Found this really funny. I think the tweet was deleted because I can't find it anymore.

What is the Turkish fascination with yogurt? Where I am it's exclusively an after-dinner dessert food, excepting breakfast along with fruit or cereals. I'd like to know what we're missing.

It's sour and tangy, washes out spicy tastes really well and is healthy as long as you don't add sugar to it. Mixed buffalo yogurt is top. Perfect food for migrating chinky nomads looking to conquer the city of the worlds desire.

Its a lot simpler than this, tax collectors were universally hated for all of history and in fact roman tax collectors tended not to be paid a particularly high salary because it was understood they would skim off the top regardless, and indeed usually lived very affluent lives because they were universally thieves.
 
Does anyone have a playlist or a list of all the person's streams so I can send it my buddy, I want to get him into them.
 
@Null la leche league is not British nor is their purpose to "trade milk", they are a training, education and support for breastfeeding (soon "chestfeeding") for mothers (soon "parents") many of their chapters do (soon to be did) outreach in hospitals to encourage new mothers to breastfeed and assist them with breastfeeding tips if they can.

Oh man halloumi is amazing. It's stocked in all major supermarkets here in Australia, even Aldi has it. Hopefully when you return the cheese situation in the US isn't so grim that you are denied halloumi.

Tax collectors were seen as betrayers who were siphoning the wealth and resources of the Jewish people, giving it to invaders, and profiting themselves from it. It wasn't like today where the IRS is a faceless monster that you, in most cases, barely notice as your money is taken automatically out of your check and you mail them a check once or a few times a year. These people knocked on your door to do a face to face government shake down and if you didn't make them happy now you have to worry about the Legionaries coming to kick down your door.

Just to add onto this but Roman tax collectors weren't actually part of the state, the Roman Governor of the Province would have people/agencies bid on becoming tax collectors for the lowest rate, and the had no oversight from the government if they brought in their assigned amount, so abuse was rampant.
 
I hope the new sneed bunker is a standalone building in the middle of nowhere so Josh can yell at the top of his lungs like the raving lunatic he is.
 
Classified US government files have been leaked and ALIUMS ARE REAL. These documents have been released by congresswoman Nancy Mace detailing the shapes, sizes, and behaviors of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena collected by US intelligence sources and sent to the IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION Pentagon program, as discussed in Congress on Wednesday.
Here is an example of the kind of UAP recorded in this document. This is absolutely for certain a real alium and not birdshit on an infrared sensor.

People in Flo'Rida could only make cheese that's already putrefied from the humid weather. Embrace his TRAD Sicilian heritage and learn to love the maggot cheese of the Sicilian/Sardinian highlands, Casu martzu. The decomposition adds a unique flavour according to brainrotted folk.

No joke, since it's illegal to sell as correctly stated in the Wiki, in the summer there are local producers stalking around the beaches in Sardegna like drug dealers going "Psst, hey kid, you not a cop are you? Want to try something POWERFUL?" trying to sell It to tourists from the trunk of a 1980 FIAT Panda.

Funny you mention Raki, I did some research today and picked up a bottle of some special aged Raki. Im picking more tomorrow and comparing them all once I get home to share with friends. Apparently it turns white if you mix it with water. They call it "lions milk."

Indeed, the original file posted is named only the flag of the Sretensky district, within Zabaykalsky Krai, Russia. the

On the what is Rekieta on question.

There are quite a few things people can get messed up on these days that will let you get around a drug test. The most popular options are, kratom, kava kava, and k2 (serenity/sythetic marijuana).

Kratom, and kava kava are both basically plants that happen to get you high and are easy to get a hold of now days. kratom feels like an opiate, like you took some vicodin. Kava kava acts more like a muscle relaxer, or alcohol.

Then k2. People think they can test for it now, and technically they can. The thing is, the chemical they use in that changes so often that there is a good chance whatever test they have won't detect what is in it. Basically the only way they would be able to is if they somehow knew that it had X chemical in this particular batch.That or if someone got unlucky and got some with jwh-018. Though really these days that would be luck in the sense, that its not comparatively as terrible for you. Since the stuff they are using now are pharmacological horrors.

I imagine he wouldn't be on galaxy gas. Or if he was using it, that wouldn't be noticeable. Because its so short lived. Its only going to last about 5 minutes tops. There are definitely more things you could do to get high and get around drug tests. But these are the most common things you see. Just for reference on why I know. I have mentioned before, I've been sober for years now, but I was a junky in the past. And got around tests myself, as well as worked with recovery stuff after sobering up, and had to drug test people. So I've seen a good bit over that time.

One last option I thought of just now,, while thinking of what I had done in the past. If Rekieta found a doctor that is either willing. Or that he could trick. He could get them to prescribe something that would get him fucked up. And if you can produce a prescription. You can basically fail any tests for that substance, and not get in trouble.

It wasn't even just that, but that they were incredibly corrupt and would often outright make up taxes then just pocket them.

They weren't "Corrupt" because they "made up taxes to pocket them" - That was the ENTIRE POINT. The tax collectors were sold the right to make up whatever bullshit taxes they wanted to. The empire didn't have the time to collect taxes, so they had contractors do it for them.

The way the provinces of the Roman Empire was taxed was kind of weird. Instead of employing "Tax Agents" like the US does, the Roman Empire had things that can only be described as "Tax Collection Contractors" called Publicans. So the Roman Empire would, every few years or so, tell these Publicans, essentially, that "Hey, we want you to get 5 Million Denarii from this province."

And those Publicans would bid on taxation rights to the province, with the taxation rights to a province going to whoever offered to pay the empire the most money. So you'd have these contractors offering to get Rome 5.5 Million Denarii, others offering to get 7 Million Denarii, ect. And whoever won the contract would pay UP FRONT. So as far as Rome was concerned, the taxes for that province had been paid.

Now obviously these contractors needed to actually make back the money that they paid for, and then some, to make it worth their time. So if they won a contract that they paid 6 Million Denarii for, they're needing to make back at least 13 Million Denarii or they won't be able to afford to bid on anything next time. So if the "normal" taxes would only net them 9 Million Denarii, then they'll make up whatever taxes they need to to get that extra 4 Million so they don't go broke for the next time they have to bid.

So legally speaking, the Publicans weren't corrupt - They had every legal right to make up taxes, since they paid for the right to do that. So you end up with people paying way more taxes than the 5 Million Denarii that the Roman Empire said that they wanted, and to the average "Jew on the Street" that must have really fucking sucked, since Biggus Dickus paid for the right to break your kneecaps if you don't pay whatever extra taxes he can come up with, but you're not seeing Biggus Dickus - he's relaxing in a Vilia in Italia, getting his dick sucked by a slave - you're seeing the fellow jew who lives three houses down from you who works for Biggus Dickus banging on your door and when you can't pay up, he has a fucking roided out, barely literate, shit streaked Ubii from western Germania break your kneecaps and take every last denarius you have. THAT is why they had a bad reputation.

Really, as much as I hate the IRS, I feel that the Publician tax contractor system was even worse.

EDIT: Clarified that the "Dude who lives 3 houses down" would be a fellow jew.
