Obviously with your ingenuity and all that you contribute to the sewage system, your deserve to be payed equal to the CEO of your company, especially for all the long breaks and lack of interest you bring to the work force every day.
I'm willing to bet he isn't. Most priests who engage in same sex acts with underage kids (for example) are not gay and have never wanted any kind of adult gay relationship. I only point this out because people think that priests = gay. Most same-sex pedophiles aren't gay and have no desire for normal adult gay relationships at all.
I think they should provide a pack of free sharpies with every walking cast. Well it's the holidays - go nuts with a whole Currier and Ives yuletide mural kind of thing.
Futuristic cheese graters will be anti-gravity, and so will toasters. You'll really have a hard time keeping your breakfast and lunch down in the world of the future.
I watch those upcoming trailers on Youtube, and I'm sure it's just me, but - it always seems like the movies are going to be stupid. For one thing, I'm in the minority, I don't watch Marvel movies or care about superheros, so there goes 99 percent of the movies' appeal for me. But also - I HATE the blue veneer over movies today - like they were all shot with a dark blue lens so everything is a uniform gray color, no skin tones, no sky tones, no color to the trees. I realize that's probably because digitally shot movies look that way, but it's quite unpleasant and ugly.
I wondered about that. When I was a film major in college (way back in 80s) we were using 16 mm cameras and actual film, and to correct for daylight (which has a lot of blue in it) we had to use an orange filter over the lens to make the colors more natural. So I'm sure there are ways to correct for the blueness in digitally shot movies. I just wish they'd use it!
Like the movie "Napoleon" that just came out. There's no way I'll watch it just because I hate that blue/grey aesthetic so much, it bleeds so much life out of things and leaves skin tones grey and skies always looking overcast. It's like being in a freezing cold place for two hours. No thanks!
I have come across a lot’s of people like these. like 99% of them. Sometimes it makes me think twice if what i am saying is wrong? What’s wrong with them. Is it so hard to swallow your pride and acknowledge that the other person is speaking facts? When they come to know they are wrong they proceed to insult/make fun of...
That's also true. How can you not be defensive when someone's reply starts with, "listen here you stupid dumbfuck....." Of course that kind of name calling is going to result in a verbal fight. I don't know why we can't just say, "OK I disagree but here's why, and I hope you'll appreciate my feedback." Do we have to resort to calling each other juvenile names? A person isn't stupid just because they have a controversial point of view.
Yeah I wasn't sure if I just missed something (with my slow internet it's entirely possible). Was she playing with legos at the time? Foolish woman - everyone knows that's illegal if you're over 99 years of age.
What I don't get is how "legos" figure into this story. It says she was playing along with the whole thing and the police arrested her for supposedly indecent exposure, but it makes no mention of legos??
You can get all the iron you need from vegetables and certain meat or even taking supplements. There's no need to go about eating rusty metal. In fact, my doctor has advised me not to eat nails. I have to trust what he says, he's printed out several impressive medical degrees.
Huh. So there IS some reason to think cooking in iron pots will increase levels of iron in your blood. Interesting! I know metal can leach out of cooking vessels and into food, so that's not too surprising. Thanks for the information!
My childhood in the 60s and 70s was idyllic, I have to admit - growing up on a private reserve with mountains all around and having woods around to play and get lost in. I loved it all - but even then I knew about the conflicts going on and how unhappy most adults seemed.
That's about it. I'm white and male and I'm here to tell you, there never was a 'good old days' unless you mean a time when white men could get away with raping and killing a young kid like Emmett Till and could butcher their families and get away with it.
That's true enough. I started working around the time computers were even a thing - back in the 70s and there was no internet, just basic DOS green screens that were very basic. It wasn't until the mid-90s I even had a computer that had rudimentary internet access - and it was so new, there was only maybe a handful of websites you could find.
There were no cookies or trackers to watch what you were doing online, but then again, there wasn't anything much to look at anyway - porn wasn't even there yet.
So I feel we definitely have it both better and worse today. To me, the better outweights the negatives - I mean it's so much nicer today to just be able to search anything and get a million different answers. But that's also the downfall of everyone being interconnected - being buried in bullshit much of the time.
I've been around since 1959, and back then people were up in arms about the partisan divide in this country and the Vietnam conflict and the oppression of black and other races. Back then, domestic abuse was sort of commonplace, no man could be sent to jail for beating up his kids or his wife. Alcoholism was rampant back then, and drug abuse shot up dramatically. Since then, I've seen so much of the same play out over and over. Things have changed somewhat for the better in some ways, but to be honest - there never was a 'good old time' when everyone felt happy and equal and safe and protected.
There is only one way that humanity will finally end - and yes, it will be by nuclear war. And it's not very far off at all. There is no other way that the fate of humanity can go. There is such a lack of human compassion and empathy and such a desire to cause hurt, it's just a matter of hours. So don't think it won't happen. There's no other possible outcome for us at this point, none whatsoever (unless an asteroid demolishes us first, that is).

An article about how a priest was discovered using gay apps (telefoncek.si)
The priest’s data has been obtained from commercially available databases...
I am in one of those walking boot cast things for the foreseeable future. I bought sharpies to decorate it so it isn't as terrible. How should I decorate it?
I’ll probably be in the boot until at least February. It has to be work appropriate because I’ll be back at the office part time starting next month

Can licking an iron bar get you the daily recommended amount of iron?
How many licks would it take? Can the iron in bars even be processed by the body? Can you do this for other minerals?
