The same idiots that tried to tell us that NFTs were “totally going to change the world bro, trust me”

I had a boss back in the day that I had a really good rapport with, and he would jokingly call me Shrek because I was almost a foot taller than he was. I also worked in a lot of restaurants in my late teens to early twenties and found a love for cooking that has never really gone away.

She blinds everybody with her super high beams,

She’s a squirrel crushing, deer smacking, driving machine

Canyoneroooooooooo

Last election was in 2019, and they’re usually every 5 years. The next one has to be set for no later than January 2025, but could be earlier than that.

Yet surprisingly, not a “growth” industry. I’ll see myself out.

What if he’s like, SUPER sparkly?

I’ll see your over the top Volcano scene and raise you the grandma in Dante’s Peak dying via boiling-acid-lake-water death scene. How both of these movie came out at the same time AND had so many weird similarities will forever be beyond me.

It really depends on which version of the report got delivered.

My great-grandfather’s rocking chair. I don’t know the exact date, but it’s from the early 1900’s and was refurbished some time in the 50’s. Still in amazing shape and solid as hell.

If they also had a penchant for dragging anchors for hundreds of kilometers, I think we can make a few educated guesses as to their fate.

The butterfly effect refers to chaos theory where all events are interconnected no matter how small, so a butterfly flapping its wings in Tokyo could cause a tornado in the mid-west USA. The lady bug is pure myth about one landing on you bringing good luck, no idea what specific culture/myth that’s based on though.

Asking out of ignorance, but why would no party ever be able to win a majority? Are there just too many parties to allow for one to have that much control?

Also 6’4”, but I have knee problems as opposed to back problems so I’m in the standing up group. My dad has chronic back pain though, so I can totally see your point of view. I would which back problems on my worst enemy after seeing him suffer with it for decades.

I mean, that’s pretty dang cool looking. At least some artist (likely group of them) got paid to make something neat even if it’s commercial in nature.

The latter.

Wasn’t there a report where some of the devs called him a seagull because he would just fly by whatever you were working on and shit all over it? Maybe I’m misremembering who that’s attributed to though, there are lots of terrible people in games.

The other thing about watching at home is the comfort level. Regardless of breaks, if I’m in my big comfy chair with no distractions from other movie-goers, it’s easier to be immersed and watch for longer periods.

That being said, his “unbound genius” needs to get reined the F in. I got flamed on Reddit back in the day for suggesting The Irishman was too damned long, but you could pick any random point in the middle of it and cut 45 minutes and nothing would be lost. If you feel the need as a director to make movies this long and bloated, just make it a miniseries for god’s sake.

At the very least, don’t get pissy when theaters want to give people a stretch/bathroom break.

I appreciate the honest reply, and I hope I didn’t come across as condescending in my last post as it was not meant to be an attack, but more of a “huh?” statement. All of those are valid concerns, but I would argue that while not perfect, they’re a much better version of Sam’s/Walmart/Target, and their bulk goods offering doesn’t put them in direct competition with smaller mom and pop stores due to consumers not being able to get quantities/brands that they always want. It’s also very supportive to markets like local restaurants and stores that don’t have built in supply chains that may not want to shop at conglomerate supply stores.

Short version, I don’t necessarily agree with you, but I appreciate your perspective and the well thought out response.

At least half of these are the “Why he say fuck me for!?” meme. Costco actually treats their employees well, has razor thin margins, keeps profits low to maximize value, and pays living wages. Also, $1.50 hotdogs in 2023 is bordering on insanity as far as value is concerned.

I also have no idea how you truly avoid all of these without living like Ted Kaczynski.
