I thought the same thing, and fell asleep standing up at the expo line at Applebee's.

Get what sleep you can. Trust me.

I imagine that since there are so many examples of characters with large heads throughout art, especially cartoons, it considers oversized head an acceptable variable to play with. The more realistic the art form, the less variation you see, but there are still big headed realistic drawings and paintings.

My kids and I lose things. Digital is a blessing for us.

Since she's the VP, it doesn't feel dirty. Joe stepped down, she steps up, that's what we hired her to do.

I just hope it's enough.

Oh fuck.

Trump won PA by half a percent.

Stein got .8% of the votes.

Stein, the DNC, and 50 thousand people just like me, literally handed him the presidency.

I'm SO sorry, everybody.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret. I voted for Jill Stein in 2016.

In my defense, I didn't think Trump had a chance, and I definitely didn't expect him to be as terrible as he eventually proved. I was feeling salty about the DNC not giving Bernie a fair chance in the primaries (how and why, I don't remember) and Hilary just felt like she was constantly condescending and not even trying to earn the presidency. It felt like someone decided it was her turn and they'd just slide her into her rightful throne.

My vote for the green party was official record that they hadn't earned my vote, even though I would never vote for Trump.

I'm sure my one single vote wouldn't have changed anything, but I bet there are plenty of others that felt the and did the same, and still regret it.

I appreciate that.

But seriously, what kind of a dipshit would get the toe and still keep the woman?

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 10 points 12 hours ago

This is the best sentence I've heard all day. 😂 Much appreciated!

You want a toe? I can get you a toe. Any color nail polish you want.

You're not wrong. There were times I felt pretty dirty doing what they asked of me in order to close more sales. I worked with some decent people who cared more about the customer's needs, and some shitty ones that cared more about that commission check.

This guy was a real asshole on top of it all, and he was trying to pull it off on my watch, so, no regrets on shutting him down. I'm sure he's still pulling similar shit at other stores.

It was the rare occasion of someone being so stupid that they accidentally started their own cell phone scam.

This guy could not decide on what phone he wanted. He had two plans with all of his relatives on them. Whenever someone became eligible for a contract renewal, he would buy himself a phone and give his old one to one of those relatives. He also was very picky, and would try to return his phones for dumb reasons like "I haven't turned my phone off since I got it, and now it's running slow."

He would hop between different stores and customer service to get warranty replacements for his older phones, and exchanges for new ones, and because he was passing phones between accounts, a phone that he had for a year, would look like it was just bought a few days ago, so he would be offered a brand new one, or the option to try another model. When he came into my store complaining, something didn't seem right, so I spent an entire day researching where all his phones came from and where they went. I discovered that for years, he was costing us thousands of dollars burning through brand new phones and requesting credits for his inconvenience.

The last time we told him that we couldn't help him, he said he'd never come back, we thanked him.

I don't have your answer, but I'd like to add to the question.

You specified "nutrients", but what about the other crap in what we eat?

IF the coffee DOES push everything out before you can absorb every nutrient, is it also preventing us from absorbing all the sugars, calories, preservatives, micro plastics and whatever else we might not want?

Might be a "yes, but" situation that evens out in the end. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I don't know, I'm just throwing out ideas.

 

It only took me two weekends to get through the whole thing, and now that it's over. Wow!

It resembles Slay the Spire, where you choose your path, and collect cards and powers, but the matches are more like puzzles. Your opponent creates scenarios and how you pay your cards determines if you move on or perish.

Now a big reason why I loved this game is the weird shit that happens, and weird shit isn't fun when you know it's coming, so that's all I'm going to say about that.

If you like puzzles or cards games or a story that makes you say WHAT THE FUCK?!? start downloading it now, it's free on Gamepass!

 

Corporate America has programmed people to HUSTLE! BE THE BEST! ACHIEVE! MAKE MORE MONEY!!! for so long that they now need to pay someone to come and teach us how to relax, enjoy the moment and be happy again.

 

I was relieved to see there were no bids on the Nazi trash.

I wonder if there's some guy out there that collects little metal cars who really wants to bid, but doesn't want to be the guy who bought the Nazi coin.

 

I've been invited to attend a Tim Walz rally tonight, and I have no idea what to expect. Share your stories and get me pumped up to see our next VP!

Update: Everybody was right, lots of standing and clapping, but what I really didn't expect was the sense of family I felt with all these strangers around me. We'd bump into each other, and laugh it off, one guy was telling me about how his son was thinking about going to the college that I work at (I was still wearing my shirt from work), and we all just knew that we were working together to make great things happen. I'll probably skip the next one, but it was a great experience. I'm glad I went, and would recommend going to one if you have a chance, and a candidate you believe in.

 

Make-up and KISS!

 

This one's for JusticeforPorygon!

 

Imagine apartments built into what used to be department stores, (Oh, you're JC Penny 203? I'm at Sears 106). Get those old arcades up and running. Set up meal stations at the food court. Once people actually live there, stores will start to move back in.

If I'm unable to finish my life in my own home, that doesn't sound like a terrible option.

 

My kids and I watched the first two episodes last night, and I'm impressed. It feels like Fallout. I like the characters so far, and they squeeze in enough game references to keep my brain spiking with recognition.

We set the bar pretty low on video game adaptations, but I feel this one's doing alright so far!

What does everyone else think? (Let's keep spoilers to a minimum. Most of us probably weren't able to watch the whole thing in one night.)
