What are you basing that upon?
To be fair, there was only room for 6 or 7 of those cars in the spot he picked.
Same!

True or false: in the 1950s, the Chinese Communist Party under leadership of Chairman Mao used extortion, bullying, and manipulation to seize control of private industry. (Hint: it's not false)
Anyway, take care, kid.

Oh wait, no it isn't: thediplomat.com/2017/01/trum...
You mean like the federal government making decisions for and profiting from Intel? You don't think that Trump's governmental stake in the chipmaker has anything to do with communism? Ah, you're right. It's probably just me.
"Commies" is still the go-to insult when Trump is openly embracing Maoist economic principles?
You ok with cereal?
Wow, that's 5 simultaneous wars that Israel was in. Who knew.
It was entertaining for a second. Now it's just stupid. But thanks.
Right. Mkay.
I didn't see that coming, but now it's even funnier. You got a lot going on, my dude.
Your username is "deeppussypounder" and this post is hilarious.
Btw: I’m like 80% sure this is an impostor.
Dammit.
O-line seems to have decided to start playing.
Remember 1991?
Maybe the argument there is that Washoe, Kandi, and others figured out how to use our symbolic languages, but we didn’t learn theirs?
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
I almost said “We can always just look at the CDC death statistics to look at the drop in life expectancy,” and then I realized what I was saying.
“Unused”? No, that’s definitely not how that works.
Twitter had no revenue for its first six years. Later, after 11 years in the red, it finally was starting to profit just before Musk bought it and gutted it. Bsky hasn’t turned 4 yet. And I reject the notion that this user base is a single demo. Check the Newskies feed some time. It’s diverse.
Tease.
To be fair, that's just some janky-ass tarps on a jury rigged frame. An actual dome might've fared better in high winds. Then again, janky-ass tarp orgy probably wouldn't be a popular destination.
Gosh, I too have avoided giving interviews to mainstream media in recent years. I guess that makes me just like Taylor and Donald. Or maybe that’s a fucking stupid way to compare people.
And this entire thread reminds me of this classic Emo Phillips bit: www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3fA...
I believe I'll have another beer...
Many do, but not all. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find any philosophy or religion where all proponents/practitioners believe in exactly the same way, and I suspect that's at the heart of why you're getting so much push-back on your initial comment.
Of course, but they do not believe in gods in many cases. That makes them a-theist. And that’s what you were objecting to. So you’re ok with Buddhist atheists but not Jewish ones?
There are non-theistic religions. Is it safe to assume that you’ve never learned much about Buddhism, Jainism, Daoism, or Confucianism?
She seems nice.
Wolfram Alpha does some cool analytics on names (and other stuff) - www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=Oliv...
Saw him in April of ‘90, just a few months before the crash.
The American Museum of Natural History is a place I have gone at 3 different stages of my life: 10 yrs, 24 yrs, and 53 years - each time has been memorable. If they have any interest in fossils, it’s pretty amazing. If they don’t have any interest in fossils, what the hell?
I’m intrigued by “I've deleted it every time I've tried it”. How many times is that?
Oh, so like "I lived, I loved, I laughed"? That would be "Vixi, amavi, risi." On a super-duper pedantic pronunciation note, in classical Latin, "V" is pronounced like W. So Caesar's "Veni, Vidi, Vici" sounds like "Waynee, weedee, weekee". And yours would be "Weexee, amawee, reesee".
The forms you have there are first person singulars, so that's "I hear, I see, I got to boogie down".
And in the interest of being completely pedantic, if you're addressing a plural group: "Hey gang: live, laugh, and love", you'd want "Vivite, ridete, amate". This is probably the one I'd use if I were trying to reproduce the common saying.
That works if you're after Latin infinitives: literally "to live, to laugh, to love". If you're looking for the imperative, like you're saying "Hey buddy, go out and live, laugh, and love" as though it's a recommendation or command, you'd want to use "Vive, ride, ama".
I feel like this image needs alt text.
The legal bar or an establishment for adult beverages?
You really need to work on your Photoshop skills.
Well, you better leave as fast as possible so they don’t brainwash you. Hurry! Bye now!
