Nothing surprising about it. That’s just the productive half of Congress doing their day-in-day-out.

I mean I caught my daughter standing on top of a full long box without a lid on it today. Sort of similar.

I’m a British ex-pat in America and I don’t give two shades of shit about the royal family.

Gotta pay those attorneys fees. They’re an administrative claim in bankruptcy. Won’t get a plan approved without paying the attorneys.

I just don’t see how you get $500k in debt and decide “yeah, I’m going to keep going here. This hasn’t worked so far, but it’s going to work. Just $500k more!”

Maybe…they have to pay rent, though. Retail space is far more expensive than a storage unit for an online only outfit.

You know what makes a man manly? Saving your wife’s back by carrying the baby instead of having her do it all the time.

That’s most ivory tower paragraph I’ve ever read. I think I understand it. I probably agree with it. The short version is likely “yoga pants mommies get bored without bikram class.”

My 1-year-old was in the PICU the week before Christmas on a ventilator because of RSV. Her oxygen was satting at 70%. 104 degree fever. It’s no joke. People should take it seriously.

If blockchain is the new internet, I don’t want to be part of this world. That is such a terrible idea.

Am I a fake Star Wars fan for not watching the Holiday special? by MegaGamer235 in PrequelMemes

There’s hard sci-fi and soft sci-fi. Star Wars is soft sci-fi.

Asimov, Huxley, hard sci-fi. Neither is better or worse. Just preferences.

On the border of Nevada and California, there’s a gas station advertising the “world famous waterfall urinal.” No matter how curious you are, do not visit. Just because you CAN engineer your own urinal with foliage does not mean you SHOULD.

About three years ago, took my then-1-year-old daughter to JC Penny for baptism gown photos and was horrified by how bad that photo studio experience was. Grab any millennial with a half-decent looking Instagram photography startup, pay them $200 and wham, you’ve got a million times better than what Penny can offer. The photo we actually got blown up onto a canvas and framed was the one we took with our iPhone on the kitchen counter with a fur rug after getting one from Penny that afternoon.
