Yes, it is a failing of the poor for not creating generational wealth out of the crumbs they get to fight over.

You fucking idiot.

Death to the demoness Allegra Geller! Death to eXistenZ!

Mine runs fairly well down to -30 c.

Not really correcting, just adding a data point.

She becomes the actual protagonist of the book leaving Carl in his rightful spot. Cleaning litterboxes.

(jk. kinda.)

There is just as much anti-semitism in the leftist spaces as there are braincells in your skull. Which is to say - not enough to matter in any way.

Do you have a single word term that fits the description better than this one?

And not just escape tourism. Business travel too.

I may be just small potatoes, but my refusal to take onsite work in the US since the orange menace took office again has meant that 3 people who used to spend ~40% of their time in US hotels, eating at US restaurants, and paying US transportation costs, are now staying in Canada or picking up the pace with EU clients.

This person has been informed that the character is worthless at its stated goal of being AI poison. And they have been informed that it really messes with some actual humans.

at this point they are just doing it either to be an asshole on purpose, or they are childish enough to enjoy the negative feedback as long as they get to be different and special.

Raccoons like to poop on top of their old dried poop. raccoon poop looks a lot like human poop. especially when more than one animal is using that latrine.

in the forest they often do it where two trails meet.

think about that before jumping out of a bush.

and if it was a raccoon don't handle that poop please. call animal control.

[edit to add] if you want some nightmares; google 'pinworm human infection' and then stay far away from raccoon droppings.

I watched a lady bring a small dead bird in a ziploc onto the Metro in Montreal and then proceed to pluck its feathers onto the floor.

and we aren't talking about your game hen or a quail here or something. I'm lalking about a fucking sparrow or something like that.

This was the movie Caught Stealing. Pretty good flick if you can stomach a lot of violence.

Imagine my (mild) shock after doing my own brakes for 30 years and then coming upon this tidfbit of knowledge JUST after buying parts for my truck.

For anyone else navigating all the misinfo around doing this on a ford truck:

Set the ignition to ON.

Press and hold the accelerator pedal and place the electronic parking brake (EPB) switch in the APPLY (upward) position. Continue to hold the accelerator pedal and the electronic parking brake EPB switch.

Firmly press the brake pedal for at least 1 second. Release the brake pedal while continuing to hold the accelerator pedal and the EPB switch.

Set the ignition to OFF then set the ignition to ON within 5 seconds, then release the accelerator pedal and the EPB switch.

Are you fucking high? His suicide note spefically calls out capitalism and its impact on making art.

I proposed with a borrowed ring because I couldn't even afford a basic dollar store ring at the time.

Part of the added lore is how I faced my anxiety to go ask her great grandmother if I could borrow a ring, and then being lead through the old folks' home to meet a woman who was the mother of one of our country's most famous hockey players and telling her our story. Then borrowing the ring and receiving a letter on our wedding day that sadly the lady could not attend, but she wanted us to keep the ring...

So much better (for us) than something like "Yup here is 6 months of my salary in useless jewelry form".

We just had our 17th anniversary in May.

Downvotes don't impact your ability to explain the reasoning behind your questionable claim. Don't be a coward.

Hi. Its me, Friday. How did this go?

(seriously asking. I haven't had time to follow-up yet)

just wait till you learn about how accurate hot desking software is.

Jesus Christ, if you didn't think your company knew if you were in one building or another before today, you're a fucking idiot.

I've been doing this stuff for 30 years. The helpful blog post that took 8 pages of text to explain how to schedule a job just made me angry.

I think I am finally into greybeard territory even though my beard made the change a few years ago. Damn.

fun fact. going slightly, and I mean slightly, under the recommended tire pressure is better for winter than overfilling. a little bit more flex means more rubber is in contact with whatever surface you are currently riding on.

it is not cowardly to avoid conversation

Hard disagree. You made a thinly veiled point. Unveil it.
