Look, it's not "all you can eat." It's "all you can eat."

"You" is not the subject noun, it's "all." You refers to the group of people. The buffet is open to the public, and any paying member of the public may eat. Your honor, the phrase has been misinterpreted all along. It was never about allowing any one person to eat until they no longer can, but about allowing any paying customer to eat the food offered at the buffet.

I rest my case.

At what point is a van so big that it's a bus?

Whoa, that's a double nostalgia, all the way. Oh my god, whooo!!

Vans and minivans do everything trucks and SUVs do, and they do it better. Every time. No exception. SUVs and crossovers are just worse minivans for people who think they're too cool to drive a minivan.

And those outside of North America largely need not apply. I wish we could just have a robust public transit system here, but apparently, public transit is antithetical to muh freedum or something. Or so they tell me.

And that's not even getting into the point the post makes, which is that these monstrosities are getting bigger and more dangerous to pedestrians, yet our governments do nothing to stop it.

I've been a huge Car Seat Headrest fan since 2016. I've been streaming it while waiting for it to be delivered.

This is a real thing I do. It feels weird if the weight of the carton isn't evenly balanced when I take it from the fridge.

Edit: I'm listening to AOC talk about that speech, and she is, of course, one million percent right. Not once did he mention Medicaid. They're bringing up this other bullshit to distract us. They distracted me. If you upvoted my comment in its original form, you were probably distracted, too. We should be focused on what they're REALLY doing: Gutting Medicaid.

I listened to his address. He listed off some 19 items where they slashed the so-called "waste, fraud, and abuse." The first thing was like 22 billion and the next eighteen added up to another 2.5 billion. So all in, they saved 24.5 billion.

Trump's requested 2018 budget (pre-pandemic, pre-inflation spike) was 4.094 trillion. Adjusted for inflation, it'd be 5.247 trillion today, which means they've saved basically nothing.

Well, 0.47% to be more precise. Another way of putting it, if the government was spending $100.00 in 2018, now it's spending $99.53. And if most people saw a thing that costs $99.53, they're probably gonna tell you, "That thing's a hundred bucks."

Meanwhile, a dozen of the bottom shelf eggs I bought this morning cost me six dollars. Four weeks ago, these were $1.89. My favorite brand isn't even available anymore. Also, the store limits you to two cartons at a time. They do sell packages up to five dozen, though. Those cost $42. And yes, that is a worse deal. Much worse. But if you need 60 eggs at once, that's probably how you're go about it.

Not to mention the planes falling out of the sky right now. But at least I still have my freedom, I guess?

They think that just because you voted for a certain guy, it means you love him. Nope. I probably hate Joe Biden more than most Republicans do. Unlike them, I actually know some of his policies. Some of them are great. And some of them are wretched. But most of them are just business as usual bullshit when what we need is real change.

Sometimes, the best thing they can do is to not say anything. Walz could have said nothing, and pretty well nobody would have been upset about it.

Am I the only one who has to do like 12 of these in a row before my humanity is recognized? Beyond mildly inconvenient, it's downright annoying now.

Edit: I use Mullvad + Firefox + Betterfox + uBO. I don't think my setup is that sophisticated lmao

Hell, even "are you down..." isn't bad. Suggested finishers:

  • ...to get coffee?
  • ...for a movie night?
  • ...for lunch/dinner?
  • ...to hang out and chat at the park?
  • ...to meet at the library for a quick game of Cones of Dunshire?

Basically anything but that.

No problem with that. I think the meme is referring to people who spent 100k on outlandishly large and glitzy trucks to spend 100% of their lives on paved suburban streets.

By that logic, we should then remove all barriers to run. If a convicted criminal can run, there's no reason a 28 year old with no criminal background can't.
