I live on an island in the Atlantic. There's this beach cottage nestled in the dunes along the southern shore, and it's been there for over a hundred years. The wealthy family that owns it no longer lives on the island, but they love the space and don't want it to fall into ruin so they've had a series of caretakers for the past thirty years or so. The position is unpaid, BUT it comes with the freedom to use the property year-round. I was the caretaker for fifteen years, and a few years back passed the title down to a friend (so I can still visit.) It's one of the most magical places on Earth, and every time I'm there it's like my health and mana bars get refilled.

...has nothing to do with the OP's question.

What you think about them, they think about you.

True, but irrelevant.

They're not evil, they're not idiots.

Hard disagree - they have to be at least one of those things to be MAGA, usually both.

If they lived nextdoor you would probably find each other very pleasant.

Hah! They DO live next door and I most certainly don't find them pleasant.

Maybe I'm just not quite awake yet and am missing the joke... but did you seriously miss the fact that "Snrub" is just "Burns" in reverse?

I'm with you. Everyone in this thread arguing for shoehorns comes off like an actual kook. Buy shoes that fit your feet, and loosen the laces if you're struggling. Anything else is stubborn insanity.

Have you ever tried loosening the laces?

Well, it's been about twenty years and I haven't gone back to the cubicle farm!

I used to be a programmer, but I got sick of the whole corporate scene. Now I build and maintain houses - and my hands are dirty a good amount of the time!

• YouTube Premium, because I listen to a ton of music but I also like listening to dorkier deep-dive video channels.
• Disney+ w/ Hulu because I am a raging Marvel fanboy and like to be able to keep up with shows like Simpsons/Family Guy/Bob's Burgers.
• Office 365. This is the most likely to get canceled at some point. I used to need Office for work, but now I mostly use the Notes app and Excel on my phone... and the 1 TB of OneDrive storage isn't as great a deal as it once was.

I'm in this picture and it's making me so soul-crushingly nostalgic that I'm gonna log off and go to bed.

IMO, this is the most rational stance to have, regarding sportsball.

The only thing atheists should stop doing is tolerating the nonsense of the religidiots.

I like the cut of your jib.

Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Hear hear!
