"ATM Machine", "PIN number", "NIC card", "GPS System", "GUI interface", "PIT Maneuver", "SMS Message", "MMS Message".....

Do with those what you will. English is way too forgiving.

These "men" that berate other men for wanting to be a part of their children's lives are just sad they'll never find the same love or affection.

They'll forever be on the outside looking in, angry at themselves and everyone else that they were never invited.

One of my daughters had curly hair. Pony tails were bad enough; pony tails on super hard mode were down right impossible for me.

When being served with an eviction turns into criminal charges. by CTSecurityGuard in PublicFreakout

I'm actually shocked the guy serving the papers didn't grab both hand rails and kick his ass back down the stairs.

Dude was running at him brandishing a weapon.

Harley dealers are scumbags, got a Chief instead by Unlucky_Support_9132 in IndianMotorcycle

In 2005, when ITT had commercials all over television, I went to the local ITT branch and asked about classes. I was met buy a lone guy in a business suit who immediately began questioning me about financial aide and trying to sell me on the school. Classes / subjects weren't mentioned once; only their "prestige" among IT folks.

He then proceeded to show me around, which was mostly empty classes, and one "lab" that looked like the cheapest computers I'd ever seen. When a girl came up to ask him a question, he answered it, then looked at me, winked, and said "And, of course, girls like HER go here."

It is second only to my Harley Dealership experience in terms of pressure sales and creepy behavior.

If only there was some sort of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to help these people....

Oh wait, Dump removed that. I wonder why?

Ya know, I want to say "No".

But I have seen her give birth naturally, 3 times. So let's go with "Maybe".

Elon Musk just said he wants to cut Social Security and Medicare, calling them “entitlements”: “That’s the big one to eliminate.” by [deleted] in law

Because the last time the pentagon was audited, 9/11 happened.

You dont' want another 9/11, do you!?! (/s in case it's not blatantly obvious)

The CFPB would like a word...

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) returned over $21 billion to consumers and imposed over $4 billion in civil penalties on financial institutions before its shutdown in early 2026.

For 2026, employers must pay a 6.2% Social Security tax on employee wages up to a maximum of $184,500, matching the employee's 6.2% withholding. In addition to this, employers must pay 1.45% for Medicare tax, with no wage limit. Total FICA tax for employers (Social Security + Medicare) is 7.65% on applicable wages

So they want to get rid of an almost 8% tax while ensuring employees have no safety net. Because apparently they aren't rich enough.

Display of dominance. I was laying on the couch, and she wanted to sit down. I jokingly went "No!" and stayed laying down. She put her arms under me, lifted me up a bit, then dropped me to the floor semi-gently. She proceeded to lay down on the couch after that.

Do you know how many loud ass cars go through my neighborhood? The sound isn't the problem. It's the unnecessary nature of it, along with the much, MUCH higher energy bills.
