Men come in all shapes and sizes.
Men come in all shapes and sizes.
I don’t assume they are 13, but they at least aren’t old enough to remember what happened in 2016.
I feel especially called out here… Pop tarts and cereal in the morning. Only thing that changed was fruit juice was swapped out for coffee.
Easy, just ask them what show was on channel 3 when they were a kid.
Those pellets are the only reason I go there…
Well, those, and the chicks in the spring. I just wanna snuggle them all!
The joker isn’t the disease in Gotham, he’s the symptom. In a world where the effort of an individual results in proportional gains, where people have a home, family, and attachments to their community, there is no joker. The populace is innoculated against his desire to tear it all down, because they have a stake in “it all”. The few that are vulnerable to his views, are getting the support and care they need from trained staff, and the people around them are keeping the joker away. Batman isn’t in Gotham because of the Joker; the Joker can exist in Gotham because of Batman, a billionaire who spent his efforts and resource on violence, instead of outreach.
Plus, giving OSHA some teeth, and forcing corporations to compensate fairly for workplace accidents, and regulations requiring the inspection and certification of toxic chemical plants would have stopped the joker, and countless other tragedies, at a fraction of the cost.
Read books, play videogames, go outside and beat each other with sticks…
Stop, you’re scaring me.
Only slightly higher chance that they actually get to market too… Fingers crossed for 2025.
Yeah, it takes a lot of chutzpah to say, “Look, I tried, but I can’t do it. This guy can do it, and I’m giving him my full support, you should too”.
I think just about anyone who has the confidence to run for President is narcissistic enough to think they are the only person who can do the job, so Biden, or Trump, stepping down willingly is not going to happen.
It’s probably a bit of both here. We didn’t have the “disposable” lifestyle 50 years ago that we have now, and a stronger push for efficiency and features has had trade-offs in complexity and reliability.
Example: My current dryer (and my dad’s new dryer) both have a lot more plastic in them. The motors are smaller, and quieter, while making the same power (or more). They are loaded with temp, humidity, weight and wobble sensors, and my dryer has 4 dials, 5 different temperatures, and 2 different modes. The old one, had a dial to control the heat, and a timer.
As for disposable, I think older generations had an expectancy that you would buy an appliance once or twice in your life. I’ve got a 1000 dollar poket shit-posting device that I’m going to get rid of because it is pushing 4 years old. We just accept that these devices are uneconomical to repair, and we toss them out. I think the only things American’s bother to fix anymore are cars, and that’s going away because every year, they get harder and more expensive to repair.
I usually buy Asus for computers, and I go for a mid-range business model with dedicated graphics. They’re cheaper than the gaming counterparts, still have good specs, and they are much more reliable and easy to work on.
Had a secondhand Alienware, circa 2017, and that thing looked nice, but it was heavy, bulky, and you had to remove the back cover, drives, battery, WiFi antenna, and a bezel just to swap the CMOS battery. But that’s everything Dell IMHO.
Fun fact. The guy that made this was the “forensic expert” that claimed he could detect bamboo fibers in ballots in Georgia and Arizona. The GOP tried to put him in charge of their investigation.
Gotta have one from 30 years ago. My dad’s secondhand Maytag dryer survived 4 moves, and 35 years. We had it serviced twice in that time. First time was at 30 years. It stopped running because it filled up with pocket change. Some of the coins were polished almost completely flat. Second time, the heat quit working. Bought a new dryer after that. It’s going strong, but it’s got a long way to go just to be half as good.
I love hearing other languages in the US. It reminds me of the lofty ideals that were taught to me as a child. The Great Melting Pot, Give me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses, E Pluribus Unum and all that.
I hate that there is a significant portion of the population here that violently believes that English is the only language here.
All spiders (and tarantulas) are venomous.
Whether or not the venom is medically significant to humans… That varies by species.
All scriptures, equal space for each scripture, same font (not necessarily same size) same colors.
Also need to leave some space for new religions/scriptures. It’s only fair.
Ghoul in the streets, feral in the sheets.
Yep. Biggest disappointment about the 2008 crisis was that all the people who caused it were able to go back to work and start doing it all over again
I say, if you crash the global economy, you ought to be relegated to fast food service for the rest of your life.
Former 5 time a week gym member here.
Treadmill at the gym has HVAC, no cars that blow red lights and almost kill you. You can have a conversation with someone while you are on treadmill or you can safely put on headphones and rock out. You can run yourself ragged, and all the water and benches you want are just a few feet away instead of being another exausting run back to your house. The gym is usually secured with a key or fob. There are other runners there who have great knowledge about shoes, technique/form, workout routines…etc etc.
Lots of reasons why you would drive to the gym and run, instead of just running to the gym.
