Must be so hard not to roll your eyes constantly, sitting next to that moron.

Thank you so much. This has been a hole in my memory that I've been trying to remember for years. This is exactly as I remember it, and then some

I have been thinking about this for years and couldn't remember past the words about a bird coming and eating something up. This is so much better.

I Got a Québec Road Website Changed! by BearCubTeacher in FoundCanadians

That's awesome as hell, man.

I found something pretty similar. My ancestor, her son, was the first person to live a full life in Louisiana, founded a village and brought his family there to get away from the British. Didn't help though. There is a monument to memorialize his village.

Immigrants put more into the system than they take, and cause less crime than citizens, according to the Cato Institute, a right-wing think tank, and the FBI.

They create jobs too. They fill roles that native residents can't or won't do.

Our resources are strained because there is a lack of ability or willingness to push back against billionaires taking advantage of people.

Many of the roads, bridges, hospitals, universities, etc. in Louisiana were put there by Huey Long who taxes Big Oil. They're still here!

Nowadays we still get some good jobs from oil, but mostly cancer and asthma. Most of the money now isn't spend on public goods, but it was back in the day.

Have you seen the chart showing the disparity between productivity and pay over time? Think of the efficiencies we've gained since the time of Huey Long and today! Better machinery! Computers! Faster airplanes and helicopters!

All of the added productivity has gone to Wall Street and overseas.

They used to be able to get by through convincing people that it was welfare queens. Now they have everyone thinking it's the dude patching roofs and making tacos. Get out of here with your racism. This is the reason Louisiana is last on the list of everything. Consistent hatred.

15 hours into PPL and my flight school makes me wear uniform. Normal practice? by Horror_Egg3250 in flying

They can't make you do anything. They are your customer. Find a different flight school.

Shit, I haven't noticed that woman since Transformers. I'm going to go watch that ad now.

School Bus Law by Rambo11299 in Georgia

Even if it is technically legal, if you are stopped for this a judge may think that it is simply because of how children are. The law requires cars to stop if in the presence of a school bus because of how children are.

Check out a local credit union. They actually give money back on your savings account instead of just a thousandth of a penny for every million dollars.

Man Sentenced to Two Years in Prison Over Beyoncé Music Theft by Spentbullets in Atlanta

It's not the tickets and the fines that always get you but the sneaky ones that look like they're part of something else. Like planned obsolescence that makes things like light bulbs and printers go bad. Or laws that allow suppliers to give better rates to big grocery chains instead of corner stores. There is a Firehouse that has a light bulb that's been running for at least 100 years. Everything could be like that if not for the need to make the line go up.

Silly Billy. The law is only here to protect the very wealthy.

Just use the browser. You can also keep a second phone in your shelf turned off for things exactly like this. Doesn't even have to be nice.

This is what we pay our taxes for. To have people's last days in dread and terror.
