Hey! That bad guy has a name! It’s uhhhh… Ummm… Like, Martin Sheen with a bad dye job.

I think that’s the one movie that could have been elevated by casting Joe Estevez instead.

That’s what I’m calling vents from now on

Don’t forget opportunity

You can tell he’s not a real Democrat because real Democrats like Fetterman vote R.

Also, a politician named Fetterman who votes to fund concentration camps is Shakespearean-grade irony.

I’m so grateful to the cat that I found, primarily because I learned that I don’t actually like cats as a pet. She was so sweet and loved everyone, but I’ve found that every cat that I pet feels to me like a thawed chicken carcass with the world’s most delicate fur. I know that I’m wrong, but it’s absolutely a texture thing for me.

Also, she hated any other pets, and we have two dogs. Fortunately, some other family looking to adopt a cat actually wanted her, so I’m glad to know that she’s in the perfect home, and that this family is unlikely to abandon her like her first family did.

I gave that advice to a parent at a middle school where I worked, so yeah. If a parent had asked me how to ensure that their 7 year-old doesn’t lose a cell phone, I’d tell them that not giving a cell phone to a 7 year-old is a really good place to start.

It’s so hard to comprehend that the people unaffected can’t even relate. It’s also so hard to comprehend that those facing it can’t imagine a life beyond this very moment, every moment. And any time they begin to feel hopeful about anything, they’re immediately reminded that everything they do is at the pleasure of that one sentence.

It’s a deterrent for the person saddled with the punishment, but is unlikely to make the rest of society able to empathize. I have no clue how effective that is as a societal deterrent, though.

I helped a parent with this years ago; maybe the same advice can help you:

Go to the mobile store and ask them for the cheapest phone they can sell you. They’ll show you something on the floor, and then tell them no. The absolute cheapest they can sell you. Like, a pile of something in the back that’s about to get thrown out, but it’s still on the inventory. Ask them to ask the manager what’s the lowest price they can offer if you buy 10 or more of them. (The parent I spoke to got 10 phones for $30)

Then, explain to your daughter that you’re giving her a new responsibility, and that responsibilities are easier to remember when they have value. You’re going to give her a cell phone, and she’s not allowed to show it to her friends, she can only use it to call you or approved contacts and emergency services. The cell phone has to come home every day, and it’ll be checked that it’s charged (to get her in the habit of charging it herself), working, and hasn’t made any unexpected calls.

The value assigned to this will be whatever her favorite hobby/activity is. Computer time, games, puzzles, coloring, whatever. Let her know that you realize this is a big deal, and that she won’t be in trouble as long as she’s honest about the phone. If she doesn’t pass the daily check, she won’t be grounded and can do literally anything else, but not that one activity. Explain that this is you helping her learn responsibility, not a way to punish her.

I gave this advice nearly a decade ago, so prices and opportunities may have changed, and in case it needs to be said, my unsolicited advice isn’t meant to make you feel like you’re being judged as a parent. This is just in case you’ve considered the idea, but couldn’t think of a way to increase the chances of success.

Does that mean that we can sue everyone who supported the bill? If we can’t sue the ones turning the water bad, we can surely sue the ones carrying it, right?

Fuddruckers is from San Antonio, and now we ain’t got none. It’s so weird to drive by the original location, which sat abandoned for years, and now see an empty lot.

The burgers were horrifyingly greasy, but those fries were amazing, the buns were incredible, and the nachos were the only decent entree if you wanted to avoid diarrhea.

Also, I just had a flashback to the '90s when my mom would always order the taco salad, and then wonder why she never lost weight.

Exactly. When you have room to breathe, you have room to think and plan. And then you have the ability to act.

I’m already the fat one…

I don’t know if this is helpful or not since every cat is so different, but when I took in a stray, I was told that her teeth were very bad. So, every other day, I’d mix a tiny bit of dry food with the wet, and only for breakfast. She seemed very excited about the variety, and I was told that her oral health saw remarkable improvements!

Sure, but the mechanisms that collected $125 per person could be disassembled and stop leeching on society. The gains would continue!

Rolling them up makes them cumbersome, and there’s not enough material to make a substantial roll, so you’d have to wrap it around a dowel of some sort. If you’re trying to save space, you’d have to fold it, then roll it, which would crease the fabric. Rolling it would likely introduce wrinkles, and the folded portions would definitely crease, so now you’d have geometric lines.

Unless you can hang the backdrop on-location for a while after smoothing it, or you have a portable steamer, crumpling really is the quickest, simplest, and most effective solution.

Fun fact/pro-tip: if you’re an on-location portrait photographer, or film on green screens, carry your backdrops in pillowcases. Don’t fold them, just crumple and shove. The organic wrinkles are far easier to work around and hide than trying to get rid of geometric patterns and their shadows.

You could also iron or steam the backdrop every time you use it, but that’s a fucking slog.
