The (ALEC lobbyists who directed the) conservatives who sabotaged the ACA know exactly this: “it’s still not great...Insurance is as expensive as fuck.” 

Their only concern is returning value to shareholders.

I believe I know understand the word extra, as used in the modern parlance.

I rented a room from a dude overseas who turned out to be a contractor grade toolbag who was sent to private school, and saw his father for something like two or 3 days a year until he was an adult.

Their beer is limited to 3%. The answer is yes.

Funny the way the body works in ways that are (depending on perspective) “totally mysterious” or utterly within the parameters of how you would expect an organism operating under a given biological imperative might function.

If we could get this silhouette in road cars please. Pedestrian impact standards are meaningless as long as you can buy roo-bars for your giant shiny truck.

I think it starts and ends with “It ruins the paint”

Every other consideration is “I’ve got 96 months left to pay on this thing and the paint disnae matter since I’m bound to write it off with 35 payments remaining”

“she is asked to describe the Internet to a medieval farmer”
Hopefully the reply included, “I suppose I should do it in a way that won’t have me burned as a witch for my trouble”

It used to be nice when the average person could regard, somewhat amusedly at the fun/quirky/crazy stuff that rich people did.

Now it’s like, we’re a hospital stay away from being stripped of the entirety of our meager assets, and facing the end of our lives alone and buried under a mountain of debt and even possibly…

My wife and have mused several times about retiring to two tiny houses separated by a catio with a fancy kitchen at one end and garage/bike shop at the other.

Persecution is part of the job description of the title King Billy.

I often said that the thing I liked best about living in California was that I could wear shorts year round, but that was 20 years ago.

Back home in Oregon, I ride my bicycle to work year round, and that comes with the benefit of understanding that not covering one’s knees when the temperature is below 50 is a good way…
