I live in America and paid $0 to have both our children. No idea how that worked at the time, but it’s true.

I am in this exact situation. Very little idea what’s under the tree.

IIT: People who think they’re oh so smart.
Also ITT: Those same people thinking Trump personally hired the people redacting the files.

Kids got no imagination these days.
Here’s me, carrying the key to the white castle, while Grundle tries to eat my ass. Thank god it wasn’t Rhindle.

Not ragging on anyone for ignorance, never will, but it’s a little weird how many people are asking what these are, especially in such a nerdy community.
- Comment on We used to drop a couple tabs to find ourselves 4 days ago:
Whenever these stories come out I think I’d be that guy. But once you’re given a description of yourself and your clothing?!
- Comment on Some people prefer corn for some ungodly reason 5 days ago:
They’re probably like my little kids. They say they hate onions and eat them anyway. About anything from McDonald’s, chips of nearly every sort, so many foods with onion powder as part of the flavoring.

Reading it now and you’re exactly on point.
- Comment on I cannot imagine what lawsuit led to this 6 days ago:
You only hear about the ridiculous lawsuits. Local lawyer used to explain it on the radio all the time.
- Media doesn’t report on the 99.98% of boring, and meritorious lawsuits
- Judges toss frivolous cases
- Lawyers are loath to bring frivolous cases due to reputational harm, even disbarment
Our sense of risk is absurdly out of whack with reality.

Rereading it right now. Fucking bizarre. At this point I just want to see what happens in the last book or two.

LSD is a whole different game. And you can’t get addicted, impossible. Trip today? Yeah, you’re not tripping again for another couple of days, no matter how much you take.

Middle-aged dude here. Sometimes, rarely, you get a genuine “look”. Especially when dressed stylish for the night! I hate the fake shit though, from either sex.
Hate that shit in customer service of any kind. I always treated the customer like someone a friend referred to me. “I know this guy Shalafi. He can help you with that.” Crazy how customers treat you like a genuine human when you treat them as such.

America was laughing our collective ass off when this hit:
What kills me is GenX and Boomers voting for this conman. We have no excuse not to remember America’s laughing stock, we were there.

I wasn’t just standing there like a dipshit. I was screaming at the party to get the fuck away from that well.
He saw Raistlin—the mage’s ghastly face glistening metallic yellow, his golden eyes red in the red moon’s light—scream something Tanis couldn’t hear.
And then that cunt dropped a Darkness spell and the dumbass Plainsman got smoked.

That’s what I was taught 35-years ago, but from comments I’ve read, I gather there’s a lot of disagreement in biology these days.

You got it off Imgur, today.
- Comment on Are there supposed to be other options? 1 week ago:
Comments here aren’t helping, are they?
Also, why is everyone wearing 60s clothes?

I watched whatever the porn historian was in. Remember it being interesting!
- Comment on AI Overview 1 week ago:
Doesn’t matter. People fall for it every fucking time.
- Comment on Word. 1 week ago:
People aren’t paying for Word, they’re paying for Excel and getting all the other goodies included.
Yeah, LibreOffice is fine for home use, maybe even really small businesses that don’t have to trade spead sheets with external customers, but Excel is the killer app.
Calc’s a fine spread sheet program, but it’s frustrating as hell after using Excel for 30+ years. You can’t trust that it will properly import an Excel sheet and it sure won’t do macros.
- Comment on Word. 1 week ago:
For business, they need Excel.

I never stopped pirating.
- Comment on "THE SUSPECT IS IN CUSTODY. JK, LOL" 1 week ago:
He’s that shithead that has input in every fucking meeting, just so it looks like he’s doing his job.
One would think that after the Charlie Kirk fiasco he would have learned to STFU for just a bit until the facts were certain.

My wife bought a windshield cover at the flea market last weekend. We live in Florida.

I have both versions of Semple’s black. Paint brush works fine. You need a lab to apply Vantablack.
- Comment on Anish Kapoor 1 week ago:
I bought both versions of his “black” and they’re great. #1 is blacker by far, harder to apply though.
- Comment on Why do pro athelets get paid millions upon millions of dollars but will be taken off field for something minor? My coach always said walk it off or tough it out. How come its not the same in leagues? 1 week ago:
In high school you’re younger, weaker and lighter. Also, the coach is trying to toughen you up. Not saying they’re always wise about when to send you to the bench, but it’s nothing like the pros.
Once you get into the pros, those guys are monsters, fighters with a lot more to lose. And of course they’re literally financial investments.

I’ve done a whole 8-ball in one night. Coke doesn’t make you stupid or blow out your inhibitions. This guy was something special to begin with.

That book is hilariously expensive now. Check eBay or Amazon, $150+.
