Telling children who to hug is big issue for me. A couple I love dearly are always telling their kids to hug Auntie/Uncle So&So goodbye, and when it comes to me I always tell them they don’t have to.

I was hoping the judge would’ve denied bail and make him sit behind bars until his trial. I would’ve given it about 10 minutes before someone caved his head in. 

Their concern was far less the redeeming power of Jesus Christ and more the risk of bad publicity to their financial empire.

I wonder how much of point #1 is a safety thing...

I don’t listen to her, either, but it doesn’t bother me for other people to like her music. It’s funny when people feel the need to make sure everyone knows they don’t like something. It’s like, ok, who cares? It’s even more funny when it’s not enough for someone to say that they don’t like something - they need to…

I don’t think any of us can really say if Kate is a good person. Frankly, the reality of her position makes it almost impossible that she’s a particularly good person.

I suppose my usual solution, use six times as much garlic as I actually need and finish off the entire head as soon as I buy it, isn’t quite as cost-effective or convenient as this.

Thank you, Canada.

Gawdammit, I thought our border was closed to non-essential travel to or from the USA. An asshole politician’s self-own doesn’t constitute an essential enough reason to open the door for her, to my mind.

The general turning on Chris Pratt is because he’s proven a fucking religious nutcase. 

So I’m honestly of the opinion that it was designed that way. Especially for that scene, being that they sort of know the audience is goi no to want to hate him for stealing Sams role. 

“There, Tesla employees instructed Slattery to contact his bank to reverse the charge — a plan Slattery found unacceptable as the bank informed him it could take up to 10 days to return the money to his account.”

Definitely be careful what you wish for. And if you think you have no pull with the local Ford dealer, imagine how little of a shit Ford themselves cares about you.

I feel for her and them because I have enough imagination to understand even if only a little what a dehumanizing mess they went thru. It would be a decade for her before the first effective drug treatment would be discovered, another thirty or forty years before it was really beaten.

Getting rid of cicadas?!

I’m looking forward to the day when I can log on to Amazon, order a new car, have Honey tell me if it’s the best price, and because I’m a Prime member, have it show up at my house in two days. That’s the day I’ll take advantage of another Amazon feature. I’ll subscribe to new cars and have one delivered every few…

That point is irrelevant to new car makers however. They should be allowed to open their own stores given they aren't competing with any existing third party dealers.

Franchise laws exist because automakers once did exactly what the dealers complain might happen - the maker lets a dealer attract people to a brand and then the maker opens a store across the street at discount prices.

Jesus man, stop talking.  The world has moved on, even if you haven’t. 

Let me guess, you’re a dealer? We just want to buy cars from the manufacturers where they’d compete on price against each other in the segment. RAV4 or CR-V would be like Samsung and Apple coming out with their new CUV with price competitiveness.
