Law talkin guy. Mostly posts about war books, corgis, and silly things my kid says
Only mmo I ever got into was ff11 and i rolled a white mage to help out my buddies. Turns out, I'm a type (and never lfg'ed for long).
And if you read the intro it's theme is explicitly anti-racist. Its basically the meme "it's all geography" "No! Complicated etc etc" "it's all geography."
Crap. I really need to get a water cooler job.
The people crave the knowledge of the relative calorie content of various seed grasses and the donesticability of zebras.
I remember people saying JD had no expertise in this, go read 1491 (which was written by a journalist!), and so I did and it basically agreed with JD so idk really.
Let's just say that if you mentioned him in history grad student PhD grifter Twitter back in the day you would get lots of QTs and people yelling at you. They would generally "cite" to a 3 page "academic" paper titled "Fuck Jarred Diamond."
Good thing Steppe Horde Risk is already priced in.
This was Diamond's thesis and everyone yells at him now but I (brave) think he was right about this.
I was evicting this dude May '20 (a hard time to evict somebody!) that kept threatening the neighbors with guns and shooting them into the air during parties and he called in to the trial from the ER from a motorcycle accident. Showed the judge his wounds and everything. Judge had a similar look.
Oh I saw that! The judge's face is perfect. This was my reaction image.
Ugh. I feel that. I look at a sandwich now and I'm like "that's about 3.7 miles."
Hi I'm a lawyer. My greatest hits include:
- stop
- please stop
- I'm begging you to stop
- staaaahhhhpppp
- *weeping noises*
Hi I'm a fact checker. My greatest hits include:
- this is wrong
- this is only half right
- you've confused this with something else and they're both wrong
- this whole entire section is wrong
- this one thing is so wrong that your entire premise is now wrong
- none of this is right
I worked stockroom at William Sonoma and I'd eat an entire loaf of grocery store French bread for dinner when I got home from working Christmas rush.
There was a move in '01 called The Last Castle who's movie poster featured an upside down flag that was actually relevant to the plot and these dorks made a fuss and made the studio change it so I find all this a bit rich.
Just fill it full of Simpsons jokes to relate to them.
Lady in a walker meme: In my day you had to drive 30 minutes to the next town over to rent Ruroni Kenshin tapes from the comic book/pager store.
Oh heck yeah. House to myself, put on Fellowship... Basically a dream.
We got a rotisserie chicken to make some stuff with leftover veg but it turns out all the veg went bad during our trip so now I'm like "I'm just gonna eat this chicken." Maybe with a sauce idk
Gotta say, if it weren't for the burdensome LoR requirements, I'd probably be a few years into a history PhD at a mid school and that has made all the difference.
I thought the explanation for that fight was that it was handicapped by Ren's massive laser blast wound.
Suddenly recalling my ridiculous charade performance at 19 in the Asian grocery store trying to communicate to the nice old lady that didn't speak any English what kind of mushroom I was looking for.
Buy them in the big can and then dump it in one of those soup to-go containers you keep around and then all the carrots and onions that were on thr bottom are now on the top and you have better jalapeños too.
We all have our sign to tap and this is mine.
Ff11 ruined my life in college. Think I'll steer clear.
I just want a mod on my ps5 that makes it safe to play in front of my 8yo. She loves dnd!
I grew up in Odessa and remember when it wasn't "Commemorative." Now that I'm such a plane junkie I see that I didn't realize how good I had it.
