I worked at a hotel that had some wealthy Qatar kids visit. They got annoyed that they weren't old enough to drive in the US, so they bought mountain bikes, which were forgotten after 5 minutes and got donated after they went home. Just one example of the how they blew their weekly allowance on impulse purchases.
#3 Sick combo attack from that tree. Surprise drop to shock the opponent followed by an immediate finishing move.
#31 If the wedding is child free, do you still go on a sex offender list?
So they can take pictures and video to brag about.
#12 Who is Amber and why is she trying to put us in camps?
Had something similar happen by sheer luck. I once ordered one of those family meals from a local Chinese place so I would have leftovers for the next day. They accidentally gave me someone else's order, which was enough for 3 people and then brought my actual order. I got enough food for 2 days.
I used to write vague goal statements that equated to improving my resume to find a position with better pay and proper work/life balance. Nobody was under any illusion that the company would ever offer me that and nobody ever questioned or commented on it.
Guessing this is the bit about a Starbucks being across the street from another Starbucks? I remember thinking about it and realizing my town already had that scenario for years because a Barnes & Noble had a Starbucks on the second floor, which overlooked a strip mall that also had a Starbucks.
Did they have an alternate pick for Saruman that could hold up to Christopher Lee? Would the two have simply swapped places and knocked it out of the park anyway?
Trump tower? Yeah, you wanna head up to Biden Blvd, take a right, and then keep going until you hit Kamala Lane.
#8 I feel like that would be really fucking weird coming from a doctor. Sounds more like something they would ask a child on Law & Order.
Reminds me of the bit in South Park where they have a public food drive, but everyone openly acknowledges it's just for Kenny's family.
#9 I definitely appreciated a bar that had switched over to a Marvel marathon on TNT during the slow time of day. I assume most places are afraid of losing part of a big demographics if they don't keep ESPN running 24/7.
IIRC, there wasn't a fight. Dipshit was shouting slurs at protesters, some guy grabs his glasses and runs, dipshit tries to catch him and falls face first on asphalt.
Reminds me of a temp job I had in a warehouse. The manager would give a pep talk about how openings happen all year, so showing hard work was a head start to a real job. The thing is, you could walk in off the street, point at any employee and say "yea I sat next to that guy on bus once and he's my reference" and you would be instantly hired. I saw over 20 job openings and only 2 temps got hired. I also saw a kid fresh out of high school who quit after 3 hours. Fuck Napa Auto.
I think it may be about prestige and/or bragging rights. I worked in a hotel and we once had a dozen rich teens from Qatar stay for a few months to rack up credits from a local community college. The kids just treated it like a vacation. They all had hundreds of dollars in weekly allowance, and they always blew through it all by the payday. Technically, they still studied abroad for 3 months.
I had a phone that developed a rare habit of just ignoring the alarm. A couple times a year, I would wake up and realize there was way too much sunlight from the windows and sure enough, I'm an hour late for work.
I heard a guy talking to the barber one day about how his son had been diagnosed with ADHD, but they didn't actually tell the kid that because they assumed it would become a blanket excuse for bad grades. So I assume the kid just struggled and got lectured instead of getting any real help with it.
#21 "Go fuck yourself" - Tree definitely.
#27 what?
#2 Reminds me of those dickhead teachers who insisted on correcting your grammar whenever you really needed to use the bathroom.
Geonosis was already part of a war effort directed at the Republic. At best, we can argue the Jedi initiated the war slightly earlier than planned. Showing up on the various Hutt controlled worlds and getting in their business would surely cause a war that wasn't going to happen otherwise.
Either he was so dumb that he enabled a dog to shoot him or he was such a piece of shit that the dog knew he had to go. This is a win no matter what.
Yeah, he's in the rough spot of being tall, but not fat. Clothes pretty much always skew bigger, but only sometimes taller. Going to a big and tall store and looking for XL tall is still almost as hard as just going to any other store in my experience.
Let me guess, the current administration concluded that she was DEI hire and a white man would have made it home successfully.
Dude...it better be your first time on the internet if that sounded even a little serious.
#16 Not to mention their first interaction in the quest was tackling Sam and Frodo down a hill right onto the very road the Nazgul would appear on 30 seconds later. And of course the part where they light a fucking fire on a hilltop that can probably be seen for miles when they know they're being hunted. They have the kind of luck that can usually only be explained by being cursed by a demon/sorceror/vengeful god/etc.
He probably isn't a fan of her getting out of the house and making friends either. Much easier to buy her a Zumba DVD and tell her she needs to go on a diet.
#3 During covid, corporate sent us all a mass email announcing a website they set up where you could donate or receive PTO hours. Basically if Jane burns all her PTO because she got sick, she could be a recipient of PTO hours donated by Jim. It still blows my mind that they went to that level of effort just to tell us to fuck off and figure it out amongst ourselves instead of expecting them to help.