Tom, your argument is that the terms should be avoided because they came from academia?
Ew
Nice grammar, dumbfuck.
Gosh, he sure looks dangerous. So glad he’s not a pedophile in the White House. Fuck off, Natasha.
The guy who wants to run the 2028 Olympics and the Kennedy Center? His entire presidency is just about him getting attention.
Just say what you would have normally said, but do it super sarcastically.
Hahaha, ok dude.
Oh look, a real “I do my own research” person!
Mine was extremely tongue-in-cheek. As is nearly always the case with me, I’m not to be taken seriously here.
Florence, The Machine.
Took me a sec…
Oh, so not are you a racist piece of shit, but you’re completely illiterate. I have no idea what you were trying to say. Have you graduated from high school, hillbilly?
I was right: definitely a cry for attention. You need your pacifier, little one? Little bitch ass loser hiding behind an alias because you’re too chicken shit to tell anyone what you think. What a dork.
Well if this doesn’t look like a big fucking cry for attention.
Sure am glad we did the DC museum mega-tour last year.
We should all follow ‘em.
We're doomed.
I have no clue what percentage of shootings come from that 3%.
Just 3% of the population owns half of the privately owned guns. 3) Wal-Mart is notorious for being a ethics-free money-grubbing company that will do most anything to make a buck, and there aren't any laws that will stop them from doing this crap.
A couple of things that might help clarify: 1) Wal-Mart is really more of an all-purpose store. You can buy clothing, food, electronics, furniture, bicycles...and weapons. 2) A small, weird handful of Americans are really serious about their need to have a really large number of guns.
It's a fake conspiracy theory thing where people are mocking climate deniers. There's a more popular one about how birds aren't real.
…and everyone else already made this joke. Dammit.
Nah, I can see him pretty clearly.
Me: “Hahahaha!” {Dammit, I really should have read ‘Twelfth Night’ by now.}
What is “How can I be expected to deal with this bullshit?”, Alex. I’ll take “Super Obvious Things” for $600 please.
Today I learned that Billy Joel = Olivia Newton John + Alanis Morissette. And if anyone gets that comment, you’re weird too.
Oooh…fun game. Ok, I was born while Dwight D. Eisenhower was still alive, who was born before Herman Melville died.
And I hope my wife doesn’t see this post.
Mouth. Has anyone said mouth yet?
I don’t have a list in front of me (it’s in the safe), but I bet you’ve done worse.
And from now on, so do I.
The Mrs: Really? Me: Yeah. The Mrs: That makes a lot more sense. Me: Right?
The Mrs: Yeah, I thought it was like the backup singers? Me: Like they're all named Dawn? The Mrs: {laughing) Yeah. Me: Yeah, no. It's the name of the band. The Mrs: What? Me: Yeah, like there's a band called "Dawn" and Tony Orlando is the singer of it. Not like Tony and Dawn Orlando.
Gen X conversations... [driving thru central Colorado and listening to old pop music on Sirius XM...because we're old] Me: Hey, I don't think I've ever told you this, but until really recently I thought the "Dawn" in Tony Orlando and Dawn was his co-singer.
Too late. Now it’s a Spirit Halloween.
I can’t stand Trump even a teensy bit, but yeah…if he were able to end that war and expel Russia from ALL of Ukraine, including Crimea, then sure…I’ll support that. Aint gonna happen though.
We did Kenya/Uganda 3 years ago and honestly can't wait to get back. Oh, and here's my obligatory giraffe & sun pic.
I'm talking to outfitters about a Tanzania trip for next year. Have a great time!
Extremely envious! What a show!
Very cool...where in Africa? South or East?
I'm dying to hear how the show was last night.
But does “tactical” modify the baby or the carrier?
The Olympics are in Italy in 2026.
Two things: 1) you can change your settings to hide explicit content 2) just in general, stay away from the Discover feed. A better option is finding people to follow via Starter Packs.
State capitalism. And it generally doesn’t go well.
Who says MAGA ain’t romantic?
They’re called skeets.
Agreed. FWIW, they’re definitely dog prints.
