Fuck AI, but fuck finance bros too. Dude's have monetized fucking EVERYTHING and now it's gonna be worse.

My wife was a journalist in SoCal a while back. She did a story on some women prisoners that were used to assist in firefighting.

They worked alongside Cal Fire. It was rough work, they were right there in the shit.

She can't recall if they were paid anything extra but she does remember that they ALL volunteered for it. They actually loved it.

The only item in my Honda (that I am aware of) that requires dealership attention is calibrating the "Honda Sense" sensors if they get replaced. And that is because the equipment required is so expensive, only the dealership carries it.

Plus, the only time I needed that was when I was hit by someone and the sensor was replaced because the panels were replaced.

I can still do all the minor maintenance myself, it is just a LOT more convenient for me to let my mechanic do it.

Love my Honda. (Please bring back the Fit!)

He takes credit for the sponsor's donation. So I would argue it is worse.

To your argument, Kim Kardashian has actually helped people, she has helped get innocent people exonerated and released from prison.

I would argue her charitable work is VASTLY more substantial than Mr. Beasts'.

Having said that... They are both terrible people and the world would be a better place without either one of them. They are both absolute whores for attention and could have achieved the same amount of charitable service without throwing themselves in front of a camera for it. Arguably stealing attention away from the people that did the actual work.

I don't disagree.

TLDR: I liked the comic but my stupid brain felt it necessary to make that pointless comment, but I learned some more.

Definitely not a full moon and a full moon would either be just setting as the sun came up or just rising as the sun came down.

(I used to fly in helicopters and one of my favorite moments, is when we would launch just before sunset, be heading east, and we would have the moonrise in front of us as, just after the sun set. In east county, San Diego, heading to the desert, it looked so huge and magical. Never looked the same when we tried to photograph, but it was always amazing to see.)

I'll buy the "wolf-out for any phase of the moon though".

I like the art style too. The scars/healing wounds were a nice touch. Made me think of a Viking berserker, but with the dark hair and look of a Romani.

I love it when people push back with actual effort. Forces me to double check my own knowledge.

I ended up going down the rabbit hole and discovered that scholars believe the werewolf story originates as far back as The Epic of Gilgamesh, were he "jilted a lover because she turned her previous mate into a wolf."

There is no full moon in the day time. The only time the moon is full is when it is basically opposite side of the Earth from the sun.

China doesn't have shit to challenge the U.S.

They don't have the experience, the doctrine, or the technology.

Anyone who considers China a legitimate naval threat is vastly overstating China's capabilities.

The only thing they are capable of is bullying tiny countries.

I read that and thought, "JFC, he finally hired and let a competent person steer his social media content!?"

False.

Clarence jumped into the water, before George Bailey could, and then yelled for help.
