Write this down: HVAC-as-a-service is the model of the future. Nobody cares about the unit; they pay for cold air to come out of their vents. Just like internet; you pay for connectivity, not a modem.

A few years ago this would have sounded absurd, but you’re probably right. It seems like every industry took it to heart when that German fricker told us “you will own nothing and you will be happy.”

Man this is a great question but it’s too difficult for me. The best country singer of all time is either George Jones or George Strait. I don’t know which. Next is Alan Jackson, then Randy Travis, then Hank Jr. Since I’m an indecisive prick, i will give you my top song by each artist.

George Jones - She Thinks I Still Care
George Strait - The Cowboy Rides Away
Alan Jackson - Who Says You Can’t Have It All
Randy Travis - I Told You So
Hank Jr. - Weatherman

One of those is the greatest country song of all time.

I'd forgotten about Vanessa Marcil until I happened across this Maxim cover today.

Well played sir. I’m going with Josie Maran.

I completely agree. There are plenty of other countries with cheap labor who are not trying to supplant the US and who would be happy to manufacture our knick knacks. If we have to outsource some shite, we should at least be sending it to a country that’s not a threat.

Lol sad but true. It would be known as the “MAGA rape case” instead of the “Duke lacrosse rape case.”

There have been a few times in my life when I’ve had a mindless hatred for a person based only on the sound of their voice and their manner of speaking, regardless of what they are actually saying. This is one of those times, and Patricia Millett is one of those people.

Just like he was losing in Iowa two days before the election? Whoever is responsible for this poll should follow Ann Selzer into the sunset.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. I hate to say it, but this sounds very much like autism. It is not unusual for kids with autism to be very intelligent. Does he rarely make eye contact? Does he flap his hands when he gets excited? Or engage in any other types of repetitive movements? Is he an extremely picky eater? Is he having problems with potty training? Does he have little interest in interacting with other kids at daycare? Does he have a great vocabulary but has trouble making complete sentences? Is he sensitive to loud noises? Does he freak out with any minor deviations from his normal routine? These are all signs.

I don’t know what kind of evaluation you got through the school system, but I suggest talking with your pediatrician about a referral for a medical evaluation. A regular pediatrician is not going to be able to diagnose autism, but it’s a good place to start. Sometimes people are hesitant to get a medical evaluation, because they’re worried the child will get put on all kinds of medication. If it’s autism, there is no medication. If it’s something else, you can decide whether or not you give your child the medication. You need to know one way or the other.

I’m glad you don’t seem inclined to follow the advice of those who recommend beating it out of him. I’m a firm believer in whipping kids who need a whipping, but if your child needs help, whipping him will be counter productive. Get the evaluation as soon as possible. If it turns out nothing is wrong, you can whip with a clean conscience.

The scene in The Green Mile where the guy gets electrocuted with a dry sponge was pretty rough. Maybe not the most gruesome, but quite disturbing nonetheless.

In some pics (the AI looking ones) she kinda looks like the older daughter from Modern Family after a reaction to the Covid vax. But yeah she fine, Euro trash vibe and all.
