When I was traveling in Switzerland, I stopped off in a park with my wife and infant in a stroller. I noticed across the way there was a group shooting up (heroin, I think), and they were using over meant supplied needles. So, it seems like the Swiss are giving mixed messages.

I decided to read this as instructions, and did each thing. It felt like a 20 pound backpack fell off of me.

She's is really really full of herself and her character, and seems to think its the world's largest advance for women to take an originally male character and make that a woman. I couldn't bear to even go to the movie because of all the pre-release press from her on how great she was, how great her female character was, and how anyone who didn't like her or the movie was a misogynist.

Right...she's terrified, so of course we should listen to her. Hell, the next child is afraid of zombie alien gorilla clowns, so we should put our effort in protecting against that because children have such unfiltered wisdom.

"Ladies and gentlemen, gladiators and concubines! Tonight's play is by Quentinus Tanrantinus..."

Actors: Oh shit.

Imagine if the Grim Reaper took off a couple months, so people didn't die...people in agony from injury or disease or burns, someone mangled by a shark attack and another person trapped under tons of rock in a mine cave in...someone who is brain dead but has to stick around because his body has worn out but life inexplicably remains.

Roman Catholics don't eat meat on Fridays during Lent. Although Catholicism is one type of Christianity, no other denominations have that provision. Having spent half my life Catholic and another half Protestant, it surprises me that a Catholic would fail to make the distinction, to the point where I doubt certain aspects of this story. If the kids had a very observant Catholic mom, they certainly would have been attending catechism class and know all about this stuff (which is why I do).

The mechanics of the act may be repeatable by a robot or machine, but I don't see how it could fake *enthusiasm*.

Did anybody else notice one guy missed the boat on period-appropriate footwear, with those construction boots, and another guy is wearing socks with his sandals?

Yeah, hitting that deer at 10 mph over the speed limit will be drastically different than hitting at the speed limit.

When Trump is still the least bad alternative.

All the current Dem candidates said they'd choose to give free health care to illegal immigrants. That's despite not having such a thing for citizens or even just veterans. How could any of them be elected after agreeing with such a stupid statement?

How DARE the British want control over their borders, rather than rely on the EU politicians to make those decisions. In fact, more countries should be annexed into the EU even if it has to be against their will, and any country that doesn't want to join should be ridiculed just as hard as we're ridiculing the UK for voting to leave.

Wait...taking responsibility to "do something" about an issue, and not protest that the government isn't spending enough money to take care of it? WTH?

Tbh, we can observe basketball existing. There are a lot of other debatable things that people are excoriated for doubting but their existence is extrapolated from recent data.

Or, something exists, but the claim that it's caused by man is in question because such a thing has existed from millenia before man came on the scene.

*ballth

When my company laid off 8000 out of the 10,500 of us, and canceled our pensions despite some of us being there a long time (25 years for me), I knew that there wasn't any "loyalty" going my way. In my group, five people got laid off and I got the work from four and a half of them. We also had Temporary Layoff weeks each quarter to save the company some of our salaries, and they asked me to take an extra one in one quarter. No raises for five years out of seven. When there were raises, they didn't make up for what we lost against inflation in the years there weren't raises, and barely covered the additional costs of paying more for benefits.
You can imagine my thoughts when the subject of company loyalty comes up. Or, when after 5 or 6 years, a presentation included the phrase "people are our most important resource." But, I keep my mouth shut at work and vent to you guys, so thanks for reading.
I am between one year and two years from "pursuing other objectives;" feels good.

I'm especially good at E-Jac-U-Lating!

Not recognizing and promoting Diversity, therefore in violation of our modern standards of Tolerance and Acceptance.

Hmmm...potentially embarrassing, awkward or job-losing situation...better post it on social media.

Whoever posted that is single or is a woman wanting men to clean more but conveniently forgot about a lot of arguments. Do you know how many WRONG ways there are to clean? Did you know that the pile,of junk on the table has a certain order that you ruined by moving in order to clean? Did you know that pile of clothes is actually several piles that are grouped a certain way.

Yeah, single people, keep,giving me marriage advice.

Yes...much better to kill the children than subject them to the 50th worst education. I also heard that a fourth of our states are in the lowest quartile of education. Someone needs to fix that, too.

To be accurate, since it's France, the road disappears under four meters of water.

All women should boycott this development because it wasn't developed by a diverse team, but by four men. Fight the patriarchy!

In fact, we should all stop saying boycott, but start saying youthcot to be more tolerant of those who don't cis-identify. Youthcot the word boycott!

But it makes people FEEL like they're "doing something" even if it doesn't really do any good.

Easy enough to check. "OK, show us your car, and give me the keys so I can check the fuel level."

That's really nice for them to supply all that stuff, but isn't there a certain amount of waste? I get that someone who doesn't have toothpaste might also need deodorant, but if a woman prefers pads or tampons, isn't the other one going to be discarded? Or is it better to have both than to have to ask for things like that separately? Or is the cost small compared to being able,to give out one thing that works for all?

"We see the embryo as part of the mother's body..." Well, nowadays we understand genetics, and the embryo has a different genetic makeup as the mother.

Seriously, before you bad mouth Christianity, understand that the prolife people are against convenience abortions, not ones necessary to save the mothers life. The book I read had an interview with a doctor, who said he had never experienced that situation, so it's not occurring every day.

Scientists, doctors, skin care experts: Use sunscreen!
Everyone: LOL

If you are a strong independent woman who don't need no man, why didn't you think ahead and plan for the changing weather? I guess that's as unreasonable as thinking you might look down at the toilet seat to see if it's up or down before sitting.

So, jtizzle says that in some cases, men's products aren't the same as women's. My guess is that it was in repsonse to a comment how women's stuff costs more than men's, and that's just unfair, to which someone responded that you can just use the men's item. So, in essence, this shows that the women's products that are different have a reason to be more expensive.

How I interpreted this:
The family I babysit for bought a third car FOR ME TO USE because it's convenient for them to have me drive their kids around in a car they own because I have no car of my own (or perhaps it's a $#+ box that's not safe for the kids). If one of the kids is, say, 12, then that can be his/her car in a few years. If one of the kids is 12, the parents Amy still need a baysitter because of everyone going different directions for sports, music and extracurricular activities.

Interesting the point that this supports:
The west should try to reduce pollution to the extent that it affects the local environment (don't litter, vehicle emissions standards) but don't wreck our economies trying to eliminate our small portion of global impact while India and China keep putting out most of the world's air pollution and ocean junk, which we can't affect by banning plastic straws. Then when we discover technical/industrial means to really help global pollution, we'll have the financial means to actually do it.

That atually captures the mentality of today: Be "tolerant" of all viewpoints that you personally like or at least don't dislike, but if you might be in danger of hearing a point or position you don't like, define it as "Nazi" and you suddenly become justified in blocking anyone else from possibly hearing it aand using violence to prevent anyone from trying to explain the position you don't want to hear.

That hateful comment pretty much proved the original point she was trying to make.

Is this one of those things where it takes a lot of energy to collect the coffee grounds, transport the coffee grounds to a factory, mix the grounds with a binding agent, press the grounds into a shape and heat the shape so it retains its form when subjected to hot wet coffee, but it makes people *feel* very environmentally conscious as long as they don't notice that its energy cost is higher than just using normal cups?

No! Only the United States is bad and has bad laws.
