I used to have to drive in to work at that time, and I felt like death until it got later into the summer. I simply cannot wake up when I go outside to go to work and it's pitch black.
I choose to believe I could get an elephant to leave by becoming his little human friend first and then convincing him
Yeah, back in the 80s, we still somewhat cared about antitrust law. Remember Ma Bell was broken up in 1984 (following the actual suit in 1982), and that all happened under Reagan.
Corporations had reasons to take each other down rather than merge into one massive corp
I definitely wear a fitbit that does that, but that's not really what I use it for.
Alright isn't good enough. They should improve the recipe or rename it
I really wanna try the fries they make in Friesland. I bet they are delicious
We have (invasive) coyotes here - we have for years - and I can definitely tell you that if a coyote is approaching you at all, something is already seriously wrong. I'm not sure I've ever dealt with an animal more fearful of humans.
Oh! I know this well. I didn't discover that until college, when I got out of the grips of my parents' bland cooking. So yeah, I get you.
Hot sauce and eggs are good together, but I'm sorry, they are not as iconic as peanut butter and jelly.
No, I'm right there with you. That game was everything young me wanted. And I avoided it. We have to have standards.
This is what an actual boycott is. It's not saying, "Oh well, I never liked Chic-fil-a to begin with." It's avoiding something that you actually like to stand up for your morals.
Oh, I don't think I know them. We don't have one here.
"I always thought Neil Gaiman's writing sucked."
No, you didn't. We just all know he's a monster now. You don't get extra points for pretending you didn't like him.
No, you're absolutely right. Chili's is easily the best of these lines of chains. They aren't the same restaurant they were, say, 10 years ago. They're pretty decent now.
And yeah, I'll stop going to them now. I can actually boycott this place because I actually go there.
There are four pops that have the words "Happy Valentines Day" written across them. Below that is an image of a cute, crying hamster holding one of the pops, and it says "PP TINY"
His post is really weird, too. He says he wants to get "back to basics," but every single "sin" he mentions in TNG was in TOS: Trelane, City on the Edge of Forever, The Cage, Mirror Mirror. So it reads like a joke. But then the complaint about musical episodes makes it read like he wasn't joking.
I lost it laughing so hard that when I finished, I had to back the episode back up. But then I kept backing it up and watched that bit again.
And Captain Pike's little look at the end of it just kills me too
Ya, what I was trying to say is that the guy you were responding to whose point was basically "just let the South go" is ignoring the plight of literally millions of people. (Not to mention their potential kids/descendants.) The only people who *might* have benefitted would be the slave owners.
This is also taking a sort of top-down, people in charge view. Because I can think of about four million people in the South at that time who were probably pretty glad the North won and ended slavery.
In college, one time my roomie's girlfriend walked past my room and apologized for disturbing me while I was studying. I said, "Oh, I'm not!" So she asked why I was reading a book, and I said, "For pleasure?" Then she looked me in the eyes, said "Reading is stupid!" and walked away. I was just like
I couldn't do this. I would die.
I did that a couple of years ago with a coat I had hanging near my back door. Left it there all summer. Then when it finally got cold again the next winter, I stepped outside, went "nope!," and walked back in. And there was a coat waiting on me, all ready to go. Thanks ADHD!
Or just make it sound like the computer on board the Enterprise. They got that shit right back in 1988. Google recently pushed Gemini on my Android Auto, and I keep wanting to scream "shut up!" at it because it's programmed to carry on a conversation instead of answer my questions.
A picture of Dr. Evil from Austin Powers in nearly identical clothes as the original pic lol
Drew is just doing Dr. Evil cosplay
I keep coming back to this. We have been explicitly telling them we will not vote for Newsome for over three years before the 2028 election. This isn't some clever ploy to not vote. It's not 3D chess. We're stating our terms. The Dems still over two years to put up a different candidate.
Primary on the 25th. And the "rednecks" will be there. And the "Yaller-heels" will be there, also. And the "hayseeds" and "gray dillers", they'll be there, too. And the "subordinates" and "subalterns" will be there to rebuke their slanderers and traducers. And the men who pay ten, twenty, thirty, etc. etc. per cent on borrowed money will be on hand, and they'll remember it, too.
For example, this is from a Democratic Party flier in 1891, a little over 30 years before the Mine Wars
I guess this is a minor note, but his story about the West Virginia Mine Wars is not where the term "redneck" comes from. The term was in use for about 90 years prior to that. The term comes from getting a sunburned neck doing manual labor outdoors. (Something I got on the job multiple times.)
This reminds me of the old philosoraptor meme that said, "If dentists make their living off of unhealthy teeth, why would you trust something 4 out of 5 of them recommend?"
I've read some Epstein emails, and this is very realistic, yeah.
That part kills me about these people. I've been told to my face, "This is predicted! It says there will be wars and rumors of war!" and I've always been like, "When the fuck *wasn't* that the case? Literally when?"
Unironically one of my favorite movies.
