How are the defense contractors, and politicians going to get PAID if we aren’t constantly at war somewhere.

Johnny Cash’s cover of Hurt by NiN

The video is beautiful, but the story, and timeline of cash’s later life, is heartbreaking.

It’s not flashy, it’s not in your face, but it evokes feelings in most people, and tells a story.

I think you need to go back to elementary school and work on reading comprehension. I even asked you if I was misunderstand you, so you jump down my throat? Wtf.

And then they default, and the loan holder is surprise pikachu face because who could have ever anticipated a subprime loan defaulting. Or worse who could have ever anticipated many of them doing it when the economy takes a minor downturn? It’s a gamble that they aren’t required to prepare for, and then they turn and stick their hand out for a bailout once the inevitable happens

Driven plenty, still hate them.

It’s almost like sub prime loans are a bad idea for everyone.

I think you might be misinterpreting the statement, or I’m misinterpreting what you’re saying.

saying her life had “limited value” and the city should “just write a check”.

They are saying she isn’t worth thinking about to just cut a check to the family and tell them to fuck off. I’m paraphrasing, obviously. That tracks pretty well really.

for starters people around here tend to misinterpret what you’re saying accidentally or willfully, far more than my experience with reddit previously.

Honestly, this is what has driven me away. No matter how innocuous something I say is, there are a bunch of “well, askshewly” asshats to argue an irrelevant part of your statement, or start the “whataboutism” shit. It’s exhausting, and frankly, takes all the fun out of it.

That and the bots reposting reddit shit. I may as well go back to reddit. Plus Narwhal is still working…

Hasn’t Hawaii (at least on Oahu) had this for some time now? I know when you look up AirBNB and VRBO there are mentions of it, and to contact the owner directly, etc.

It started happening to me not long before Apollo going dark. I went from never getting a single chat request to 4-5 porn bots daily.

It is very unlikely a single person is having a comfortable life in San Diego on $80k.

That’s the thing, I live near train tracks/station. The fucking train honks incessantly. There are like 4 or 5 intersections that train crosses in pretty quick succession, plus the station, so they just lay on the horn for a good mile. No one pays attention to it. It’s like the boy that cried wolf. It totally defeats the purpose of it’s trying to alert anyone to anything. Not to mention the noise pollution it needlessly creates. Idk who decided that was a reasonable solution, instead of putting up the people gates, but fuck them. That law needs to be completely abolished imo.

That too. AFAIK the only “acceptable” terms are San Francisco or “the city”

I’m guessing they thought the article were referring to the very tourist slang name for San Francisco.

Asteroid city. Full disclosure I love pretty much every Wes Anderson movie, so it was kind of a no brainer that I’d love it. I feel like it’s more of an Anderson movie than the last few were though. It felt so much more like the royal tenenbaums or moonrise kingdom than the more recents like French dispatch did.

Typically, for me, it’s been a situation where the guy was really physically attractive, but a an absolutely horrible person.

I’m really not sure why you’re getting downvoted for this. It’s true. Whether people think it’s “tasteful” or not doesn’t change reality.

I grew up in San Diego, so huge marine and navy population. There are a handful of bars that are super fun to people watch at (typically JUST off base) for this exact reason. Alcohol and desperation make interesting bedfellows.

That’s your opinion. Not everyone agrees with you.

For anyone else curious about exactly that the competition entailed

Extreme Relaxation represents a unique experience for individuals to determine their relaxation skills in the face of adversities and stressors. Each player in the Extreme Relaxing Championships is equipped with a HR monitor given time to establish a relaxed baseline. During the competition, individuals will be asked to relax while being presented with a series of distractions, the individual with the smallest amount to change from their relaxed baseline will be deemed the winner.

Not exactly what I was expecting, but interesting.

Yes, I have, have you ever used your brain?
