Their own commercials called it RC Cola. Here is one example

bonus ass? I see why you posted it at 2 minutes in.. heck even the cop went for a feel.

that worked?

Don't really love that Congress has become this, but republicans created this crap by electing theatrical dipshits and hoping the other side would stay quiet. I do like how Jasmine called them out for their bullshit, I guess that guy was a B12 Referee.

She wanted to vent to her husband and to share an experience with you so you could be sympathetic to her. In context, you leaving also puts more pressure on her to manage the kids/household without your support and you will likely have limited availability while gone. Alternatively, you could have asked her to pour you both a glass of wine and recognize that she was frustrated and thanked her for the work she puts in for caring for you all, even when it isn't glamorous. Or you could give me her number and I'll pour her a glass of tequila and listen to her frustrations....

He skippered Hitler's catamaran during the war.

no tattoos or gangsta ladies

I could fix her.

Hard for me to give a shit about Russians killed by Russians.

so running to Canada?

So why can't I fucking find my kid's apple watch?

Well, now I know why we lost.....

You may be correct. But I have seen enough anecdotal evidence of incongruent beliefs within this crowd. Hugs the flag, then votes for a wannabe dictator. Talks about freedom, then strips rights away from the population. Talks about following Jesus and embraces Trump. I can go on.

Oh my sweet summer child...

To be fair, my boy reported to me they were teaching inequalities in class last week, in the 7th grade honors program. I guess they want the kids to suck so the BOY scores are as low as possible to game the system? I know another boy who is in Algebra right now, and they dumped him in with the 8th graders, including for lunch. He is already a slightly built kid.

Pretty sure mittens is confused, no need to rage...oh..

Joe Petrovich is a plumber in the GOOF area and is pretty straight up. He is older, butt crack showing guy, talks slow, but does good work, and is straight with you. Won't charge for something he doesn't fix, and hooked me up with the folks at Chelsea, where those guys have an eye for replacement parts if you get into doing your own minor repair work.

Sort of. Previously they had Vanguard, AP, and general education. Vanguard was one of the largest groups of students with something like 2/3rds of the kids from OFE meeting those standards. AP however allowed kids who didn't test high enough to be Vanguard to still take on some more rigor than the gen. ed. kids. Prior to the start of the year, we were informed the school is doing away with Vanguard/AP and rolling them into just Honors. They are still doing GT testing however now children need to qualify in more than one subject in order to be accepted into the program. Tangent #2 I spoke with another mom of a vanguard/honors kid (8th grade) at FBMS and she confirmed some of the useless teachers and administrators, the challenges her kid has which is doing her work in 5 minutes and then fucking off for the rest of the class or having an affable science teacher who basically has the kids teach themselves the material. When we started chatting her fear is that if more involved parents just give the fuck up and leave, it will also create more work for her as she also has a 5th grader this year. Her husband, was ready to pull the ripcord long ago.

To expand on this a little bit more for our brethren, note how they use violent and violent adjacent terms when speaking of Democratic Party officials and voters, how they manipulate their audience with fear of loss, exploit xenophobia, and promote any morally bankrupt huckster as long as they can lie with a straight face. They know their viewers are in a cult. They could tell them that fish taste like apples and their followers will just go along with it out of fear of being out of step from their cultish identity. It is really a fascinating thing to observer as long as we don't consider the consequences. This cultish behavior is how people get manipulated into putting people into ovens. God is such a shitty designer.

Rick Steves was perfect for a PBS tour program. He would be a terrible reality show host, but that isn’t what he set out to do.

That dude is kind of ignorant on the motivations of a business. They are there to make money, not to be a safe haven for creatives to experiment with investors money. Disney made Frozen. They can do good stuff.

So he needs training to not be a power tripping dickhead? Why is he still getting paid?

Welp, I tried. Can you define what a woman is?

borders shouldn't exist, either. You did! Checkmate lib!

You are just not a serious person on here most of the time. There are glimpses when you let your guard down and you actually become a decent poster but most of the time you choose a facade. You know there are not serious people pushing late term abortions. You know the actual wealth distribution charts and how it has changed over the course of our lifetimes where the elites have done extremely well, and the middle class has been hammered and shrunk. And you know the reason for this isn't two cars and flat screens. You jest about open borders, but you know who killed the border bill. Republicans. Because they don't care about the country, more than appealing to their messiah (to borrow from Tahoe Horn). Locally, we see what has been done to our school districts in Texas, and I have shared my experiences on another thread including how we got here with citations when I was trying to understand it more. When you refer to investing in trash, well what are we supposed to do with it? We need sanitation facilities, and we need environmental protections in order to secure clean air-water-soil for people to live on. And there are missteps. MTBE was great for helping to reduce air pollution emissions, but it came with an expense of being very water soluble and contaminating groundwater supplies. But this is why we need scientists and engineers and serious people in charge and not just some fucking attorney or dipshit rich-guy who lacks any background making uninformed decisions. We need expertise, not people whose qualities are they sweat less on TV, are taller, or have better hair/tits than the next candidate. I really hope the trash you are talking about is not Ukraine. People who were attacked and brutalized without provocation by Trump's friend. Who America has decided to support in their efforts to fight back against violent authoritarian regime. Interestingly enough, every past president of our lifetimes would have supported Ukraine. Switching gears to another comment: I never doubted Mitt Romney was a decent person who would investigate issues and find solutions rather than come up with solutions first. He would have been the best republican president of my lifetime had he been elected. But remember Romney voted to impeach Trump and the Cult of Trump took issue with it. Y'all ran off Cheney's daughter. Y'all ran off the serious people of your own party. Y'all elected a man whose cabinet of 'the best people' referred to him as a "fucking moron" or otherwise became residents of the penitentiary. Only you can clean your own house. But this is probably wasted depending on which version of you shows up.
