Twenty Christmases is absolutely not out of the question for an artificial tree. My parents bought one in 1980-something. I grew up opening presents under that tree. When my wife and I bought our first house in 2005, they gave that tree to us. We used it for ten more years before deciding really needed a smaller one.…

Wanna know what that stuff is? It’s laundry detergent that has no starch, fats, or bleach. Guaranteed. Other than that, it’s just soap. Nothing at all wrong with using it, and piece of mind is definitely worth $$$, but any other detergent that meets those qualifications will work just as well and cost less.

Also which King Kong?

For a hot second there I thought that was Matt Lauer and Al Roker in the lead image and was like WTF?

It’s been shown by several well-respected actors, who definitely did lots of scientific research, that window-shade cords cause autism.

So as a former TJ owner, the thing that always kept me from taking the top off was not any difficulty in removing it, which was pretty quick, faster than this, even, as I recall (it’s been a while since I had a Jeep). The problem was how hard it was to put back ON. Not something you want to have to do at moment’s…

designed with the race track in mind, but are technically still DOT approved.

The F1 clearly made compromises. There were no windows in the doors.

Now you’ve done it, Stef. You’ve pissed off exactly half the hardcore pedantic monster truck crowd.

He started it, Mom.

That’s exactly why I brought it up. When this story first came to light a week or so ago, it the drug use was reported by other (non-right-wing) news outlets. This article and Time both glossed over that fact. I just think it’s important to have the whole story. I’m not a (completely) heartless bastard, though. I do…

Don’t get your panties in a twist, Nancy. I was responding to one oversimplified soundbite with another. That’s what we do here at The Internet. Keeps things uncivilized.

Tough love, bro.

If you want to take it that way, fine. But don’t go around thinking this guy was just downtrodden just due to “bad luck”. Good on him for seemingly trying to turn things around for himself, but he dug his own hole.

I volunteer with an organization that helps vets with PTSD, and my father-in-law is retired Air Force who suffers from that very affliction. Many of them have found ways of dealing with it without sticking a needle in their arm. That was a personal decision.

The sad state he’s in is a result of him being a drug addict for a number of years, not necessarily his country neglecting him. “Bad decisions and bad situations”. Give credit where credit is due.

Well, he was also a drug addict, which both this story and the Time story failed to mention. That’s what those “bad decisions and bad situations” were. I mean, he did a good deed and should be rewarded for it, and good on him for getting himself right, but “America” didn’t put a needle full of heroin in his arm. He…

THIS IS WHY WE NEED A WALL PEOPLE

I think this needs to happen again. But where, and when?
