Truly - What do they care about what happens after they’re dead? … They’ll be dead.

They have no empathy towards anyone who will suffer the consequences because they won’t have to be the ones to deal with the fallout. “Fuck you, I got mine” is their entire strategy.

That’s when you make the kid help bake the cookies, but give ALL of them away.

A “40% chance of rain” does not mean that there is a 40% chance that it will rain in general. It could mean anything from “there’s a 50% chance that 80% of the area will receive rainfall” to “there’s a 100% chance that only 40% of the area will receive rainfall”.

It’s dumb, but it makes a weird sort of sense when you realize you have to talk about entire area codes about something that can be hyper-localized or extremely broad. Don’t expect it to be too personalized.

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.

It’s not even calibrated for stereoscopic viewing - this is just an overlay on a screenshot! The VR experience would be terrible!

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

“Remember: you’re reversed - your car isn’t.”

Literally the next scene

Car window frosts over because it gets set on fire

I stopped trying to make sense of the internal logic at that point. The fight scenes were interesting, but at the cost of immersion in the story. Not to mention - the acting/dialogue is entirely bland plot points spoken at the audience as much as the other characters.

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.

Wish she would Pokemon Go to a nursing home already.

Still not safe.

I wrote one coded entry in a new journal, and my mom brought it to me the next day and told me to decode it for her. She “just wanted to understand what I was writing about to make sure it wasn’t anything bad.”

I lied about it and then didn’t write anything down again. Helicopter parents are the fucking worst.

Scroll to the bottom and expand the “Myths & Religion” section for historic examples, including the Bible.

They earned enough in this year to pay $2,000 to every US resident and still make a profit.

Time to eat the rich.

“Oh, finally Tylenol is suing over all of the false narratives about their completely safe product.” re-reads headline “Wait… Oh. Oh, we’re fucked.”

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.”

Not to mention that using ANY mark is considered a signature, no matter the method of affixing it to the document. It’s an ADA compliance thing - you can’t discriminate based on the method of signing.

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.”

It’s only 3 pentagons, 1 hexagon, 1 triangle and 3 rectangles for a total of 20 component triangles. Easy!
