loving good. Remote start is so loving dumb. Hey rear end in a top hat, if you bundle up the way that you should in an environment that “requires” remote start, then it won’t be so critical. I have a 2001 Maxima, it’s pumping heat pretty decently by the end of the block when I turn out of my alley. But hey, maybe it’s because I don’t have a loving cargo’s van worth of empty space to heat.

Sorry, I just HATE remote starts. Burn gas while idle because “my fingies might get cold.”

I'm sure meme police would never apply this logic to how the US can just conjure trillions of dollars out of nowhere to bail out companies and build airplanes that don't fly good. Surely covid is the only time they ever used a ton of money that came from nowhere.

Here's a chilling failure of capitalism allowing literally anyone to buy extremely potent industrial grade rat poison online from Amazon.

I myself have ordered from diypestcontrol.com before. I live in scorpion country and use one of the sprays there outdoors.

Reminder that one of the bombs that was to detonate at a mlk parade somewhere had rat poison added, probably for its anticoagulant properties

Anyway locally we have a chain of DIY pest control stores that will just straight up sell you the nastiest industrial pest killers they are legally capable of selling so lol.

Their radio ad is something like "Save money and use the same stuff as the pros yourself!" which always vaguely sounded like they were implying you use it like drugs.

Edit: Wait, no. I messed up. This is the very issue that started this argument last time. I'll take an L on this one.

Watchdog barking - Do he bite?
Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
Slip in his window,

I start to wreck!
Got no reason --

Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.

On the one hand, they didn’t give it to Osama bin Laden in 2001.

On the other hand, they did give it to Rudolph Giuliani in 2001.

Such an action no doubt goes against written policy, but the metrics are designed to ensure that the real policy is the one enforced. Take part of a shift off, miss your 30 day rolling productivity average kpi, get fired. I'm sure the company is thoroughly covered though.

Regardless of official policy, a team leader who was there that night says in the article that everyone was totally allowed to go home. Which, when you consider that absolutely everyone is out of a job because the facility was demolished by the storm, makes that individual one of the most bootlicking humans who has ever lived.

Our discussion of joel stein's incredible article about millenials made me research the guy, and when he left in 2017 he posted a goodbye article that I think was meant to be funny, but is one of the saddest things I've read. https://time.com/5027064/hello-i-must-be-going/

The article, and his tenure at time, began with a time science reporter angrily posting a note outside their office saying that joel stein was bringing down the quality of the time magazine news room. The article, and his tenure at time, ended with his boss saying that he hired joel stein to bring down the quality of the time magazine news room. This guy is a bojack horseman character and he doesn't even know it.
