Now I must know where to get trash panda Lego critters.

You don’t mean Top Gun, do you? That was made with recruitment money and was rather awesome.

really outdid himself

You should see what he saved for the non-fiction section.

Dude, where’s my car?

We saw it after we went to see the shaft movie and got free passes because film burned - it really did that! - at a quiet point with palmieri. We lost the 5 slow minutes in that film.

We saw it on free passes and I still wanted my money back; but I sat through every minute and hated it instead because the tickets were still ours and formerly-poor kids don’t waste stuff like that.

This. The best business advice I can give as someone who started a business is … don’t.

The odds are terrible, you lose your soul to compromise, and ultimately end up selling out or going poor; either way the project is dead or milked by the buyer and you either have money from the sale or no money at all. 99% chance of the latter.

being pet

Isn’t ‘petted’ the past participle in English? Otherwise it’s cosplay.

Are you asking whether you’re having a hard time? I see the interrogative, and it parses like that.

Not voting is a conservative ploy. It’s their best chance.

The process of evolving your leadership remains the same:

1. pick the least-worse option, based on who can realize goals they’re pitching that actually help people.

Wait until you count the comma splices and the baseless generalizations!

I want people to represent themselves really well, through their writing. I forget to consider their feels.

It embarrasses the “ooh, shiny” crowd with your talk of standards and wunderkinder egos.

A play on words or spelling mistake?

, rather then

Hmm. I don’t need to read the article, then.

There’s a lot riding on this. I’d be anxious too.

Where do you gather your hunters?

A world where ‘literally’ was the only adverb people know.

Mandatory voting - how? Currently voting is handled state by state, you want to make the federal government take that over? What would the punishment be for not voting? Frankly I disagree with this

Tax credit for voting. Make it count like a $50 charitable donation would.

If you’re thinking, now, “but then poor people would always vote and rich people would be off sailing their yacht”, I completely agree.

Yep, take every win. And maybe when you’re sitting up late at night and the sleep’s not coming, just think about this win. Just a bit. It’s kinda fun to do.
