  1. Props to you for raising a kid who's more mature than apparently a sizable amount of college students. Well done.

  2. If you're too shaky and unstable to do a presentation in front of a small class, give up now and drive to the tallest bridge. The level of coddling is out of control. If you never face adversity, the smallest of inconveniences will become insurmountable mountains.

    Not everyone can get the Friends and Family discount like you.

    Kids now a days like to do microtransactions with communication. Calling up and going through pleasantries is a lot of overhead for a short, half-thought. Better to blast small thoughts.

    You don't need kids to ruin small items. I'm a big boy and can ruin my own items myself, thank you very much.

  6. The other 3 quarters couldn't be reached for comment.

    I've fractured 2 orbitals, a hand, a foot, my nose twice, toes a dozen times, and so on. I've had 3 hernia repairs, teeth removed, an appendectomy, half a dozen eye surgeries, had a tooth drilled without any numbing agents, and so on. Through all of this, I can confirm what you say is true. I can also say that mindfulness training has also taught me one thing: if not for physics, I'd be invulnerable!

    I would've gotten first post on this, but the page loaded too slowly. Dammit.

    Something should be done about this. Anyone ask Google what their thoughts are?

    I can turn caffeine into code, but CO2 to Mt Dew ingredients? That's black magic...

  10. ... And there's still a ridiculous amount of derangement. Hilldog was a bad candidate who few outside the far left liked. She was caught meddling in her own party's process to boot Bernie. She tried pretending that destroying evidence on her personal email server was an innocent mistake. Worst of all, she pretended to be a saint when she is definitely not. That wolf in sheeps clothing never sat well with me. Look up Hitchens thoughts on her for more things to be unsettled about. Now 2 years later, uncountable hours have gone into trying to shift the blame. When will the Dems admit it was a mistake to have her as the candidate?

    I was gonna guess porn. I'd offer a citation, but I know I'd get distracted while researching the material.

  13. What's to say the younger generation has enough wisdom to be better than the last? Yeah, they may have more skin in the game, but it's a bit presumptuous to say that they'll magically solve the problem with less experience. You're like the people who say Rust will save us from C...

    I have to power cycle my brain after the 10th beer pretty regularly. Are you comparing beer to Microsoft? BLASPHEMY!

  15. Here's some helpful information from another woman. . She too used to have trouble with temperatures.

  16. We have billions of people on this earth. You can't tell me the best idea we have is use robots and shit. There's literally more people than ever. I don't remember history books talking about how lonely people were as some terrible thing only eclipsed by famine or war. Where did we go wrong?

  17. I want Legos that cause more injury to parents and their feet. Children need a way to protect themselves by building a wall, of sorts. And they're going to make their parents pay for it. Don't get me started on their ideas. They're not bringing ice cream, but groundings and chores. Is that what we want? #makelegogreatagain

    You have a misunderstanding of the term safe spaces. It should be obvious by now that most people have plenty of "safe spaces". But, imagine you're a LGBTQ college kid who shares a 12' x 12' dorm room with a bigoted moron. Where do you go to get away from that.

    My suggestion would be to deal w/ the problem and sort shit out. If you can't handle dealing with one asshole without folding into a puddle, I've got terrible news for you: the world is filled with them.

    Your argument strikes me as a strawman. Pretty sure every single college in the country has a procedure for when two students living together need to be relocated. So what's your argument boil down to? It's difficult to switch roommates?

  21. I use Visa only. Thankfully, I can rest easy knowing that'd never happen with anything but Mastercard. /s

  23. "25 years of block chain experience" sounds like an alternate title for Shawshank Redemption.

  24. Makes sense. Cats don't give two shits about personal space. Pretty presumptuous to think they'd care about whitespace...

  25. Is Becky's baby the cutest baby in the entire world? Becky thinks so, as Birthday 1.0 arrives.
