I have sat for nearly 10 minutes while the unbelted person fumed mostly silently

You get one chance to put it on before I pull the car over and put it in park. In this case I turned the car off, pulled out my headphones, and started watching Lord of the Rings on my phone.

The best driver in the world can still get T-boned at an intersection or rear ended at a stop sign. I'm the one driving, you will abide by my safety rules. Take your own vehicle or ride the bus if you don't want a seat belt.

To continue with the argument of "the market will self-regulate and people wouldn't buy that brand anymore so they would never do it again"

Okay but how many people died, how many people are suffering long-term effects, and what's stopping them from adding a different deadly thing to our food?

"or should I say us 🇮🇹"

"Sopranos was my favorite show"

Oof. Imagine saying "roots was my favorite show so it makes sense my great great great grandparent was black"

I follow the proud American tradition my grandfather had of fighting fascism.

If the government of the states decides to be fascist, well...

YOU'RE STEALING OUR TRASH! REEEEEEEEE!

If you clip a healthy plant without asking the owner first, you're a dick. But if I see you do it at a store, no I didn't. Cause the store made $2,550,000 while I was typing this.

........ And?

Why do we give a shit?

Why is this newsworthy?

Are we going to hear about his time working in retail soon? I'm sure it will provide deep insight to find out which store he worked at for 3 months, 8 years ago. clearly that's relevant information.

This implies it's falling on its own.

There should be a mass of red hats trying to push it over.

It's gonna be peak face-eating season during holidays when my parents go to retire during this presidency but find out that they can't because social security doesn't exist anymore, 75% of their paycheck goes to either the military budget or kings tribute tax, and everything has doubled in price.

In my 30s, and while I've heard "let's 86 the _____" numerous times, I honestly wouldn't have connected that to "86 cherries" on an order.

I've worked in food, fast and fancy, and nobody would say "86 cherries" instead of "no cherries". Clarity is conducive to a smoothly flowing kitchen.

I was today years old when I realized that she was talking to Homer Hickam, and I've seen the movie October Sky more times than I can count.

This sounds like something that was made up for a fallout game.

Of course, so does "bombarding myself with xrays and moving around to entertain the audience looking at my bones" and "including uranium in paint to make watch dials glow"
