Is it a Rick Roll if you expect it?

As usual, I voted for who I wanted in the primary and I’ll vote for who I must in November and, as usual, they won’t be the same person.

Notably, a cosmetologist requires 2-3 times more training than police officers in the US. The only two countries with lower training requirements are Iraq and Afghanistan. Stories like this post, the acorn incident, and shooting into that ladies house, start to make a lot more sense with that context, eh?

It’s a rural town, so maybe a lot of the kids live in the country and are on wells instead of the town’s water tower?

There are many states where trucks only need one plate, and they put it in the front.

Is this more shit posting or are you serious?

10 minutes!? Slow down and enjoy it!

The article says that the man is prohibited from owning firearms, so he probably has a felony or something. I’m not sure about California, but you wouldn’t need any kind of special license to own all of those guns and ammo in a lot of states.

Some people don’t attach value or sentimentality to $5 valentine’s day cards and would rather just spend time with their partner and spending time picking out a good card for each other can be fun. I personally like the funny ones so it can be fun to pick those out, show them to your partner, have a laugh together, and then put them back. The card brings the same amount of joy, but you don’t have to spend money or throw it away later.

Blasphemy! How can you look at that perfect hairy specimen and not think that is a good shape?

Storage units are terrible about this shit too. They advertise $30/mo and after fees you’re paying closer to $50/mo.

Especially when the other person is immune to hypocrisy.

My spouse and I did something very similar. It sucks, but the line has to be drawn somewhere. Fortunately, we only had one friend that got offended enough to defriend us and, well frankly, we decided that maybe we were better off without that particular friend in our lives.

Congratulations, by the way!

To be fair, I suspect the average adult in real life probably only remembers, and uses, 5th grade math.

He says that she’s alive and well and has been busy devoting her time to Scientology and is definitely not dead or being held captive or anything, so I shouldn’t “worry my pretty head about it, sweet cheeks.” I should note that he was born in the 40’s.

He’s a scientologist. Same thing, right?

A zebra is closer to the size of a donkey than a horse, and donkeys have about 5 horsepower, so a 200hp car would be about 40zf (zebra force). Also, since horses actually have about 15 horsepower, that same car would be about 13ahp (actual horse power). Llamas are also about the size of a donkey, so probably similar numbers.

Disclaimer: I’m not a scientist and these numbers came from my ass.

Or additional dumbasses. Dumbass is not an uncommon trait, after all.

FINALLY a whole bunch of links to other articles, some of which are promoted by Taboola, whatever the fuck that is.

And the entire time there was a red popup for “breaking news” taking up 1/5 of the screen.

For those keeping track at home, the article was a total of fourteen sentences, one photo of the school, and two stock photos. And no photo of a bathroom without mirrors.
