As a U.S. citizen, those numbers seem low to me.

You guys should really be much closer to unanimous for this.

Also, President Pedo leaving office doesn’t change anything unless his departure transitions directly into a long prison sentence.

American schooling is so bad folks don’t even know how to spell 'MURICA!

I feel like to really bust the myth they should have then unfolded it to make sure it was still intact.

“Great. The monkeys are calling me Larry now like they know me. I will tear their hearts out. MY NAME IS CUDDLES, DAMNIT!”

Cow pies

I just paid for one for my son and it was $672.

At those prices, he damn well better be autistic. You don’t want to pay $672 just to find out he’s weird.

I talked to my wife about getting evaluated myself, but apparently that’s too much money to just confirm what everyone already knows.

Years ago I was playing Urban Terror on my server with my kids and their karate teacher. Me and the kids were at home, their karate teacher was at his home.

It was two teams, kids against the adults, and I was sitting there listening to the kids talking. While they were talking out loud about what they were doing, I was chatting online with their teacher and telling him where to find them. I’d keep them occupied while he snuck up behind them to take them out.

Played the whole night like that.

Freeciv. So… Conqueror of the world?

Fear not. I will be a benevolent ruler. Maximum luxuries for all my citizens. I will even let you pretend to have a democracy, much like your current rulers do today.

It varies by state.

Edit: if I recall correctly, bicyclists in PA are supposed to obey all the same traffic laws as car drivers except they aren’t required to maintain the same minimum speed, and they are allowed to ride on the shoulder.

However, it’s been some time since I looked into it.

Where do you live that the police do more than file the report?

Where I am they don’t do anything if a car hits you unless the damage is beyond a cost threshold or someone is killed.

What about fat kids on young bikes?

I do this, but only if I can see their eyes.

I’ve had two bicyclists run a red light right in front of me as I was pulling out on a green.

One was horrified and apologic.

The other yelled at me for almost hitting him.

skooliers heavily tend towards being right-wing, trump-loving, gun-toting, immigrant-hating wankers.

Years ago my dad bought an old school bus because he wanted to convert it into a motor home with private bathroom and a garage in the back for his motorcycle for trips to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

Apart from the fact that he never got around to doing any work on the bus and eventually gave up and unloaded it on someone, your description would have been completely accurate.

Someone who wants to freak out the audience, obviously.

That ‘r’ is doing a lot of work.

You mean those green flowers?

For anyone who didn’t see the reports, I believe this is what is being referenced.

The last time one of these folks wanted to buy my house, They were calling me, my wife, and my brother (which was particularly strange since he doesn’t live near me and has nothing to do with my house).

I finally responded so they’d leave my brother alone. I told them I wouldn’t entertain any offer less than $1 million.

My house is not worth $1 million. Maybe if it was in absolutely perfect shape. It’s a Victorian house. It used to be the pastor’s rectory for a church across the street. When the church wanted to tear it down to build an addition, they moved it instead.

However, it probably needs around $200k-$300k of work to get it to perfect shape.

They can pry my ~3% fixed rate mortgage out of my cold, dead hands. I’m not selling it unless I get enough to buy the next place without a mortgage.

Just because they are called “public” it doesn’t mean they’re owned by the public. It’s a non profit created to produce media for public consumption, but they still have bills to pay, employees, etc.

If they have content for streaming or DVD sales or (probably more likely) licensing to other PBS stations, they need to get income from it to maximize their ability to continue to produce the free broadcasts they were created for.
