Houses in my neighborhood are selling as soon as they hit the market, and yes, my neighbors are real people and are actually the homeowners. The family that just moved in next door are immigrants, the wife is a manager at a logistics center and her husband works nights at the local Amazon warehouse.

I used to find these with my cousin all the time in central Illinois and 40 years ago (ugh, how is that possible?)… Haven’t seen one in a very long time though.

My dog just watched me pull a raccoon out of my fireplace, now he just keeps looking at me. I can only imagine what he thinks just happened.

I read this in “The AI’s Voice” from Dungeon Crawler Carl.

In other words, those who can afford it pay. Now those who can’t afford it don’t get punished.

I’m just impressed they were able to milk a bird!

Yes, happens quite often and not just with coffee, but also soda cups.

Typically it’s lotion and my wife is allergic to Bath & Body Works lotions and has had full blown asthma attacks from a cup being handed into our car.

The thing is, the Supreme Court has no means of enforcing it’s judgements. If enough of the people believe the Court is no longer legitimate then their judgements will cease to hold weight. If we ever reach that point then the country as we know it will likely be unable to recover.

This was the one I was drawn to as well… The irreverent goat hauling an idol of Baphomet stuck dead center in the middle of all these other crazy motherfuckers, feeling like he’s the most normal one of the bunch.

“But, if I’m the most normal… I’m scared to death of society.”

Yeah, that’s kinda my point. He’s ineligible, but so is trump. The Supreme Court said that only Congress can keep someone from running, and the current Congress won’t do it for trump, and may not do it for someone running as a Democrat, if they could beat trump.

He’s not running because he didn’t think he could, but the general hasn’t started, so he has time.

Arnold Schwarzenegger.

He’s a proven leader, appeals to many on all sides of the political spectrum, and the supreme court has ruled they can’t keep someone off the ballot, and neither can states, so if the Senate Democrats don’t stop it then there’s nothing that can be done about it.

If the leader of an insurrection can be on the ballot, a foreign born American citizen can.

In the 2nd grade. When we got to school each morning we went to our classrooms and dropped off our stuff, then we went to the gym to wait for school to start. I was in a split class (2nd & 3rd grade in the same room) and while in the gym a 3rd grader came up and asked me what I’d do if my box of crayons went missing. I had the Crayola 128 mega box, with attached sharpener… top of the line.

Of course, when I get to class, my crayons are missing, and Tommy has a box in his desk. I walk over and tell him to give me my crayons and he says they are his. A fight is brewing, so other kids gather round. I reach down and grab the box from his desk and put them behind my back, then simply ask “If these are your crayons, where did you get them?” and he replied “My mom bought them for me at Piggly Wiggly”… I pulled the box from my back and showed everyone the ‘Wal-Mart’ sticker on the back. Then I put my crayons back in my desk.

I was always a small kid, always being picked on… this was one of my few wins as a kid and it felt so good.

Further, it could be said that they are all republicans who act in a democratic manner.

Several years ago I used to work with a could3 of cops, and I’d always ask them: is there anything I can do during a traffic stop to get out of a ticket. They’d share laugh it off and say “no, if you deserve a ticket then you’ll get one”. But then once night on a business trip I was out drinking with one of the guys and asked again and he actually told me what I should do that will give a ‘signal’ that I’m ‘one of the good ones’. I have only gotten warnings since then.

The advice was: get out your wallet, turn on the inside light, roll down your window, while holding your wallet, place both hands (crossed) at the top of your steering wheel.

The article provided the study’s author and university, so a very easy search leads right to the study. The article also specifically mentions that the study followed Californians. I don’t see how posting this article takes away or misrepresents the study or that the article presents a conclusion different from the conclusion. People who live in California really aren’t all that different from people who live in Iowa.

I wonder if this is a legal strategy so he keeps getting sued in the hopes of finding a judge\jury that finds in his favor, then he can challenge the other cases based on the last case?

And for those of us who can’t visit the cesspool.

Fuck my doctor. He didn’t mention prepping the area, so I didn’t shave, figured they’d take care of it. Nope. Didn’t shave, just cut then applied glue to my sack.

The glue on my hairy sack was the worst part of the whole experience, and it lasted for 2 weeks. I left feedback but it works have been a much better experience of they’d just told me to shave.

But don’t worry, the service isn’t changing… they are just charging more because they can.

Yeah, sorry if I came across as aloof, I do know that it’s tough out there, but I do believe that most people come out ahead after a layoff. But there are still many others who don’t, and I do recognize just how lucky I am.
