Drugs are pretty; gunshots et al aren’t.

Jasmine rice on the side with something stir-fried as the only course - maybe two somethings stir-fried if I get especially ambitious.

I like the racist “White Folx” added to the title - looks to me like Mom was reminding EVERYONE that there are Blacks outside the ghetto.

No need to sink an aircraft carrier - just destroy their catapults. Send a cruise missile or ten carrying a large set of drones, each drone armed with, say, a 2 kg cone-shaped charge and a vision system that knows about aircraft carriers. The drones - by the hundreds, say - kamikaze into the area of the catapults,…

“More than likely, these are just actors being forced to play video games...”

I wonder if this Jerry Smith knows the Jerry Smith formerly of The Motorcycle Times (founder and editor). Both about the same age, probably.

“I really do need to just suck it up, get past looks and eat the chicken feet, the tongue, the pig’s head and all that other not very pretty stuff...”

The “Ascii” part is mundane and not unexpected. The “Ebcidic” part, however, is a wonder to read and instantly awakened anciently-formed synapses that are better left undisturbed.

Asking for immunity in exchange for testifying under oath is a time-tested and not-that-controversial process. As that infamous law professor spent 45 minutes in the YouTube video explaining, you simply don’t talk to “The Law”, however that is defined for the particular case, because you can get nailed for something…

Game Plan Step #1: Lose the 50 lbs you’ve gained since the last time you tried to do a pull-up.

“It’s bandaid at best but better than nothing...”

“Why would you choose 1 single stock...”

If everything is untaxed then $1,000,000 is available to earn interest off of. By investing in, say, Verizon one could make about $50,000/year pre-tax assuming Verizon’s stock price doesn’t tank (VZ is one of those fairly-high-dividend stocks that has never LOWERED dividends - about 5% right now).

“...i’m not going to need 5k/month when i’m shitting my pants in a retirement home anyways...”

“...Most job applications have ‘previous salary’ as a required field...”
