This makes me rethink my stance on capital punishment. The picture made me actually shudder.

I think we know why you asked 😂 but I strongly approve

Watching my own language means my "acquaintance" was right? I don't think I'm the one with a stick, if that's the case.

I remember learning this about 20ish years ago and telling my then-sister in law about it when I explained why I wasn't going to use it anymore. I got told I had a stick up my ass, and this was by a marginalized (gay, immigrant) woman. (Somewhat unrelated note - very grateful she's a former relation.)

So glad people have been learning and I've been hearing "gypped" less and less in recent years.

The Stash, to the rescue.

She would almost certainly have threatened to contact her "solicitor," not her "attorney," if it were real, given she's from/in the UK. Still a very entertaining read, though.

I don't know why I bothered to hope. I'm so tired of being disappointed in humanity.

Oh man, that hit the nostalgia button hard in a very bizarre way. I was still using these in the early 90s. I can still picture my name, written in the teacher's mesmerizingly neat handwriting, taped to the top corner.

Eventually it'll probably be child soldier units made up of the thousands of kidnapped Ukrainian children.

To be honest, I'm a little surprised they still have enough meat shields that they haven't started doing this yet, but I suppose they must be tricking enough folks from India and the African continent into going to Russia for "work."

My dollar gave me a Canadian coin and some yen. What do I do now?!

This is flavored soju, which is usually around 10-12% abv and is sweetened. Very drinkable. Unflavored soju is a little less friendly if you don't like tasting alcohol.

That dollar is pregnant and about to birth some coins.
