When we moved to Florida, my friend’s new kid was stumbling around learning to walk in a playpen. Fast forward, “Who the fuck is this 6’-tall monstrosity?!”
His older brother was 5 when I met him. Fast forward, “So, uh, you’re some kind of full-grown man now, somehow?”
Got my kids for Christmas today. My 12-yo daughter, 13 next month, is taller than my wife. I, uh, wut?
The pressure is an issue, but the CO2 levels on Mars are insane. Forget the cold and near-vacuum, we’d be choking out on a single breath of that poison.
I’m guessing CO2 uptake would be nada while the plant boils out it’s H2O?
An unforgiving bitch.
Been loving the new colors! Yeah, they’re toned down, not Hot Wheels colors, but I’m into the new grey-blues and grey-greens, never seen those before.
Only one I’m not into is the green-yellow, uh, things, I’ve seen. We have a tiny Florida spider that exact color and it makes me think of an arachnid. (I’m fine with spiders, just not cars colored like the freaky ones.)
I’m white and OP has hella privilege if they’ve never been concerned about cops targeting them. They were all over my ass in the 90s for having long hair and driving beaters. They’d lock on and follow until they had an excuse.
Curious how old you are, because until this century, a car with 100,000 on the odometer was considered a piece of crap no one in their right mind would buy. Powertrain warranties of 50,000 were pretty nice in the 90s and when 100,000 came out people were astounded. 3 years/36K was standard warranty for everything else.

This is going to kick off a major war if the US keeps going.
Greenland is the hottest spot of real estate on the planet. Lots of idiot voters deny global warming, but the powers that be know. A thawed Greenland offers major mineral extraction and will guard the soon-to-be open Arctic waters. There’s probably much more I’m ignorant of, but “~Fifteen million dollars~ Greenland is not money. It’s a motive with a universal adaptor on it.”
Yes, Trump’s a dumbass, was so even before the dementia got hold. Yes, he’s looking at a Mercator projection and thinking, “That’s a lot of land!” But there are people behind the scenes driving this goal or the administration would have dropped it by now.
Think Europe will simply stand by? (Well, maybe, they don’t seem to be doing what needs done vis-a-vis Russia and the Ukraine War.) What if Europe does nothing? The US will take Canada next, that’s what.
Not being funny, but I never thought I’d wish for a military coup in my own country.
I’m in the same exact boat, but I do miss movie hype and trailers. It was a sort of marketing I didn’t mind at all. 20-years ago I’d go to Apple trailers and see what was going on. Now I’m clueless. The article reminded me of quite a few movies I need to download.
I only knew about Longlegs and Weapons because I saw a bit of hype on lemmy. Who knows what I’m missing? Forgot about One Battle After Another, but I really want to see it. Marty Supreme might be pretty cool, but the ads never made it to my face.
That sounds like a good thing, but again, I didn’t mind movie marketing. It’s just that we’re so fucking inundated with ads that people like you and I turned it all off. Sad state of affairs.
We don’t get to choose who and what we are attracted to. 🤷🏻♂️ However, that does not absolve one of immoral actions.
“Unify” was the product line I was forgetting.
Pretty much what I gathered. Still haven’t heard Chappelle say anything awful, and you’ll note not a soul has replied with actual words from the man.
It belonged to my ex and I and King Soloman gave us a custody choice. 🤷🏻♂️
I’m GenX. Seems the elder Millennials and us are basically on the same page culturally.
Now that you mention it, I can’t think of any sort of proprietary tape. They were either standard or small.
Maybe there’s something worse out there, but his trans jokes I’ve seen are far from hateful. When Chappelle first got flak over this I was afraid the jokes would be flat out evil. They could hardly be more mild.
Can anyone point to a particular joke that’s tearing trans people down? I don’t mean poking fun, I want to see the hate you all accuse him of.
Only manufacturer driver I install is Logitech’s software for their solar keyboard, though it’s not needed. Only driver you really have to install is Logitech’s “shared dongle” tech, forget what it’s called.
I am in this exact situation. Very little idea what’s under the tree.
Similar story, but I was the guy. Kinda.
Broke up with my gf (both about 50-yo) who lived across the street. (Dumb situation, I KNOW.) We were still fuck buddies. Our friend down the street was having a Christmas party. Told her we’d go as a date, just for the night.
Friend had a couple of young girls over no one knew, but he was, most literally, banging one in his bedroom. Flesh smacking, spanking, walls shaking, all that. Yikes.
My girl was out back talking to a mutual friend. The 20-something girl whose friend was getting banged was mad jealous of her friend getting laid, so she was hitting on me. I was looking sharp, wearing a tux, all that. (Picture for reference, not that night.)
My god. It took ALL my willpower to fight her off.
“I’m sorry, but I agreed to be with my friend tonight and I’m not going to hurt her.”
<grabs me and sticks her tongue in my mouth>
Heaven
“I’m not going to hurt her like this.”
She smelled and tasted like life itself. I now know what melange is. I could see through time.
“I can’t do this. Maybe another night?”
<grabs me, kisses me>
Rinse and repeat for 30 minutes.
Anyway, my ex and I went home and had freaky, tied-up-in-heels-and-fishnet sex. Very memorable. But I’d still kill or die for that 20-something girl. She gave me her number, blew me off the next day. Fine. :(
Anyway, after all the drama my ex caused me a month later, I should have fucked the other girl.
Anyway, I still have some little faith in my moral strength.
Anyway, still mad.
How is life like being a lawful good little paladin? I break rules that don’t apply to me. This guy seems to have broken rules that apply to no one.
You’re the guy saying the victim should have complied with the cop that murdered him.
