Yeah, I don't have complex taxes but I still pay to have them done each year simply because I'm afraid of making a mistake and ending up in jail. :laugh:
There was a dude in Texas that was recently acquitted for shooting a guy that was pranking him for some obnoxious video. The whole thing was recorded and the shooter claimed self defense and the jury somehow agreed. Well, maybe not "agreed" as much as that those YouTube pranksters are so...
Yeah, in my mind, "breaking news" is if it happened within the last 60 minutes. I get that the news wants to catch people's attention at all times and the nightly news is only at a set time but the rules should be that "breaking news" is something that actually just happened/info that just came out.
I'm not bothered by the phrase but I am bothered by how much I hear it. For me, it was amusing a few times but when I see it three times a day on social media, it's just overused and that makes it unfunny.
If it was up to me, the people that do that would be thrown in jail for 100 years. Maybe that's a little harsh but I hate when I see that happen. :laugh:
Because they don't want to create a break where you could stop watching their service endlessly since the longer you watch, the higher their viewing numbers are.
For me, that falls into the category of it being amusing the first few times I heard it but then it just got used to death. When a joke is being used in corporate commercials, it's officially dead.
It's a smoke and mirrors defense. They're trying to make it that you're not attacking their dumb or offensive or wrong or abrasive presentation of an idea, you're attacking free speech. It's a lazy but effective way to defend their position because it fools stupid people into thinking that...
I spent years hearing "You've never seen The Shawshank Redemption?! You have to see it!" and when I finally did, I thought it was a decent enough movie but I just laugh that it's even on the IMDB's Top 250- let alone at the top of the list. Frank Darabont did get a bunch of really great...
It's probably because my parents drilled into my brain that littering was awful but I don't think I even littered a gum wrapper as a typically rude teenager. The most I've ever do is dump the contents of a cup in a parking lot because I didn't want it anymore (and I keep the cup in my car or put...
I don't have or want any tattoos but more power to the people that do get them. They certainly don't need anyone's permission to get them or judgment when they do.
I live in the Philadelphia suburbs and near as I can tell, it looks like the problem is the Philadelphia shipping hub. Nothing is coming in to there and items are taking days (instead of hours) to leave there so everything is just in shipping limbo.
That's not to single out Philadelphia because...
I've got 13 packages coming to me or coming from me via USPS and all 13 of them are late by multiple days and some are now over a week late. I know there's a pandemic, holiday backlog and USPS self-sabotage so I'm sympathetic to the situation but I think when 13 packages are very late, I'm well...
I think it is in my state (PA) but I always thought it was curb vandalism. Although I'm sure they want stop huffing too so it's probably a two-for.
Semi-related: Last year, I bought either cough syrup or sudafed and they swiped my license but I assumed that was so I don't buy tons of it to...
Not turn things into anti-drug PSA but I've seen footage of people huffing and it's legitimately disturbing. I've seen other people whacked out on all kinds of things and it often looks like they're having a good time but people huffing has always looked frightening to me.
Yeah, I'd prefer they didn't pretend like they care. They just say "in these trying times" so it doesn't seem completely crass that they're still trying to get you to buy a Lexus.
