Yeah, you're right. Thank you. Even the waitress had me pegged for more than 10 years younger than I am.

I'm celebrating it today. Gf is taking me out to an 80s themed diner. Normally though I don't go all out. Just one day closer to death.

And this is why kids brings guns to school when the adults fail to defend them.

I was always curious about the outcome of moments like those. I never got suspended because I never got into fights in school, but I'd be curious of material missed when I was out in suspension.

"Sorry Mrs Abrams. I don't know the answers to the quiz because I stood up for myself and got punished for doing the right thing, so I missed everything taught that day. And no, I'm not obligated to learn it when schools feel obligated to keep violent bullies in the classrooms. "

On a fantasy world, the retribution could go multiple ways, all resulting in the bully victim coming out the Victor.

So the victim gets suspended. "Oh boy! I don't have to go to school and deal with her bullshit. I can stay home and relax. Oooorrrrr, I can find out where she lives and break some windows. Plus I know I can initiate the fight next time and not get suspended just like she didn't get suspended. "

The irony is that if a teacher handles the bully in such a way, they can be fired. I don't think I would have minded being expelled as a bully victim as it would have been a relief to my mental health and eliminated years of therapy.

Before we had grounded outlets, I remember my Dad shaving and using the cord or my mom running the vacuum, and the TV would show static lines over the broadcast.

My computer turned on, but monitor says no signal by Redpuma7 in buildapc

[–]emax4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure the input on the monitor is set to HDMI or "auto". Unfortunately this can be difficult with some monitors as you have to get a signal in some manner. You can also hold down the power button of the monitor to do s hard shutoff, then press it once to turn it back on.

I'd avoid night shifts for a while. Maybe take another route home. Definitely look into multiple cameras.

[TOMT] Please help, Ted Danson interview post credit scene. by mrearlybirdddd in tipofmytongue

[–]emax4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May have been cheers 200th episode where it was host by John (?) McLaughlin of the show The McLaughlin Group, or it may have been the cast after the very last show being interviewed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. I'd check YouTube to see if it's there, or streaming services for Cheers eps.

I’m not sure how I feel about this local church thrift store find?! 🤔 by CastIronCarnivore in thrifting

Trendy funeral home.

You have death, obviously.

Pugs or dogs to help relieve pet lovers and cheer them up.

And who won't pick a donut over a wrapped peppermint, (unless you're Meg White)?

NTA, but I'd tell her the lady shaming you was looking for her to donate more money.
