Was gonna say, dude has no hair; his body is just a rectangle. Headbanging, I’ll give it a maybe.

My kids are young and so it’s just a given they’re going to smudge my shit. One day…

Publicly shun people. You’re a rule breaker? You’ve been shunned by society and people who associate with you will be known associates of the shunned.

I’m in Jersey (New), and while we attended Catholic services, we weren’t exactly religious, and nor were my neighbors and the town in general. Perhaps it was regional. I have heard of this, just didn’t experience it. My parents also let a little bit of Satan into their lives sometimes too, as anyone who was in their 20s in the '80s did.

That blows, because we’re similar age, I’m born in '87, and I look back fondly at the freedom I had as a kid. It’s a bit how I intend to model my parenting around, although it’s hard to escape modern times in my mind sometimes. But my kids will wander around the neighborhood alone (in a couple of years, still too young), get dirty, stay out til the sun goes down, that kind of thing, with the caveat of not bothering people and their properties. Probably easier said than done on my part, we shall see.

There was just some assumption that the knowledge was somehow inherent, like the RF from cellphones entered the womb and taught them how to troubleshoot their PC.

I may have missed it in this article, though I believe I read elsewhere, that she got busted down one rank and that’s it. I know military in general is having retention and recruitment issues, but to me this is more than just a busting down offense. That the senior enlisted on a ship would so nonchalantly disregard OPSEC demonstrates either a clear lack of understanding, or worse, something more nefarious.

We saw a naval officer relieved of command for having the scope backwards on his rifle. This, to me, rises to a much higher level.

It’s the Goldilocks of atars, just right.

This thread has me questioning my propensity for empathy. I never for a minute imagined, outside of folks with medical issues, that it was a problem. This has me interested. If I were a scientist and not just some guy, I’d study it.

As a kid, I had difficulty, as kids tend to. One day, as others have mentioned, it clicked, and sometimes I have several pills in there at once; e.g., Mucinex 12h, two Sudafed, two ibuprofen is a common combination on the rare occasion I’m sick.

As a kid, I recall practicing on Kraft Deluxe Mac n cheese, swallowing without chewing, and I think, from there, it just kind of developed. So load up on Kraft Deluxe, folks, cheese up that esophagus.

And these goddamn pharma companies putting binders and shit in so you can’t medically boof em.

Why fly a kite when you can just pop a pill?

For some reason, none of that registered. I’m just used to knowing the format, I guess. I’ll do better next time.

You’re in luck then, debts don’t transfer!!

For real. And nothing against them, but they weren’t exactly in a position to be hoarding possessions. They left me memories and recipes, and that’s good enough.

40 degrees is ridiculous. Steep slopes, people! NJ is pretty strict about that shit, although Alpine does what they want (because money, as I’m sure you can attest). People on top of hill don’t care about the impacts of erosion and groundwater at the bottom of the hill.

Most important part would be talking about it as often as possible, a la CrossFit or veganism.

I went from agreeing with the headline to fuck this guy real quick. I admittedly had never heard of Nothing, because it’s a stupid name, and so this decision is par for the course it seems. Just add another name to the Chop List.

Sometimes I pronounced Dominos Doe-ME-Noes, to make it sound Italian.

I’ll actually use ShopRite in a pinch. I just know they’re slicing up fresh ingredients there. Anywhere that opens up a container and pulls out meat is a no go for me. But we are spoiled here in the greatest goddamn state on the world, our taxes getting us fresh meats and soft breads with flaky crusts, and a peach iced tea.

I didn’t have a lot of sense when I was younger, but I had enough to not get a bike. I liked vroom vroom very much. I now drive 2018 Legacy, as befits my dad status.
