Sure why not, and lets kill a couple goats and shit for good measure too while we’re at it.

Peer pressure.

No, I’m dead serious. I believe an exposed pie would survive on the ground long enough for a whole bush to grow around it and then subsequently be eaten by a dog. I am in no way being humorous.

Maybe the pie was there first and the bush grew around it.

Well, from a purely imperical viewpoint, it kind of is. Pros: a criminal is captured and potentially made to suffer in some way, which somehow balances out the cosmic scales of justice or something; this high ranking criminal can be plumbed for information, which has many assets seizing and additional criminal capturing implications. Cons: there is no reduction in criminal activity; there is actually an increase in violence and volatility; the power vacuum will inevitably be filled and essentially all the clandestine infiltration/investigation work up to this point resets to square one. Could be someone better, could be someone worse, but absolutely will be someone.

Just to chime in a little. I don’t think the implication was “my nan never worked”, I think it was more “she never had a 9 to 5”. No one in this conversation was trying to say being a mom is easy, so much as they’re saying working a desk job is harmful to the soul. While more demanding than a desk job, raising children is also a truly meaningful occupation; like, deep down, meaning of life type meaningful. You don’t get “paid”, but no amount of pay is worth more than watching your child learn and become a person either. Ultimately I don’t think the ease or difficulty of jobs is whats enabling or preventing these people from living a long time. It probably has more to do with a sense of purpose. The article is disingenuous because an overwhelming majority of jobs do not provide a sense of purpose.

Why would you not name the company? If they won’t protect you, you are not obligated to protect them.

“…and then just add .03 pounds of coffee per .0005 tons of cayenne and you’ll be the toast of the town!”

I am so powerfully intrigued.

Funny meme. Anyone know what this is actually a picture of?

This is something I am woefully uninformed about. Can you provide additional information/resources?

Sure looks like track marks on the shirt. Also looks suspiciously well lined up. Alive or dead, whoever did it did not deviate from their angle at all.

This sounds like a Drake line.

This is some real lowest common denominator type meme.

Ftfy always becomes “fuck that, fuck you” in my head.

I use a Kobo. It has a few warts, but its great overall. Software is definitely the weakest link.

It could be interesting to cut all the movies into even pieces making one movie with the average runtime of all of them and see if it’s cohesive.

I shit you not, when I watched that video I was eating a fucking bowl of Spaghetti-Os.

Because they would make him feel important. Because they would make him feel cool and nonconformist. He would feel like he’s really making decisions and choosing a path. He would feel in control and ontologically whole. Incidentally these are the same blinding motivations which guide the anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers, anti-education anti-healthcare, anti-student loan forgiveness, anti-free school lunch, anti-gun control, anti-immigration, anti-affirmative action, anti-environmental protection, anti-democracy crowd.

The problem with billionaires is the same as those who worship them, which I believe is what endears the latter to the former. They have a very profound hole in their self worth. If you’re a billionaire you probably got to be one by compulsively looking for something to fill that hole, or alternatively you inherited your wealth from someone who has. If you don’t recognize your worth, you don’t recognize your power. If you don’t recognize you power you feel powerless. If you feel powerless, your desperation to control makes you either easy to manipulate or antisocial, or both.

God as broad: Your Mom makes you a sandwich.

Devil as details: The meat in the sandwich is a dead animal. Your mom bought it from an evil mega corp. She paid for it with wages from her soul crushing job. No one makes her a sandwich.
