I used to know someone who drove one almost like this. It was a RAV4 though. He was a swole short stack with bouncy blond curls who was always laughing and flirting and the car fit his personality to a T.

Mine had a fungal infection that caused congestion. The blood test is pricey but worth it to catch it early.

If you're ever feeling too confident in your appearance, go through the Target self check and watch yourself on the screen. I'm a pretty normal looking person, but goddamn.. not at the Target self check. Maybe people steal less when they feel bad about themselves..?

I'm sure most of what they do is great. My only experience with them is a really unfortunate beef they took up with a bakery I worked at. Before they started their theatrics, we had a row of clean bins behind the bakery where expired bread that had been returned from grocery stores was placed before being sold to a pig farm. People could quietly go get what ever they wanted, whenever they wanted. We put them there to be discreet.

So the FNB folks show up and start, like an anti (our bakery) campaign, putting up signs all over the place about how we throw away edible food because the government pays us to(?) and everyone should storm the dumpster area and liberate the bread.

This caused a much less discreet situation (people showing up and screaming at us and the neighbors while filling vehicles with bread that they would then "distribute" to homeless camps and full loaves of packaged bread became a ubiquitous litter item in the area) which of course attracted the attention of the health department who made us move the bins to a secure area and install individual locks on each one (a huge pain in the ass for the workers).

The reason for all the extra bread is another story, to do with grocery stores insisting on planned over buying to maintain "bountiful shelves" and then forcing companies to buy back what didn't sell in the allotted time. Trader Joes having empty bread shelves at the end of the day is a really good thing.

Why is this little shit head continuing to make headlines? Are we that hard up for news? Jesus.

Nice photo though.

🏅 #1 RANKED YELLOW APPLE

The Opal apple looks like it shit itself. I apologize for being uncouth but there is no more apt observation. Just look at the top of it. The Opal apple looks like a jaundiced, freckled, unwiped anus. In fact, this may be the ugliest apple of the modern era. That being said, if you’re going to be an ass, you might as well be a good ass. And like a good ass, the Opal apple is exceptionally sweet and juicy. In fact, the complex flavor profile featuring hints of banana, coconut, and pear make this Czech-born, oddly-named monstrosity a delight to consume. And while the outside may be stained with a toddler’s accident, in an ironic twist, the interior of the apple does not brown for quite some time. So I say, if you’re looking to spice up your life with something a little different, close your eyes and eat ass. Who am I to judge?

BONUS POINTS: +2 Taste

Days before Laundrie killed Petito, police officers pulled them over in Utah after witnesses reported seeing the couple fighting; at least one witness said that they saw Laundrie hit Petito. Police did not interview this witness and instead determined Petito to be the aggressor [...] One of the two officers had a history of allegedly committing domestic violence, including allegations that he threatened to kill his ex-girlfriend when he worked at the police department in another Utah town.

That's not the issue.

Average annual household income in the US in 1980 was $20,020- 42% of a house (average cost of a house in the US in 1980 was actually $47K).

https://www.census.gov/library/publications/1982/demo/p60-132.html

Average annual household income in the US in 2022 was $74,580- or 18% of a $412K house.

I’ve been really enjoying John Scalzi’s catalog- Started with Starter Villain (delightful!), The Kaiju Preservation Society (Sweet..), Lock In + Head On (fun who-done-its), The Android’s Dream (clever, enjoyable read), Agent to the Stars (funny, creative, pretty good).

I’m half way through the first book of Old Man’s War and it’s depressing AF. I don’t see how it’s going to get any more light hearted, given the subject matter. All the aliens are enemies, more battle scenes than anything else, graphic descriptions of war injuries and deaths.. I’m not really compelled to keep going. Can anyone vouch for it being worth it to continue?

Edit: I'm realizing that "better" isn't a good descriptor. I guess what I mean is "Will there be fewer graphic descriptions of injuries and death; as well as general despair on the part of the MC." It is a "good" book by all metrics except "feel-goodiness" and "Not making me queasy at descriptions of faces being blown apart." I'd come to expect a light and clever romp from John Scalzi, and from everyone's replies, he is more varied in his styles than I'd previously been aware.

I'd been half hoping this would all resolve into a lovely, heartwarming story about how the universe was saved by a race of benevolent, highly intelligent cats who tricked everyone into getting along. I tried to go further this morning and am, for now going to set it aside after another scene with an exploding face.

Thanks to all who replied!
