Was that pre ACA? When we had our kid, we only paid a $175 hospital stay copay. Granted… we’re very lucky with the insurance coverage provided by my employer, but we were under the understanding that the reason we didn’t have OBGYN copays and otherwise throughout the pregnancy was because the ACA made sure it was covered.

None of them strike me as parody…. Plenty of folks behave as though they believe this stuff heartily. Many of them are in Milwaukee right now.

He fucked up by revealing his age?

I’d be totally down. I had gotten used to the Duke controller in its massiveness, so I hated the S controller when it came out.

I generally dislike change.

I literally thought the T was going to be titties, and was prepared to laugh. Now I’m just sad.

The yellow stuff is definitely Easy Cheese. The can is in the background on the right.

For the non Americans

The “icing” I have no idea. At first I thought it was mashed potatoes, but on closer inspection it does seem like it might be ranch dressing.

Part of me wants to be disgusted by this… part of me wants to make it so I can try it.

Harbor Freight is fucking awesome.

I fucking know a guy who claims he’s got no idea what heartburn is, and that he’s never had a headache. He’s about 70 years old and is probably the happiest most joyful person I’ve ever met.

Your house sounds awesome to look at, but my ADHD wouldn’t allow me to live there. Nothing would get done, and my family would die when the house collapsed.

So your manager, in a retail store, that presumably exclusively sold non-flat-earth items, caved to a whack-job who wanted you to be fired because you wouldn’t waste your productive work time listening to his whack-job bullshit (closing is almost always more than turning the lights off and locking up), and actually fired you?

Sounds like the manager did you a favor. He did have a choice… standing up for his employees agains unreasonable nonsense like that.
