Sounds like you've got executive level potential.

They don't exactly prevent breakage either. They actually shatter with just slightly more force than normal vehicle glass, it's just that they take quite a lot more impacts to actually penetrate through them.

It's not meant to be taken literally, but as a blatant hyperbole. The joke is referencing the fact that 2 ply toilet paper is notably softer than 1 ply toilet paper, and extrapolating that to the fictitious extreme of 10 ply toilet paper which, if possible, would be unbelievably soft. It's from the show Letterkenny, as are a bunch of the other things people are commenting in response.

"Hey, what's for lunch?"

"A stick of butter."

You speak with wisdom. Indeed, today we strengthened our house further, by meeting back up and working together to improve the reliability of both our vehicles, for the GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!

I went out to dinner with my parents FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE! It's always nice when I get to spend some time with them and catch up.

Well, the provided image of the suspect is going to be unhelpful to their investigation. I've seen less blurry shots of sasquatch. Why did they even bother releasing it?

Actually, now that I think on it maybe the shooter was some sort of cryptid...

The phrase "natural causes" here refers to it being a medical reason not caused by a murder, accident, or suicide, just the body failing for whatever other reason.

"Hey George, like and comment on my videos again."

"Sure, Lenny, I'm gonna write a real nice comment on your latest video right now." *sniffle*

Not at all. He'd still do the evil stuff that benefits him personally, or that he does out of spite, or that he does because it riles up his supporters. Honestly, he'd probably still do some things to benefit Putin for free too, just to help out someone he admires. Still, I think he'd do less (or at least different) evil stuff if no one had been willing to buy him.

What would be notably different, I think, would be the amount of "disrespect" he puts up with from his buyers. Elon hasn't once been publicly deferential to Trump, when everyone else he's working with has to toe the line very carefully or get fired

I can't remember who it was, but I saw a comedy routine where the guy described a conversation he had with his financial advisor. The advisor asked him "What does financial stability mean to you?" The comedian, having just recently started earning real money from comedy for the first time, had never even considered such a question before and had to ponder on it for a moment. Finally he thought up an answer. "What financial stability means to me is when I'm ordering food and they ask if I want to add guacamole, I don't have to think about it, I can just say yes."

That line really stuck with me, and I have found it to be an accurate indicator of my own financial stability. Only works if you actually like guac though.

Oh yeah, I didn't mention it, but I 100% agree it's bullshit. They want to be able to track you better, and make it easier to convince you to subscribe to 360. Their bullshit keeps me employed, but I'd rather my job wasn't needed and do something different if it meant M$ was bullshit free. That'll never happen though, it would be less profitable for them.
