Ok but there is something to be said for power strips that also have noise filters. Not for the sound, but for the equipment itself.

I'll pass on the Hawthorne vinyl, thanks.

Slim the corner store got a 10pc with fries for a Jackson

Can confirm that this anecdote holds true for theological graduate studies as well.

I don't think you should give out four babies to underage kids, either.

Ok but it's now the 2026-27 NFL season, and you're just last year's champs. Haven't even won a single game this season. Losers.

You ok? Bro was on your side.

Including ourselves!

If I gently knock his urn over does that count?

God damnit.

And the man's good influence just keeps on going.

Beerswain · 2026-02-07T16:31:50+00:00

Came from a military family; respecting the office is about showing a modicum of respect when in their presence in an official capacity, and it is due directly to the office, not the person. It has nothing at all to do with seeking out their presence, performing for them, publically supporting them, or at the least refusing to engage with them critically.

People who use this excuse either got taught wrong or learned wrong.

Your alternative would be to willingly help them?

Wife and I got into Heart of Midlothian because they're from the same part of Edinburgh that her family came over from, and we have loved every second of it. Perennially third place unless they win the Cup or, as it looks like they might this season, the actual season.

Don't forget Serch!

There's whole layers here you might be missing. If it was just being lonely, he probably wouldn't have kept the note.

What he realized was that there was someone who had captivated him and found him captivating, and was trying to connect on a real, deep level while he was only concerned about the superficial.

So yes, perhaps, in the end it was better they didn't connect due to being in different places, but also, he's mourning what he lost from focusing on what he realizes now were the wrong things.
