There should be a corollary to or alternate version of Poe’s Law about not being able to tell the difference between the natively bad grammar of an under-educated low-IQ idiot ranting online and a poorly-translated piece of foreign astroturf propaganda...

I don’t know whether to laugh out loud at the irony of misspelling simple words in the same statement that you belittle someone for being an intellectual, or cry at the consistency of how that proves the writer is not, in fact, an intellectual.  Or educated.  At all.

It’s true. Common courtesy, much like common sense, seems to become increasingly uncommon with time.  This appears to be all that the signs are objecting to:  that people no longer know or care how to accept an important call without disturbing everyone around them.

It is now, but yesterday morning it was a YouTube live feed.  Solid progress bar, live label, the works.  I don’t remember if it was in one of these comments or elsewhere, but someone posted a sign of a room at the tower (which is apparently a bed & breakfast, if you can believe that) where a whole bunch of those…

It looked brand-spanking new this morning.  Chilling.

I’ll admit that the tone is a little questionable of a choice, but think of it this way: money is not property. It’s not. It’s not a possession, an heirloom, or anything of the sort. Money is unique.

Dude! The Romans paid Judas, and Shekels were never a Roman currency.  Words really do matter in some cases, as you’ve just proven.  Hatred is infectious, and you’ve been infected.

Not only is that way more than 3 ingredients, why on earth would you ever try to dig the bone out of a pork shoulder? That thing is shaped like a freaking boat anchor! When you could just slow-cook the thing (on the stove if you want, in the crock pot if you’re a sane person), and the meat will stay behind when you…

That’s not socialism any more than our present predicament is true capitalism. What you’re describing is the all-too-unfortunately-ubiquitous reality that 1.) no government in history has ever voluntarily set up a socialist state - they all had to experience revolutions, violent or otherwise, And 2.) none of them ever…

That’s what I was doing (because they do take them every day, both of them), but I got tired of how frequently I was going to Dollar Tree as they ran out or got nervous about running out. Now I can just about make it through six weeks or so before they need more, longer if I can convince them to get 2 500=count bottles…

One, a family or couple with chronic pain and an intolerance to or med interaction with the OTC alternatives might. Nobody said it was going to be consumed by a single person. Two, expiration dates for most OTC meds are still a sell-by date just like on any other consumable. They’re arbitary, for inventory control…

Boy is this ever the truth. I mean, it’s manifestly correct for prescription meds, but OTC stuff is just a joke. Here’s an example I recently discovered running errands for my elders:

You are living under a bridge. The only thing you have to eat is whatever you can fish out of garbage dumpsters. Every day bigger, stronger homeless people come by your soggy cardboard lean-to and try to take what little you have by threat of force.

I legitimately thought this was going to be about food safety, as I bet many others who clicked through did also.

Isn’t Nike a pretty expensive name brand? I don’t doubt the quality but if one is spending public funds perhaps something less than the top-of-the-line brand should be considered in the first place.

You did. It’s a political issue when you’re telling the opposition or people who support them to shut the hell up. It’s a social issue when people are telling you to shut the hell up.  See previously established “It’s not a crime when we do it” doctrine for precedent.

This is going to sound more rude than I mean it, but my original post stands. As annoying as mobile ads can be (in ways that ads encountered during non-mobile browsing somehow are not, with the scrolling and full-page occlusion, constant lying close buttons that actually click through, etc.), This procedure was about…

You can barely make a normal-sized sandwich at home for under $5 these days. Even house-brand, preservative-loaf mystery-meat cold cuts and “made entirely of oil and whey” fake plastic cheese singles are over $5 a pound now, well over in some cases. 4 ounces of that, 2 ounces of the cheese, 2 slices of mysteriously…

That’s not necessarily a bad thing, you know. There are totally people (thankfully not many, in fact I might be down to a singleton now) walking this Earth today blissfully unaware that the only reason they are still breathing is because my own soul and self-respect are worth more to me than revenge.

I completely forgot that there was a Trump expy in Vice City. Damn, but that was a fun game. One of few I’ve played over and over start to finish, back in the day.
