Also, if you don't return the cart, the wind very frequently blows it all over the place and into other people's cars. That's not striking back against the man or big corpo, or whatever you want to call it.

Woke 4.0 will be the death penalty for not returning your shopping cart to the corral

Please be black and white Nike Decades. Fingers crossed. IYKYK.

Tom, I literally got this at work when I got promoted recently and they asked me if I wanted a new chair. It's pretty good.

These people are such massive losers, previously unseen levels of "get a fucking life"

Thought I’d slept late this morning but it turns out Big Government changed time overnight.

I like a different spicy argument, Wakanda is bad because it's a monarchy

You have the causation backwards here, imo. If you watch young boys at play, a good majority of them think some level of violence IS fun and based at a a young age. In my experience as a dad and a brother, boys love wrestling, we loved tackle football, we liked playing dodgeball with a volleyball.

A) no one claimed Pro Wrestling was a sport
B) we did not ask you to take it or us seriously
C) calm tf down

Wasn't sure. When I was younger, the latter version used to always give me pause but now that I'm used to seeing it, the former throws me off

I have a completely honest question; why did you go with material versus 'materiel' here, which is what I usually see in these contexts?

Oh man, when I was 17, I got stuck there overnight for a delayed (and then cancelled) flight. And that train was broken. I got many, many steps.

Thank you! I've been fans of Yglesias and the pod save guys at various times, and I still listen to them or read Yglesias sometimes, but I've worked in blue collar jobs entire life and have never seen a dude with a Nazi tattoo. It's just not a common thing. It's a weird thing.

If you've ever had a Greek landlord, this sounds about right.

I kid! Sorta.

To be fair, he said it couldn't be done, he didn't say you couldn't *try*

What a fucking joke. This guy read the loading screens on Modern Warfare 2 and was like, "Oooh, gotta get me some of that"
