Corn dogs are named for their traditional meat, the unicorn. As unicorns are now extinct, they can only be referred to properly as ‘Corn Dogs and not “Unicorn Dogs” as they were prior to 2009.
This is actually a common misconception! While the Unicorn Dog did exist and was discontinued following the extinction of unicorns in 2009, the Corn Dog is not a rebranding of the Unicorn Dog! The Corn Dog was created in 2003 by James H. Corn, though it remained a relatively unpopular Ohio treat until 2010 when Mr. Corn took the opportunity left by the Unicorn Dog’s exit from the market to take over the niche.
Gee, I thought these people were the ones who were like “If you don’t like it, you can just move to a blue state.”
And now they’re mad the guy is doing just that?
You can’t oppress and discriminate against someone then be mad when they take their highly useful skill elsewhere.
His point is basically that he’s going to go where he’s wanted. Guys like Brett realize, as he’s leaving that he’s actually beneficial to the society he’s leaving. If he wasn’t, Bret would be celebrating. This brain drain they’re fretting about is entirely of their own bigoted doing. If they’d thought about retaining great contributors to society instead of culture wars, there’d be no issue.
And the guy still is doing his job, by the way. Saving sick kids.
He just wants to do it in a state that doesn’t hate him and his family.
You know, now that I think about it, a properly programmed statistical analysis engine would result in a lot of cool movies getting greenlighted and about the same number of absolute flops. And a statistical analysis engine won’t sexually harass the talent, expense three-martini lunches, or whine about how they need another yacht because the first one has lost that new-yacht smell.
i’m in Ireland and the search for that bastards name is still blocked and hidden… the legnths the british go to defend and protect their instruments of colonialism and violence is beyond belief. no justice for the victims and yet every measure taken to protect David James Cleary and his fellow murderers.
Never a better time for the Streisand Effect than when it’s a government covering up acts of brutality and evil.
holy fuck okay so like. i grew up in northern ireland and finally seeing the context to this is WILD.
towns at a point used to fly banners that said ‘protect Soldier F’ on them. I, and I’m sure many others, were never told what this meant. It was very much a ‘don’t talk about it’ scenario.
the fact that i grew up in that bastarding country and I am only learning this NOW at the ripe age of 22, and I no longer even live there, speaks volumes on how much they try to cover this shit up.
“The average US president has been charged with 1.54 felonies” factoid isn’t true. The average US President has been charged with 0 felonies. Donald trump, who has been charged with 71, is a statistical outlier and should not have been counted
Felonies Donld is now up to 79 felonies, for a statistical average of 1.71 felonies per president
