Can’t fool me, I saw that post about re-charging your cat from a plasma globe…

Hah! Just as I suspected, you all only call your sport (also played on a field) “football” when Americans are listening in order to mess with us.

(/j, of course)

So then why do we have the idiom, “dead cat bounce”? Seems this would only work until the cat dies. (Entropy is a bastard.)

The account over 2 years old, and just became active recently, so it’s unlikely. There was another user who seemed to take personal affront to violet08, and it’s more likely to be him based on how over-the-top that account’s posts are.

I used to date a woman who’s a month older than me. She used to joke about robbing the cradle. Too bad I’m not as clever as the Futurama writers, or I would’ve insisted instead that I was robbing the grave.

Don’t forget about their emotional support vehicles, for which they need cheap oil.

At least it’s better than when they cast Paul Bettany as Maturin in that movie opposite Russell Crowe. He’s not even a turtle, he just studied them.

Cars.

(And by “logical” I mean the thing that overwhelmingly poses the greatest danger to my well-being.)

Not wolves in Pennsylvania. Coyotes, almost certainly.

The six-packs of bottles sold in grocery stores have been 500mL for years. Probably somebody filled the machine with them. (The label should say, “Not Labelled for Individual Sale” near the barcode, if so.)

Thank Thomas Jefferson for that brain damage. It has a lot to do with why most of our topsoil is now in the Gulf of Mexico.

I’d be happy, too, if I didn’t have to wear pants.

Right proper shitpost here. Imma start forking ASAP.

Thanks for the excellent reply. I don’t exactly agree, but I love that it’s logical, clear, and respectful.

The crying woman is close enough to the design of a monument in the cemetery near my house that I’m pretty sure that he’s stealing her dead baby, which, given Jesus’ close association with Israel, is right on brand.

They allegedly did a study to see whether there was enough traffic, a step which requires a certain commitment of resources. If the placement of a stop sign would’ve harmed safety by displacing traffic flow, then they could’ve cited that without spending time on a study. But they didn’t, from which we can conclude that a stop sign is okay there.

It may be a science, but that doesn’t place it in some rarefied air of infallibility, any more than any other science. It’s only ever as good as how it’s applied, and how any science is applied is always subject to human fallibility. Traffic engineering is especially bad in that respect, routinely and as a matter of course being subverted by political considerations, not least by the fundamental choices about who and what matters, and who and what does not matter. It does not deserve much respect as a practice.

But with that said, in this case, even the traffic engineers agreed that a stop sign was an appropriate treatment for this intersection when they rejected it on the basis that the traffic volume wasn’t high enough to warrant installing one. Presumably, if there were more cars, it would be fine. So, yes, we can say confidently that this man made the area safer.

It’s also a shiny bauble to dangle in front of the demented puppet who’s the face of this regime, in order to keep him distracted.

They still don’t have color photography in Europe?
