To be fair, I suspect the average adult in real life probably only remembers, and uses, 5th grade math.

It’s a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it.

You know, I would like to believe that these people are going to learn their lesson while in jail, but for some reason I doubt it. I don’t know, maybe it’s the fact that after everything trumpty dumpty has said and done, including saying he’s going to be a dictator, and half the country still wants to hand him the country on a silver platter (like everything else in his life)? I don’t understand it.

It’s a fantastic idea on paper; you, and another family, want to go on vacation but want to be more comfortable than in a hotel while renting your homes out while you’re gone so someone one else gets the same comfort and you get to make a little of money to help pay for the vacation. And everyone saves a little on their vacation accomodations to boot. Everyone wins! And then capitalism and greed happened and people turned the rentals into a business and ruined it.

Why not both!

I think /u/WarmSoda may be as pleasant in real life as their username.

I’m not informed enough on the specifics of why those two countries are/were against Sweden joining, so I can’t speak to that, but every member of the alliance has to approve new members, which is why anyone gives a shit what they think or want. Of course, a healthy alliance isn’t one that ignores its members, so even if their approval wasn’t required, it would probably still be best to get it.

If she has kids, they gotta be the most well behaved kids in the history of the universe.

Oh, and ignore the fact that the winter storm took out the power because we have our own grid and it’s barely regulated, making it predictably not able to handle the kind of winter storms we’re now more likely to get due to the climate change that we don’t believe in.

For now.

It just occurred to me that these things look sort of like the Zumwalt class stealth destroyers. Has anyone tested this thing against police radar guns? I mean it’s still ugly as hell, but if it’s harder for the cops to bust you for speeding…

In the picture of him swearing an oath to support the constitution, he has a hand on the bible and another raised, so he must have been crossing his toes. That totally counts…in kindergarten.

Do dogs play poker?

What are you saying? We’re not supposed to form ignorant mobs with pitchforks?

Is that what she is saying or is she saying that Muslims in the US normally get a lot of hate and since many people are upset by Israel’s actions Jewish people are now getting a taste of that?

Maybe I’m missing some additional context but it doesn’t read to me like she’s condoning the hate towards any specific group, but simply pointing out that it exists.

Maybe she’s full of crap or maybe she’s highly educated on the topic, I don’t know. I do know that it appears to me that people are putting words into her mouth. Again, maybe I’m missing something in the story?

“It’s not my fault. Please don’t send me to jail for as long as I deserve for beating a sleeping old man with a hammer.”

Luckily, minimum wage in my state is $7.25/hr, so restaurants almost never have to cough up anything over the $2.13/hr they’re required to pay servers!

What may not be as clear as it could be in this thread is that the referendum was for whether or not Catalonia should secede from Spain. I doubt that there is any country that would be okay with one of its states (in the most generic sense of that word) voting to secede. In fact, I know of one country that fought a bloody war over it.

I think the reason he hasn’t fled is because he’s so narcissistic and delusional that he honestly believes that he did nothing wrong.

I suspect that they meant a source that indicates that this is a path of research that is currently being pursued and likely not due to skepticism, but rather interest. I can understand, because I didn’t know it was something that people were actually researching; I mean, I first heard of the idea in a sci-fi novel!

Personally, I like to try to give people the benefit of the doubt, so I’m going to assume that maybe you were/are just having a bad day and didn’t mean to be rude. I hope that the rest of your day was/is better!
