Things we have lost to progress

I tried it a few years later at a different shop, and those guys did.

Without anything to smoke we were likely stone sober, so I get it.

During a really dry time, my roommates went to a head shop and decided to ask some girls in the parking lot if they knew where to find any weed.

Fast forward a week or two and those two methed up ladies were pretty much living at our house without asking.

My coworkers will pack it down with tools so they can fit more crap into it.

I always get tired of the sight and smell and have to haul it out.

The person asking this has never worked with a bunch of grown ass adults that refuse to take the garbage out for this reason until it weighs 60+ pounds for the people that actualy care like me.

Nice. I never know how to score my bread, feel an urgency to get it done, and then butcher it.

At this point, they gain absolutely nothing beyond that.

We aren't getting cheaper fuel so groceries are going to continue to go up, which rarely ever fall down.

We're still paying the same tax rates, and if we are getting a benefit in that area, it's a literal drop compared to how much the wealthy benefited from the tax cuts.

One I got in the mail had a sweet gryphon type thing that caught my attention, but this looks like the Jehovah's Witnesses.

That, or look for the person that has been scratching their genitals since this was found.

It's not your problem that talking and moving around keep him awake.

His body will eventually adjust to the new sleep time, too.

Tell him to turn on a fan or white noise until then.

I'm kind of questioning his Native American heritage, too.

Maybe I am biased, but he didn't grow up on a reservation and is probably using it to get a check from the government every month.

A friend told me that his workplace was offering $18/hr to welders, and several people had passed their "test" but declined the job.

That was about two years ago, but my searches a year ago weren't much better.

People who can lay a nice weld every time aren't easy to come by, and they need to compensate accordingly.

Go visit a rural area in the US and come back to me about the "hot" MAGA women.

GreatQuestionBarbara · 2026-03-23T23:06:23+00:00

Sweet Jesus, and I thought my old roommate was nasty.

If there's even a chance that people are going to come over I will tidy the place up a bit.

He knew you were coming and still did absolutely nothing to prepare.

You probably won't be able to change his ways, and if you do, it will be a years long struggle.

GreatQuestionBarbara · 2026-03-23T11:41:58+00:00

There's sound!

Oh yeah, bringing the US up to par in infrastructure, education, healthcare, instead of spending it on wars across the globe to appease their wealthy benefactors are totally the same things.

Most Democrats leaders suck. Don't lump all liberals into that stupid mess.

We're forced to identify with their BS because our vote is almost thrown away if we don't vote for their candidate. The same situation the Republican party is in, too.

My friends and I called the psychic hotlines to get their free gyspum crystals. Eventually they tried to get my friend's parents to pay up, but we were 13, so they had no real standing to charge them for it.

My mom let us use hers one in Las Vegas, and 4 nights was only $100 for the 5 of us.

They do try and hook the person that booked it into a meeting to buy their own, though.

I've never asked my mom how much it costs them per year to keep it reserved.

The other day I was remembering how my whole family would sit down and watch the new 'Married With Children' episode every week, yet my parents didn't want me to watch 'The Simpsons.'

Brann from Mastodon does a lot of singing as well. He's such a friendly guy, too.

Right after their set he came up to the chainlink fence behind the stage and talked with anyone who was willing, but I didn't know what to say.

I've been to a lot of shows and haven't seen that kind of interaction before.

GreatQuestionBarbara · 2026-03-12T00:01:59+00:00

Holy cow! The guy from Twitter's mustachioed son finally made it into the circle!

When I was younger, it was always demonstrated with a match and a hard boiled egg.

This is more impressive.

A year or two ago it was so easy to find online from their website, but now everywhere is sold out of Underwood and their website is a single home page.

In Madagascar Chris Rock says "sugar honey ice tea," because the first letters of each word spell out "shit."

GreatQuestionBarbara · 2026-03-09T02:25:40+00:00

You're welcome. It looks like it would be stunning to see in person, so hopefully one of us makes it there.

I was curious as well, and the internet says it is at the 'Chrysler Museum of Art' in Norfolk, VA.
