Lol

That’s what happens when no one goes into trades and everyone wants to be a manager or “work in IT or with computers.”

Two of my friends are excellent tradesmen and they make a fabulous living. And they always have work and no student loans. They’re living really great lives and are very content.

“Is becoming”…? Where you been bro.

So basically Mercy from Overwatch? I think most games have versions of this type of healer. Medic in TF2 etc. They basically have guns that can’t do much other than be used to shoot your teammates in the face to get their attention.

Between Israel militarily, Russia politically, and China economically, it’s a wonder we are still even asked to vote.

Your number had what now?? Wow. Maybe you mean five? I was reading a Times article that they changed the four digit codes in 1930, but maybe that wasn’t standardized across the country. I’ve learned more about phone history than I ever expected to in my life. 🤣

Yeah that makes sense. Though, hopefully more states (or the fed) follow California, Connecticut, Colorado, and Virginia’s lead in passing right to be deleted and stronger digital privacy laws.

Oh WOAH. You just made me understand wtf is going on with the payphone in the scene at the beginning of War Games! He was making the clicks by hanging it up repeatedly. You just unlocked a memory of me and my dad, he loved that movie. That as well as what was going on in that scene! I can’t believe that scene came back to me right now and connected to what you were saying.

Apparently my brain wanted to know how that worked while my conscious brain didn’t really think about it much other than “huh.” At the time. My dad did make me watch it like five times though.

Meat, grains, fruit, and veg. Just different ones and less variety.

One “bean” is native to Europe. The fava or horse bean to be specific.

Pretty shocking, eh?

Yes isn’t it obnoxious when leaders listen to their people despite their personal feelings?

All else aside, if our leaders were more like the crown prince, we wouldn’t be sending more bombs to the bombers.

“I don’t care personally, but my people do, so I’m doing what they ask.” Meanwhile, national polling suggests a majority of Americans want to stop arming Israel while they’re committing war crimes, but the overwhelming majority of our political leaders give full-throated support.

And America is, ostensibly, the democracy.

Robot realizes is robot by talk to robot.

You don’t have to look to other countries for this, prostitution is legal in many counties in NV.

A lot of “traditional” national foods are like that, especially if you consider pre-columbian food traditions. If you just limit it to chocolate, tomatoes, sweet and hot peppers, potatoes, and beans, none of which were used or available in Europe until after importation, you see that it gets murky pretty quickly. Funny how we associate potatoes with Ireland, tomatoes with Italy, and chocolate with Switzerland when they’re actually all indigenous American foods.

OMG. Why would they put a timer on it then?? That seems like it would take forever.

Hmm. Thanks for your response. It does it across across about 600 databases, and they have power of attorney to initiate the removals and follow up, etc.

I guess I just didn’t like that it was so easy to just Google my name and then have my address. It did help with that, but maybe you’re right that it’s kind of pointless in the bigger sense. I guess I’m just trying to keep someone IRL that gets pissed at me for whatever reason from immediately knowing where I live. I feel like most people aren’t going to work very hard at it.

You’re supposed to dial by putting a finger in each number hole and then dragging to the stop. So they dialed zero correctly, but only zero.

How do you do that with only five fingers?? I guess that makes sense that the was such little time to dial it. Like you put each finger in the holes and then spin the whole thing? How does it figure out which… wait, then how would you do repeated numbers? Or did numbers never repeat…? I’m confused.

Oh dang, sorry you deleted this. Those last two lines were very true. I’m going to quote them, but if you want me to delete it just LMK:

At this point, the only people who don’t know where we live are the ones who might drop off a casserole. We’ve gained nothing.

Like in the town town or the amusement thing.

Did this dude enslave small-statured orange people by chance?
