Yep, undoubtedly sick and wrong. Claiming that the first consent is blanket consent for any act is almost like “You said we could have sex, I figured you wouldn’t mind me taking your kidney. It’s just a question of degree of access, right?” Yes, I’m being stupid, but still...

When did it become worthwhile to basically make an entire article about what amounts to a conversation other people had?

Please test and report.

Sorry, one side most definitely was wrong. There’s not thing wrong with that license plate. Zero, nada. This is a term that has more than one context, and this one was clearly just fine. The conversation, at its absolute worst, should have been:

Not sure it was awkward, but it was a little sad... Got a number of messages from law firms letting some poor guy know that he couldn’t sue for his defective replacement hip because of statutes of limitation. I checked it out and verified that it was from legit law firms. I called them and let them know. Sad... poor…

I would form a brute squad if only I knew upon whom to sic it.

Perhaps because of the... captiva audience.

Mine was “Meh Silver”. It died broadsiding a Toyota Tercel. Life hack: if you’re passengering in a Toyota Tercel and the driver says (s)he is going to “gun it” to turn through an intersection before an oncoming car gets there, bail immediately. Even in traffic, your chances of survival just increased significantly.

Let’s see... my wife: 1, me: 1. That somehow gives 412,645. Math is hard.

First thing that comes to mind for the “more millennial approach”:

It’s how he rolls.

I know, right? The guys with the stupid hats pull up the asphalt and it’s “road repairs”. I do that and it’s “vandalism”.

Yup, thinking exactly this. I have a Galaxy Note 4, and one of its most common use cases— hand to the 2.5-year old to keep him occupied— virtually always ends with him hitting sections of screen or buttons that have undesired effects. He starts out learning letters and numbers, ends up buying a 25-pack of used rubber…

Yes. Usually the person paying is required to quest for something of infinite value, like Love, the Power of Creation, or the Lesser Chuck Norris Roundhouse of Bearded Power, and use that as payment. Note, however, that with the latter, they owe you change. A lot of change.

I did that. I was 14 and was a restaurant dishwasher.

Wouldn’t a car that “was never available for sale to to the general public” kind of suck for undercover use?

I am not a diplomat or anything like it, but it seems like the only way out is to somehow have the people turn against the leadership. That’s not easy, I know. I have some small idea of how well-controlled media and minds are in that country. But it seems like his “brutally murder even the slightly potential…

You are wise. And right. And wise.

Something something Lucas electronics.

It’s so dusty in this thread.
