It really comes down to: if it’s about our protection AND about how all us addicts are ‘helpless victims’ to these substances...

...why is the methodology so backwards to addressing that?

And sorry, but without “Think,” the original Blues Brothers film would not have been half as phenomenal, period.

It really is the same age-old reasons you’d sadly cynically conclude.

Excuse me, but I have to call out your Reader’s Digest oversimplified and frankly insultingly incomplete reporting on this.

Opioid deaths are up? Because fentanyl is being mixed with black market or illegal substances?

Have you considered WHY that is happening? Why those illegal and black market sales are going up and…

So I know just because I’m a guy asking this I will be vilified immediately, but...

...what exactly is the “problem” being spoken about here?

Yeah, he’s older than her. By a few decades. Okay. But...that’s it.

She’s not a 13-year-old child bride sold into domestic slavery by her family in West Virginia. She’s not a…

Maybe if Disney had been around earlier we’d just all be calling them people-movers.

Or, to borrow from an old George Carlin routine: “This-here’s the 1979 Piece a’ SHIT.” “Here’s a lil’ Turd Coupe.”

“What the hell is that shit?”
“That’s my trade-in!”
“Well hell, get that outta here! They’ll think we SELL those!”

The only problem I have with the differentiation between whites and all other groups in these discussions is that it always comes down to the history and present landscape that that history has brought us to. Basically it boils down to: “White guys have historically been the worst people exploiting and washing over…

Hopefully the old fad of “wilding” has passed into history (one of the weirder influences for “Fight Club”—Chuck essentially based the book on Portland—and a trend for a gang of guys basically running up to a random person on the street and ‘playfully’ beating the living snot out of them and running away).

In fact if…

We went some years ago, so we can’t recommend Frances Gabe’s self-cleaning house (we heard she’s now living in senior care).

But the Rose Test Garden is great. The basketball court built into Mt. Hood is awesome.

The comic/gaming shop where I worked as a teenager in high school, Magic just started up getting real fandom. And people would come in, buy an entire box of packs, open every one of them right there on the counter, and only leave with maybe a handful they didn’t already have, leaving the rest of the piled waste…

That second issue had a horror element to it almost right out of Twilight Zone or Night Gallery, and totally creeped me out. Brilliant take on the Hulk.

That’s a fair point, but what I’m primarily stating still holds: if the locals go there, whatever the food prep issues are are probably already accounted for by their diet better than yours. It’s true that a place that doesn’t do much business may be selling old/stale/sitting out food, but then if they’re the kind of…

Everything I’ve seen says this kid was playing in his grandmother’s yard. No gun, no bike, and when the cops arrived nothing at all in his behavior that I would think related to a “12 year old suspect all in blue with a gun riding a bike.”

FINALLY!!

A good friend shouldn’t push you to do anything you state honestly you don’t feel good doing. You don’t have to justify anything.

And if you’re being encouraged to ‘suck it up Buttercup’ and ride the ride, you should be able to more easily work up the courage to tell the truth.

“What good is being the Man of Steel if you don’t know what to do with all that metal? UP TOP!” (Badman v Superman on YouTube. Check it out.)

I just keep a ravenous honey badger on a thin length of twine and trained to kill.

Parody or satirization of something is usually to the point of trying to either a.) point out the obliviousness of the original material on some point (i.e. cultural appropriation, racism, sexism, etc. like parodies of “Blurred Lines” that pointed out how creepy and predatory the original song is) b.) use the catchy…

If you listen very, very closely...you can hear Alfred Nobel spinning fast enough in his grave to achieve cold fusion levels of movement. Or actually sitting somewhere in the afterlife thinking “Maybe dynamite wasn’t so evil of me after all...”

It seems pretty obvious what the leadership of the event did:
