As someone who has moved several free pianos and now tells people I will drive it but loading and unloading is on them…

They all sound like complete shit.

The piano is free, making it sound good isn’t.

But then, most people just have a piano for decoration.

… Dodging?

Is that some kind of move weaklings make when they can’t take a hit?

There’s several of us in Ohio, what if we toss Mike dewine and his ilk to Kentucky?

must’ve read David vs. Goliath and sided with the Goliath.

Bold of you to assume that they can read, or that they have read the Bible.

In my experience not even “devout Christians” do that last one.

saw war as a thrilling, life-or-death, adventure.

That just sounds like psychopath-lite…

Oh man, I missed bullpupping memes…

if the characters behave too unnatural

My wife doesn’t get this.

I can’t stand watching some movies because every part of the movie is just one character doing something unnatural or outright insane that nobody would ever do, and the people around them react in similarly unnatural and insane ways.

And certain old movies (especially holiday oriented ones) that lean heavily into the “everyone here is a bumbling idiot” trope crank this up to 11.

If you enjoy said things, awesome. Good for you. Keep watching them, it literally does not affect me. I’m genuinely glad you have entertainment. I just won’t watch it with you.

A person can dream.

My parents have between 1,000 and 3,000 books… Even they aren’t sure.

Last time they were neatly arranged I was a child.

Right now they have 3 floor-to-ceiling bookshelves stacked as densely as possible, 3 books deep, with as many stacked In and laying on top as can fit Ina rectangle 10ft tall, 4ft wide, and 18ish inches deep.

Plus a handful of waist high shelves, multiple moving boxes filled up that haven’t been emptied since they moved in2017 and a ton scattered all over the house…

They have more fantasy/Sci fi books than every library in a 50 mile radius combined.

I still have less than 30 books to my name since most of mine are digital, but I’ve been going to half price books looking to get physical copies of everything.

They barely watch dvds anymore since they’re spending like 100/mo on various streaming subs.

They’ve had a book in hand for as long as I can remember, nowadays it’s a Kindle but their disorganization has been present as long as I can remember, too.

Last year I watched their dog while they were out of town, and I reorganized their dvd collection in alphabetical order, keeping the various series together.

In less than 6 months it was essentially back to complete chaos. And in that time,according to them, they barely watched any dvds, they just looked through the shelves a bunch to figure out what they have.Why that requires them to pull movies out and out them back in a different spot, I’m not sure.

When I was a child, I once knocked every book off every shelf in the house.

Because I had 6 books in alphabetical order on my little shelf in my room. My mother kept rearranging them in as close a rainbow distribution as possible… I asked her to stop many times, but ultimately decided if you’re going to mess up my shelf, I will mess up yours.

Surprisingly this tactic worked, and they didn’t make me clean up the books by myself, they did most of it.

Their idea of “organizing” the books is “well most of the books in that series are close to each other, but a bunch of other random ones are mixed in, and entire genres have been rearranged many times so who knows what books we even actually have”

They have a similar way of organizing dvds. It’s infuriating.

Make every company that has a whistleblower die in ANY way face extremely heavy penalties including, but not limited to: 75% taxing on all income for a period of time as part of a fine, jail time for executives, board members, and potentially large shareholders, potential nationalization of the company, etc

Make every company afraid to have a whistleblower die. Make them want to hire private security and pay for all health expenses to ensure the person lives because the alternative is the company ceases to exist in any way that benefits those in charge.

The angled DOD seal to reflect Walter’s slightly down turned head is a nice touch

As always, some people see Jurassic Park as inspiration and wonder why nobody gave Hammond a chance.

The rest of us know that Dr. Malcolm was right from the start.

I believe it’s properly pronounced “Brock ‘THE RAPIST’ Turner”

surely they’ll follow up with investments into US-produced solar equipment to boost the economy and bring prices down to competitive levels, right?

… Right?

Yeah, I don’t think anyone would ask you “Are you okay with sitting at the bar with nazis?” yet plenty will happily judge you for saying “I’d rather not have to deal with MAGAts and their opinions”

Sorry but if your opinion is “trans people aren’t people” or “blacks need to know their place” then your opinion is shit and no the fuck I don’t have to listen to it

I see their junk at every thrift store and flea market in Ohio.

I legitimately thought they went out of business.

we can’t figure out how to take the mega-rich’s thumb off the scales of democracy/justice

Well, one of us did yesterday at least.
