This was a movie that I'd seen one day and promptly forgot the name of it. I tried in vain to find out years later. I asked my mom and she had no idea what I was talking about. I asked everyone and no one even knew. I was convinced it was a fever dream or something.

Until I heard Tech N9ne's Everybody Move and he said "Falling Down like Michael Douglas" and it was a core memory unlocked and I finally got to watch it again.

It was every bit as good as I remember.

Is that why I see all those "I have too many ThinkPads, I just bought three more." Posts, or is that just what part of the Internet I'm hanging out in?

A lot of prior military folks will use males and females just because that's how it's been drilled into them. Male and female latrines, not men and women's bathrooms. Male and female barracks, not men and women's dorms. Male and female standards, etc etc.

I have shorts, made by a company Pistol Lake that's unfortunately no longer in business, that has a phone pocket inside the pocket with a snap closure.

Now, one, it perfectly fits my G100 and, two, the rest of the pocket is gigantic. Like, full size Nintendo Switch in there with wiggle room but my phone doesn't move.

So, this may be silly but, see a tailor about adding a pocket if your clothes are baggy enough for it.

The Zero Suit is looking pretty baggy in this picture for some reason.

Plus, he had "concept of a plan" in his front pocket. He had that think ready. If nothing else, his debate prep got that in his head.

I've watched that movie too many times. I was about to comment "The line is supposed to be 'Tommy' since he's talking to Tommy, The Tit"... Oh wait, it says Donny because Trump... Yeah.

It says there's a single speed and a ten speed variant.

Every American has to do one season of farm work but all food is now free. Monkey's paw curls and all that.

Farmers can't just have free labor and still get all the profits.

Saying the words "Break dancing" and "she creates her own moves [as why she failed]", to me, proves there's zero need for that to be an Olympic sport.

I've always kind of detested 'judged' sports, not the sports themselves but the idea of judging creative expression on a scale. Like, "We, the panel, have decreed that your moves were not funky fresh. Pop and lock your way to the locker room please."

I said all these things to my partner when I saw the ad as well.

I've spent more time helping my kid write Steam reviews of the games they're playing than this Dad did on writing a letter to his daughter's hero.

Simple as. Don't be surprised when the kid puts you in a crappy home to afford more Gemini credit or whatever.

If you have a society where everyone is allowed a gun, you as a gun owner cannot feel threatened by someone else holding a firearm. As an Army Sergeant, the fact that he can't handle seeing someone else's weapon without getting scared probably means his file contains more than a few waivers.
