Why buy a toy when you can build a partner. Put googly eyes on the pringles man and watch them roll back as he takes it.

This is part of why hate speech should be legal. Its not illegal to have shitty opinions and beliefs, so long as you don’t act on them beyond that. I’m also concerned with the governing body deciding what hate speech is. What if “support trans rights” or “end genocide” gets classified as hate speech? As much as it sucks IMO its easier to just let all hate speech be legal and we try to build a social system where that noise just gets drowned out by more positive speech.

The witcher 3 is pretty good as well. A bit more story driven and less open world but there are several playstyles and a pretty alive world to explore.

My work has this policy too, i just don’t tell anyone when i use it and I’m honest with my hours off the clock to cover my ass if anyone asks.

It was the sister asking, they were going morel hunting soon. Originally the date was gonna be in the woods but then we got rained out so i took her to eat instead. I am an outdoors person and have that look to me, but i also have foraging friends that would take a bullet for me before sharing their morel spots.
- Comment on fish 1 week ago:
I met a girl for a date the other day and her sister was there when i picked her up and the first thing she asked after shaking my hand was “you know any good spots to harvest morels?” Yeah even if i had a good spot in the area, they ain’t getting it that easy.

- Comment on Is chess the most frustrating game to lose in? 4 weeks ago:
IMO that makes it lest frustrating than a game of chance or randomness. You can strategize and learn to improve at least with chess.

The culture has changed. The rubicon has been a package offer for several models and years. Usually its the 3rd or 4th owner that finally takes advantage of the package.
- Comment on It's about the *option* 4 weeks ago:
I never had a problem with mine. My 6 speed stick took more abuse than the 3 speed auto I had in my 02.
- Comment on It's about the *option* 4 weeks ago:
The tj ended production in 2006 and the last manual model had an impressive low gear. The 6 speed tranmission had a lower 1st gear than the 5 speed, and also somehow a lowrr 6th gear than the 5 speeds 5th.
- Comment on It's about the *option* 4 weeks ago:
The rubicons do have a good kit and package for off roading, they are rarely used for that when new these days. Locking differentials for example are typically an off road specific feature.
- Comment on It's about the *option* 4 weeks ago:
Depends how off road. Cottage dirt road? Yea thats fine. Genuine off road trail with 2+ feet of water in some puddles and rocks/ruts that you actually need some bumper height for? Mini van probably won’t cut it.

He was being a dick. He wouldn’t let me have a turn in the closet. I had to fuck the girl myself it was so exhausting.
- Comment on insert mental health condition here 5 weeks ago:
Also upbringing could significantly impact the development, or lack of, coping skills for individuals. A kid with autism growing up in an environment where they can develop skills to help manage their autism may grow up without ever knowing they were autistic. Same coud be on the reverse where stricit restrictions could reduce the coping skills and exacerbate some of the difficulties that come with autism.
- Comment on Anon needs a job 5 weeks ago:
I didn’t get a single respone to hundreds of applications i sent online. A local business asked if I wanted a job after some comments I made. The ladies in the office threw away my resume and cover letter cause it was too much for the boss to take in. I got the job after an in person interview with the boss.
I realize i got pretty lucky but small towns and local family businesses absolutely still operate on the “smile and a handshake” technique. I even got my apartment in the area without a job through a similar in person interview and handshake with the landlord.

Ngl some pit hair kinds goes with that fit. Not that the stubble there is what I’d consider pit hair. Imagine if some dude claimed that same amount was a “full beard”.

this source claims
Authorities in Switzerland also said a former passenger who tested positive was being treated at a Zurich hospital. The passenger had left the ship at St Helena and it was unclear how he had travelled to Switzerland or which countries he might have passed through. Swiss authorities insisted there was “no risk” to the public
It also claims
But a limited spread among close contacts has been observed in some previous outbreaks with the Andes strain, which has spread in South America, including Argentina, where the cruise trip started in March.

See you say that, yet many people get away with it all the time because it isn’t enforced. It is illegal, but no one is chasing it down. Work from home/business located on the same property? People get their water systems serviced and installed under their company name as a “business expense” even if 90-99% of the water use is personal. Same with gas in the work truck even if you brought the kids to soccer after school in it etc etc. If it isn’t enforced, it isn’t a myth. The IRS CAN do something about, but only once you frauded enough to be worth their time.
- Comment on Your Truck is Stupid Big 1 month ago:
Its same as business owners writing things like toilet paper for their house off as a business expense. Its almost impossible to enforce. He could pop into a dollar store, buy a pack of zip ties, and claim they are for work and justifies using the work truck.
- Comment on Your Truck is Stupid Big 1 month ago:
Thats common if its something they don’t do often or are using equipment they rented. Landscapers, independent home builders, and other certain trades often have their own equipment and trucks/trailers to haul it.
- Comment on Your Truck is Stupid Big 1 month ago:
Yes, but a genuine light, single cab truck is significantly cheaper than the crew cab super duty, especially once you account for fuel economy and maintenance. Its like spending more up front for a more effecient appliance. You end up saving in the long run despite more cost up front.
You also have better operational flexibility. One truck could take off with 2 crew members to another jobsite once the bulk of the work or certain equipment is finished at the first job site. You could also position the trucks and equipment at different locations on a large multi acre property.
Under most circumstances, 2 light trucks makes more sense than 1 super duty.

I’m in Canada so I’m very familiar with contractors owning goose necks and large trucks, it just doesn’t work like that everywhere in the world. The more remote/small the community, the more it makes sense for small owner/operators to be able to haul their own equipment.
- Comment on Your Truck is Stupid Big 1 month ago:
Anything too big for an SUV typically goes on a transport designed to haul large loads. Goose necks for pick up trucks are mostly a north american thing.
The example you bring up also mentions how that truck is just for work, which isn’t really the problem. The problem is when the boss decides to drive that massive truck everywhere because his ego is so big he thinks hes needs the truck to go anywhere.
- Comment on Your Truck is Stupid Big 1 month ago:
Even then, most companies would be better off running 2 trucks and ssets of equipment rather than 1 big truck hauling everyone and everything… It would cost a bit more than one big truck but significantly improve operational flexibility.
- Comment on Your Truck is Stupid Big 1 month ago:
The loophole is many who own their own trades business still drive them for personal uses because they can’t afford (don’t want) another car.

A non passenger vehicle is likely whats its designated as. Or a “light truck”.
