  1. Because you replied to my comment with that “no capacity to buy anything” comment. Are you developing dementia?
  2. Rural america needs to find their bootstraps, grab ahold of ‘em, and pull ‘em up. They can all eat shit. Zero fucks given about them. The empathy train has left the station.
  3. Eat shit, rural america. You bought this bag of shit. Time for you to feast on it.
  4. Shit. I need to renew my passport. It expires next month.
  5. I put cedar boot trees in all my boots. They’re supposed to absorb the sweat from your feet and keep the leather in better condition. Most of my boot trees are tecovas. I don’t have any tecovas boots though. For my square-ish toe boots, I get rod patrick boot trees.
  6. I appreciate the offer but I’m a corporate drone so I’ve always had company-based health insurance. My cost is like $80 for all my insulin per month. It’s of no concern. My anger with the system stems from my empathy with the single mom whose six year old gets T1D and makes food / insulin decisions based on cost. My endocrinologist has patients that ration their insulin. Most of her patients are old so they’re probably type 2. It’s just infuriating that there’s people in the US that are comprising their insulin intake due to its cost.
  7. This is one of the two types of insulin I take for my type 1 diabetes. This lasts me one month. My endocrinologist told me she has patients that ration their insulin because they can’t afford it. Tell me which lifestyle choice us type 1 diabetics can change so that our pancreas begins creating insulin. My pancreas shut down when I was 17.
  8. That hurricane destruction is easily fixed with a sharpie and a roll of paper towels.
  9. So let me get this straight. When the con camps start filling up in south texas in preparation for the mass deportation, and immigration can’t determine which country the detainees are from, one of dotard’s bright ideas is to deport them to the bahamas. And he’s relying on Herschel to negotiate and execute this plan.
  10. Trump wants to brag about having the tallest building downtown again
  11. UCon
  12. Don’t forget about the praying. There will be lots of praying. Dr. Jesus, MD is on the case.
  13. Cognitive dissonance. Textbook.
  14. This can’t possibly be a thing. I mean I’ve read the company handbook and the policy on kickbacks; they’re strictly forbidden. Right? Right?
  15. The new season of the Real Housewives of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave is gonna be lit
  16. conspiratechplutocracy era It’s a mashup of conspiracy, technology, and plutocracy. It’s intentionally confusing because… well that’s fitting for this Qdiot world where people intentionally disregard facts and choose to believe things because it fits their worldview. Or, their editorial news channel or podcast or social media feed repeated those things enough times that the bullshit became fact. Plus with trump and elron running things, we operate in a plutocracy. or the age of stoopid Intentionally spelled this way because that just describes us better collectively. or the disinformation age

    Pearl Jam

    The wife and I got tickets for their two shows in Seattle last may. I like to get tix before traveling, and I like good seats so I paid a hefty markup for shows 1 and 2 in seattle on stubhub and ticketmaster, respectively. At noon the day of show 1, stubhub notified me via the app that they couldn’t fulfill my order. I was livid because I figured we’d miss the show, and we had dropped over $2k for the show 1 tix. Stubhub auto-refunded me within 30 minutes but I was at lunch with the wife fuming that we were out $2k and would miss the show that we had flown up to see. The 30 minutes between the stubhub notification and the refund were bad. I was not gonna miss the show and bought a tix in a section closer to the stage for around $700 for 2 tix. End result: I got slightly better seats and got +$1300 net. I had bought the night 2 show through ticketmaster, and it didn’t have the high scalper markup. Pearl jam doesn’t let scalpers make their cut. Lesson learned for PJ tix: Buy using ticketmaster. Seat selection is pretty good. Lots of people traveling into seattle from elsewhere were buying tickets the days leading into the show.
  18. Why would someone cut the head off a whale and strap the aforementioned head to the roof of one’s SUV? Why would one dump a roadkill bear in central park after a leisurely day of falconry? It takes a brainworm to understand this level of genius.
  19. I submit a request for a rep thing with @Superhero’s avatar.
