Björk - Venus as a boy with a boner.

They got rich getting in early, or on the ground floor, of whatever market they’ve exploited, and think survival in an apocalypse is the same.

We need to start a map of these places and start fucking with them NOW not later. Make them regret building them before they ever need something like that.

You had me until you pressed the garlic. No wonder it has no flavor…

There’s a Bluey episode I just recently watched with my son, it’s called Copycat that deals with this same topic. Bluey deals with it by modeling her dads behavior with the same outcome. I can’t remember how Calvin ends up dealing with it, but seem to remember it being similar. And that’s really what our jobs are as parents; modeling as many behaviors in as ethical a way we can, and hope that our kids figure the rest out from there.

I’d hope that this would institute federal rules for vehicle egress and drive controls. Even if it’s only because a Richie died.

Jeep was forced to recall their confusing shifters after one crushed that actor in his driveway.

But I can also see Elon being a fucking snowflake about it and trying to whine his way out of spending any inflated investor money fixing this problem.

I’ve done it. I kinda miss Ruby actually.

Isn’t that about 10,000 years before that?

The Red Sea flood makes way more sense (ha). Especially when you consider what peoples’ sense of “the whole world” was at the time.

Though some thinkers did already know the circumference of the earth, which make Judaism and Christianity sound even more ass backwards when you consider it all.

I guarantee that the LePen crowd is still trying to whitewash their pasts as they push their nationalistic bullshit.

Can I cite this on Wikipedia?

We were not all standing behind that war criminal. 50000 of us protested in Boston alone.

There was a majority supporting those assholes, but plenty of us didn’t agree with the obviously unrelated invasion of Iraq and the bungling of Afghanistan (where we later learned, they had probably just let Bin Laden walk across the border to Pakistan).

In case anyone is wondering, this appears to be from at least 11 years ago.

Are we posting the best of Reddit here? I’m ok with that, but it’d be nice if it was mentioned in the title, maybe repost: source or something.

Edit: autocorrect.

I’m pretty sure it’s in reference to a meme about menthol in plants, and how humans decided that it’s tasty since if feels cool when you eat it.

We do the same with capsaicin, lemon, and other plants that evolved defense mechanisms that result in odd flavors.
