Some people don’t attach value or sentimentality to $5 valentine’s day cards and would rather just spend time with their partner and spending time picking out a good card for each other can be fun. I personally like the funny ones so it can be fun to pick those out, show them to your partner, have a laugh together, and then put them back. The card brings the same amount of joy, but you don’t have to spend money or throw it away later.

Disregarding acting ability, I don’t think Pattinson had the physicality for it; he didn’t look big enough to me to be believable. You could really tell the Batman costume had a lot of padding when you saw him as Bruce Wayne. I think he’s just too lithe, for the lack of a better descriptor, for the character, you know?

Why not both!

What are you saying? We’re not supposed to form ignorant mobs with pitchforks?

I’m surprised that you have had bad experiences.

Evil corporation and all that and I am uncomfortable defending it, but I have had a drastically different experience.

I frequently get stuff next day or within 2 days and always get refunds without having to jump through hoops or anything and there are multiple places to choose from for dropping off a return. Also, the price is almost always cheaper or within a dollar of where I can find it elsewhere.

I’ve had some things take longer to arrive but they are clear about them not being prime and are up front about the delayed arrival time before I submit the order so I know what I’m getting into and if it’s something that I need quicker I just pick a different similar product that is prime eligible. There’s almost always an alternative that is a similar price with faster shipping. I’ve never had an order not show up either. In fact, I’ve never had to even call them or contact support at all.

It’s too consistent to be good luck. Hell, it’s so convenient that I feel guilty for buying stuff that I could get locally for a comparable price but would require me to fight traffic and stand in line to pay.

Maybe the difference is regional? Or maybe a rural area vs city thing? I don’t know. I guess the bright side for you is that you’re spreading your money around? Regardless, it sucks that you’ve had so many issues!

I’ve been cursed with his gift my whole life. Grammatical errors and spelling errors and typos stand out to me like neon signs.

Are you sure about that?

I feel sorry for his son. That poor 17-year old kid is struggling with puberty and being flooded with hormones and his fucked up dad is making him feel guilty for having completely natural feelings and urges. I hope he is able to get out from under his dad’s thumb sooner rather than later so he has the chance to discover himself.

Also, fuck you Mike Johnson for using your son as your “accountability partner.” If you want repress your sexuality then fine, but you should be using a fucking peer for that shit. Your kid shouldn’t be responsible for making sure you are being a good person (ignoring that watching porn or masturbating does not make you a bad person in the first place).

You can tell…by the way that it is.

Well, of course! It takes imagination to be a great chef.

Especially the ones that are so fucking obnoxious that you have to go through it to even view the site. I don’t bother most of the time. The banner should be unobtrusive AND there should be a button that rejects all. I shouldn’t have to go and click edit preferences, uncheck a bunch of check boxes, the click confirm. There are some sites that are doing it correctly, but they are few and far between.

I don’t understand how any reasonable judge could think that civil forfeiture does not violate the 4th amendment. I mean, keeping the government from just taking your shit is one of the primary reasons for the amendment, right?

We need to apply the same level of safety regulations to police that we do to truck drivers.

He’s a laid back Aussie dude that does mostly ocean-based solo beach camping catch and cooks.

I’m on the other side of the world, half a days travel from the ocean, so his channel provides me an interesting and often beautiful perspective of a life very different than my own.

With the amount of trash in the ocean, I wouldn’t be surprised if even an uncontacted tribe is running around in mismatched sandals and drinking out of old plastic bottles.

A guy I watch on YT has done a couple of short shipwreck survival challenges on some of the little islands off the coast of Australia. He starts barefoot and with no supplies and within an hour of scavenging the beach he has a pair of sandals, a half dozen bottles, both plastic and glass, and usually some fishing line or rope.

Well that’s because you aren’t a power hungry bully. This fucker didn’t shoot a guy in the back while he was literally running away because he needed to; he shot him because he wanted to. Probably because he was pissed that the guy had the audacity to run from the cops (because he was scared of getting shot) and then he made some shit up about a gun to cover his ass knowing that he would get away with it like the rest of them do.

I have a love/hate relationship with this community. On the one hand, I want to be informed, on the other, it’s fucking infuriating.

Thank you for the additional source. So, there wasn’t any signage, barriers, or lighting, AND it was dark and raining AND Google had multiple requests and 10 years to fix it AND other services have it properly marked. Maybe people should slow their roll and stop dismissing the case out of hand?

After watching Jan 6th, I don’t think a civil war is on the horizon. Most people are too soft and comfortable. Hell, there was one lady that stormed the capitol, got maced, and then complained about it to a reporter. When she was asked why she stormed the capitol she said, “It’s a revolution, man!”

Also, you can’t really divide the country up geographically by left or right (more people in California voted for Trump than in almost every other state, for example). So, no, I’m not worried about a civil war.

That being said, I don’t see the far-right disappearing anytime soon. There are powerful people that benefit too much by having our society divided, and it’s not just in the US where this is happening.

Sounds like a good reason to stop using Google services and products. Some examples (note, I haven’t used some of these yet):

Search - DuckDuckGo

Email - ProtonMail

Drive - Dropbox

Sheets/Docs - Zoho

Some of these examples may not the best for everyone, but my point is that we do not have to let Google continue to push us around.

It was definitely their dynamic that made the show. In fact, I’m pretty sure that Goggins was only supposed to be in a couple of episodes.
