I don’t have kids, but if I did and was buying them their first car it would be a Miata:

The popular vote counts for exactly jack shit in this country.

“They were asked to leave and refused, so the police were notified.”

I think about how I would do this in my house and it sounds good in theory, but then I remember I have a couple of cats who DO NOT accept my bedroom door being closed.

Load was where Metallica was considered to have sold out and gone commercial

Good thing he now has lots of beer with which to dull the pain.

I wonder what her reaction would have been if he hadn’t said anything and let his son argue with the ref? Something along the lines of “See, black people don’t know how to raise their kids”?

Given that Bill does not hold any office nor is (to my knowledge) currently seeking office, what does giving - or not giving - him a pass mean in this context?

I’m with you on the 1 & 2 but why do people need to learn basic coding?

I’m saying that offering longer and longer terms on heavily depreciating assets is, by nature, predatory.
