Definitely a C6 Corvette, which is appropriate for a man so old he’s on his deathbed.
Yes. We can be as doom and gloom as we want, but the world overall is infinitely better than it was even looking 25 years ago. There’s a lot of fucked up shit going on, but there are far fewer people dying of starvation and crushing poverty than ever in human history.
I’ve found the little flush cutters that came with my Ender3s are awesome for removing stuff that’s been spot-welded like this. I took apart a few cordless tool packs with them, and kept everything so neat I could easily reuse all the tabs if I wanted.
You should take a look at SteveMRE1989 on YouTube to see how long those packaged foods can last. He’s eaten rations from the early 1900s without issue usually. It’s pretty wild how well packaged some of that stuff was
He forgot to mention that after Home Depot, he stopped by Timmies on the way to his rec hockey game
I totally get that, but what I don’t understand is why Progressive was so reasonable compared to literally everyone else for literally identical coverage. It’s like for whatever reason they were the only ones who didn’t care I was in that <25 age bracket.
I’ve noticed that some insurers give insane “fuck you” quotes for no reason. I had Progressive under my parents since I started driving, and when I got my own insurance, it was around $500/6 months through them. I wanted to get other quotes from some other insurers and the rates were absolutely insane by comparison. Like, $500-800 PER MONTH. I have no idea why they were so much more. I know there are loyalty discounts and such, but I don’t think they’re going to be ~85%.
Mierdas, everything touched turns to shit
Because a kid will eventually get bored of the TV and want to hang out with a friend or play with their parents. But a tablet can provide all the stimulation and pseudo-social contact you could possibly want and you can sit there for days on one.
It’s definitely become a thing within the past decade, especially with products/ads directed more towards women. Remember that obese is not “Jabba the Hutt” levels of fat, and someone who looks like this is far past obese at 5’4" (1.61m) and 200lbs (90kg). Then, you have companies like Dove ( with ads like their “Body Positive Trailer” showing characters that are well past Class III obesity. That’s an extreme example, but it’s become quite common overall to show severely overweight people as “normal”
Companies have realized that people are getting fatter and fatter globally, so like any good capitalists they’re going to take advantage of it. It shouldn’t come as any surprise that Dove is owned by Unilever, who is also the world’s largest producer of ice cream, and suddenly their push for “body positivity” makes a bit more sense.
Now, before people go and attack me, I think that there have been many positive changes in how people are being more realistically portrayed in media and appreciate the push for more realistic body standards. Shaming people for looking “different” is not okay, and that includes being overweight.
However, what’s not okay in my mind is how quickly it’s become “being severely overweight is totally okay if you #slay queen, yaaaas”. I’ve noticed a growing trend of these types of ads, generally portraying black/PoC women (who are already statistically far more likely to become obese) who are hundreds of pounds overweight as doing all kinds of “fitness” and/or “boss babe” kinds of activities, which seems like they are trying to convince the broader audience that it’s totally okay to be 200-300lbs overweight because this obese black girl was shown wearing athletic wear.
In my many years on the internet, I’ve seen my share of fucked up shit, but that scene is still by far one of the most unsettling things I’ve ever seen.
Hell, my school basically only had cameras in a few very specific areas inside any of the buildings on campus. The only ones I was aware of in our departmental building were, understandably, keeping an eye on the doorway into the explosives labs.
Reminds me of a system I worked in that utilized DADDY ports. It was always amusing to overhear conversations about expanding the DADDY ports, things being stuck in DADDY ports, etc. Submitting tickets for them was always a lot of fun.
Because it makes the longstanding sexual themes of vampires way funnier when he has to say “no homo” every time he dines
