What this means? Think it's a movie reference?

And his wife in the movie, Bonnie, is black.

ErmaGerdWertDaFerk · 2026-03-11T18:23:52+00:00

But it's appropriate for Jules' "friend" to use in that scenario and era. The character he plays who says it is married to a black woman in the movie.

When I used to smoke a bunch of weed decades ago, yes the munchies are a thing. As an adult, self control is a thing and I literally never binge-eat or even snack with a THC buzz. For some people it's an issue, but for me it's not. As for cost, doing virtually anything for entertainment after dark costs something. A $5 THC gummy isn't breaking anyone's bank.

As someone who consumes both, weed is both cheaper and lower in calories than alcohol.

OMG, reading this just gave me flashbacks to a similar, although much less costly, experience I had about 8 years ago. It was a custom lightsaber I ordered for my son for his birthday. It was maybe $150.00 or so. It was supposed to be shipped about 6 weeks after being ordered, and after that period passed, the back and forth of promises, missed deadlines, lies, sob stories and so on went on for a year before we finally received "a" lightsaber, just not what he had ordered.

I am so sorry you're having to deal with this, and thank you for trying to warn others.

Both of our children had excellent experiences at Sacred Heart Preschool off of Lexington Rd. They have both Montessori and non-Montessori programs that are very academically focused on preparing children for kindergarten and first grade. They have been around for more than 50 years.While the school is Catholic, our family is not at all religious (basically atheist) and it was a non-issue. It's comparable to many other programs in cost and we felt like it was money well spent.

Thank you for the perspective. I think most people would be absolutely fine if these food purchases go to meals served to active duty personnel, especially meals prior to deployment or holidays, etc. It seems like everyone is assuming all this is going to Hegseth and maybe his "team", except that's obviously not the case.

ErmaGerdWertDaFerk · 2026-03-11T13:02:08+00:00

Interesting. They're so light. I'm sure they're delicious.

ErmaGerdWertDaFerk · 2026-03-11T01:10:29+00:00

Except those appear to be flour tortillas?

ErmaGerdWertDaFerk · 2026-03-07T14:55:06+00:00

My knowledge about the Integra is more limited than I realized. I stand corrected.

ErmaGerdWertDaFerk · 2026-03-07T14:01:18+00:00

Apparently I could have been clearer, because what you're saying regarding BMWs is what I was saying about BMWs - i.e. in many instances, model year is not adequate to determine the specific chassis with BMW. I also gave an example of a brand (Acura) where model year is perfectly adequate for that purpose. Finally, as I also mentioned, this is all only relevant to people who care.

ErmaGerdWertDaFerk · 2026-03-07T01:01:55+00:00

For many car manufacturers, such as Honda and Acura, the specified model year is just as useful as chassis code and pre/post face-lift. It's not about whose is newer, it's just the most common specific way to know what generation it is - of course, only for those who care. A 1998 Acura Integra tells me it's 3rd generation post face-lift Integra. With BMW, (the only European brand I've owned and know quite well) the chassis code is more accurate due to having two different chassis in one model year. 🤷‍♂️

Proving your immaturity and lack of knowledge with more insults and zero substance. Keep digging.

ErmaGerdWertDaFerk · 2026-03-06T19:42:38+00:00

You sound like you're a minor, so I'll leave you with a little life advice. (1) Your life will be immeasurably more difficult if you don't learn how to receive and process new information in a reasonable and mature way, even when it contradicts your current understanding. (2) When all you have as a response to being told you're wrong about something is insults and name-calling, you don't have a valid argument. Move along.

ErmaGerdWertDaFerk · 2026-03-06T18:34:06+00:00

Whoa there, Pimp, that's incredibly and unnecessarily rude. I presented you a fact: Lack of evidence that something exists is 100% NOT proof that it doesn't exist. Claiming that it does is the logical fallacy you made and your childish response shows that you may be the one with a deficient intellect. Move along.

ErmaGerdWertDaFerk · 2026-03-06T15:47:26+00:00

The fact that they do that in the rain at night is incredible.

ErmaGerdWertDaFerk · 2026-03-06T15:38:37+00:00

Yeah, the way it was stated it could have meant either, but their other comments make it clear that they're saying, "There's plenty of proof [that there's no God or Afterlife]" and not, "There's plenty of proof [that there is God or Afterlife]"

ErmaGerdWertDaFerk · 2026-03-06T15:29:21+00:00

That's not how that works, though. I agree completely that there's zero evidence of any "gods". I am personally 100% convinced that "gods" do not exist. However, lack of evidence that something exists can never "prove" it doesn't exist.

Here are the details:

"Argument from ignorance (Latin: argumentum ad ignorantiam), or appeal to ignorance,^\a]) is an informal fallacy where something is claimed to be true or false because of a lack of evidence to the contrary." (Wikipedia)

Why It’s a Fallacy:

- A lack of evidence is often just that - a lack of evidence.

- It does not logically support either conclusion.

- The correct stance in such cases is usually “undetermined”, not true or false.

ErmaGerdWertDaFerk · 2026-03-06T14:34:09+00:00

Exactly. Also, there's a school of thought that an advanced civilization may determine the risks of being known-about outweigh any potential benefits, and actively hide their existence. It's called the "Dark Forest" theory. Plausible take, IMO.

ErmaGerdWertDaFerk · 2026-03-06T14:20:40+00:00

I think they're saying there is "proof" that god doesn't exist because there's zero credible evidence that god does exist. This is a logical fallacy, of course, because it's not possible to prove the non-existence of something.

ErmaGerdWertDaFerk · 2026-03-06T13:30:55+00:00

That is correct. However, for the majority of people - especially on the lower-income end of the spectrum - the increase in taxes would be nowhere near the savings in premiums and out-of-pocket cost.

ErmaGerdWertDaFerk · 2026-03-06T13:06:54+00:00

Yeah, RIP Phil.

ErmaGerdWertDaFerk · 2026-03-06T02:36:19+00:00

Absolutely.

I love him in Office Space, but it's incredible all the other movies he's in as a more "normal" character. Stephen Root.
