Ride, not be ridden by? Does he know? I don't think they fully understand his intentions.

When your carbon offset burns down, are you still carbon neutral? I keep buying donut offsets, but I am still gaining weight.

If I was next to her and knew about this post, my introverted self would suddenly be the most chatty asshole to ever fly.

Multi-breadbasket crop failures coming soon to a planet near you. You thought people were awful when they had to endure inflation and quarantine? Just wait till you see them when they don't know where next meal is coming from.

There are some games where if you don't do the side quests, you find yourself under leveled and struggling. Happened to me in Witcher 2 even though I thought I had completed all of the side quests in an area. Had to go back to the previous area and grind some more.

The WW2 term for them is collaborator.

This reminds me of how I got permabanned from reddit.

I guess I will have to shop at Kroger because their self-check makes me suspiciously hostile. I don't know how theirs is so much worse than other stores, but if never fails to piss me off.

The best part is that this study doesn't even account for environmental destruction. It is all based on running out of various non-renewable resources. Our environmental destruction is just a bonus.

My first car, a 1976 Chevy Malibu, that I inherited from my Grandparents. It looked awful. Was amazingly underpowered. Handled poorly. But my biggest complaint was the butterfly valve on the carburetor. When the temperature got "cold" the valve did not contract as much as the housing around it. Consequently, the valve would stick causing a bad air-fuel ratio that would make the engine stall. I put cold in quotes above because I lived in Houston at the time and the weather is never actually cold. GM took 700 lbs of weight out of the Malibu in the two following years without making the car any smaller. The huge V8 engine only developed a nominal 160 HP (or something like that) and only managed 12mpg. The plastic pieces on the interior cracked and flaked off.

Modern cars are so much nicer and more reliable. I almost feel grateful for that heap because it helps me appreciate the improvements we have achieved.

At least Stormy got paid.

She can't believe this is her reward for slurping.

Separate apps for various retail stores. I don't want a home depot app. I don't want a kroger app. We have a generic app for this category called a web browser. If you want me to download a specialized app for your store, I assume that means that my browser does not sufficiently breach my privacy for your "business purposes."
