Funny you mentioned that. I was out with my daughter a couple days ago and she got a flat that had to be replaced. She was legitimately worried that Toyota would void her warranty for not buying a tire from the dealership. Nevermind that we were out in rural nothingness with no Toyota dealership to be found.

Of all hills to die on that ruin your reputation and legacy, why this one? I just don't get it.

I am a gen x cis heterosexual white male.

Transexuality is strange and foreign to me. I don't understand it. This gives me exactly zero right to take any stand against it. I'd say it gives me less right to express an opinion as how could I be knowledgeable on something I've just admitted I don't understand?

Let people live and go enjoy your billions.

There are two kinds of landlords I've encountered over the years.

The first knew my name and would only raise my rent when their insurance and or property tax would increase, and would show me the bills as evidence. There was even a year when my rent got lowered because that year's assessment went down.

The second referred to my living space as a unit and spoke of my rent as below market that needed to catch up.

If you're renting, find the first landlord whenever possible, though it seems to get harder and harder to do so.

I had this argument with my boss and lost. They made all of us take photos that they posted on the company website. I said I'm working pretty hard on making myself invisible and don't appreciate being forced to out myself like this. Tough shit. My name picture and contact info are out there for all to see.

Hello there. I'm a mid twenties man living in current day, working part time in a home improvement store, and I live alone in a ten bedroom apartment in midtown Manhattan with my meticulously groomed pure bred dog, have twelve pack abs, perfectly coiffed hair, and am rewarded with the equally beautiful woman for criminally stalking her throughout the movie and ultimately forcing myself upon her.

Movies are ridiculous. Ridiculous sells tickets or streams or whatever makes movies money these days.

I appreciate this woman subjecting herself as a test case for these draconian laws, but at this point, I'd advise her to take a nice completely unrelated vacation to a west coast state for a while.

Of course, ole Kenny boy will try to prosecute any mode of transportation she would attempt to use at this point.

God I hate this timeline.

These right wing groups have fundamentally altered my perception of the meaning of the word liberty.

I can't see myself headed back to Oregon any time soon, but good. It was so frustrating trying to get gas behind a line of twenty five cars being "served" by a single slack jawed yokel taking smoke breaks between each car and God help you if you needed gas at night when everybody was closed.

New Jersey gas attendants can be surly, but my experiences driving there at least moved the cars through getting gas efficiently.

So we do all realize that advertised jackpots are annuitized amounts and that the vast majority take the net present value lump sum, which is usually about half the advertised amount, right?

Winner probably got about six hundred million, of which roughly forty percent was taken for taxes give or take state income tax rates.

This seems like a good platform. How do I find communities to subscribe to? I've got maybe fifteen showing up as default, but don't know how to dig deeper.
