I could read articles from every single paper in the world giving me detailed breakdowns by renowned scientists, statisticians, math experts, and even some geologists if you're feeling frisky, all telling me how Harris is 99.99999999% likely to win, and only 10,000 votes will go to anyone else, and that will still not change my opinion.

GO VOTE

Meanwhile, my terrier mix: come on, throw it. Throw the toy. I want you to throw it. Throw it. Come on just throw it. HERE it's in your hand now, so THROW IT

and he will start waving his paw around like he's making a petting motion, posed in a "I'm ready to run" stance.

Also he has managed to figure out if he holds a toy under one paw, and smacks it to the opposite side with his other paw, he can fling it up to 10ft, but usually just does it to toss it at our faces if we don't throw it quick enough.

While my wife watches them, I find myself asking "what was the point of adding that into the show?" too often.

It really does feel like the show is just going "And get a load of THIS sad sack, piece of shit, worthless, spineless, insecure little fuckwit who's just THE most unpopular at school, and work, and all the cool people HATE them ALL BECAUSE [generic reason that 95% of people can relate to]"

I'm sorry show, but we don't need to know if the murderer had dropped a scoop of ice cream at the park when they were 27.

Politicians can be bought for embarrassingly low amounts, I dont see "media personalities" as generally being any better.

You'll have a better understanding of the references and jokes if you're American, like watching TV from any nation would be, but IASIP is... Not for everyone.

I get the desire to watch it every few years, and get to around season 7 or 8 before burning out, and I have to admit the only reason I watched past episode 2 was because all my friends kept insisting it gets way better... But it's not usually my cuppa.

Don't get me started on Sisko and the "tEmpOrAl PrImE sUggEsTiOn"

Hey, I'll have you know I only have one alt!

... Don't tell Keiko, but it's for porn.

I think it's just too close to what people here are used to seeing used as arguments against electrification, and knee-jerk reaction is downvote.

I could imagine 100 years ago someone saying "Yes we know your house is burning down, but we had to find a shop with gasoline to put in the motorcar" to imply horse-drawn carts would be better suited for firehouses.

Idk, I still got a chuckle.

It's practically a British rite of passage.

Can you really say you've had the proper UK experience if you haven't been stabbed? I myself was stabbed 17 times on my last outing to Brighton.

I've always hated this meme, because it's always used wrong.

Meg is better than the rest of her family, by many orders of magnitude. Still hot garbage, but not as bad.

The rest are dressed fancy, but it's just a facade.

All of these options are superior to discord. You could also include a mule with mail bags sticking out the side, and dozens of letters strewn on the ground behind it.

They're getting there, but so far it's only a few users that I've noticed.

One guy seems to be following me around to attempt mockery.

They're very much getting to "everyone who isn't farther left than me is a right-wing nazi" mentality.

Yeah, the pandemic was definitely not a "savings time" for me or anyone I know...
