All part of the system. Stay healthy, friend!

The system traps you within. Breaking away from it can be a difficult venture and cannot be done completely without some retribution from the system itself. They’ll punish you for it to some degree and people have even been killed over it.

But yes, vanlife (or off-grid living) can liberate you to be potentially happier. At the very least unencumbering oneself from the odious monthly outlay just to live helps a lot. I don’t choose to do this (yet), but have friends that exist this way.

That or Startpage

I’ll take D

Damn right we will. Right in the A.

IKR??

I’d expect Nugent to come out onstage belting out “Bound and Gagged”, “Yank Me, Crank Me”, then “Jailbait” and finishing with “It’s a Free for All”.

He might even shit himself.

You know what tipping is supposed to be used for

Yes, allowing management to pay less than a living wage so that the public can cover the rest.

I get your meaning (and agree), but tipping as a practice should be dead and gone.

I was in SoCal several months back and ended up in a candy shop. Nothing but drawers of candy on the walls and one desk in the middle with a young woman sitting behind the checkout tablet. I had a question or two, but she was neither helpful or knowledgeable (it’s candy. not a difficult topic). She seemed very disinterested in engagement.

Well, I finish my selection, she scans and the tablet shows the totals with the big tip screen (NoTip-15-20-25%). I was taken aback that her job would get tips and wondered if she was paid enough before I smashed the NoTip button to finish up since she hadn’t done a thing to merit one.

Don’t forget the toxic Manosphere out there in the genpop. Many young men are drawn into the Rogan-type bs.

Well done! You’re a good egg! ;)

and a bumper sticker.

Well, did you share the room with the firefighter?

Oh…morons.

if it’s an export crop, it’s like exporting the water itself.

As well as disrupting relationships between NATO allies with the ultimate goal of tearing that alliance down.

I would agree:

These are some common signs of ASPD:
