Thank you for your valuable perspective. I was just thinking that I’d take it as a compliment, but then, I’m a guy.

“They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,” he said in an interview with MSNBC last week.

There’s no logic to hatred. I hope he’s simply enjoying the win. Congrats, dude!

Superman.

Yeah, that’s an obvious choice, but I like his character more than his superpowers. He’s civil and polite to various world governments, but ultimately, there’s no stopping him from doing the right thing.

If he’s too powerful and that’s a negative to you, substitute Captain America. The same reasoning applies.

I only use it to cover my ass because I’m not sure I’m right

Unless the judge is corrupt, Paxton will have to provide actual facts and evidence in order to win his ridiculous case. Merely calling acetaminophen a “possible” cause does not meet judicial standards. Unsupported crackpot guesses are not evidence. Neither are Facebook posts.

Unfortunately, J&J sucks, too. They just happen to have science on their side.

Neither am I. It seems unique because it’s actually become a tiny part of pop culture, which, to me, is what fits the definition of “memorable”. Nobody cares about some old guy in a cave distributing wooden swords.

“It’s dangerous to go alone. Take this.”

I bet there are people out there who hate video games but recognize this line.

OOP either doesn’t know or doesn’t care that labor can take hours, and is completely unpredictable. There’s also the issue of finding a delivery room with space to accommodate five observers, in addition to the other people who absolutely need to be in the room.

This isn’t necessarily a bad idea, but the practicalities are significant.

WHY THE FUCK ARE PEOPLE STILL EXPECTING THIS GARBAGE TO WORK? Tesla’s “full self driving” crashes have been widely covered. Is it simple ignorance? Are they not aware of the news? Is it stubbornness? Laziness? Thinking that “it won’t happen to me”? Do they sincerely believe Musk’s lies?

I know that victim blaming isn’t the answer, and that’s not what I’m doing. I just want to know what’s going on in their heads.

A clever literal meme is funny. You’ve provided an excellent example.

I kinda feel sorry for managers at large retail chains, but I also kinda don’t. On one hand, they’re “in charge” of the store, but the big decisions (or small decisions, if they involve enough money) are made by corporate. Management makes the schedule, but corporate dictates how much of a “budget” they’re allowed for wages, supplies, etc. If they go over that budget too often, they’re fired.

I don’t feel sorry for the ones who are petty dictators. I also don’t feel sorry for the ones who are perfectly capable of working in another field, hate their job, but stick with retail anyway. Retail sucks. Making it a life choice is a terrible idea. If they’re smart enough to run a store, they should be smart enough to figure that out.

The pleasant ending I didn’t know I wanted

lol they were definitely invested in the topic. They were shouting and occasionally slamming things around.

I’ll use myself as an example.

There were some guys having an argument in another room, and it got increasingly intense. They were speaking some kind of Arabic. I thought they were genuinely mad at each other, but then one of them mentioned an athlete’s name and started listing what sounded like stats.

While telling this story at a party, I said something like “Arabic is a very angry-sounding language.” I noticed someone’s eyes get large, and I didn’t realize until then how racist I had unintentionally been.

Later, I thought more about it. Any language that you don’t understand sounds bad if people are having an emotionally charged conversation. It didn’t occur to me until then how easy it is to be thoughtless and racially insensitive.

I generally try not to be an asshole, but I messed up big time. I have no idea who he was, but I’ll always be grateful to the guy whose eyes got big. He gave me a much-needed reality check.

A craving for an orange creamsicle (go with it and satisfy that craving - creamsicles are delicious)

Lock the door from the inside

It reads like an attempt at joviality that comes off as condescending. College students see this shit all the time.

I’m an old fart. I know better than to try to be hip. I’m not, and never have been. I get along just fine.

It was funny at first, but I won’t miss it if it disappears like other slang has.

That was my first guess, too. It seems geared towards first time renters.

OOP should just hump a Furby like a normal person
