Ok, so imagine that you're hungry and you come across a sandwich shop that has your favorite sandwich for $15, but the shop next door has the exact same sandwich for free. Which sandwich are you gonna eat?

No, wait, that's not important. Most people are gonna eat the free sandwich, so even if you eat the $15 sandwich, you're statistically irrelevant.

Yeah, maybe some people that weren't hungry are gonna get a free sandwich, but the people who were hungry are also getting free sandwiches, which means that the guy trying to make a living selling $15 sandwiches is gonna have to close shop unless he starts lacing his sandwiches with cocaine.

Ryan Fortnine made this point by climbing inside the engine compartment of a Dodge Ram.

They didn't modify the truck and dude is over 6' tall.

Sometime between now and September, if you look to the left-hand side of the Northern Crown, what will look like a new star will shine for five days or so.

Pretty cool if you own a telescope and are into astronomy, but not exactly solar flare levels of hype here. Don't wake up your SO and drag them out onto the lawn at 2am to show them this Nova.

Miranda knows that she can continue to pocket a majority of the restaurant profits if she can get the staff to blame each other for their discontentments.

I think that the article gives Donny Boy a little too much credit. They assume that his tweet was the beginning of some long con, but it's probably just dementia. L'Homme Orange may actually believe he's gonna debate someone on Fox News in October.

Yes, please, go vote. This election is a great opportunity to win a landslide victory and shift American politics further left.

They skipped the era of country music that was "I love my dog more than my wife, but don't ask me to choose between my dog and my truck"

Well America used to be just a handful of colonies along the eastern seaboard, but then there was the whole manifest destiny thing. Going west meant heading out to the new frontier. Midwesterners are people who gave up midway.

I went through a period of severe depression following some life-changing events. These changes caused me to suddenly become isolated from my family so my wife was really all I had. I lost my job and struggled to find another one in the industry which only made things worse and made it so that we didn't really have money for therapy. It was a rough few years, but we made it through.

The best thing you can do for him right now is to be there for him and remain his ally. Try to make him smile when you can and give him hope for a brighter future. If you want to do something more pro-active then you could try to keep his space clean or cook healthy meals for him as these things will help with his mental hygiene, but it's mostly up to him to make the necessary effort to get better.

Make sure you take care of yourself, too. Practice good mental hygiene so that you can stay positive and motivated to make it through this. You got this.

Compelling villains are written with a deeper motivation for their actions than just 'hurt people' or 'be evil' and they have a tendency to challenge the status quo in some way. Such villains become sympathetic because the current status quo is oppressive.

It must be very difficult to write a villain for a contemporary piece of media because they can very quickly become a hero of the people.

You never know. Someone could make a time travel movie with it one day and then collectors will pay an arm and a leg for the left door.
