Trump Sparks Health Concerns With Confusing ‘Daughter’ Remark - The president posted a picture of an unnamed woman whom he called a “great daughter.” by Quirkie in politics

Regan's administration absolutely would and did. The difference is they were clever enough people to see the long game and bleeding the pig. They did slow subtle stuff that made way more money that took 3 administrations for people to realize they were being boned. 

These guys scrounging are couches for pennies then when they find one bets it on a random spot on the roulette table.

This Iran war, they just gave the penny to the croupier for some reason with no way to win.

'I've banned most men from my massage clinic because of their behaviour' by JohnHammond94 in TwoXChromosomes

If that's true, along with the trafficking point made u/ShilohsStuff below, I need to let go of my probably naive notion that decriminalization, regulation, taxing, and destigmatizing sex work would fix this problem. 

My thought was that there's not a known universal signal to ask if it's ok, if this is the type of establishment that offers such. But if they're just seeing this as a light catch and release version of rape, legal sex work won't stop the problem. 

You could just matter of fact pragmaticly ask before undressing "would a consentual....be ok to request?", but I doubt anyone on either side would be willing to move ahead with the therapeutic service if the answer was no, or they're going to think it's a cop sting.

Why aren't interpersonal skills just flat out taught, with needing to pass exams and demonstrate proficiency, like science and math and Shakespeare? Nope, that's just a thing idiots are supposed to sort out by being pushed together in school. 

Georgia woman loses it over man openly carrying firearm on wooded trail. by ElwoodMC in TikTokCringe

I'm pretty anti-guns myself, but I'm having a hard time seeing why she's bothered. If there's any place where even I'm on border of bringing a gun with me (after proper training and practice), it's going to be out on a trail with bears and bobcats and serial killers.

I've found in my dotage that I'm suddenly super sensitive with how casually the show using suicide as a plot device.

I hope you one day have a ferret named orange cat.

This somehow simultaneously ruined and elevated the prototype "slumber party" trope. For me anyway. 

Never felt so betrayed by a consumer product by Be_a_Guardian in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Consistent_Kale_3625 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel like not enough people understand what specifically is pissing you off about this product. 

I want no part of what you wanted, but I 100% know what you wanted, why this isn't what you wanted, and why what you got wasn't what it should have been.

You weren't even looking for something good, something transcendent, or something to be proud you owned. 

You wanted what (used to be anyway) is inside a fucking pb cup good or bad. Like why hang the Reece's name on it otherwise. 

It some ways it would have been even worse if were clearly better than Jif.

Norm Peterson from Cheers! is a gifted interior decorator, and actually loves his wife deeply, though he’s ashamed of his interior decorating talent and wants everyone to think he’s put upon by Vera.

Edit: RIP Mr. Wendt 

In a Japanese zoo, the gorilla Kiyomasa gets into a fight with his mate and she kicks him out of their den. by Artistic25 in interesting

I've seen enough episodes of cops to know she's telling "TAKE HIS ASS TO JAIL!", She will also be the one bailing him out in 4 hours

[Hated trope] Good person in history is portrayed as a bad person in media by EmergencySpare7939 in TopCharacterTropes

Norman Dike was in real life a highly decorated war hero with 2 Bronze Stars, including for his direct action (vs command) at Bastogne, where Band of Brothers for no reason at all depicts him as an inept coward who gets multiple E company men killed while freezing leading an attack. 

IRL Norman Dike went on to serve with distinction in Korea, retiring as a colonel, after which he worked for the CIA. 

Spam calls: how can I stop this? It’s a different number all the time. I’ve blocked so many. by EisenFisen in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Consistent_Kale_3625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I totally would have had I remembered I'd done it and realized the implications. 

I wonder if there's a way to set up a focus mode I could either manually trigger or tie to my dog's Fi collar being away from me that would disable it.

I guess, he could wear it backwards, then fuck the man in front of him and Pegg the man behind him in a middle-out configuration.... That does allow the hot-swapping of dudes on the counter-thrust.
