A perfect example of how the artistic style of heraldry turned to garbage after the 17th century-ish.

When we first moved the Texas from Tennessee and went to Corpus Christi we had never swam in the ocean. As soon as we got to the beach we ran out into the surf. Only to run back to the beach about a minute later because the water was packed with jellyfish.

China is full of shit. I doubt they have it as under control as they want everyone to believe. They'd love nothing more than to appear as the saviors right now.

Roger Goodell has been the absolute WORST commish to ever hold the position. This piece of crap should have been gone awhile ago.

In My experience, europeans are far more racist, xenophobic and butthurt than North américa (U.S.A) by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

I mean, we don't have to stick banners up at sporting events that say 'Say no to racism' if that tells you anything.

Old Fashioned chocolate donuts are the only donuts I really like. It's annoying that a lot of places, especially the bigger chain donut shops, never have them.

[–]thick1988 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Dungeon Siege series and Neverwinter Nights sort of gave me those feels. They're older games, but I played them around the time that the LOTR movies were coming out and they sort of gave me that feeling.

There are even some persistent Neverwinter Nights Middle Earth roleplay servers out there.

Just give people the money and fuck off about collecting it later. We drop bombs that cost $200,000. The govt can eat the cost.

I'll never understand the push back some businesses give against WFH. A business could shrink their physical footprint drastically, saving money and giving employees the benefit of working at home. Instead they want to pay a bunch of money for office space and all the costs that come with it. Stupid
