That reminds me of how some corporate misconduct occasionally has a monetary penalty that's less than the amount they got. Like Wells-Fargo paying a fraction of the money that they screwed some customers out of by steering them to higher loan amounts.

Does he have to fly on the other side of the road or something?

This is suppose to b a joke because it's really "over the top." But, my Twitter feed has been full of videos from TikTok where people do even stupider things than that. Apparently, this gets the person TikTok followers and views, which is what they're going for.

I think it's the terrible logic that ruins this sentiment. Very few of us would extend his logic to beating one's spouse, that is, "my religion prevents me from beating my spouse so I don't, but I won't impose my morality on others." So, we have there be laws that arrest and jail abusers.

Is this meme referencing people who believe in the efficacy of vaccines (like for polio) that are good for life, but don't trust the efficacy of vaccines that require continual boosters and the value of ones whose side effects were covered up?

Imagining being a fly on the wall in this classroom, where some students are worried about the grade they'll get due to all this fooling around:
Student reading miscellaneous character: "What if we should fail?"
"Lady" Macbeth: "Screw your courage to the sticking place, and we'll not fail!"

Huh. I suppose a deer rifle is just a chemically assisted thrower of metal pebbles.

In that belief system, you only "move up" if you've led a good life, right? If you were self-absorbed, vain, conceited, prideful or materialistic, you "move down," don't you? *Trying* to move to a wealthier station in life is just proof of selfishness and materialism.

Taking a look around, I really wonder how many people are in line for a better situation than what they've got. Plus, the ones really deserving of a "promotion" are probably the ones thinking "I can help so many more needy people from my spot among them than from some ivory tower" (e.g., Mother Teresa).

As a salary worker in a union factory--
-Mornings on the way in: Stuck behind dawdling workers "Whatsa matter? You in a hurry?"
-Afternoons on the way out: "Get outa the way, slowpoke!"

Interesting side-wrinkle: When people choose a name from an active series, but then that character becomes really dislikeable but the kid's too old to change the name.

I bought a used HP printer in an unknown state of functionality. I figured that it would be worth the cost of aftermarket ink cartridges to see if it even worked. The printer knew that the ink cartridges weren't genuine HP ones, and refused to work. Checking HP's web site, that's because they don't want me unsatisfied with the pint quality due to potentially inferior aftermarket ink cartridges. They don't seem to mind that I'm extremely unsatisfied for a different reason.

Rewatching all the '70s and '80s English TV shows, which really go out of their way at the beginning and end to say they're from the BBC.

Plexiglass?

That makes me quack up. Every flockin' time.

I went to see a sequel with another couple, and the wife had never seen the first movie. She kept asking her husband "Who is that?" and "Why's he doing that?" I wanted to crawl into a hole until the people behind her "shushed" her.

"Tiger Shot For Acting Like A Tiger."

It would've been better if they'd have quantified the claim, like "Reduces Cannibalism 78%!"

On one hand: This isn't all that funny, is it?
On the other hand: This is the only one that made me snort today, hence the upvote.

I've only read about 40% of guest's myriad of posts, but I think the main idea was missed: The residents of Martha's Vineyard were bragging about how they were a "sanctuary city," but only until it was time to actually give anybody sanctuary. Then they couldn't get rid of sanctuary-seekers fast enough.

It's a shame people were used as pawns, but it's interesting when people won't make good on any portion of their boasting and virtue signaling.

That actually makes sense, though, besides the "show me some ankle" mentality.
What guys think looks sexy: Girl in a bikini and heels, maybe girl in lingerie or Princess Leia Slave outfit
What girls think looks sexy: Guy in a really well fitted suit, maybe tie askew.

(Note: *Mostly* true, not 100% of the time for 100% of the people.)

"I just HAD to go to my dream college, and went into massive debt for this degree that doesn't lead to any job someone would pay me to do, but everybody else had is so much easier than do."
