Following a very difficult meeting with my accountant, I just found out how much it is going to cost me in terms of an "exit tax" to leave Quebec and Canada. No human being in a free society should have their hard-earned money stolen in this manner. I'm genuinely numb. I'm speechless.
MrBeast and author James Patterson are collaborating on a book titled The Most Dangerous Games
It follows 100 contestants competing to save humanity and win a $1 billion prize
Question for the men in the group: do you know how to fix a tire? If you got a flat tire, would you fix it yourself or call AAA?
(I do not need my tired fixed. I’m doing research.)
Here, let me shake Twitter like a snow globe.
Question at lunch today for classic Dungeons and Dragons players.
Would you rather see Dungeons and Dragons die, or would you rather watch the game change, but evolve into something that you might not like.?
And vastly less crime than they’ve been told to expect.
America has to be experienced to be believed. The land of milk and honey.
They’re gonna go home and throw a few revolutions until they get what Americans have.
The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world.
And they are not handling it well.
In the best possible way.
Here is what they are discovering:
Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time.
Free water at every restaurant. Just appears.
Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited.
Free chips and salsa before you even order.
Free warm bread with dinner.
Ice in drinks like civilized people.
Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact.
Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going.
Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it.
Ranch dressing by the gallon.
Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced.
Dental care that actually works.
Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s.
Then they found the grocery stores.
Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.
The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence.
Processing.
They finally understand why we do not have trains.
We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.
Parking lots the size of small European countries.
Airports in every city worth visiting.
Why would we need trains.
The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle.
The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak.
The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre.
The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas.
Welcome to America.
Everything is free, enormous, air conditioned, comes with chips, and has five grocery stores within a mile that will sell you any cut of any animal you have ever imagined.
Write that down. 🦋
Aunt May using the word “mansplainy” is an example why I don’t buy comics from Marvel anymore.
Imagine being so mentally weak that you were offended that a doctor gave you a detailed breakdown of an issue critical to your continued good health.
L to R, and basing it just on looks, not having played the game, Dagger, The White Queen, and Sue Storm.
The White Queen is also known as Emma Frost.
Dagger was always one of my favorite characters, along with Psylocke and Dazzler.
When I was 12 years old I’d wake up on a Saturday morning, watch some cartoons and pro wrestling, go outside and throw a rubber ball off the side of the house, get the guys in the neighborhood together for Wiffle Ball, go inside for Atari and snacks, ride my bike to Dairy Queen for a Mr. Misty, listen to Casey Kasem, flip on ESPN and watch sports with no social commentary, flip it over to MTV, which showed actual music videos, go back outside for more Wiffle Ball, and then think “Hey, it’s almost 3 pm.” Living my best life and had no fucking idea how good I had it.
Russians are depressing in immense detail.
Frenchmen are frivolously depressing or miserable with more adultery.
British used to be witty. No idea if they’re allowed to be witty anymore.
Americans are either greatly optimistic and inventive or bad copies of Frenchmen.
Honest question:
Can readers really detect a writer’s nationality?
If I gave you a novel with no author name attached, would you know whether it was written by an American, a Russian, or an Asian writer?
Or are we all just telling human stories in different accents?
Randos with canned responses are so annoying. Go back to threads where they might actually reply.
I’M NOT COMMENTING ON THE MOVIE. I’m commenting on her stupid statements that drive away the potential audience.
Read before commenting next time.
@corandog Follow the logic, kid:
Her comments are driving the receipts down. The lower the receipts, the more likely the suits at Warners are to cancel Gunn’s suite of movies.
Has nothing to do with “Supergirl’s”content at all. I don’t need to see it to make that logical leap.
1. Stop publishing books for men
2. Blame men for not reading by-females-for-females books
This is the sort of person who claims all art is political, then denies that female editors publishing only female fiction is a political act.
