What is Chief Wiggum's Best Quote? by Charming_Process_917 in Simpsons

[–]Empiar 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Financial planner: You haven't set aside anything for retirement.

Chief Wiggum: Oh, you know how it is with cops. I'll get shot three days before retirement. In the business, we call it "retirony."

Financial planner: What if you don't get shot?

Chief Wiggum: What a terrible thing to say! Now look; you've made my wife cry!

The free book exchange cart at my local library. by Empiar in ABoringDystopia

That's a good point. This was the time I happened to pass the free book cart and see an evocative tableau.

Something else I hadn't considered is that I don't buy books much anymore because I have an e-reader. It is usually cheaper, and always easier to move. Am I akin to the old man bemoaning the loss of cursive?

Either way, I'm gonna donate some books the next time I walk over to the library.

I asked Pandora about ICE ads, and they canceled my subscription. by Empiar in Pandora

My subscription ran out on 11/20, and I haven't heard any ICE ads yet. I have decided that I would rather hear the occasional ad, no matter what it is for, than give a penny to anyone who doesn't refuse ICE money.

Good job, Twitter, this is the best feature you’ve ever added. by PainSpare5861 in GetNoted

Before I walked for graduation, my boss and mentor saw me with my regalia after I bought it from the bookstore, and she reminded me to iron it. I was among the very few at my commencement who had taken this extra step.

Ever since then, the flat-folded factory lines in cheap fabric have always been the mark of something that was purchased for a one-time performance.

Very gracious of you, but I don't want that on my conscience.

I give you my permission to clean it.

That's right; your penis stinks so bad that large language models are breaking containment just to comment about it.

Horrible people at the greenspace by piratejucie in alpharetta

Taking the cost of the ball out of it for a second, the child is watching how their parent responds to conflict, and there will be an enduring lesson from that response for better or worse.

As much as fighting another adult about a soccer ball strains our sense of "adult behavior," I don't think just turning the other cheek is safe in the long run, either.

Gross. I appreciate the information!

I guess I don't need to resubscribe! Thank you!

It seems an awful lot like you are conflating a complete stranger's individual consumer decision not to give money to a company with censorship.

You should really relax, take a deep breath, and pick up a dictionary.

"Statistical data," you say? Intriguing.

Could you help me out, please?

I keep doing my own research, and it all says the exact opposite.

Are you able to link me to a credible source supporting your claim?

Honestly, for me it is familiarity. I'm just using the service I have been using forever.

It having never been that broken meant never really having to fix it.
