I liked it a lot growing up in the US. I still have the mental image of them “fixing” a flat tire (by duct taping a new tire to the flat) and the good tire popping off and rolling away when they drove away.
If women can’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
Hopefully COPS.
I like how it says “defensive and will bite if provoked,” and apparently, according to this thread, opening their cage is sufficient provocation.
My method is “live in Alaska.”
I was going to say VHS Michael Jackson Thriller and Making Of Thriller.
Her and Olivia Rodrigo are my go-to for teaching my daughter “how not to be.”
I had never heard it before, but it sounds like a song that would play on some straight-to-dvd knockoff of a Disney movie with janky 3d animation, with the director’s daughter playing and singing the lead role.
Yeah, I still can’t hear “Cheek to Cheek” without getting residually wrecked.
What Dreams May Come is incredible in so many ways. It’s incredibly beautiful, incredibly sad, and just hits everything so perfectly. It just hits on so many emotional points and uses in such artistry to convey it. I love it so much.
I was just thinking how much I hate that song. Not enough to automatically put it on the bottom, but it’s close.
I feel the same about “Daughters” by John Mayer. That song sounds like my will to live gently sapping away.
I didn’t have a solid answer to the question until I read this. Absolutely gets the worst response from me.
First two chords and I’m like “nooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!”
Good point! Then again, I don’t think some flavors result in less brain freeze than others.
That doesn’t mean it’s not a “lesser evil” decision. If you have to choose between chocolate ice cream (with brain freeze) or black licorice (with brain freeze), that would still be a case of lesser evil (because black licorice is disgusting and gives brain freeze).
Wait, wait…
So war in Iran… helps Ukraine. But it also supports Israel. This is a little too complicated, I want bad guys and good (or at least less bad/powerful guys), not one bad guy causing problems for another bad guy which causes problems for another bad guy.
Hey, Israel! If you want to just bomb the shit out of weapons manufacturing facilities in Iran and quit your shit in Gaza, I will support you and my government tossing money at you for that purpose.
I think a simple matter that if you roll around on the ground “in pain,” you get removed for medical attention and for the rest of the game for monitoring. If you’re injured, you’re injuried. If you’re being a whiny baby, you don’t deserve to be in the game. If you’re faking, you deserve to be ejected. But in all cases it comes to the same conclusion.
Oh, and this doesn’t automatically mean a foul. It’s not like a person can’t get hurt when no foul occurs. I hurt myself stepping out of bed in the morning.
Are those specific instances that are federated in (that can be separately blocked, like people do with .ml)? Or is it just another access point for any given instance?
Yeah, I’m pretty torn. In my small community (on an island), housing and rent are insanely expensive, and also pretty scarce. There are people who have full time jobs living in tents in the woods or in their cars (in Alaska) not because they can’t afford a place to stay, but because there are no places to rent.
It’s also a major tourist spot, and the population more than doubles regularly on days during the summer, and for those that fly in, the hotels book up quick. So there’s a huge AirBnB market. Which means houses are getting bought up and then set up as AirBnBs instead of renting to residents, so housing becomes even more scarce. So I hate AirBnB.
But… I just bought a 4 bedroom house, where one of the beds is in a built in 1-bedroom apartment, with its own kitchen and everything. We wanted a 4bedroom house so we could have a guest room for people visiting, as well as just have extra space for us. Well, once I retire, one of our plans is to rent that out as an AirBnB during the times we don’t have guests staying. It doesn’t deplete housing in the area (we wouldn’t be renting it out anyway), and it helps pay our ridiculous mortgage.
So I hate it… but if it’s used properly/ethically, I feel like it could be pretty good.
Tuba.
Gotta have that sweet bass. Maybe some Flight if the Tuba Bee or Tuba Polka by Canadian Brass. Chef’s kiss.
Okay, look, as a parent, I can tell you you have to tread a fine line. If you don’t “force feed” your kid (specifically, aren’t allowed to leave the table or eat anything else), they’ll end up eating nothing but chicken nuggets, fries, mac & cheese, and apples. That is not a balanced diet.
However, forcing them to eat absolutely anything and everything is extreme, too. I don’t like everything. I wouldn’t want somebody to force me to eat mushrooms.
So at any given meal, they can choose one and only one thing they don’t like and don’t have to eat. And I do try to avoid giving them things they obviously don’t want to eat (not even going to try putting broccoli on their plate even though it’s delicious).
Plus it’s a sliding scale: if I could get my 3-year-old to eat, and it wasn’t junk food, I was happy. When he turned 5, he had to start expanding his food out a bit (turns out he’s basically vegetarian except chicken nuggets, but he loves cucumber, carrots, salad, oranges, apples, etc because we made him eat them for a bit). Our 11-year-old, hoever, is expected to eat what we eat (minus spicy or overly spiced things, kids’ palates are different), but can make small exceptions. If she’s like “I don’t like any of this,” that doesn’t fly, though.
All that to say “Force feeding kids is so fucked up” is ignoring a lot of necessary nuance.
First time I bought a firearm in my life (after 40 years on this earth) was specifically protection from bears when I moved to Alaska.
I get that I’m part of that very small percentage, but it’s funny to be pointed out for it when where I am it is super common (also common to see people strapped on hiking trails with their kids and dogs).
