  1. Haven’t you heard? Computers are terrible at counting. Just ask tucker.
  2. A diversion on what has now become the obesity thread
  3. Sounds like a reasonable guy to do business with. Let us know how it goes.
  4. “I don't like the 'I told you so' from leftists“ Game on. We’re gonna make you choke on that shit.
  5. Charo was on every episode if memory serves. That shimmy is a lasting memory.
  6. If you’re around college age and don’t spend a few weeks backpacking around europe staying in youth hostels, you’re doing it wrong. I took a month off after a break up and met girls from florida, michigan, and mexico city. I’d meet them in hostels. I'd meet girls on the trains between cities, and we’d go stay some place together. We’d tour the city together. Ended up dating the girl from florida that I met at a hostel in london. Youth. Don’t waste it.
  7. I saw this on an episode of fantasy island a million years ago. Came on right after the love boat. Is there any video of a couple of dudes in white suits? One significantly shorter than the other?
  8. Yeah. But you’re just wong. So so wong.
  9. Pre-ACA, being a type 1 diabetic meant you couldn’t buy health insurance as an individual because health insurance companies wouldn’t sell to people with pre-existing conditions. The market collapse and subsequent layoffs of Oct 2008 put a lot of us in a very precarious position with our health. Recently, I was quoted $5000 for one month’s supply of one of the two types of insulin I use while waiting for my new insurance to kick in. America has a lot of meat on the bone to improve healthcare even for standard stuff.

  11. Perhaps you can wear it when you’re not concerned about exhibiting an air of professional gravitas.
  12. For no reason whatsoever SIAP
  13. Once upon a time, I lost my insulin and syringes in paris on my way to cannes when on vacation. I discovered this around dinnertime with a week left on my vacation. I was in trouble. I had no prescription on me. I explained my predicament to the hotel concierge, and they explained how my problem could be resolved. 1. Take a taxi to the hospital. Concierge called the taxi. 2. Taxi dropped me off at the hospital where I explained my situation to a nurse who didn’t speak english, and I didn’t speak french. Someone in the waiting room acted as the translator. Nurse wrote me a prescription without any hassle. Just took my word (translated) for it. 3. A security guy at the hospital called me a taxi to go to the police station. Since it was after hours, the police were the only people authorized to access a pharmacy. 4. I went to the police station and explain my predicament. The cop called the pharmacy and called a taxi for me. 5. Taxi took me to the pharmacy and opened it just for me and sold me my two types of insulin. 6. I walked went to dinner astounded that this entire process took less time than my normal visit to my endocrinologist. Charge for hospital to write me a prescription = $0 Charge for cop to call the pharmacy = $0 charge for pharmacy to sell me my two types of insulin = $10 Anyone complaining about the french model or french service is a fool.
  14. Hey Dan, why don’t you go talk to an oncologist about how many of their patients are using weed to dull the pain from the chemo and maintain their appetite. Republican voters and politicians are irredeemable piece of shit people.
  15. TIL hawk tuah girl has a crypto memecoin Now this is definitely someone who is equipped to give sound financial advice. This bit was pitched during the writing of Idiocracy but was scrapped for being too over the top.
  16. Value of that house significantly increased by Chuy’s art. 1. Remove garage door 2. Sell it at auction 3. profit Code of the streets, bro
  17. Looks like Trump said back in aug that he’d block the merger. Makes sense that xenophobic and maga trump wouldn’t want Japanese and US company merger. Steel workers appear more to be wishcasting and tantrum throwing than a case of LAMF.
  18. Yeah. But they steal all your stuff immediately upon arrival at the bus station
  19. I like to believe the saturdays I spent building houses with habitat for humanity have left a lasting mark
  20. Well yeah. There’s a few brunettes in there.
