If anything, this indicates that restaurants should be forced to print menus so it's as annoying and inconvenient as possible to raise prices.

I am shocked by your implication that France would ever engage in performative, insincere grandstanding, especially while simultaneously doing the same thing in a belligerent display of blatant and avowed hypocrisy. France would never do that, that's why they currently absolutely do not engage in any unethical arms trade, nor are they actively participating in any neocolonialism at all.

You're on the bus, in a seat, but if the bus driver finishes the day and left his hat behind, his hat is in the bus on a seat. Active/private/static vs passive/public/transitory. You're generally in buildings but on vehicles, unless that vehicle is both private and enclosed. It's not much more complicated than in[side] vs on [top of]; just keep in mind that it's predicated on whether or not the encapsulatory nature of the object is necessary to its identity. For instance, you could also ride on a flat parade float without walls or roof, and putting a box on it to make it a bus doesn't change that, so it remains 'on'.

If they were going to learn from their mistakes and make the show funnier again, their opportunity was to do so with season 10.

Stuart Ashen is the only indie filmmaker I can think of who's lucky to not be dead from botulism.

See? Pixel devices are nothing but a trip to the lemon grove, but people with debilitating chronic ass pain tearfully refuse to accept that they wasted their money on GETBRAND. I take those downvotes as an unofficial census confirming how many people don't know ball.

People who use stock ROMs choose to suffer, just like people who choose to buy a Pixel that will either come unglued, push components through the display, or just constantly overheat.

You have 10 or 15 kids and three or four of them will tough it out enough to grow up. There's a reason the population exponentially exploded around the time antibiotics and vaccines were invented.

That's just amateur hour. Just try to avoid showing the crowd at all and flagrantly lie about attendance figures, like MLS.

If Gavin Newsom is the source for the claim that Gavin Newsom didn't know the Guard was going to be mobilized and did not want to allow it to happen, the most charitable interpretation I'll commit to is that we don't know the truth. The dude has two faces.

 

This is a small and almost completely unknown youtuber I stumbled across who only has two uploads more recent than 10 years ago, and this video goes insanely hard for no reason.

 

Another easy W for buffy

 

Plus a paragraph retrospective on the song's cultural impact that functions as a sales pitch for overpriced weed

 

In an age where the zeitgeist of review channels is carefully staged, shot, and edited reviews of expensive premium products on immaculate sets, it's nice to see a middle-aged British man reviewing dollar store shit using his couch cushion as a table exactly like he did in 2006.

 

And the Yankees are in the running for one of the ugliest performances in World Series history, competing with the 2007 Colorado Rockies. The 1919 White Sox put up more of a fight. In the final game, scorekeepers did New York a favor assigning only three errors instead of four. From Judge dropping a routine flyout, to Cole going on vacation instead of covering 1st, to Volpe's throwing error, etc. the Yankees have once again proven that being able to hit isn't worth a damn if you can't also play solid fundamental baseball. I don't know what the future has in store for Boone, but if I'm the owner of the Yankees, watching them piss away a World Series looking bored and defeated and making mistakes that D3 college players never make, I'd have a new manager by November 1st.

The Dodgers played solid, adaptable baseball both in the World Series and in the postseason. They went into every game ready to do the best they could do, and it produced results. Personally, I am a Braves fan, and my own team reminded me of the pennant-winning Yankees: sloppy, confused, and annoyed to still be there. So, while I am in the abstract pleased for Freddie Freeman, and happy that Shohei Ohtani now has a ring, I am now back to hating the Dodgers. I have nothing more to add. Hopefully a Dodgers fan on Lemmy can comment exultation in their victory, as is their due.

 

And you can't help but feel like they're relieved it's over. Maybe when spring training comes the squad will look less suicidally depressed to be playing baseball.
