This seriously points out something that drives me nuts. If a guy can take a hint and tell her "maybe some other time," he might be able to chat with her another time when she isn't as pressed for time or doesn't feel the need to be so wary (like meets him on campus instead of in a bar where she has to keep her eye on her drink at all times). Or, if she's got a beau or he just isn't her type, he doesn't alienate all her friends who might be around or might ask her later if she knows the guy who started to express some interest in the second girl.
Girls need to be on the lookout for guys who are @$$holes, so why confirm that you are one? It's like a 2-year-old's tantrum to say "Well, you're ugly anyway" because you didn't get what you wanted when you wanted it.

Lord MacB kinda was a pussy compared to his wife.

The spirit is not ascending to heaven, but descending...maybe because of the inherent wickedness of 25 mph zones.

Is there such a thing as wetlands with a neutral pH?

The ophthalmologist office that SHOULD HAVE offered free retinal exams, but spell check or some kind of error at the sign maker had them offering "Free Rectal Exams"...

It's a call center where customers are happy to speak to someone in the US when seeking assistance, and not the kind that calls me while I'm busy and wants to sell me Medicare Advantage, final expense insurance, or a home security system, right?

Vegans are allowed to see a photo of fried chicken, just not eat it, right?

He's pretty big...take him with you when you walk into the club.

One funny aspect is the conformity some people "rebel" against is a creation, and they actually are conforming more. "Oh, society is so racist? I'll treat people equally!" when everybody you know holds that out to be the way people should act. Or "I'm so countercultural because I speak the unvarnished truth" when in reality so does everyone else you interact with.

....I dunno, man. It looks like he's about to say "One people! One Nation! One LEADER!!"

Is it bad that I remember Conan the Barbarian responding to "What is best in life?" with: "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women"?

…and that you ditched that perfectly operating gas stove for an electric.

A Swiss Army Knife is like a little sword… might be worth 3X to 5X.

It’s hard to understand step 5 of math prior to being taught steps 1-4.

Did he press the doorbell, or just rubbit?

Initial mass is 0.1.

C'mon guys, he probably gets a new bottle of Listerine every decade, whether he needs to or not.

As dopey as that idea is, looking back at 2023, there's still a non-zero % chance that a biolab somewhere would have thought about doing it.

About once a year, I read a review for a book or hear about one in some way, but my library doesn't have that book. But, they can get it on intra-library loan. My local library is one of the biggest "bang for the buck" uses of tax dollars.

He is like one step away from becoming the next "Voytek the beer-drinking Nazi-fighting Bear."

I noticed the writing version of that on The Motley Fool discussion boards.

Boomer dad here, changed plenty of diapers, went to many many games/matches/concerts/shows over the years from having four kids. I look around and see coworkers missing important events of their kids' lives, and am reminded how glad I am to have made the choice I did. I worked a few years longer than if I'd made my career my #1 priority, but retiring at, say, 57 vs. 60, my youngest would've been in college, and I'd still have missed a huge part of what I consider important.

Plus, I know my kids' friends, many of my kids' friends' parents, and they know me. Parents who don't let their kids stay out after a certain time do let their kids stay at my house for a bonfire because they know what's happening and what's NOT happening.
