                Okay, thanks. Well, if you enjoy avatar making, go to.

                (Still, the thought of Joyce being related to the infamous Donners on her mother’s side of the family amuses me. It would also explain much.)

            In re. Billie vs. Ruth – I’m sure she does. We see a bully; she sees someone who’s keeping order. Since she has no patience for anything that interferes with her college education even a little, I’m sure she appreciates that.

      I would not be sticking my tongue out if someone shoved dog poop under my nose. The risks of getting dog poop on your tongue are far too great doing that. And dog poop leaves an aftertaste that doesn’t go away for hours, no matter what you try to cover it up with.

      I am not speaking from experience.

      Liklihood of that being the case: About the same as Willis suddenly filing for divorce on the pretense that his wife said that Autobot Erector should win the TF Hall of Fame this year.

      Actually, I don’t really know the liklihood of that (apologies all around). But I’m too lazy to backspace, so I shall use a different analogy:

      It’s about 3,720 to 1.

    As DW pointed out, Sarah HAS seen Billie in public before (at the RA meeting), so she could be thinking many things:

    1. This is one of Joyce’s friends. Bleh.
    2. This is a freshman. Bleh.
    3. This girl is obviously an (underage) drunk. Bleh.
    4. This is the girl who started a fight with the RA. Bleh.
    5. This is the girl who thinks that being a cheerleader is a big deal. Bleh.
    6. This is the girl who yelled in Joyce’s FAAAAACE after Joyce tried to help her after Ruth threw her. Bleh.
    7. I hate people. Bleh.

      Yeah, that’s why I gigglesnort’d, because I think Sarah HAS remembered seeing Billie before (and Billie, self-centered as she is, did not notice because she doesn’t give a flying f*ck about anybody else but herself), knows Billie fulfills the cheer-leader stereotype to a “T”, and is probably all “DO NOT WANT. BLEEEEEEEH.”

      I don’t see why Wasabi has the reputation it does. It’s just flavorful. Nothing unpleasant about it.

        I tried wasabi due to its rep but I found that I don’t particularly like the taste of it, at least it’s not as disgusting as mayo.

        It is powerfully flavorful. For one such as myself, who doesn’t like spicy foods, it can be downright crippling. Namely, eating a glob of wasabi is not something you’d like to do.

          I, for one, love spicy food. Wasabi was one of those condiments my friends and I used to dare one another to stuff in our mouths. We killed so many taste buds back then. Good times

    I don’t usually party. I’ve been to a frat a grand total of once, refused to play beer pong, danced quite a lot, and kept an eye on my more drunken friends to make sure they didn’t do anything unsafe. I however, see nothing at all wrong with getting drunk sometimes. I don’t do the big party thing, but getting drunk with a few friends, ten maybe, in a safe environment with hilarious outcomes? I see nothing wrong with that. I think a few of the other commentators here have come off as kind of overly aggressive and judgmental (at least to me), and so i just kind of wanted to say that. I know that sort of thing isn’t what billie is referring to, but a lot of people here seem to have jumped on the whole “drinking is ok, getting drunk is bad” bandwagon, and I just don’t feel like that’s necessarily fair. I get drunk maybe once every two months or so, and I always do it responsibly, and I just don’t see anything wrong with that. Again, I get that I’m not the typical extreme that is being discussed here, but I just felt like saying that you don’t necessarily have to avoid getting drunk to be above that sort of scene, and that there is nothing morally wrong with it in my book, as long as it’s not being used as an escape (in which case it’s more dangerous than morally wrong).

Here's an entertaining cite at the bottom of the first page
The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset. See Trump v. United States,
603 U.S. 593, 630 (2024).

You Can’t Even Watch A Movie Anymore Without Seeing Some Theme Explored
I’ve loved movies ever since I was a little kid. Just stepping into that dark theater, with the smell of fresh popcorn, was like being transported to a whole other world. It used to be so magical. But now I’m thinking about boycotting movies altogether. Why? Because I can’t seem to watch one anymore without […]

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908. "You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."

AI generated ad by a company called Travello showing the 10 most visited cities in Europe, except the cities are hilariously poorly placed. London is in Wales, Paris is in Ireland, Rome is in France, Rom (yes like Rome but without an E) is in Spain, Barcelona is in Morocco, Prague is in Germany, Vienna is in Italy, Istanbul is in Austria, Milan is in Libya, and Antalya is correctly shown as in Turkey but is in the wrong place. Also a few of the borders like Switzerland and Austria or Hungary and Slovenia are missing.

wilbur, savvy enough to know he's in a comic strip but still not a great actor, awkwardly lifts a muffin up into frame so that we, the audience, understand that he has a muffin right now, which is very important narratively, but he's not really selling it well as an organic, human action
