I used to study in a cozy little cafe that was a row of houses turned into business. Next door was a bar that could get a bit rowdy sometimes. They had one of those jukeboxes with an app. I would load up Hotel California every chance I got. I could barely hear the music but I could hear the patrons groan every 30 minutes or so. One day the song option wasn’t there, so I switched to American Pie by Don McLean.
I’m sure they hated me.
I will never drink civet coffee. I don’t care if my 110 year old Asian auntie demands it, I’d rather take a house slipper to the ear than drink a cup of shitty coffee.
Counterpoint… Hunting and gathering. That animal you’re eating didn’t kill itself. My trowel kills some of the plants I’m harvesting, and a fruit starts to die once it’s cut from the vine. Destruction is necessary in life. It isn’t automatically an “evil” word. We as a species wouldn’t exist without destruction, death, and decomposition.
Now, whether the existence of humans at all is a good thing, is a question for Nietzsche and Douglas Adams. We aren’t the greatest.
Thanks for the laugh, friend. What a great movie.
Tucker & Dale vs. Evil (2010)
Agreed. Fuck cars. Going from LA to SD on the train is so much more peaceful, has WiFi, 120v, the right of way, and beautiful views.
About nitrous, I knew an Impala guy that pulled us out of the office one day and opened his trunk and points to a spare tire on top of a perfectly carpeted and mounted box. Says “do you know what that is?” Ummm, you’re hiding your no2 from the cops? “How did you know!?” Idiot.
…but you’ve seen a rifle take itself to school and start blasting? Recently I’ve seen a guy plow a car into a group of peaceful protesters and I’ve seen a pack of drones fly themselves into Russian bombers.
Even countries that don’t allow citizen weapons are armed to the teeth because their neighbors are as well. The first time I saw an assault rifle in real life was on some sort of police at a TGV station in France… and if your argument is “yeah but they’re trained police and militaries”, those are some of the most unhinged and unstable people I’ve ever met.
I know we need stricter gun control laws, and I know that societies without citizen weapons have lower to no mass shootings. I know we need free/low cost healthcare. I’m arguing that there’s nothing more dangerous about a rifle over other things in your garage but bump stocks make a rifle dangerous and unpredictable.
The rifle as a tool is just as safe as a log splitter, wood chipper, machete, drone, or the 3000lbs car you hurdle down the highway at 80mph. It’s the operator of those things that can be dangerous.
Bumpstocks, however, make the weapon discharge unexpectedly and is stupid to own or operate.
Hypothetically, let’s say the administration cancels social security. What happens to all of my money I’ve already paid into the system? I’m not at retirement age yet. Are they just going to steal my investment?
I don’t know. Even if the lawyers didn’t take a dime of that pot, and even if the recipient didn’t have to pay taxes on that settlement, that’s only $2,000 per person that was injured on the job. Seems like less than a slap on the wrist and more like a wag of the finger.
Yeah, I called it a rom-com because…
Her boyfriend believed her and was there for her, he just didn’t know how to help. Also parts of that movie were hilarious.
Because October is scary season, I feel like Sam Rami fills this niche perfectly. Drag Me to Hell (2009) is peak Rami rom-com.
…assault with a deadly weapon, domestic terrorism to name a few more. Hopefully it means they are going to throw the book at this guy while obviously charging him with attempted murder. The DA just needs a minute to figure out how to kick him in the balls. *speculation
Besides them voting for Trump, another problem is that the big dogs like Kroger and Walmart have started stocking more international foods. Growing up in an Asian family through the 80’s, we waited for that care package from the homelands or we stuffed our return suitcases FULL of ingredients and left our clothes behind. It was the only easy way to get the flavors.
Unless they’ve exhausted their budget already and were waiting for a loan to distribute additional funds. New SNAP recipients get paid right away, they don’t wait for the remainder of the fiscal year to pass.
Unless you’re native, we ARE the foreigners, Goofy. Immigrants created the “America” you’re so adamantly defending and our melting pot of citizens only makes us stronger. Diverse food, intelligence, and cultures will make America great again. Not a bunch of crusty old xenophobic white people.
They didn’t link Hitler to Coke. They said (in the context of the 20th century) loads of people were on drugs AND that Hitler & Co were on more drugs than most.
Ooooooooh, is that what that is!? Malicious compliance? That’s bullshit if true.
I keep getting ads that blast right out of the gates saying “my husband prematurely ejaculates…” in the middle of the day. Or “problems getting rock hard?” I got my kids next to me. Like WTF? If it’s supposed to profile me, it’s broken. I don’t need or want ED pills and even if I did, why are the ads so crass?
The one that was like 10m long 😆 I’m assuming that’s the album one.
