Lol. That was 2007. I feel so old.

Idk which was first, but it was either blue ba dee or walkin on the sun. Both were absolute bangers to me as a kid.

They are still around in S.E. VA

Seconding the above, I want to say I paid $60 in a pretty average city.

The store I went to is called Jos-a-bank, feel free to look them up but any higher end men’s fine clothing store should have a tailor on site at all times.

There are also dedicated tailor shops you can try looking for one of those.

I don’t think places like dillards or Macy’s will do alterations but I could be wrong.

Worst case the place you go may tell you something like “he only works Tuesdays and Saturdays” or something like that, so you may want to keep trying to get them on the phone, but I’ve not been told that before.

…the US knew about it but allowed it to happen…

I hear this, and in hindsight it makes sense to say, but put yourself back in the mindset of the late 90s. The US was a fucking giant. The world saw what happened after pearl harbor, I believe it was less of “allowing it to happen” and more of “we were so arrogant that we couldn’t believe anyone would be dumb enough to actually do it”.

Maybe, maybe not. Just depends TBH.

“flavor” lol

This just made me think… What exactly defines a soup vs beverage? Solid matter? A bloody Mary is a soup. I’d like to be a bloody Mary.

But in reality I’d probably be cream of something soup, which now sounds more like a terrible beverage than a soup.

I would recommend staring with a tax on income (ANY income with NO deductions) over $1M/year, maybe 10%.

Well it’s already 37%, so 10% wouldn’t be nearly enough. I’d suggest more like 80%, and since the progressive brackets are what they are you could add another at 5M with 99% tax.

I mean not really no. Even without any artificial limits, as people gain education and move out of poverty, birth rates naturally go down.

In fact birth rates in some places are decreasing as we speak.

Allowing everyone access to education and a UBI would cut birth rates. Going below 1.5 or so would actually be undesirable.

See, my favorite is GNU, for “GNU’s Not Unix”.

I’ve even heard people say “Double-yoos dot”, and even that compressed version is still more syllables than the full thing.

Sometimes our body tries to include traits of our ape ancestors.

But apes don’t have tails.

However approximately 25mya the monkey and ape lines split so itust have come from at least that far back.

I know a guy who’s initials are MRS, which is funny.

First left, then right.

2FA just took an unexpected turn.

My state of residence restricts access to certain sites. It’s all bullshit.

Anyway… The ISP is either a common carrier or a content provider. Pick a fucking lane. You can’t have half and half. Either you are responsible for ALL content provided or NONE.

If you choose none then you MUST NOT restrict access to any content.

If you chose ALL then you may restrict content based on what you are willing to take responsibility for. But in that case if someone does something illegal with content you provided you are liable.

I had a review recently where I expressed my frustration at excessive work and unreasonable or un-communicated deadlines, and my boss basically took the stance that how was he supposed to know I was overloaded if I wasn’t working a bunch of overtime?

Like, dude, that’s NOT going to happen. I can be overloaded AF but I’m still leaving at 4.

We talked in circles about this for about 30 minutes and I don’t think he understood or simply refused to understand.

Whatever.

Hey man, just tried summit. So far it’s super quick but it’s almost too barebones for me. But I’m going to give it a try for a week and see if it grows on me.

I do love that you implement gestures

And we had a pretty great black president.

I’m not saying it’s right, just that’s their rationale. I literally discussed this with a middle school principal a few days ago and that was what she said.

Regardless of what you think about the policy, the fact is that your kids will have to abide by it.

Fact: if your kid is being bullied, they need to communicate to a person of authority. Answering a bully with violence is the wrong choice 99% of the time. They are usually bigger than you and have backup.

Also usually it doesn’t progress to a fight the very first time, usually it takes weeks, and during this time you would have many opportunities to tell a teacher or something.

Again, not advocating that this is right, but that’s their rationale.
