“The woke leftist media hypocrisy at its finest! They cry foul when we second strike to finish them off, then they cry foul when we leave them to drown in the open sea! Next they’ll claim to be environmentalists and in the same breath denounce us for throwing chum in the water to attract sharks to feed!”
My wife and I used to go to the movies every Tuesday for like $5 a ticket. Didn’t matter if there was something we were really interested in, we would take the chance on something. If that price tracked with inflation, it’d be $7 a ticket and we’d probably go with kids a couple times a month still. But it’s more than double that and so are the snacks, so we instead go maybe twice a year.
But, yeah, some executive with an MBA knows best how to price empty goddamn seats.
That’s some bullshit.
Don’t get me wrong, I support the collapse of corporate giants. They don’t deserve your money. But the small creators do.
What you’re saying is like saying “we can’t help these war torn villagers until the war is over”. The war will take years and the village children need to eat today. Its not a distraction, it’s the fucking point of the war.
For rich people, it’s not about using it or making a practical purchase. Its a way to show others how much you care about them (none).
It’s the yacht that counts.
I’ve considered it a good thing to get the “You’re making a mistake” pushback for things like marriage and kids. Because it is hard and you do have to give up and lot of things for it, so you had better be damn sure thats what you want.
You should be able to hear that (from certain types of people) and think “what the hell do they know?”. And if you do think “oh, damn, am I making a mistake?” then you should really fully stop and consider that question.
I think it’s easy for people to fall into the traps of thinking marriage and kids are just the next steps in life and things will get better when you’re married. Marriage doesn’t make anything better.
A lot of people say things like “marriage is great, but its a lot of work”. Those are the people that I’m like “really? Sounds like you maybe did make a mistake there” because (and I’m not expert, I’ve only been married once) it’s really easy being married to my wife.
It took way too long to find this comment. Its those nostalgia goggles.
Remembering being single is like remembering being a kid. For a lot of people, they remember the good times and put the bad times aside, so thats what they’ll talk about.
I think the worst behaved people are those that conspire to use their immense wealth and influence to actively harm people for the sole purpose of consolidating neverending wealth.
But, yeah, guys who at least put some of their money back into the economy by buying luxury status over basic do get my hackles up.
But that’s damning a snake because the devil looks like you.
I bet this works nominally better, but I just heat the pan with oil. I can’t be arsed to wipe screaming hot oil out of a pan only to reintroduce new cold oil and have to contemplate whether it could possibly make a difference and either feeling like an idiot for blindly following such an absurd direction, or like an idiot for not understanding the scientific grounds for which it works.
I bet it will be more like Prime where they display everything they own to tempt you, but there’s an increasing number of additional subscriptions you actually need to access the content.
That’s a hard steamed egg, though…
Yeah, wouldn’t the increased surface area increase the release of gas making everything ripen faster?
He has a trans son, who he supports
No, he objectively does not. Tolerates on a local level, sure, but not supports.
“I love you, son! I’m so proud of you for being your true self,” he yelled from outside the burning building, holding the door shut, “but you’re on the insurance policy, so the payout is better if you die!”
You’re conflating the severity of the consequences to the likelihood of it happening.
The likelihood of getting in a crash is not higher if your feet are on the dash. The likelihood of your injuries being worse, way worse, is. That’s the point of plenty of plenty of precautions.
Do you think seatbelts aren’t necessary because they don’t make you less likely to crash?
I still don’t understand.
It sounds like you’re saying we should not be concerned with putting our feet up on the dash because we could fall off a ladder.
Don’t put your feet up on the dashboard because an unlikely crash could shatter your hips.
Don’t step on the top of a step ladder because a less unlikely fall could break your spine.
Why are we comparing them like it’s incompatible to practice basic safety for both? Absolutely, there are many other more common dangers in the world you should guard yourself against. But not putting yourself in a position to severely worsen your injuries in the event of a car collision is one of them!
What are you talking about?
“I’ve never got into a crash, so go ahead and put your feet up on the dash if you like because people get injured from ladder falls and sports.”
First of all, and this is an issue I’m trying to impress on my 7 year old too, no one intends to have an accident, that’s why it’s called and accident. Just because you’ve never been in a car collision doesn’t mean it won’t happen.
Then, in the event that a collision does happen, you really don’t want your feet up because it will be worse. What may have been some heavy bruising to your face and chest turned into one shattered femur and one ripped right out of your hip.
That’s the lesson, and it’s not “over cautious”. It’s absolutely an appropriate level of caution.
That’s defeatism.
Your house is falling into disrepair yet you’ve been sweeping the floors and cleaning the dishes for decades.
Yes, it needs major work, and no, it can’t be fixed with brooms and sponges.
Looks like Baron Trump to me
It’s this. Stay the fuck down until your row is clearing.
Hot take! We’ve got a hot take over here!
Important to note for clarity, disobeying an officer’s instructions is NOT the same as disobeying the law.
