I do recommend drugs, at least weed and the hallucinogens.

Their Shakes are pretty good.

my parents also wanted me to stop listening to it because my dad found one article about a guy who beat up his girlfriend and he apparently liked Metallica

My dad once picked me up from a party when I was in high school in the 1980s; he noticed a video that was playing on MTV and was highly disturbed by the imagery in it, as he told me later (many times).

The video was “Cuts Like a Knife” by Bryan Adams. My dad thought he was losing me to Satan because of fucking Bryan Adams!

no pun intended

None taken.

Yes, it will take him some time to sift through all the secret intel that only popes get to see lol.

LOL

extra power under load to the rear wheels

Lol like there’s enough room back there to add a load.

Russia chose to invade a nation that had recently discovered large reserves of natural gas - more than enough to supply Europe’s needs while they transitioned to alternatives - and that sat astride the pipeline that Russia uses to provide their gas to Europe. Even though Russia has not proved capable of conquering all of Ukraine, their occupation of the Donbas region has prevented Ukraine from becoming a viable natural gas competitor in the European market and kept their primary source of revenue alive, at least in the short term.

Nice to see the phrase “global heating” instead of the wimpy “global warming” or the even more milquetoasty “climate change”. I prefer the phrase “anthropogenic runaway global heating” because it makes clear the scale and severity of the problem as well as its origin, and also for the handy acronym.

Remember, the Constitution allows slavery! Plus, it only bans punishments that are cruel and unusual - punishments that are just cruel or just unusual are fine!

This is one of the things that annoyed me about the latest Dune movies: all the switches in the cockpits of the ornithopters. Nothing else in that universe seems to require switches, but the ornithopters are set up like 1980s helicopters for some reason.

I (M) saw Sinead O’Connor in the early '90s and almost the entire audience was 13-year-old girls dressed in black who screamed every time Sinead made a weird hand gesture. Still probably the best concert I’ve ever been to - Sinead was a fantastic real singer and her band was tight. RIP and fuck Joe Pesci.

It was last year! I found out they were playing in my area … the day after they played. I haven’t been to a concert in 18 years but I would have gone to that one.

He doesn’t even write his tweets, let alone his speeches.

Hitler actually put a great deal of work and practice time into becoming a good public speaker. Can you imagine Trump putting that kind of effort into anything? Even golf?

At the start of every summer, I rediscover grape soda and I’m like “holy shit this stuff is great”. And then about 7 cans into the case I remember why I stopped drinking it. It’s kind of funny that it’s only ever available in the store brand, never in a “real” brand.

I used to love asking for a can of Diet Coke … and then seeing everybody around me with that “shit, I could have gotten a whole can?” look on their faces.

the health benefits of remaining active and an optimistic mindset

Not to mention the health benefits of being fucking rich.

I went to grad school in the '90s and one of our friends used to show up to our house parties with her infant in tow and get blackout drunk and pass out, and we would have to collectively take care of the baby. Weird to think that kid is in his 30s by now, if he’s even still alive. The double whammy of fetal alcohol syndrome and growing up in Florida would be hard to overcome.

We’re on our front foot

He’s on his ass … which is remarkable since he’s talking out of it at the same time.
