Love my 2nd gen Toyota. Runs well. Needs just basic maintenance. It can hold it’s own in any “Made in Murica” pissing contest. And the only annoying thing is the TPMS sensor light, if you could even call that annoying. It’s manual, 4wd, doesn’t record me, no backtalk. As loyal as a truck can be.

Careful with pressies

I use it too. Tried a few different ones and like boost the best. I finally just paid for the non-ad tier. One time cost of 3.99. I would have been turned off by a subscription.

You’re right, that comparison is incongruent. And looking at it again, I can understand the dad’s reaction. It just struck me as funny that he said “almost hit” and then that the kid was two rooms away.

I see your point, it is fucked and if I were him, I’d probably be just as outraged about the risk to my child.

Respectfully, I don’t think that’s how I would react emotionally/psychologically. I’m sure I’m not alone here. I’m a lucky guy, but what’s the chance of space debris hitting my house twice at different times?

“It almost hit my son. He was two rooms over and heard it all,”

I mean, relative to coming from space I guess it almost hit his son. How does he feel about every car he drives past on a two lane road? “Oh shoot! Almost collided with that one too!”

Not in the back there isn’t

That there’s nothing wrong with their personal choices but there is with the hypocritical grandstanding for the sake of political gain.

The kids’ names are irrelevant and diluting to your otherwise good point.

Before Barbie came out, I thought your profile was a marketing/PR team promoting the movie. I’m kinda convinced now that this may just be your account. Celebrities are regular people too and frankly, I only know your characters, not you as a person or how you care to spend your time. But we’re all just people being humans.

I go to my little local movie theater all the time. Three times just this week. My wife and I LOVE the cinematic experience!

I just want to tell you, I REALLY enjoyed Babylon! It felt like an epic tale of the rise and fall of “empires”, whether referring to eras of film making, industry magnates, prolific celebrities of the time, all changing/growing and then devolving through debauchery to depravity and finally, collapse (I imagine the point of the title.) All the characters intertwined through separate, steep trajectories. Reminded me of Casino. I don’t read many reviews or critics; I’m not really sure how it was “officially” received, but from an avid movie-goer in a tiny little mountain town in the US, I thoroughly enjoyed your performance!

That’s not making sense to me. Would you be willing to find your sources? Larger particles would not spend more time in the air as far as I know. It’s almost like you’re claiming it’s better to sneeze wild straight out everywhere instead of into your elbow, handkerchief, or tissue.

Lighten up. This is no way to have a productive discussion. If you aren’t in the mood, then maybe you shouldn’t be commenting right now. Take a breather. We all have bad days. Hope you feel better.

Isn’t Japanese read from right to left?

Looking forward? Maybe you mean expecting

Shhh, the IT guys are trying to have a moment

Likely what you’d imagine. They were larvae, small, fat worms with little short “beaks” for chewing wood, just like a grub. It was a very very faint rhythmic grinding, crunching sound that I just happened to notice one day. Almost thought I was imagining it.

Pun aside, this I’ve done. I could even hear the worms chewing during especially quiet moments. We put cherry slabs under clear plastic in the sun, then peeled the bark and smashed the larva with mallets. Not sure why my boss didn’t want to use borax.

I do exactly the same as the person you replied to, and my wife does what you describe. I think it’s odd too.

The FL situation sounds messed up, absolutely.

I think we can mostly all agree on “paying” the debt to society. I put that in quotes because I don’t think we’re taking about fines which make it the cost of doing business for those in an upper income level. I think we both agree we’re talking about punishments for serious crimes.

With voting, I don’t think it should be taken away at all from citizens. We should have a say in our representation even if we have violated a law. I can’t think of any reason to take away voting rights as payment for a crime, can you? It’s been used to control and disenfranchise minority populations since it’s implementation. It continues to encourage systemic racism

If I understand the first part correctly, you don’t think they should have the right to vote (the right to representation) if they haven’t fully repaid their debt to society? Why not?

Edit: What I’m getting at is why even strip the right to vote to begin with? What purpose does that serve?
