I was a landlord for about year. We were moving and someone wanted to buy it but couldn’t get a mortgage until their other house sold. We rented it to them for a year with a clause in the lease giving them right of first refusal to purchase at a pre-determined price. I had a full-time job the whole time, though, and the rent covered the mortgage plus $100 more or so. Was I the baddie? I always pictured “landlord as your primary income source” when I think of landlords.

This sounds like something a utahraptor would say…

Pedantic: You mean Y-axis, right? Technically, neither start at zero but I think you meant Y based on context.

tl;Dr “They make them higher, because they get a better elevation to let the traffic go faster”

They don’t explain how that makes traffic faster, though.

They return the shopping cart even if it’s raining.

IIRC, if someone in the line of succession is ineligible (underage, non-native citizen, already been president for too many years, etc), then they are skipped over.

That one’s on me, yeah. My bad.

Neither of these are going to happen.

If you have options where you live, you may want to look for a better grocery store. Kroger is not known for supporting their employees.

Forget green rooftops, we need to cover everything in mirrors! There will be no repercussions from this and it is a perfect plan. Paint all the roads solid white. Give all whales giant, white sun hats.

My lord? Yes? My lord? Yes? Let’s get digging! Whoa! What now?

I assumed it was an attempt to mask videos from automatic copyright scanners. Like, the software couldn’t recognize the video as being copyrighted material if the sound was very different from the original audio.

Yes, but also: Everything the government does costs money because someone has to make sure it’s being done. This stupid SAVE thing would have cost money to enforce and, therefore, it could be argued that it is related to the budget. That’s not a a very good argument, but it’s enough to slow down the process while they argue over it.

You could try turning on Do Not Disturb for all numbers, all the time. The calls and texts will technically still happen but you won’t be notified of them. You may be able to avoid voicemails if you never set it up. You’ll see all your texts if you ever open the app although you may be able to disable or remove it. (YMMV based on your particular phone.)

Have a snack ready when they get home from school. Make it reasonably healthy but it should be something they like. Keeping their blood sugar up at the end of the day makes evenings so much more pleasant.

Given the lack of punctuation at the end of the sentence compared to proper punctuation on the other lines, I would expect that one of these is true:

1. The end of the punchline was never printed.
2. The end of the punchline appears elsewhere and cannot be seen because of how it is being held.
3. The image has been edited for comedic effect (successfully, in my opinion).

I searched for the quote to find it because I, too, was curious. This is from I Saw the TV Glow, a 2024 film.

Are you saying that two of the most powerful financial institutions in the world would bribe the politician who does what the billionires want and has explicitly requested bribes in the past? Surely you’re not serious.

Don’t let John Green see this…
