I guess it’s a good thing we like to have our conflicts in the desert ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

The biggest weakness I know of with Laser weapons is who shoots them. I believe most are like this guy

And decent weather?

Exactly what Iwas thinking. Artilery and naval guns are often used against targets well outside of visual range. Not to mention accuracy issues at extreamly long distances, a microscopic movement at the lasers source equates to an asolutely huge movement even 20KM away.

The party of small government, y’all! States rights!

They gave them a touching “sendoff” in Cars 3 too. 

>posited popularity as the de facto “normal,” which, in retrospect, seeped into my impressionable brain more than I ever thought.

Actually (pushes glasses up) that’s geekdom - becoming really obsessed with a subject, usually a pop culture related one. Nerdom is more academic.

And then the weird part is that a lot of people say that about girls too. So its almost like babies in general will cause you to have “your hands full.”

Two of my sons have peed on their face. Not with the whole stream but it goes up up up and shifts and hits the face. Or at other times the wall, or the floor. The gargling is pretty wild but I suppose it’s possible? My kids don’t gargle bath water so I guess I don’t have garglers.

Not to mention babies in general are hard work. Of course you had your hands full - you were keeping a tiny, helpless human alive.

I have two boys and a girl. Both boys peed in their own faces while diapers were being changed on several occasions. I know of quite a few other parents that experienced the same thing as well as epic stories from my own parents about the same thing happening with both myself and my brother.  Not bullshit at all and…

I have one of each.  They both are learning how to cook and how to use power tools.  They are both fucking slobs and have to be yelled at to pick their shit up.  Neither of them are athletic; I have a computer nerd and an anime artistic type. I roll my eyes at the whole thing.  

As a mom of boys who has 100% used the hashtag...I just mostly see it as harmless because sometimes (sometimes) the “stereotypical” aspects of it are true—my boys are sensitive and wonderful and one of them loves babydolls and tucking them into bed at night and pushing them around in a little stroller. BUT he also is…

If you called his brother Fredo, he’d probably laugh it off.

“half Black and half Sicilian” and 100% redundant .......... (movie reference jokes w/people I don’t know are risky, I know this)

It is a segue into the topic though - there are dozens of other slurs that are used for those with Italian heritage, by those with Italian heritage, etc.

Trump Jr sounds awfully confident given that Ivanka is his family’s Sonny; beyond that it is just Fredos all the way down

I call BS on the operating costs of the Alfa. There is no way that thing isn’t spending half the year in the shop. It’s fuel costs are likely half of whats being used.
