  1. If he wasn't a complete POS, I'd almost feel sorry for that poor bastard after watching that
  2. Maybe a year or two ago, I was visiting my mom, who now lives with my sister, and I noticed that she wasn't drinking her usual diet coke. I shouldn't have asked, but I wasn't thinking and I asked her something like "what, was diet pepsi on sale or something?" She told me she no longer drinks coke. My sister was silently shaking her head, but I had to ask why. I was informed that "coke is now woke." I immediately changed the subject.
  3. I can say for a fact, my 12 yr old doesn't give a shit about any of that.
  4. Some old or olds have been clicking on fake email phishing scams, and now everybody has to watch an hour of inane videos about internet security. When I logged in to watch the video, a graphic popped up that said "You have clicked on 0 phishing websites in the past 12 months".
  5. Looks like those farmers are reaping what they sowed.
  6. Some body remind me, is it white smoke means they've selected a new AD?
  7. My 12 year old daughter has been texting a lot with this one particular boy. I tried to draw her out, asked her is she thought he like her, and she rolled her eyes, and said "Dad, he's gay. " I said, "oh, I didn't know." She said, "You met him, couldn't you tell?" "How do you tell?" "Nevermind Boomer."
  8. This book inspired me to eat an actual worm. Tasted like shit. I guess I should've cooked it first.
  9. I never realized the word "bar" was actually an acronym.
  10. The 16 presidential records, which were subpoenaed earlier this year, may provide critical evidence establishing the former president’s awareness of the declassification process, a key part of the criminal investigation into Trump’s mishandling of classified docum I have been told numerous times that ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking the law. So why does it have to be proven that he was "aware" that just classifying them with his perfect and beautiful mind is illegal?
  11. So, consensus seems to be Aeron or Steelcase. Thanks gentlemen.
  12. She's fattening up before splitting down the middle like an amoeba.
  13. Dying during sleep doesn't sound so bad.
  14. I've been in almost that exact same spot on Mt. Adams, looking at that exact same view, sometime around summer of 1999 or 2000.
  15. The criticism toward CNN shouldn't be about left vs right. It should be about normalizing lies and treason. The minute that fat orange fuck said something about the election being stolen, the moderator should have cut his mic and said 'I'm sorry, this show will not be a forum for you to spread lies, especially lies that threaten our democracy." The second time he lied, they should have said "this interview is over" and gone to commercial. edit to add: Also, wtf with the "townhall"? Lets let a bunch of partisan morons into the studio. yeah, that will work just fine.
  16. My major complaint with desk chairs is that the apparatus that allows you to lower and raise the seat (usually a lever underneath the seat) begins to wear out after a few years and you slowly sink to the lowest setting. I'm a big guy, pushing 220, but surely a chair exists that can hold that much weight and not eventually start sinking down to its lowest height. Doesn't have to be leather, but should swivel, tilt (I frequently put my feet up on my desk a la Obama no cr), roll, have arm rests, and be able to adjust height without slowly sinking after a few years of hard use, and be comfortable on my bony ass. Lets assume I am surly 3 to 4 %.
  17. Interesting article in the NYT. Reporter takes a bunch of different gun safety classes in different states. (instructors knew she was a reporter). She feels that gun safety classes actually teach people to live in fear. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/16/opinion/firearms-guns-america-safety.html Officially, the message is caution. A line I heard from multiple instructors was: If you are not about to die in the next three seconds, don’t pull the trigger. If you are not 100 percent sure, then don’t shoot. But relentlessly harping on the dangers that surround us changes the way students assess those risks. I experienced it myself. On a recent night I saw a driver who didn’t appear to realize that he was going the wrong way on a one-way street. As the other car approached, I began to slow down, roll down my window and stick my hand out in a friendly gesture. Suddenly I worried the other driver might have a gun. How might he respond to someone slowing down a car and waving at him in the middle of the night? Would he shoot? Probably not. But it’s not the odds, I remember telling myself; it’s the consequences. That’s the great irony of firearms training: In learning how to use a gun for self-defense, something that seems like it might give you confidence and a sense of safety, people end up feeling more afraid than before. “I knew the world was dangerous,” a student told me after class one day, “but this was a real wake-up call.” “He scared the daylights out of me,” I heard from another student, who went straight from class to a gun store. Others who already owned a gun told me the classes made them feel the gun should be bigger, with a larger caliber and more capacity. just what we don't need: More scared pussies carrying more guns.
