Spicy Cheeze-its for me.





If you're referring to the Hot & Spicy Jalapeño Cheez Its with the little Tabasco logo on the box- I agree.. though I haven't had them in years .

Disappointment ? That would imply that you were ignorant enough to ever believe one goddam syllable that ever came out his mouth ... Cant say that though, cause then you'll be accused of having "omg TDS !!11!!"

lol, ok. Cigarettes are almost $10/pack. I’ll just go ask my boss for a raise.




I agree with you, more than I agree with the poster you quoted .. However, im not sure that cigarette prices are a great example to use .

Had a co-worker who was a chubby chaser...

He wasn't fat, but he loved fat women. His nasty ex-wife was in shape, the shape of a pumpkin...

He also like watching fat porn, weird obsession...






I had a boss like that.. weird af... actually though, I think it might be kinda nice to have that bizarre obsession b/c it would make it crazy easy to get laid in America.. half the population is I think technically obese, and some of those women are absolutely starved for bedroom shenanigans .

The health craze of the 80’s partly has a link back to the AIDS epidemic.

People, especially in the gay community, wanted to portray an image of being healthy to counter concerns of whether they had it. Running, weight lifting, aerobics all took off in that era as a response.



I would push back a little bit on that.. I was only a small child in the 1980s, but my understanding, from things ive learned as an adult- is that the running craze specifically took off in the 1970s.. prior to AIDS being identified.. and it was every bit as popular amongst heteros as it was amongst the gays.. also, weightlifting's popularity origin can (mostly) be traced back to the mid 70s Schwarzenegger flick Pumping Iron. and while of course the gays love themselves a gym, again id say that weightlifting was just as popular amongst straights .. and I think aerobics owes more Jane 'Aint got a motor in the back of her Honda' Fonda than Richard Simmons or any of the gays .. if memory serves, Fonda's workout tapes predate Simmons tv show and national popularity by a year or two .
Of all the reasons im thrilled to have been able to work remotely over the last 20 years- not having to share bathroom space with trashy coworkers has to be near the very top of the list .

How come old people's eyes always be all red n shite?





Little known fact : "Eyes always be all red n shite" is actually a medical term, it means that someone who is in their 80s or 90s has seen a lot of stuff in their lives .. and a lot of things that they cannot unsee, thereby causing bloodshot eyes ... The more you know .

Ive never met Alda, but ive been in a room with Shatner .. worked on a project with him a few years ago, on the production side, only for a few days.. he's literally 5'7" at most.. much like most of the posters here .. still, it's a truism that women will frick literally anything that's famous.. so you might be right .

The dude looks absolutely phenomenal for 90.






Yep .

I want to see how the OP looks if he's lucky enough to make it to 90 years old... Also, even though "Hollywood" gets a bad rap, Alda seems like a decent, stand up guy in interviews ive seen over the years (im old enough to remember MASH in its original run).. or at least as decent as someone can seem without ever really knowing them .

Checks out .



I thought that in person the Land Cruiser looked nice.. but tbh Im fortunate to be able to ride (via SE Asia's version of Uber) in some awesome Evs every day like Aion, Jaecoo, Neta, etc.. but the BYDs ive been in ("Build Your Dream") are the nicest EVs, nicer even than any Tesla ive driven.. so my next vehicle purchase will most likely be a BYD .

I wish more vehicles had a gold color option.




In person it looked like more of a green .. then again, im slightly colorblind.. still im pretty sure it was more green than gold .
.. or at least, the first time ive noticed one in the wild ... Honestly not my favorite color, but still a very nice looking vehicle, not sure if the pics do it justice .

There is a Buddhist precept that states "Everything seems so important .. Until you get sick.. Then, you realize that the only thing that ever mattered was your health.. and that of your loved ones ."
quote:

Most Americans figure out a way to make ends meet.




'Making ends meet' was never a problem for me.. that mentality tells me you are probably a paycheck-to-paycheck type person ..... For me, I was used to a certain level of saving and investing- after paying bills & living expenses- and at a certain point, inflation and the general cost of living was eating into my ability to invest at the level I was accustomed to.... Now, I use geo-arbitrage to bring in US dollar bills, while living in low cost of living countries .. thereby having plenty left over to invest and grow my money.. as such, I expect to be able to retire 10 years sooner than if id stayed in the Divided States..... Im sure you'll have a problem with that though, your ilk always finds something to complain about .

Carlin was clever but was clearly a pessimist.

Take the fame and money out of his situation and you wouldn’t probably look forward to having him over if he were your family member. (More especially towards the end of his life, he got really sour and mean, at least on stage)





No argument here.. and im not a Carlin superfan or anything.. but I dont assess comedians based on whether id 'have him over' or 'have a beer with him' or whatever.. I look at whether or not they make me laugh, and how good their material is... I think when he stated the quote above, he was dead-on the mark, and im not even sure if it was as true when he said it 30 or 40 years ago, as it is today- even though he has been dead for many years .





quote:



I’m living the American Dream; I truly wouldn’t change places with anyone.





That's great, but I dont think the American dream is alive and well in 2026 for most people ... I dont know for sure though, neither does anyone else reading this thread .
