JUST SOMETHING ELSE TO WORRY ABOUT

And all Aztecs would have sworn that that story was true. You know why? Because their mothers told them it was true. This bullshit could end now if we just give up on the absolute wisdom of mothers.

My takeaway on the above is a coincidence. Yours is...


Just stop. You are better than that.

A ray of sunshine...


And it was the youth who led the way...

Oh shit.

I'm in the middle of a monumental struggle with demon nicotine. Wish me luck.

I'm the guy who spent a year researching that evil empire and I know of its nefarious deeds. But think about this - they call themselves a religion so they are more or less untouchable.

I've watched this a dozen times and I still don't know if the kid was photoshopped.

Then stop companies like AMR taking over EMS! Make it a third service like POLICE and FIRE. An Ambulance shouldn't be a luxury.
^^9^^


Please think about that a moment.

What some people have to do to put food on the table for their families.

The earth is the largest rock that any of us will ever stand on. So I've never understood rock climbers. By standing on the earth, you have stood on the biggest rock. You are done. You have peaked. You don't have to keep climbing rocks. Unnecessary.

SHIT YOU DON'T SEE EVERY DAMN DAY

That seems a little labor intensive for the payoff.

I'm a guy who is addicted to back scratches but only in that region where I can't reach myself.

Don't you know the engineering and testing of that was a lot of fun?

When less powerful it is important to be very quick.

All that just to be able to kill people.

Today I was seated next to a lovely, glowing, first-time pregnant woman, who looked me in the face and told me her child will be a mellow introvert. I let her have the moment.

GET LEARNT


https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/02/15/upshot/british-irish-dialect-quiz.html
I once wrote a novel where a man came in a Southern bar with the claim that he could tell where a person was from if they pronounced these five words that he displayed on a card: 
Al, owl, all, oil, awl.
My Southern redneck said, "All, All, All, All, All...how'd I do?" 
^^19^^

At the last moment, FDR added the word "Infamy" into his speech.

Originally it would have been "A date which will live in world history" which I assume we can all agree is far less memorable.
^^20^^


Also, GM crops are safe, vaccines don't cause autism, the Earth is not flat, climate change is real and dangerous, the moon landing was not faked, an airplane full of fuel can bring down skyscrapers, dogs need meat, Area 51 does not contain a UFO, there is no Bigfoot, and there is and never has been a talking snake.
^^21^^


Why don't we do this all over the globe?
^^22^^


There is something inherently wonderful about a hand carved item. No store-bought can equal a one of a kind. It's the difference between a purchase and an heirloom.
^^23^^

Saw a pregnant woman smoking today.
You can guess what I yelled at her.
Apparently, she wasn't pregnant after all.

You can guess what she yelled at me.

MISTAKES WERE MADE

One of the funniest lines ever written...
^^24^^

Remember this?
^^25^^

He foresees the danger, thus he directed bystanders to back away.
Yet he did it anyway. Doesn't he have access to the thousands of videos of assholes doing EXACTLY what he did?
^^26^^

Guy kicks cop in the balls...
If he wasn't drunk I feel even sorrier for him.

S.T.E.M. MATTERS

Coming to an airport near you...

^^30^^

It took countless experiments to determine what would and what would not yield the desired results...
^^31^^

My first barracks mate in Germany in 1972 build himself a computer that looked very much like that one. It was bigger than a standard desk.
^^32^^

In many countries, one test determines a child's entire life.
Think about that.

Double chili dog: No I won’t.

Too soon?

Good luck with your smoking cessation quest. I have always been a nonsmoker so can only guess at the difficulty. Many years ago, one of my employees came to me complaining of the smoking rules (he was a nonsmoker, too) because he couldn't get clean air because smoking was allowed in every break area at the time. In response, I conducted a survey and discovered that 30% of the workers smoked, and 80% of the smokers wanted to quit, but the availability of smoking areas (and prominent smokey air) made it very difficult. That means only 20% of smokers were avid smokers who refused to quit. That's only 6% of the population. Once we realized that, we made the factory nonsmoking with almost no repercussions. Yes, the avid 6% got vocal, but the 94% told them to F@#k off and get a job elsewhere.
