Opinions and assholes have something in common.

Should’ve let that first guy with the arm tats finish putting him to sleep.

And, while this wasn’t brought up in the original post, I am tired - damn tired - of the “oh, the internet is mad, again.” as if that’s the problem or as if that’s even the truth of the matter.

lol

It can be both.

I have long wondered if she’s internalizing some unresolved issues...or she’s just an asshole. 

Erykah has been a pick-me, patchouli scented, dictator entertaining fraud for a long ass time. I celebrate her green tea scented dragging.

I wonder why, instead of stupidly broad tariffs, we don’t implement a “reciprocal trade law” that would put in place the exact same restrictions on Chinese companies in the U.S. that China puts on U.S. companies there. So, Chinese companies wouldn’t be able to buy any company here outright, but only a minority stake…

I still remember the Top Gear Episode where they drive Chinese knockoff cars and mention how the Chinese government sides with companies that steal Foreign car designs.

Chinese industry / government will steal anything that’s not nailed down. Part of the problem obviously is that Chinese culture doesn’t seem to respect the concept of intellectual property. And the other is that they seem so driven that stealing to get ahead has become perfectly normal to them.

It’s right up there with not stopping at flashing red lights when making left turns or making LEFTs on solid red when making a Michigan Left.

Welcome to Michigan! They’re convenience stores.
I have no idea why we call them party stores (well... I can hazard a guess) but yeah... we do.
Michigan is weird.

The party store is uniquely Michigander.  My folks live in Ann Arbor, which is a relatively well-heeled area, but there’s a stalwart party store in their neighborhood.  Its main focus, as you might guess, is liquor.  But they sell basic foodstuffs, such as cans of ravioli, Wonder Bread, milk, and any other fare you’d…

It’s a broadly defined thing here in Michigan. Some are basically shacks that sell booze, tobacco, and lottery tickets. Others will also stock household goods and even produce. There’s a place not far from me that used to be called “Big Ten Party Store” (it has some fancy-ass name now) that sells everything from Bud…

“Party store” is a very Detroit term. It’s like a mom-and-pop unbranded 7/11—basically a small convenience store, what in NYC would be a bodega. But since in Michigan you can sell beer, wine and liquor at a place like that, it makes sense—that’s where you go to buy stuff when you’re having a party.

Is it used anywhere…

It definitely sounds more festive than the reality. 

In 2019, you can buy, new:

I actually think it does somewhat make sense. Maybe Corvette will stay regular V8, but Cadillac will go all out with a KERS like hybrid system to pair with the new twin turbo V8.

Convertible for this thing. Next.
