But but but capitalism, free market, competition, etc. etc. etc …

A day? In New England we say if you don’t like the weather, wait 15 minutes, it’ll change. And Boston drivers aren’t bad, just aggressive. New Jersey drivers are bad.

Go away sea lion

It was way more than that- like 50-70k…

*Edit* never mind me, apparently that was a retention bonus, different thing

Same way I stuck with my wife for 20 years despite her being a rotten person - I kept hoping it would get better, and she’d string me along with promises… Then she cheated on me with our son’s best friend’s dad, that finally made it easy to leave, and once I left, hindsight made all the previous mistreatment so much more obvious…

Yet pistachio ice cream has always been green…

How did he make it to Nebraska without filling up at least once before that?

Amazing, I have the same combination on my luggage…

I’m farsighted, but I see well enough at close range for combat, so same.

It could be harder…

Bothers me because I’m in process of divorcing my wife, and she pretty much does whatever the kids want so she can be the fun parent while I am the one who worries about this kind of stuff and ends up being the boring/antifun parent. So she has probably already done whatever, and if I stop them, I’m the bad guy…

The second ammendment was wirten back when the people and the government had the same weapons.

That was the point. A point that has been lost over the years.

It’s easy, you just aim a little lower.

A person has to get in that tank, and sooner or later, they have to get out again…

Yes, but how do you determine that? I’m not trying to be a smartass, but I am going through a divorce, and recently sold the house my wife and I lived in for the past 10 years. I moved out first, then after a couple weeks her lawyer informed mine that the house was vacant, so I shut off the a/c and the ring service to save money until it was ready for sale- then found out she hadn’t actually moved out. I don’t know if her lawyer just made a mistake, or if she lied to him, but either way they tried to claim that I was being “petty”. Then it took her months to move her stuff out. At some point she did move to her mom’s, but I don’t know exactly when, but when I was cleaning out the refrigerator, I found stuff that had expired around the time I moved out, but that wasn’t unusual for her so who tf knows. Point being, it’s not always easy for someone to determine whether a property is lived in or not. Then of course you have the situation where someone goes away for say 3-6 months but intends to come back. Maybe it’s a one-time thing, maybe it’ll be every year, who knows? People will say whatever.

Who determines what is “empty” and how?

I did that when I was young and worked throwaway jobs. I used to have a manager named Rick who would routinely make fun of people’s names… So I would call him Prick. To his face, of course. He tried to fire me once, but he was overruled by the owner.

Yes, fellow human.

Oh hey, it’s Tuesday again.

Start?
