My first email was Firstname_Lastname@aol.com. When aol became insufferable and a challenger appeared, I made Firstname.Lastname@gmail.com.

Gmail lets you add "."s anywhere and it’ll still work, so all my spammy or whatever things I sign up for are Firs.T.Nam.E.L.Astnam.E@gmail.com or some random variation. Makes it easy to delete all the junk.

Blue, no, yellow.

AAAAAHHHHHHHHH

“flavor” lol

See, my favorite is GNU, for “GNU’s Not Unix”.

I’ve even heard people say “Double-yoos dot”, and even that compressed version is still more syllables than the full thing.

Those are all brown AWD wagons with a manual transmission and come used from the factory.

Was gonna say, I don’t smoke but I was in upstate NY and a guy gave me a $20 to grab him a pack of smokes from a corner store while I was running in to grab a snack, and I thing I got like $1 and change back. I was appalled.

I know a guy who’s initials are MRS, which is funny.

You are an idiot bro. Troll face lends credibility to pedo rings? No.

Or garlic TBH

Like yo, cancer is incredibly productive.

Cancer is incredibly costly to society. Think about it, a single person getting cancer could mean many hours of them being in the hospital. Net zero on productivity

Bro, how could you misunderstand so badly. Cancer is literally uncontrolled cell production in the body. Cancer is highly productive (in the body) but obviously not a good thing to have in your body.

They did in the 90s too. Even in the 80s and 70s locking steering columns were a thing. I never understood the steering wheel locks.

The thing that drives me bonkers is that ounces is both a volume and mass measurement, and they aren’t the same for water.

Ummm… It’s 2/3 cup, and that is a standard measurement. But maybe that wasn’t the best example. Let’s say 2/3 of 1/4 cup. Well that’s 2/12 or 1/6 cup which is far from common. However a cup is 48 tsp, so 1/6 cup is 8 tsp.

I mean it’s dumb as hell but it does work.

The Metric system is easier though.

Ah yes, I’ll have 0.8 metric eggs please.

I posted this elsewhere in this thread but hackers have managed to access data on air gapped computers

Unfortunately nothing is safe from determined hackers. The question is if anyone cares enough to steal your bank’s data

You may think so but hackers have managed to access data on air gapped computers

Oh I forgot, so then this other asshole says the bill is “deader than fried chicken” because we can always just fillibuster it.

We need to get rid of the current fillibuster. Make them stand up there and talk forever. If you want to block something then you have to actually mean it. Oh sorry you have to pee? Get fucked.

And that goes for both parties.

I was listening to the whole thing about Rs protesting against increasing the required ethics to be a supreme court justice and it was just so bizarre.

They were saying that requiring justices to abide by the same code of ethics as congress would destroy the supreme court as we know it. Like… Yes, I know. That’s entirely the point.

I’m not saying it’s right, just that’s their rationale. I literally discussed this with a middle school principal a few days ago and that was what she said.

Regardless of what you think about the policy, the fact is that your kids will have to abide by it.

Fact: if your kid is being bullied, they need to communicate to a person of authority. Answering a bully with violence is the wrong choice 99% of the time. They are usually bigger than you and have backup.

Also usually it doesn’t progress to a fight the very first time, usually it takes weeks, and during this time you would have many opportunities to tell a teacher or something.

Again, not advocating that this is right, but that’s their rationale.
