Take that, Johnny Lawrence!

I minimize plastics use, recycle anything that can be, reuse/renew whenever possible, minimize all use of products dangerous to the environment/ecosystems, educate myself on the issues and candidates and then vote in every election, volunteer for political campaigns, I educate my children about the environment (including what we do to minimize our impact and why it's a problem at all) and politics (including the importance of voting, how to research candidates and issues). Yes, there is more I could do, but I think I do a pretty good amount--far above the average. My kids won't blame me, even if the memes blame my generation.

I wouldn't go out of my way to make older generations feel bad because that isn't solving anything, but I would educate them so that maybe their votes will be better going forward.

Yeah, I saw a thing that Meidas Touch was sharing that said there were no talks, even through intermediaries.

I enjoyed one of the Sonics. It was probably just the first one, but it's hard to remember. I really enjoyed Shining Force, Super Columns, and Strike Force.

I'll take that.

First graders are about 50 lbs. Pre-K and Kindergarteners would work better for this. Too much weight and you're going to lose power on the swing.

I tend to agree. Whether you support him for or in spite of his misogyny, homophobia, racism, xenophobia, etc., you definitely know what kind of policies he's trying to implement. If you knowingly support that, you're a bad person.

It could just be an audience problem. Teenagers have a whole lingo I am not privy to. Does that mean they are wrong? I probably know more words than the average teenager. Does that mean I'm using them wrong? A lack of knowledge from one party or both can lead to miscommunication. That doesn't automatically mean someone is wrong. I used to use the term POS in the early days of my Internet use. It meant parent over shoulder so that my friends knew why if I was acting differently all of a sudden. My parents thought I was calling them a piece of shit or referencing point of sale. The former was just funny and the latter was a bit silly. They figured they were just missing something, but it didn't mean they were using POS wrong. They just lacked the knowledge on one use for a different age group.

Other than them dropping plots that felt unfinished, yes. We really liked it.

I don't find cocksucking an offensive activity. In fact, that is an activity that I value highly. Beyond that, it has been and continues to be a pejorative referencing gay men, whether you meant it that way or not, and I think we need to phase out that phrase as a pejorative. I say all hail the cocksuckers and to the guillotine with the incompetent, greedy hacks.

"5 billion paper units."

"Paper units?"

"Pieces of paper, ma'am."

I don't know the number of people, but it's not a huge city. My point wasn't how many my city has, it was the distributed part that might be helpful. I'm not saying they need 10+ different places like my city, but 2-4 places might work out better for them--I don't know.

My city also is not ready for battle with the Borg or prepared to take on alien pathogens. Their needs are clearly different.

 

I've seen others recently, but the two I saw today are a Capital One commercial and a Progressive commercial.

In the first, the Capital One guy is talking to a couple of people. He is asked what he does for fun, and he does not know what to say. Then, they cut to him getting ready to sleep at the bank.

Another is the Progressive commercial where Flo talks with another woman about vacations. The other woman doesn't seem to know what a vacation is. Flo begins describing what one is. In the end, she says she doesn't really know, gives up, and says she's never been on one either.

I was thinking about them while driving and came to the title thought.
