He’s the US director of the FBI. He just shows up and they let him in. What’re they going to do say no? They just let him in, do the photo op, and that’s that. None of them are thinking about it. Half the dudes on the team probably don’t even know who he is. Hockey players are so insulated, that’s why the young guys always do the worst interviews, their entire life has been hockey, and that’s it.
You can’t wear cages in the NHL unless you have an injury.
I had to double check the post, but I’ve concluded that what you said has nothing to do with if.
Bayaz vibes, for sure. Although not sure he’d don the hat.
Yeah, I’m a millennial but I hear (and feel) the same things. And I know Gen X are big on griping. I think it’s human nature to gripe. And that’s not to suggest that things aren’t shit. It’s just human nature to gripe about how shit things are, because sometimes it feels like the only recourse we have.
Yeah, my 8-year-old has the chrome book, but also gets physical homework, paper and pencil. Dunno how it’ll be as she gets older, but I like how it is so far.
I was thinking about trying to find Mavis Beacon and somehow getting it to function on Windows 11. No idea if there’s compatible versions. But I used Mavis Beacon all the time growing up and enjoyed the games, made learning to type (properly) fun.
Right? I’ve seen plenty of people who don’t know how to swing a hammer.
The laptops should be a tool, in addition to other tools. Being well rounded is the best thing you can be.
Oddly enough Bruce was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure, so he takes a statin now. We thought he was just getting old and slowing down a bit, vet caught it, we’ve been doing meds, and he has returned to his old self again, with a touch of senility, a lot of meowing and nothing. But yeah, hopeful it’ll help avoid a stroke.
And the insurance did end up paying, but nine months later after what is referred to as a legal battle. So presumably these folks had to go into their own pockets for it. Typical bullshit.
I had two cats, one who goes out often, one who went out once in a blue moon. The tenses tell the tale here.
And I don’t mean to suggest your statistics are incorrect, just that I find it funny to have experienced the opposite. Bruce Willis lives on, and it’s entirely possible his life ends outside due to any number of reasons, but he just craves the outdoors, to the point of being really annoying about it.
And it’s weird, I always attribute it to my wife having found him and our other cat on the streets, they were both 2-3 years old, but Rudi took to mainly living inside (maybe she’d hang on the porch from time to time, or sat some grass), whereas Bruce yearns for the neighbors’ shrubberies. He’s 14ish, and hopefully we get another 14 out of him, despite him clearly going crazy.
I learned the Vail/Morse thing from a Jon Bois video. His videos have taught me a lot of things, some useful, most trivial, but all stuff.
I dunno, if the vaccine was “safe,” and it really comes down to will this stop me getting a cold, I’d take one for the team. Maybe not the flu or COVID, although COVID never affected me so maybe I wouldn’t be a good candidate.
We just need an island of clones that we can test on, because clones aren’t real!
Avoid it, because it was so good.
Yeah, I’m 38 and remember red pistachios. Also remember finding some sort of worm thing burrowed into one of those red pistachios, while I was sitting at my grandfather’s kitchen table eating pistachios. Didn’t stop me. Well, it stopped me from eating that one. But I’m always leery if a pistachio has a hole in it.
I’ve sat through a lot of depositions in employment cases, and the best thing a potential plaintiff can do is maintain documents and a timeline.
But yeah, this email by itself is nothing. Personally, a simple “Thanks, Brenda” would’ve been my response, because it leaves a lot to interpretation.
Yeah, agree with everything you said. I let my kids play Roblox. I play with them sometimes, been playing some silly Shawarma game, it freaks them out.
So far, the biggest thing we talk about is this desire of every game to enter your wallet, and I tell them that a game shouldn’t be asking you for money, and now they both get annoyed at games that ask for money. I like to think I’ve created a safe environment for them to play in, and when the environment becomes something else, they ask me about it.
So mainly right now the worst that happens is the game is bullshit and they get mad, and I say hey, this game is bullshit (in more PG language), and we move on.
I firmly believe that prohibition just leads to curiosity. I think it’s impossible to insulate them from shit these days, so I’ll be part of their exposure, and hopefully I can help them learn.
Yeah, so when I go to shitpost and people start taking the posts seriously, I try to say hey folks, look where you are, this isn’t a serious community, let’s keep the shit light.
And so yeah, when folks shoehorn political agendas into literally any community they can, I’ll point out how it’s got nothing to do with the community, and how it’s frustrating, because it does not further the community, it just furthers that person’s (or bot’s) agenda.
Thanks for giving me a reason to go look at the picture again. I enjoyed the joke, and then you had me enter a second dimension. Meme recycling.
Damn, thank you. We’re snowed in AF here in Jersey (New), and I needed a good family flick, the kids are shit at helping me pick.
