I loved these things when I was a kid. I found a particularly large straw they had at Stewart's for milkshakes was just the right size for both a bike pump and a $.25 smacky hand.

I may have underestimated the muzzle velocity of this weapon enough times to be banned from buying or possessing the the ammunition.

    Don't you remember all those times they were threatening to go nuclear? A nuclear meltdown lasts ages and continues throwing off toxic byproducts the whole time.

    I think we're underestimating the importance of encasing mega in cement and burying it under a mountain as quickly as possible.

    Shoplifting is a drop in the bucket compared to wage theft. Every one of these articles that doesn't mention wage theft is a new reason to not trust the publication.

    For me it's just so obvious that if you bring up theft you should talk about all theft and the context of theft especially if the whole articles about economic impact of theft. Wage theft doesn't sell advertisements I guess.

    "I asked the question I intended to ask using the words that I intended to use because they have the meaning that I intend them to have. There's no secret subtext to read into, I am asking this question literally with the words coming out of my actual human mouth" And people will still think I'm fucking sarcastic.

    I want to eat the cake I bought. I don't want to buy a cake and then have it taken away from me before I'm finished eating it.

    I understand you don't want to deliver cake anymore. That's fine. You need to open the rest of the box so I can get the rest of my cake out. You don't need to deliver anymore to me You just need to not take away the cake I already have.

    For now you have access to the ability to connect to the internet for multiple places and not have businesses immediately know exactly who you are. That is gradually going to be eliminated until you can be assured that every interaction you have on every website and every service will know exactly who you are at all times.

    Then it becomes a lot harder to investigate this kind of stuff for yourself.
