We get a real tree for our upstairs living room. But I want a Christmas tree in the downstairs den as well, so we pull out the fake tree from storage. This is actually the 10th year I’ve used my fake downstairs tree, so I feel reasonably environmentally responsible about it.

Toyota easily leaps over Ford in latest rankings, only the Lincoln division slows them down.

So much for being grounded to the ground

I voted for raising the gas tax in California last year and so did the majority of CA voters.

“Twitter is an excellent gauge of public interest”

“What irks me is the absolute and total disrespect for a police officer who, instead of being home with family and enjoying a meal and a football game, is patrolling his little town...”

i believe wilbur ordered the coffee but there isn’t enough room on the label for “some pig” so the computer shortened it.  calm down, everyone.

This shitty blogger is triggered by “ok”

People getting offended at the use of OK just sounds like made up fake outrage to me. I wouldn’t worry too much about it if I were you, but then again, I too am an introvert.

Finally, someone who gets it.  People who have too high of standards for interaction are not worth interacting with.

sometimes really subtle things like how someone responds to “ok” tells you a lot about them as a person. so when someone interprets that THEY think “ok” is dismissive, it tells me they are the sort of person i dont want to deal with. people spend so much time talking and socializing and being afraid that someone’s…

Those “certain people” are fucking idiots and should learn to stop whining. That includes you, you get the fuck out of here as well.

and people wonder why we introverts hate everyone. you all keep inventing these stupid rules and making interacting with anyone a complete chore. if somebody thinks im rude or dismissive by typing “ok” to their text and gets offended, they deserve it and they did it to themselves. as far as im concerned they are doing…

It goes the other way in professional environments. If you use too many exclamation marks, and are too wordy, you’ll be immediately identified as a simpering, unconfident dicksneeze. I can’t stand getting emails with the subject being: ‘Hey! Can we get together to discuss next steps? Thank you!!! :D’

It’s a short easy way to say, I read and acknowledge your text. What nut thinks would see OK or K and think “how rude”?

Screw this.  If k or ok does the job that is what I am using.  If you can’t handle it.....too bad.

God I thought this shit was dead. We spread our legs because it’s physically uncomfortable not to. On top of that, in my case, I have chronic pain in my knees and legs (and I’m not that old so you wouldn’t assume that just by looking at me), so it hurts to keep my legs in the same position for very long and they’re…

I like Brad Pitt and I like tanks but I didn’t like this movie

So we have two, maybe three, new candidates entering the race. All three are corporate shills.
