in force.”

Eligible employees include those who have worked for the federal government for at least three years.

They also cannot have received a student loan repayment benefit in the last three years.

The resignations would take effect at the end of the month.

The offer comes as the Republican-controlled Senate is set to vote on the nomination of Linda McMahon as education secretary on Monday.

..uh, what does "guns and butter" mean? Is this some weird British euphemism? More educated Kiwis, help me out - I can't find anything about it on Google (aside from a warning about not lubricating your guns with Cocoa Butter, it will cause buildu

You know, the buddah gun, the gun wid da buddah awn it.

I think it's both. The military decides to contract out feeding the troops to the cheapest third-party company, and that third-party company just so happens to have political connections.

After some brief research, it's apparently a company called Sysco. They made $78 billion for the 2024 fiscal year. Their largest shareholder is Nelson Peltz, who is apparently a longtime friend of US Senator Joe Manchin. He was also a reluctant Trump voter, because he hated Biden's immigration policy. So, it seems like he's one of those pro-Zionist neocons, in terms of personal politics.

I know plenty of Kiwis are more autistic than me and could probably find more connections. The whole situation just reeks of greed and

They are also responsible for a vast majority of the shitty school lunches served in public schools from the '90s through probably even now. We're talking about the basement tier crap you wouldn't even feed to a pig

No can do, sorry. We will force them all to learn and speak Cajun. If you're going to speak French, it's going to be AMERICAN French.

Wonder if they'll make snide, snarky posts on reddit like the last bunch of feds given the same offer did before they got shitcanned with no parachute.

Oh that sucks, with the bread and butter gone they can’t even slap a gun between some buttered bread and make a “gun butty.”

Not gonna lie, former Trump voter here. This is fucking hilarious watching Trump crash and burn. But in all seriousness we can't let this guy get the nuclear codes.

gr8 b8 m8 i r8 8/8.
dusting off a classic, to great effect. good one.

It's crazy to me that the bait you fell for from 2015 still works.

Amazing how many political newfriends don't remember that and are trashcanning you

The number of people who didn't seem to get this copypasta is disturbing.

It really was the most appropriate thing that could happen upon unlocking the thread. Like its what we deserve, on a couple of levels.

Mmm cheeky butty and lovely, lovely… chippy.

Wow, $25,000 is a complete fucking insult; couldn't happen to a nicer, more hardworking group of public servants dedicated to enriching the lives of our nation's children.

Total Euro Death, I am here for it.

Even Trump is telling USPG2 to stop Ukraine-sperging.

cancer's not rare, numbnuts

Edit: productive contribution to the thread tax. Article says 30 million Americans are afflicted with rare diseases; because even though individual ones affect few people, there are many. Some are probably fake and gay, but definitely not all. I'm no doctor, I bet @GenociderSyo has a better take on this (I always like your writeups from psychiatric conferences and such that you attend), but this shit could be important, and maybe it should come back. I know, plan is to cut, then bring back what's necessary; that means we have to actually pay attention and complain if something good gets hit.
