I’ll never forget the look of sheer unmitigated horror on my brother’s face one of the first times he met my wife. We had started riffing on something I don’t for the life of me remember what and he hits the thousand yard stare after a minute or two and just says “Oh my God, there’s two of them… And they make each other worse.”
Idk Pan-Pan is pretty cute. Ice Bear is cool though.
Yeah I feel like that puts it into better words than I was able to.
I don’t know if it qualifies as a cooperative. I know they’re a nonprofit and they’ve got a board that we can just join for some fairly cheap dues even for our fixed income. My wife was actually on it for a while before our twins were born.
My landlord is actually a community nonprofit group that owns several units in our neighborhood. They do rent for the most part based on income. I forget the exact breakdowns but iirc it’s capped on the upper end at an actually reasonable percentage of your income so you’re not paying most of your paycheck to rent. Then my wife and I are on the low end because we’re on a fixed income. Before we got approved for section 8 we paid their lowest flat rate which is basically just enough to cover property taxes and maintenance which iirc percentage wise was a higher percentage of our income than their normal rate is but it still wasn’t crazy for us.
Then they use the excess to do things like update the units to make them more energy efficient, community organizing, etc. They’ve also bought out a couple of abandoned houses in the area and redeveloped them so people can actually live in them.
I personally don’t have a problem with landlords per se. Not everybody wants to own a home and deal with all of the maintenance and things that go along with it. I don’t even necessarily have a problem with them getting paid to deal those things. What I personally have a problem with is housing being used as passive incomea free money cheat.
Nah, for the Kpop group it’s a shortening of the group’s full Korean name Bangtan Sonyeondan which in English translates to “Bulletproof Boy Scouts”. Though in recent years they apparently also added “Beyond the Scene” to try to show how they’ve grown since they first began.
Definitely doesn’t help that most of the damn US has some form of Anti-BDS laws. Because everybody knows Anti-Zionism is Anti-Semitism right guys?
One time I was dealing with a really bad migraine while I was running register at Walmart. I was barely functioning and could barely stand up straight. This lady comes through my line starting out all compassionate until she suggests that she lead me in a prayer that Jesus might heal me. I try to politely decline because I’d rather not hold up the line forming behind her. Well, also because I’m atheist but I had been in customer service for years at that point and knew better than to bring that tidbit up.
This lady starts into the most hate fueled tirade I’ve ever heard. Talking about how I’m a heathen, my migraine was a punishment directly from God, I deserve every second of my suffering, and calling me everything but a child of God. All because I tried to politely decline a performative prayer from her because there were now 3 people in line behind her. Like 20 minutes later I got taken out in an ambulance because I fainted from the pain trying to stand up after using the bathroom on my break.
Another guy tried to get me to discount his entire order because he supposedly knew the guy that owned the contacting company that built the store. Try to tell him that I don’t have the ability to do that and he’d have to talk to a manager. He gets right up in my face and starts yelling about how no one else ever had a problem with it and how with one phone call he could make it so I would never be able to work at Walmart again. Along with several threats to my person. If I never set foot behind a cash register again it’ll be too soon.
Yeah that’s pretty much it. You had multiple virtual desktops that let you have different sets of windows up on each and when you switched between them it played this cool animation of them laid out in a cube that you rotated to the next face. Then the wobbly windows is exactly what it sounds like. They’d jiggle when you dragged them around or when you maximized them.
Ran like crap on my old laptop I used for school but my god it was necessary to have. Still brings a goofy smile to my face whenever I’m moving windows around today since it’s a thing you can still do in Linux desktop environments. Had I not had my Comp Sci degree pursuits disrupted by chronic illness I’d likely have had a similar experience to OP.
I think they mean that if it were actually true and Republicans could prove it the Clintons would be dead? Not sure it’s a little hard to parse.
Well, their source code appears to be freely available on Github. That’s a pretty good indicator.
There’s a scene where the titular Hancock threatens a couple of guys by saying he’s going to shove the one guy’s head up the other guy’s ass. They continued to fuck around and subsequently found out.
Agreed fellow allosexual, Sex IS indeed OP.
… What’s that? They said OPSEC? The fuck is an OPSEC? Some new part of the queer alphabet soup that I haven’t heard of?
Sorry, that little skit played out in my head after reading your reply. It’s a weird thing when your intrusive thoughts turn to shitposting. I feel like that person on a leash meme where the thing I’m trying to control is a coked up shitpost tulpa.
What about asexuals?
Nothing at all. We don’t exist. Even if we did exist we certainly wouldn’t be plotting to invade Denmark. Shh…
It’s closer to hair color for cats. Race would be more like the breed of the cat.
I was specifically trying to get all the achievements in it in 1 run because I had borrowed it for just a weekend from a buddy of mine at my college. I got to the final boss and just unloaded everything. Fight ended in like 30 seconds.
I told him to check my achievements when I gave it back to him. I get a random Xbox live voice message of him just screaming “WHAT AAAAARE YOU!?” 10/10 would torture myself again.
I’m so terminally awkward about all this. Cuz I want to be sure that the person I’m about to ask for help isn’t like on break or waiting for their shift to start or something and “Excuse me, are you on the clock?” Sounds super condescending to me. So I just awkwardly default to “Do you work here?” or “Do you know someone who can help me?” because English is basically impossible for my dumbass self.
Pffft, you believe in the Moon?
