- Comment on why can't there be a soda dispenser for energy drinks? 6 hours ago:
Probably liability and insurance.
What do you think would happen if you offered huge drinks, unlimited amounts or large capacity drinks of caffeinated, or energy supplements in a machine. What do you think a bored teenager with a bunch of his friends on a Friday night would do? They’d try to drink five gallons of Monster Energy just to see what would happen.
Someone would suffer a heart attack or some medical emergency and lawyers would have a field day milking concerned parents and restaurants with access to millions in insurance.

When you make a Nazi salute and you’re an average person making less than $60,000 a year and barely making ends meet … you are a right wing extremist Nazi that is hated by the general public.
When you make a Nazi salute and you control over $400 billion … there is cause for debate and questions about whether or not it was a Nazi salute

Funny you should mention that movie … I just finished watching ‘War Games’ with Matthew Broderick … those films just take me back to the 80s. It was a great time because everything was so simple … but like I said in my previous comment, it was also a rough period because the adults still lived in this world where they weren’t so easy on the kids. You could wander around town and if you did something … anything wrong, chances were high that you could run into an adult that could slap you around and if you told your parents, they’d ask YOU what you did wrong.

Doesn’t mean they had an easy life … I grew up surrounded by all my older relatives who looked like this when they were teenagers in the 80s. The thing was … they all had rough lives and basically childhood (if they had any) lasted about two or three years. Childhood was just never ending terror with rampant alcoholism, abuse at every corner and violent adults making your life miserable. Mix in there that you were expected to work, run errands, stay quiet or get slapped around for even existing. Most of the boys I knew had really rough fathers who beat them for even looking the wrong way … then they hit 12 years of age and almost by necessity, they had to grow up immediately. They had to grow old, tough, strong, fast and rough because they had to stand up to a previous generation that took it out on them. I remember my older cousin turning 13 and standing up to his dad in a fist fight. It was ugly but he stood his ground … neither won but he never got beat again.

I only ever associate that type of nurse uniform to porn now.
- Comment on Low deductible high fantasy 2 days ago:
I’m in Canada and I’ve never seen a nurse dressed like this.
The oldest memory I have of seeing a nurse is in seeing her look like an orderly at a mental hospital with white pants and shirt. I was eight years old screaming in pain when I had her pin me to the bed, while a second nurse set my broken leg. My family didn’t have to pay for it but it definitely did cost me a lifelong fear of nurses.

I was going to post a terrible meme to prove that sometimes sharing dumb ideas neither halves ones grief or doubles their joy but instead exponentially increases their confidence that the world is full of idiots.
I had to stop searching because there are so many terrible, horrible, completely idiotic memes out there that people actually share with full confidence that they represent their thoughts and feelings.

- Comment on 6 days ago:
Think of it as someone’s private house or warehouse. Everyone is invited in to hang out and talk. At first there is a lot of freedom and no one is really affected. It becomes popular and there are many different types of people and open conversations are happening everywhere.
A new owner takes over the place.
He decides that some people shouldn’t be allowed to talk. He has a bunch of loud mouth obnoxious friends with extreme ideas and he starts giving them a louder voice. Anyone that disagrees or challenges them are drowned out, pushed to the back or told to leave. It’s become their place and their hang out now.
It’s not a public space and you really have no rights to anything there because it’s all privately owned by someone else. Write, share and save as much as you want there but none of it is really under your control or ownership.
You can shout, fight, disagree and challenge them all you want but it’s their place. You have no power there because if you put up too much of a fight, you’ll be pushed out, told to leave and never come back.
- Comment on Plan B 1 week ago:
Been to Thailand a couple of times and I always thought Buddhist monks were holy lifelong devotees that never did any wrong. Turns out that there is parts of the country where reformed prisoners have the option to join a monastery as a monk to serve their sentence. So in many places, those tough looking monks you see are actually gang members and criminals serving out a sentence … some of them are honestly reformed, some are working on it, and some are just gaming the system.

This is like listening to the abused house wife who keeps running back to the same unapologetic violent husband.
“He’s changed and won’t do it again”
“I believe in him … it’s going to be different this time”
“I’ll give him another chance … again”
“He promised that it will be different this time”
“I know it will work this time”
