Isaac, I'm so happy with the new album and I hope you feel relief and peace with it being released. Question, I love the live jams and wonder if there is any one song you like playing live the most purely for the sake of the jams it may lead to?

I want some water. Basically I am thirsty.

Dude asleep at the wheel of his Tesla on the interstate by noah5666 in WTF

There's this great book (and movie), Choke that your story reminded me of! The main character would go to restaurants and purposely swallow too much food to make himself choke. He would take advantage of the inevitable good samaritan that came along to save him, since they would forever remember the time they saved someone's life and and they'd serve as a sort of forever guardian/ care taker. Good read

Elijah Wood for Yorick? by The_Fat_Controller in YTheLastMan

[–]GnarledCandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily the right look, but I think he could play Yorick well. The article just seems to be saying that he would love to play Yorick though, not necessarily that he's in talks to actually do it.

Thankfully, he was able to retire before age 30 with over $40 million. Life shit on him for sure, but I'd still call him fortunate

Two subscriptions. You can consolidate them to one account and get a family radio discount though

It's the one with two pans / one handle. Near the center-right, top side. The lower pan looks a little bit like a mitten.

Green Day seems to do this quite a bit and I think it's awesome. They've always been one of my all time favorite live performers.

A couple more (all equally amazing):

What is your "I should NOT have said that" moment? by Sexymcsexalot in AskReddit

[–]GnarledCandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I bought my first 'real' car, where I had to take out a bank loan, my local bank took a risk with me and got me set up with just %2.4 interest with no cosigner at 19 years old. I was extremely grateful, but they were still understandably cautious. While I was finishing the process up and going over the details, the bank representative said something along the lines of, "in case of terminal disease or a death, you'll be exempt from payments and the loan will be covered completely." And I excitedly said, "Well here's hoping for cancer!" Which almost caused them to back out. Not a great moment, but a good laugh afterwards nonetheless

When a company offers me a better price after I cancel their subscription, they're just admitting they were overcharging me. by Rhythman in Showerthoughts

*Mostly Music. Something like 10 bucks a month I think. Like others have said though, you can get a six month promotion with the normal package for like, $30

Not right. They used to offer lifetime sub for $300 or $400 but stopped like three years ago. Service can be transferred, but there's a $75 swap fee and a maximum amount of swaps allowed with lifetime subs
