At least you didn't pull upwards like I did. Glad the ceiling was there or it could've been much worse.

Speak for yourself! Personally I like to wear my boxers and sit on my lawn chair in my front yard while I whittle a stick to a sharp point so I can poke my broke down, rusted out, station wagon. Also every Saturday I get out there in the front and just rev the shit out of my engine at like 6AM. Gotta keep those property values down somehow ya know?

Lock the number of justices at 9. Have an 18 year term limit with a rolling new appointee every 2 years on a non-election year. If a Justice is removed or leaves before their term is over the interim Justice only serves out the rest of that position's term. Appointees cannot serve more than a 24 year term to give interm Justices a chance to continue serving if they were appointed during the last years of another Justice.

There's for sure still flaws under that system but it's not exactly upending the position like a 10 year limit does. Also it should keep the court within the prevailing opinion of the country without it being overly politicized since appointments happen in non-election years.

Fracking is like the exact opposite of planting a tree. How did you even come up with that insane counter example?

For further context the phrase was largely leveraged to stop the spread of bad news on the war front. They were fairly confident that a German spy network didn't exist within American society at the time of the campaign, but didn't want negative press to circulate about the war effort.

Like literally literally or literally figuratively? Because the thought of someone popping out the hatch with a sack of potatoes and just wildly chunking them at a drone is kind of hilarious.

Motorcycle isn't abad choice. You get an alternator and a battery out if the deal. You can rig up a simple water turbine to charge it easily enough. You also get a bunch of steel, rubber/plastics, some wire, tubes, and a couple of pretty good lightbulbs (possibly even an LED one depending on the headlight/taillight). Taking the magic Moog as the 2nd option seems like the best idea considering it's magic.

I don’t even know what that is, man. I worked, I didn’t play with stocks.

4th option confirmed. Everyone that has a 401k in some capacity, and isn't sure how they work, please go check your 401k elections right now. It isn't really "playing stocks" but just putting it somewhere that isn't cash equivalent. Otherwise your money is depreciating in value from inflation. This is your chance to learn from WarmSoda's mistake and hopefully will keep you from making the same mistake!

I swear no one in this whole ass thread remembers John Candy or Chris Farley. There were plenty of fat dudes and dudettes back in the 80s and 90s. Yes Americans are getting fatter, but it's not nearly as profound as everyone is making it out to be. Trust me there were tons of fat motherfuckers running around back then too.

Sincerely a fat motherfucker.

I guess I snuck in before they were looking. Maybe I didn't have the threshold for them to give a shit. A 250k karama and a 100k karma account were my big ones. I killed them back in 2020 though, so the AI craze hadn't hit yet. Guess they don't want their investors to freak out when they find out they're basically investing in a dead site.

Dear lord 2015/2016 was like the sharp decline after a long slope downward in my opinion. Might be showing my age but peak reddit to me was prior to reddit gold and vote fuzzing.
