it got to a place where the only way I could play this role was if it’s something completely different from who I am. And I can distance myself from that character. I wanted to make sure he looked nothing like me, acted nothing like me, just a totally different person.

Wow, where have you been? When she began her political run, the world was pretty much introduced to her as “the gun-themed restaurant owner from Colorado.” One of the main selling points is the fun fact the staff are all strapped as they go about their food service duties.

He’s suggesting that the writer’s take is “well, half of Canada might be on fire, but the upside is NYers don’t have to move their cars!” (While the hed kinda implies that, the rest of the piece doesn’t.)

Basically, everything but Toyota and Honda. Got it.

Wow, what a total buzzkill you are. (You are also correct. Wisdom is recognizing that those two things very often go together in life.)

I guess I’ll be that guy and point out that the douchebag wasn’t trying to “hock” the parts, he was trying to “hawk” them.

According to the full article, there are no humans present in these cars, so I would call that driverless. When the companies say “a driver is ready”, it appears they mean that they will send a human to the site and try to make things work. From the full article:

This year I did my winter-to-summer tire switch in my driveway, using the lug wrench and scissor jack that came with the car. I timed it at a lightning-fast turtle-like 23 minutes flat. In your face, NASCAR crew!

You’re right on the first part. However, the “stand your ground” laws explicitly state that the requirement for a person to remove themselves (if possible) from a dangerous situation is gone. So people are free to kill someone on their front step even if they were fully able to just go back into their damn house.

Wash it? Oh, you poors. One wear and it goes in the bin, mate.

Well, that’s obviously stupid, but the shirts have a little more going for them than it appears at first glance. I thought it was just a screenprint special, but those flowers are individual pieces that are layered on, and there are beads and crystals and shit on there as well. So, I would definitely pay $20 for it.

The Constitution was divinely inspired and the rights within it are God given and so cannot ever be changed, ever, for any reason, no matter how good, logical, or rational those reasons might seem. It is to be taken literally and not subject to reinterpretation in a modern context. (Except for that “well-regulated”

Same here. It was perfect.

a manual transmission is a serious distraction from paying attention to the road

Her toddler children will be only attending “woke college” over her “dead body.”

“Chief, the DNA results are back, and...well...” “Spit it out, sergeant!” “Sir, the pilot was....[dramatic organ music] your FATHER!” “What? Oh my god!” “But don’t take it too hard. The pilot was also my father!” “WHAT?!?” “Yep, and you know Suzette in dispatch? Hers too. And also the guy that delivers the water. And

Shouldn’t these gentlemen have been accused of being paedos and groomers by now? These are lone men hanging out in a park filled with kids, for goodness sake! C’mon America, isn’t that how y’all roll?

I have been known to say, jokingly, “a friend is someone who will help you move. A best friend is someone who will help you move a body.” But for a mother to say “If you need to dispose of a body, I’ll show up with a shovel and garbage bags” seems seriously fucked up, even to me.

Is it simply the fact that I’m Canadian that makes me wonder how this performance could possibly be described as “mangling” the anthem? I watch a lot of sports, so I have heard a hell of a lot of actual manglings of your anthem (like, really bad ones), and it sure doesn’t feel like this was one of them. Now, I’m one

Laughing my Canadian ass off over the labeling of the Model 3 as the official car of “Ontario, Canada.” Do you have any idea how big and diverse Ontario is? Well, it takes up more than 350,000 square miles, with everything from fertile farmland to tundra. North to south it extends from about the 42nd to the 57th
