In a previous house I rented, the HOA ladies would drive around the neighborhood roughly 3 times a week. There were less than 200 homes in the whole subdivision. Even if you walked slowly, it would only take an hour to walk the whole thing, but instead they drove.

Primary and secondary schooling is just practice to be good little worker bees. That’s why conservatives view college/tertiary school as iNdOctrINATIOn cEntERS

Completely agree on people not understanding statistics. See: most of the polls showing a slight edge to Harris, but with a 3 to 4 point margin of error, being taken to mean that Harris had it in the bag.
SOMETHING HAPPENING 49 OUT OF 100 TIMES IS STILL VERY LIKELY!

- Comment on ‘Hysteria’ Star Bruce Campbell Calls Out Tom Cruise For Doing His Own Stunts: “It’s OK For Stunt Guys To Make Money, Too” | Decider 5 weeks ago:
I know that all the big stars hate me to say this, but I don’t want to risk 80 peoples’ jobs just to say I got big huevos on The Tonight Show, because that’s what happens. I think a big star just sprained an ankle doing a stunt, and 80 or 180 people are out of a job.
We have stunt people who do that stuff, and if they get hurt, I’m sorry to say but they just need to put a mustache on another Mexican and we can keep going. But if I get hurt, everybody’s out of a job. So I don’t choose to do that.

Arizona here. My August service bill is the highest of the year, usually ends up around $425 or so with the thermostat set to ~76. January is usually the lowest, and I can get that down to about $75. Averages out to about $220/mo over the year. It’s ridiculous.

As someone else said, Austin Powers really kneecapped 007 by dialing up every trope to 11, leaving seriousness as the remaining option.

Following leads in an investigation of Paul Reubens, Jones was arrested in 2002 for possession of child pornography and soliciting a 14-year-old boy to produce sexually explicit images between September 2000 to May 2001.[37][38][39] Jones photographed the child, and paid him to pose nude on multiple occasions wearing a cowboy hat, with stuffed animals, and dressed as a Native American.[40] Jones surrendered himself and was released on bond prior to arraignment.[41] Jones pleaded not guilty to the possession charge[42] and no contest to a charge of soliciting a minor. The victim initiated a separate civil action against Jones seeking damages and compensation.[43] The misdemeanor charge of possession of child pornography was dropped following the no contest plea.[44] His attorney emphasized that there was no allegation of improper physical contact. His punishment was five years’ probation, counseling, and the requirement to register as a sex offender.
- Comment on Man Sues Dealership After Loaner Car Gets Reported as Stolen 6 months ago:
From Gemini:
This video reports a mistaken identity case where a man, Jamie Rogers, was pulled over by the police under the suspicion of driving a stolen car. The car, a Kia SUV, was actually a loaner vehicle provided by the dealership while Jamie’s own car was in for repairs. The video starts with a police bodycam footage showing the officer yelling at Jamie to step out of the vehicle and put his hands in the air. Jamie complied with the officer’s instructions and expressed confusion about the situation. The officer believed the car was stolen and threatened to shoot Jamie if he did not follow his instructions. Jamie reported that the whole experience was terrifying. He thought he was going to be shot by the officers. His wife, Natalie, was also very scared after she received a call from the dealership about the stolen car. She worried that Jamie might have been injured or even killed during the police stop. The misunderstanding arose because the dealership misplaced the loaner agreement. The couple is now suing the dealership because of the psychological trauma they endured. Their lawyer argued that the police report could have been avoided if the dealership had double-checked their records. The video ends with Jamie and Natalie expressing their frustration with the dealership. They are thankful that their children were not in the car during the incident, but they cannot help but shudder to think what could have happened.
