It took me 6 hours to get this joke.

Pete Ricketts is famous for losing most of his elections. He was appointed to the Senate seat.

It’s confrontational toeards a person who has no power in this interaction and will only prolong it.

They have a script they’re trying to follow so they get get you out of their line and on to the next one. The easiest way out of this is to just lie. It doesn’t have to be subtle. Any answer that fits the script works for them. Think of it more like madlibs than lying.

My phone number is 8765309. If they ask an area code, tell them it doesn’t matter, whichever is their favorite. If Ludacris’s got hoes there, the number goes there.

If they need a name, would you believe it? my name is Jenny. I may be a 6 foot tall Bear looking dude but my name is Jenny.

It’s going to be a real shame to watch him lose to Pete Ricketts. Osborn works hard and genuinely seems to care. Pricketts has only ever been out to grease the wheels for his venture capital family and never gave half a carton of fuck about anybody who wasn’t born rich.

She looks like someone photoshopped her head on. Like how fake celebrity porn used to look

The guy who walked knowingly to his own public execution and never once condemned the practice? That guy??

If the kid isn’t remotely interested at the jump, you’re just pushing a boulder up a hill and everyone is getting angry about it.

Parenting is more like boxing than putting together Legos. Have a plan, absolutely have a plan, but know who you’re dealing with. There are other activities that are enriching that aren’t reading. You don’t get to pick who your kid is anymore than they get to pick who their parents are.

Brother I hear you, I do. The problem isn’t the workplace, the problem is that some people will find this unprofessional enough to removed. Any public facing anything for any company will be heavily scrutinized by a subset of people who actively look for things to removed about.

The professional, whitewashed and soulless veneer on every professional website is the direct result of hoards of bored idiots with nothing better to do than removed about any perceived insult, however slight. You either have an organization that absolutely revels in it, or you end up with the same safe corporate bullshit everyone else has.

Just need to apply the tiniest bit of critical thinking.

Sir this is the Internet

It’s a tarantula. They’re like 8 legged dogs. They want nothing more than to eat small game and cuddle up somewhere warm and safe. As a kid in a day program at a zoo, the handlers would sometimes let us hold them.

I was served a sausage wrapped in a savory crepe by a Balkan woman in Paris when I asked what the “authentic taco” was.

So like, not a taco. It was dope but it was not a taco.

Watery tarts handing out pies is no means for a system of cuisine!

Turns out, yes. Assault is a crime in Greece.

He has 14 kids. He could have a house in every city he vacations in for every single one of them.

Hiroshima was not a military target, that was a lie Truman told to try to smooth over the fact that he’d just committed a horrific war crime.

Two committees—the Target Committee and the Interim Committee—were convened to advise U.S. leaders on the atomic bomb. The prioritization of maximizing the bomb’s psychological impact on the Japanese population and leadership is the common thread that binds the recommendations of the two committees.

But the identification of military objectives by the Interim Committee was a rationalization meant to obscure the true aims of the Hiroshima bombing. The Interim Committee’s recommendation was an endorsement of terror bombing with a legal veneer.

At bottom, Stimson wanted to kill as many workers and their families possible.

I dunno I like his odds for a mid term promotion

It’s unusual this time because the rapist is black.

What about when he raped Desiree Washington?

Dude has always been a piece of shit. He’s just also good at boxing.

They’re not good. But they’re supposed to be that way. I’ve never had anything quite like them outside of the US so it’s hard to think of something to compare them to that a European might be familiar with. They’re brownies in the same way that French fries are vegetables. Technically… Yeah… But no. They’re extremely sweet, taste quite strongly of artificial chocolate which may be a flavor unique to American paletes, and technically resemble a fudgey brownie.

All that to say, this shake did not contain this particular garbage snack.

I suspect what he made was a protein shake with added fiber and artificial sweetener. You can get cosmic brownie flavored protein powder. Protein shakes certainly can have an effect on the gut.

Holy fucking shit. I need to have read this comment 20 years ago.
