Interesting, thanks for sharing. I thought it was just a fashion/culture thing.

Meeting someone online is and has been “normal circumstances” for some years now.

Sounds more like someone who is mentally disabled to me, but it’s hard to tell.

My friends’ cats use theirs. I think they started getting them to by luring them with treats.

Sometimes a little too smart.

A puppy, and no, even though she did die of cancer right after she turned two. She was my joy.

One of the lessons of the old AOL era is that people will subscribe to a thing and then just forget they have it.

Gyms started taking advantage of this before AOL was a thing.

McDonald’s has been seeing a decrease in customers due to their prices.

Fewer customers at a lower price seems safer; you lose one, no big deal, you don’t lose half of your revenue stream.

That’s a big part of it, but some people are just loud and some restaurants just play their music way too loud all the time.

My experience in American restaurants is that the music is usually whatever is currently popular, so there’s a lot of hip hop and pop songs about dancing and fucking.

As a person with digestive problems that lead to hemorrhoids, this one in particular feels like a big fuck you.

I suspect these are not as famous as you think. Also, the formatting of your post is not as reader-friendly as it could be.

Drink a bunch of water (as in, as much as you can stomach or up to 32 oz or so) about an hour beforehand and you will really need to pee.

This is what is required when a pelvic ultrasound is performed so that you have a full bladder at first but also need to pee so that you can then be imaged with an empty bladder.

My first thought was, “They what? They stole protestors? Meaning kidnapped? But that’s not how it’s spelled…”

Also, if you can and can do so without overspending, this is why it’s best to use a credit card for all purchases rather than cash or debit. Can’t do a chargeback if you didn’t use a credit card.

My experience with System 76 a few years ago was similar. Perhaps the single worst purchase of my life. I had to send it back to them to fix the fucked up hardware (it had a loose power socket and a bad motherboard) more than once and each “repair” took months. The first time they sent it back, nothing had been fixed. It was more than half a year before the fancy laptop I got from them was in any way usable.

I’m essentially the same but with more wisdom/experience, less anxiety, and worse health.

If I learned this after I had booked, I would be expecting a refund as well as compensation for missing the conference if I couldn’t find alternative accommodation.

Property taxes are the base funding for numerous local government services, including sewers, water, roads, jails, deputies, school building construction and teacher salaries — “pretty much the most basic of government,” said North Dakota Association of Counties Executive Director Aaron Birst.

I guess if that’s really what they want to defund, then go for it, but don’t expect any federal dollars.
