This sounds about right. After the head gasket failed on my wife’s Outback, warranty problems, and 4 month (4!) repair time, small claims court and just endless fuckery, I will say:

I’m concerned that the governor of Texas thinks “watching video games” is a problem.

Hustling your way up can work for a lot of people. The fact is, some people will always be at the bottom. Maybe that’s all they are capable of. These people are still entitled to a wage that affords them dignity, food, shelter and healthcare.

I have no idea how people live like this. I worked jobs like this in HS and college, like a lot of people. I just needed beer money, so it didn’t really matter. I can’t imagine trying to have a family or paying rent.

That was crass as hell, and she definitely is associated with some racist stuff, but is her saying that racist? Am I missing something?

Yeah, people encounter black bears all the time. The ratio of black bear encounter to attack is like 8 million to one.

Bear spray, or any pepper type spray designed for animals, is also effective against cougars.

he was probably deadlifting (he has straps on his wrists) and anything lifting your feet from the ground will affect leverage. so he was probably in just socks for the lift.

I didn’t realize even the Focus was that small. I just assumed it would work for any single car seat. thanks for the heads up.

This sounds interesting. I looked for this but couldn’t find anything--do you have a link or more details?

Sometimes you want to go to a drive-in movie and can’t have any exterior lighting on your car.

I’ve been using restrooms for decades and I’ve never seen an undressed person just hanging out. If that’s how you spend time in public bathrooms, I think we’ve found the problem here.

They’re also at work. It’s the insidious “gainfully employed welfare mooch” we hear so much about.

to be fair, he should have never been flying in Vietnam to begin with. If he wasn’t well-connected, his military career would have been short and undistinguished, and not involved piloting a plane (and getting shot down).

Yeah, maybe I’m an aberration, but I find my tastes have aged with me. I’m in my 30s, though. there’s probably a ceiling somewhere.

Agreed. Greenwell’s take on Coolhand Luke is solid, though. Those eggs, man.

At the College Park one, which would be closest to Georgetown, you can. They’re like 40 cents and taste like mid-grade cat food.

It makes no sense. He’s yelling at employed people, at work, about paying for their “welfare.” I don’t know their financial situation, but accusing people of being lazy welfare mooches at their place of employment seems dumb.

That’s true, but von Trier saying some spectacularly ill-advised, seemingly unplanned remark isn’t quite as bad as a pedophile fleeing justice over the course of several decades.
