  1. You don't say? You think Ben and Jerry don't know they're stuff is sold abroad? Maybe there's an Asia factory? They have one in Netherlands for Europe.
  2. I had a Chick milk shake which was very good. They're famous for their chicken sandwiches but I haven't tried. I have also have had better ice cream than Ben and Jerry's at artisan shops. Ben and Jerry's style is a particular experience that is very popular and definitely better than Bud's. If you crave Ben and Jerry's only their brand will do it. I remember when Häagen-Dazs was the <deleted> before Ben and Jerry's hit the scene. It's also high butterfat but I don't crave that brand.
  3. Yes that is the UK pint. It's larger than the US pint. What is fake about Ben and Jerry's ice cream?
  4. Some Americans are still fighting the civil war. Ain't it the truth! https://www.51voa.com/VOA_Special_English/why-americans-still-fighting-the-civil-war-76356.html
  5. Lee was not fighting for America. End of.
  6. Nobody is erasing him from history but he doesn't deserve honorifics in United States military institutions. What took them so long?
  7. Why should Ukraine give up anything? Russia invaded them. Russia already stole Crimea. If Ukraine gives up more how can they ever trust Russia not to restart this later?
  8. Interesting. I wouldn't want to move back there even if I won the lottery because I don’t like the change to being a city best for the rich and homeless. That's a loss of soul. Too many homeless is nothing new in San Francisco because of the weather and also helping programs. My politics haven't changed much since my teen years but I do recall a widespread feeling in San Francisco that San Francisco is a small place and not everyone that wants to live there can live there and that's not horrible. While I was there before insane rents I lived in very substandard cheapest housing so just above homeless. It was worth it to me to live like that to be in SF. Until one day it wasn't anymore and I moved.
  9. Mug shot of some grifter.
  10. Thanks for the geography. But one billion what?
  11. Yeah. Remember his "American Carnage" Inauguration speech. Never been an inauguration speech like that before and hopefully never again.
  12. Because it was in Russia.
  13. That is true Walgreens has closed many stores in communities that really need them.
  14. BTW a US pint is 473 ml or 16 fluid ounces. The b and j pints in Thailand are indeed that size but other countries define the size of a pint differently.
  15. Fox News isn't life. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/prop-47-theft-california/
  16. Yes. Trump with his Putin's poodle act made me feel ashamed to be American just as many decent Russians are ashamed because of Putin. Biden's leadership on Ukraine makes me feel proud. Fighting the Nazis in WW2 was a just war. Ukraine fighting the Putin Z genocidal fascists is similarly just.
  17. Probably. I'm not aware of even one exceptionally good ice cream or Gelato shop in Pattaya. Years ago there were some decent ones but they vanished like fish massage. Yes of course you don't need a pint but there really is something iconic about a Ben and Jerry's pint.
  18. It happens but hardly an everyday thing. One time is one time too many.
  19. It's not about the politics either way but many people including me like their style which is quite distinctive. Pattaya used to have a New Zealand natural shop which was very good. Of course good gelatos beat any ice cream. This topic is about Ben and Jerry's but the larger theme is if you're craving something go for the something because the cheap alternative won't cut it.
  20. You make SF sound like a dystopian hellscape. I'm skeptical that its really that bad for most residents. I do think.that many tourists because of the locations of most of the big hotels are over exposed to the homeless crisis. No doubt there are very serious problems. Anyway l left my wisdom teeth in San Francisco where I learned about "real" Chinese food. I don't follow current San Francisco board of supes dramas but is it unfair to say a big reason Asians have been underrepresented in SF elected officials is because historically not enough of them have been interested enough to participate? Also people shouldn't vote for people only because of ethnic identity. It should be about policies. Obviously Mayor Breed wasn't elected by the black vote as SF only has 5 or 6 percent blacks. SF is a very democratic city so the politics there are always about the different levels within the democratic political spectrum.
