I thought the specific wording in their documentation was because they wanted the smell of the coffee to fill the restaurant. Did McDonald's give refills of coffee?

Worm is great! Somehow, I started with the first few chapters of someone else's fan-fic set in the worm-verse, and later found Worm. I was so incredibly confused for a while on what was real (by the original author) and what was the fiction.

I'm betting the gambling prohibition will fall in Texas in the next 10 years. Same in other states that ban it. There is just way too much money going to their immediate neighbors for the politicians to not get greedy.

Uh, why those cities? Wouldn't the metro areas like LA, Houston, New York, etc. be better?

Fair. I never played. Time to go find a rom!

Oh man, why do you have to bring up the reason why NASA assassinated Michael?

Fight accepted. Silver/Gold were the epitome. You had two areas, mother-fucking Lugia, and could battle the elite four and as a bonus, wipe the floor with your rival on specific days of the week. Plus, I can memorize about 252 pokemon. More than that and it's just a slog. Also, newly introduced day/night cycle with time passing actually meaning something? Hot damn, son, that's lighting a Ho-oh under someone's ass.

My dad helped with a 'burial at sea' thing. I'm sure they had some sort of permit, because it was a real to-do with a big casket weighted down so it would sink and such. The story goes that the weights weren't enough to sink it, and the casket ended up being air tight, so they shot a few holes in it to let air out and water in. I'm pretty sure they did it in international waters.

I'll give you one better. I once found a dude who had been chucked in a garbage pile by his son. This was out in the deep country, so lots of land and most people had a burn pile or area they chucked garbage. It was pretty cold, so the body didn't decompose very much, but there he was, laying on the ground with trash bags and various household debris piled up on top of him. The son had wrapped him with some fitted sheets. It was wild.

It's interesting to me. We saw a similar evolution in facebook, where it went from silly posts about your status, to image posts that people argued over, and now (as I saw when I visited my aging mother) it's just an endless scrolling of short videos.

People have been conditioned over the past decade to not engage with long replies or complex thoughts

I think this has two parts. One, it's just so easy for any long/complex comment to attract 'attacks' that will target some small minutia. The internet in general seems to find pedantry of grammar and small inconsistencies (in an allegory, for instance, which is not supposed to be an exact match for the tale it's telling) to be the height of humor and the best way to 'counter' an argument.

Second, I think people in general are more demanding of having their space be as comfortable and similar to them as possible. My friends of nearly three decades and I have plenty of things we disagree about, and even argue about, but it seems as if differences are no longer accepted. Let's pick a common and slightly humorous one from Lemmy: if you and I were to disagree about the extent of how evil a conservative is (not even that they are evil, or do evil, or whatever else), one or the other of us would be blocking the other, haranguing the moral turpitude that is said different belief, etc.

It combines to make anything but short, bland or 'act like they are acting' comments a headache to actually post. I've found myself typing up a response to a biology article somebody had posted, and eventually just hit the cancel button because it wasn't worth the bother.

I fucking love it.

How long ago was this? Because if it was a similar situation, the lawyer for Texas should have easily made the argument necessary in (d) here.

Yeah, doesn't everyone know that my grunts are Taylor gRunts?

As someone who has had to take care of both, I much prefer the dog. One, they're more cuddle loving, and two... they shit less. Way less.

Ah, the jack chick tracts. Nothing like a good, puritanical hell raising inside of a child's head.

It's not hard. Every good fishing knot is also a potential noose. Get out there and teach your kids and friends how to fish, young sailor!

Nah, mate. You're not pointing out facts. I can, and have, left out bills for years at a time in a communal area of the house, and none of my friends or family have taken them. Thefts among friends and loved ones are not considered normal.

the lowermost portion of any rim of any wheel

Is that why the skinny tires became a thing? To make lowriders legal by getting the rim of the tire as close as possible?

Don't even bother with the post. I bet you can get through the clamps in less than a second with a 2 foot stepladder.
