I would like to see the characters in a fantasy setting walk into a bar and try to order and the bartender sighs and says "species and age?" while pulling out a massive book containing the drinking age for every type of species capable of purchasing alcohol.

The most tiring thing about Adulting to me is how constant it is. There is always some shit just sort out. You chilling means you're probably just ignoring the million things on your to-do list.

NOT QUITE RIGHT


I told my wife that it was probably time to change the baking soda in the fridge.

My nephew is a psychiatrist and when he orders someone restrained in a straight jacket he calls it being "shrink-wrapped".

Many people think things slow down and get boring as you get older but I woke up this morning without backache and I'm still buzzing with excitement.

I never realized I was supposed to know how to do everything by my second rodeo. That's still a very low number of rodeos.

I'm not too good at push-ups or sit-ups but fuck ups? Let me tell you.

I have a whole closetful of boxes like that.

The heaviest hailstone ever recorded fell in Bangladesh in 1986, weighing 2.25lbs.

I wonder how many people recognize why that is humorous.

What scared me at 8:

The symbol for women's bathrooms of a woman in a skirt is outdated and should be replaced by a stick figure of a person ordering next-day delivery on her phone.

In the 1960s Bitburg AFB in Germany had fake athletic fields (very similar to the one above), roads, and even a control tower made of canvas-covered scaffolding to confuse Russian attackers.

Petroglyphs in the Navajo Preserve, Arizona. The petroglyphs made by the Hopi Indians date back to the 13th century.

In this day and age do they dare leave that unprotected?

If you think that a bit harsh, read these words of wisdom...

No nails were used in the construction of this 100-year-old Japanese house, now being disassembled for removal.

Only makes sense to someone who never did an introductory economics course.

Ralph Henry said...

Dear Gunder, Please elaborate. Share your knowledge with the ignorant masses...PLEASE. Remember, the question at hand is how can a corporation legitimately blame sky-high prices on inflation and yet have record profits.

Ralph,
This was in response to the picture. Introductory economics introduces the concept of the supply demand curve. Increasing prices reduces demand in most cases. Corporates can't just raise prices to a value they want them to be and expect to make a profit.

Re your point. Most input costs are up. Oil and gas price hikes impact the entire supply chain, making everything more expensive. Add governments paying people to do nothing has led to many leaving the workforce, forcing companies to pay higher wages to entice people to work which also adds to costs. All this means they aren't making "record profits" as you allege.

Ralph Henry said...

Dear Gunker, But gas companies can and have raised their prices because people MUST buy gas at any cost - think insulin.
First-quarter profits: Shell $9B, Exxon $9B, Chevron $7N, BP $6B.
Today's barrel of oil is about what it was in 2008 when gas was $3.50.
And who do people blame? Politicians.
