What if they're American vegans who use the imperial system of measurement, don't own a bidet, and microwave their water for tea? Should I break out the cross and hammer?
Wizardry was great. I'll never understand how I lived in one of those ultra religious eighties homes that wouldn't let me play D&D but wizardry, Ultima, and bards tale were just fine.
Also in Texas because twenty years ago, my beloved wife HAD to have a house and there was no way in hell that was happening in California.
Today the wife is gone, the house is gone, the dogs are dead, and the daughter is grown and living in a far away civilized state that respects her right to exist.
And I'm still here. I pretty much don't leave the house anymore except to go to work and get groceries. So very, very tired of everything here, but no viable way out in the foreseeable future.
Jesus Christ. I met my ex-girlfriend through mutual music tastes. We both followed bands that are well under the national radar.
I couldn't take her to bars because she would load up the jukebox with hours worth of the music we listened to.
I'm the first to admit that it's an acquired taste, not necessarily something you want to blast throughout a bar full of drunks who don't know it and more likely than not won't like it.
This happened over and over. Got thrown out of a couple places because she would get in fights over it.
To the laughy emoji, I think a Harris/Vance administration would be a lot funnier except that the assassination attempts to get Vance in there would probably occur daily.
I used to work at a place where several partners were members of this church. The open disdain directed toward me for not being a churchgoer and the ostracization the occurred were a significant factor of my decision to leave.
After I left, one of the partners harassed me for several years via phone calls, text messages, and hand written letters mailed to my home trying to get me to turn my heathen ways around.
One of those letters said something asking the lines that while I had chosen eternal damnation for myself, I owed an opportunity of salvation to my daughter, so I needed to bring her to this church.
I don't remember how many years this continued, but it finally stopped.
I cast my first vote in 1990. It was the first and last time I ever voted for a Republican. Please forgive me. I was eighteen and raised under Reagan. I didn't yet know better.
Anywho, I concur with your assessment. We've fallen so very far.
Well earned hatred for Zuck aside, Trump really seems like he wants to imprison the entirety of the seventy percent of Americans who don't bend the knee to him. Depending on what level of military support he garners if he manages to weasel his way back to the White House, we could realistically be looking at a Cambodia Khmer Rouge situation.
I'm not a gun guy, but I've seriously been thinking about getting one - not for self defense against a militarized police force or unimaginably powerful military, but as a quick out should things turn to round up the Dems bad.
I'd wager that his lease has a mandatory arbitration clause that requires him to pay up front then try to get it back via arbiters chosen by the landlord.
I love that the GOP has essentially been trying to destroy the Ivy League since the whole Israel thing got going, but so many of them are products of said Ivy League.
And I literally can't leave the office for ten minutes to go buy lunch downstairs. Gotta bring my lunch and eat it at my desk while fielding internal and external questions.
I had an Apple ][+ in 1982 and an Apple ][c in 1984.
Cost less is a relative term depending on application.
They were cheaper than full business model IBM computers (who hadn't much entered into the home computer market) but significantly more expensive than other home offerings such as commodore or (shudder) radio shack.
Not in computers. I'm an accountant. I don't have enough money to throw the double middle fingers. Can somebody please, for the love of all that's holy, show me the way out or, you know, come sneak onto my property when I'm not looking and delete me?
Edit: JUST now, I got told that I'm unprofessional because I refuse to give my personal cell phone number to all three thousand of our clients. I said that my private phone funded by my personal money is not a business asset and they can give me a company phone if they want me texting clients. This was met with a huff, turning of a back on me, and storming off.
There were a bunch of geese around my grandparents' house when I was a kid. God those things would torment me. They had free range of the property and I tended to completely avoid the area they hung out because they were hyper aggressive and would chase after me every time I got anywhere near them. I was six years old, so it felt like they were as tall as me and they were definitely faster.
It wasn't so bad once I got a little older, a little taller, and relied more on my bicycle than my feet for movement.
Nonetheless, those things gave me childhood trauma to the extent that I still can't stand geese some forty five years later.
Meanwhile, Harris has spoken of an unrealized gain tax on people with over a hundred million dollars.
The GOP tantrums from this willfully ignore that whole hundred million dollar part and are telling people that they'll be taxed on assessment increases of their homes.
