Seconded. Part of owning a dog isn’t just believing he won’t do stuff, it’s making other feel safe when you’re in public with him.

The government doesn’t run health care, it sets up guidelines and regulations to keep it on track. Insurance companies and health care facilities always have and always will run the industry.

First the one, then the other—if you’re young.

It only works though if you really DO have those leads. I’m at a place where I’m at the top of my pay scale (which ain’t a ton) for what I do. There are few places left in town where I can go to keep my salary range. With a family and roots down in the area, moving is out of the question too.

My biggest problem is that the only time I have to read a book is at night in bed. By then, the act of reading (not the actual reading material) almost always puts me to sleep. :-(

I loved it. It was as over the top as I’d hoped but it still had heart. Kung Fury was good too, but never went deeper than it’s initial beat’em up concept. At least Turbo had a love story and bit more too it.

Wow, so they’re still working on it! The last KS I saw they said they’d be posting more updates and then nothing followed. That was maybe, April/May of ‘16.

Thunderbeam is one of the first KS campaigns I supported. Held out hope for so long since the team was/is talented. But it’s apparent now that they’ll never deliver. Bummer, the visuals were fantastic.

MESS? Turbo Kid is AWESOME!

Thank you for this! I never did get Final Draft for scripts, stuck it out with Word (which....is fine, but not ideal). Now I’ve got an alternative!

Never ever become friends with your co-workers on social media.

Done this successfully twice now. It’s a freakin’ lifesaver. My current job has coworkers still asking me from time to time why I’m the only one not friending them. You might think you should cave to pressure, but it’s very much worth standing your…

FTFY

The problem is, police unions like to take full advantage of their vocational protections, but often the members themselves vote against their own interests.

I can confirm everything in this post as accurate.

Way to turn into the skid there bro.

I couldn’t live without NPR in the morning. We even have a public alternative music station!

2016 was a shitshow for sure. Quick point of order though: Philando Castile was shot during a traffic stop by a uniformed Faclon Heights police officer Jeronimo Yanez. My understanding of lynching is it’s mob-mentality vigilantism. Lynching definitely still happens, but even if you’re using that word as commentary…

I can vouch for the expensiveness of owning a Saturn. When I first had my ion it could do no wrong. Now it’s a series of minor repair after minor repair. I wish I’d ditched it years ago.

Wait, that makes it cool....right?
