No, I read that - it’s just not substantial. If the ding already existed, my point is that the driver is overlooking it in the photo we’re seeing. That is proof that it is not new damage and shouldn’t be considered in this case. I get that you’re trying to CYA, but it doesn’t need to be to this degree of hyper-vigilance.

verifiable evidence that the damage was pre-existing that the note leaver could somehow provide

Like a photo of the driver circling the car, unable to spot where the damage was, immediately after reading the note? Hmmmm…

Don’t make me go to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Majorly Terrible Goblin.

I don’t think coffee rice (rice coffee?) sounds all that great, but I should give it a try…

It’s because McDonalds only brings it back right after there’s been a steep decline in the price of pork.

“The blue line is the price of hogs in America over the last decade, and the black lines represent approximate times when McDonald’s has reintroduced the McRib, nationwide or taken it on an almost-nationwide “Farewell Tour” (McD’s has been promising to get rid of the product for years now).”:

This study was done 14 years ago, but I imagine it still holds true.

It largely depends on if you can afford to have a room dedicated as your home office.

Working/relaxing cannot happen in the same space. Our brains are not wired to do such a dramatic difference in mental activity in the same location. That’s also why bedrooms should be used for sleeping and fucking ONLY. Once you start reading/scrolling in bed, your brain makes that connection, “Oh, I’m in bed, I should doomscroll for the next 3 hours” instead of “Oh, I’m in bed. I should sleep.”

Hank Green mentioned doing this in his standup special, and it really made me feel at ease. He was going through his cancer diagnosis/treatment and the intake questionnaire asked him if he thought about suicide recently. His response was, “Yeah, but only in the fun ways”, so he checked no. His wife got concerned that he joked about that and asked him what that meant. “Don’t worry about it - it’s not a problem.”

Not to mention the confusion upon first reading it as “He spreads in the bastards”.

Not sarcasm, unfortunately. I remember it as clearly as the marker and eraser… I mean “marker-juana” and “eraser-beer” we used to practice saying no to.

It’s because it’s a chemical that physically alters your body.

The entire class said it wasn’t a drug and got into an argument with the cop. We all knew that even if you label it “a drug”, it’s not like the actual drugs we’re talking about. No one is out there abusing shampoo.

It’s really no wonder that taking a D.A.R.E. class increases your likelihood of using drugs in adulthood.

D.A.R.E. taught me that shampoo was a drug.

I stopped caring about being labeled as a ‘drug addict’ after learning that if that applies to everyone who regularly showers.

Matthew 6:5 I like having a sign with just the verse on it at any public ‘christian’ event. I refuse to say which verse it is, but encourage them to look it up. Usually under the guise of, “I can’t remember the exact wording / I don’t want to misquote Jesus, so it’s more impactful if you read it for yourself. You have your bible on you, right?”

The looks on people’s faces when they think you’re on their side, but then read an insult directly from their god… Priceless.

Ah, yes. That’s why when you upload a photo to facebook, only one friend gets to download it before you have to re-upload it for the next person.

I’m not saying they output directly to people’s car. I’m saying they have a queue of 15 or so drinks that they make where the employee only has to put the lid on the drink. You can’t fill any other orders if that machine is busy waiting for you to put the lid on a water so it can produce another 17,984 waters.

Unless the drinks are made automatically by a machine - I know McDonalds had those at least 10 years ago, so it would make sense that at least one Taco Bell has it. The customer could have gotten through the ‘payment’ of $0.00, and the employees might not have a quick way of cancelling an order that ‘was paid for’ and currently being made, but the article doesn’t go into detail.

You’re right about the last bit, but slightly off on what it means.

He thinks he’s got everyone fooled. He’s a toddler with no emotional stability and so he has to surround himself with people who will play along. Because even when other people call him out… what happens next?

They just shrug and move on. Eventually that makes these billionaires think that they’re master manipulators, when really, everyone is just tired of dealing with their emotional outbursts and are only going along for the paycheck.

E Pluribus Anus.

So close to the Greendale flag from Community.

To be clear - “Collective Shout” both is and isn’t responsible. It’s the payment processors who actually enacted policies and are using them as the scapegoat for negative feedback.

How many times have people reported Twitter after Elon Musk took over for showing Nazi propaganda alongside their ads - with no response. An ‘open letter’ in July about a game already banned in April? DELIST EVERYTHING IMMEDIATELY.

Can you give the protesters a dollar?

… and then sell them PPE for $1?
