I vote we just give the 13 colonies to Canada. That should be fine.

They offered me $10.13 but in exchange for that they need my email address my mailing address my date of birth my social security and a government ID.

“I demand you respect me!” said the person who is fundamentally undeserving of respect

It’s also why so many really good TV shows and series get canceled.

The money is not being invested to create an art project.

It’s being invested in hopes of a gigantic return, and the instant it seems like there will not be a gigantic return the money goes away.

That’s why you do not often see several hundred million dollar productions of original material unless it’s a passion project for a specific director or studio.

That’s why we’ve had, what is it, 10 Spider-Man movies in the last 25 years?

I get you can’t just throw money away but I feel like there should at the very least be some sort of clause and a contract that says that if your show gets canceled then you will be provided the timing and funding to either finish up the season that you are in and provide a finale or two at the very least provide a finale.

There’s a lot I’d be willing to do for somebody that made me 10 times stronger than the average man and functionally immortal without the weakness of immediately bursting into flames under sunlight.

But I don’t think I would kill people for them or bring them victims to kill.

I guess I would not be a very good ghoul.

I don’t know, I’ve got an adopted aunt whose mom drank while she was pregnant and she is the most irritating cunt on the planet.

All the depth and warmth of an iced out corpse vagina filled with sandpaper.

That’s absolute bullshit. I’ve never met anyone who turned their bully into a friend while they were still in school together.

That is my issue with Scooby-Doo villains. They always leave such a easily traceable breadcrumb of evidence that takes you straight to their secret layer and unveils all of the twists and terms of their rascally schemes.

I think he or somebody he loves is dying because United healthcare won’t cover a life-saving operation or medicine.

No, they wanted you to go into the surgery assuming that your anesthesia was paid for only for you to get home and 6 weeks later receive a bill for $8,000 in the mail.

And full of spike traps.

Like chlamydia

My dad had the same issue when my mom became pregnant with me.

I don’t think it was quite as severe as yours but long after the fact he looked back on it as something funny that happened.

Thank you for sharing this information to people and talking about it and bringing awareness of it to light.

I understand a tiny little bit of how you feel and all I can say is my dad afterwards was able to get his weight mostly back under control and absolute worst case you can always consider getting some liposuction to tame it.

Meh.

Sounds like this is more of a convenient excuse rather than an actual deal breaker.

Like there was likely something else going on and The vibes weren’t there and this is a quick and easy way to get out of the relationship when you know it’s not going anywhere.

And I feel relatively confident in this assumption because everyone knows that if a girl is really into you she’ll put up with some really fucking weird shit to keep the relationship alive.

Free nugs is not a deal breaker.

We are so grateful that Bill is here

I spent most of my childhood being repeatedly informed by my incredibly Republican family that I lack common sense.

Yet, I have the common sense to know that if you let people do whatever the fuck they want to do with their own bodies and lives then they’ll stay the fuck out of your body and your life.

Perhaps that is an uncommon sense. However, it should be a common sense but the people who claim to have common sense fail to understand that consistently.

Maybe common sense is not all it’s cracked up to be.

Reminder: there is no such thing as the paradox of tolerance.

The rules of tolerance only apply to the people who abide by them.

Therefore, you are tolerant of tolerant people if you abide by the rules of tolerance. You are intolerant of intolerant people if you abide by the rules of tolerance.

It is very straightforward, the only pathway to paradox is from a lack of lexical understanding of the rules of tolerance.

And, their views typically do not include the things that most of the people I know hate the most about the platform that they ascribe to.

They just think being Republican will make them wealthier or fix problems in the country or make the world a better place.

The single issue voters have an opinion on a single issue and everything else doesn’t matter compared to that one thing.

They don’t care about all of the bad as long as the single bit of good can be accomplished, and they don’t care if you think that single bit of good is a bad thing.

They don’t care to talk to or be dissuaded by their family members who are not approaching them with a spirit of love and care for them.

Beside that, it’s not mentally or emotionally healthy to live spring-loaded with ontological traps that can be fired off with a single phrase to bring down judgment and the fires of hell on the people you meet.

They’re not going to want to hear you if that’s what you’re bringing to the table.

They don’t think we’re open minded and understanding.

They think we’re ignorant of how the world works, condescending, and irrationally judgemental.

I’m not saying this is how we ARE, this is just how they view us, and because they view us like that from the very start, there is no opportunity for meaningful dialogue.

It is bi-directional prejudice, and only by acts of understanding and patience and wisdom can that be overcome.

I read somewhere that nicotine decreases the half-life of caffeine in your system, allowing you to consume more caffeine and feel fewer effects from it.

This would explain the common trope of people smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee.

That being said, this is pulled out of my memory and I would have to spend quite a while trying to find any evidence of it, although everybody I know that smokes are consumes nicotine also consumes quite a bit of caffeine.

When I was a kid I read that mint flavorings can help the blood vessels in your head dilate, increasing the amount of blood flow to your brain and therefore helping you do better on studying and tests.

Whenever I have a test to study for or to take, I made it a point to keep some sort of mint flavored candy around, and consistently across the board I have always done better on tests than my peers.

That being said, it is entirely plausible that this is a placebo effect, but I like my placebo and it works for me. Perhaps it will work for you as well.
