I was going to counter with, “what about Real Time w/ Bill Maher,” but I’ve never actually seen that show so you’re still correct.

They made their decision, let them enforce it.
Trusting the home inspector that said the roof wouldn’t need to be replaced for at least another couple years.
She’s an enemy of the state in the USA.

Not trying to dox myself, but I also live in Missouri and have a sailboat on Carlyle Lake in IL (about an hour from St. Louis). If you’re anywhere in the area, our sailing club is doing our annual Try Sailing Day on June 22nd. Free rides on a variety of different small sailboats and catamarans in exchange for a gentle sales pitch to sign up as an associate member, take some lessons, and be able to rent out any of the club’s fleet boats or volunteer to crew for someone on the Sunday buoy racing circuit.
Do you live in an area where you can go sailing?
I have an important professional certification that I need to get renewed before the end of this week, but I also really need to get my fake soccer team on Football Manager 2024 through the 4th Qualifying Round of the FA Cup.
Exciting news, I guess, but what does this really mean? Not having to download a separate face/logos pack each year?
I’ve got a Kindle that rarely leaves the bathroom anymore, for this reason. Captive audience with a few minutes to kill? Sure, I can get through a chapter…
I was looking for a new job recently and found a listing for Part-time Manhole Cover Inspector. Was tempted to apply, but I was not qualified.
My younger brother had a summer job in high school as a worm farmer.
Eat enough alphabet soup to give yourself diarrhea then look at what comes out. Same effect.
Sit in a cubicle for 8 hours a day.
I will go on Football Manager binges, overhauling my favorite squads and seeing them to long-term success. Then I watch actual football matches and think, “Why isn’t Dick Johnson starting at left back?” and have to remind myself that Dick Johnson doesn’t really exist.
I enlisted in the Army on Sept 5th, 2001…that was an eventful week.
If they pull a knife, you pull a gun. That’s the Chicago way!
But he was excellent at being completely full of shit.
Is there enough time for any of them to get on the ballot?
Expanding on this…I read some of Klemperer’s “Language of the Third Reich” years and years ago and it’s some fascinating stuff, but a fairly dry scholarly read if I remember correctly. On the other hand, his diaries published in 3 volumes under the title “I Will Bear Witness” are a gripping, insightful, and sadly relatable account of Germany’s descent into fascism while everyone walked around pretending everything was fine. Highly recommended.
When did it ever really flame in?
