That’s a great book. I would recommend his other works as well.

Yep. Just don’t have kids.

Of course I would–I was just talking about legality.

That will be rough for people like me who moved out on my own at 17. Also, a million things could be used as a weapon. Scissors? Screw driver (among many other tools)? This doesn’t seem like a practical way of handling the problem.

Oh, I didn’t know that. That’s not the case here in the US, as far as I’m aware.

This show was a real disservice to Taylor Tomlinson. She’s smart and funny but had to play a dumbed down caricature. Might have been better for her career to have no show at all, but I guess we’ll see.

I think it is wiser to keep the legal right to drive even if you do not end up using it.

In an emergency, a taxi or car share ride could take a while to get to you and also might refuse your ride (if going to the hospital for an emergency, for example). Or you might find yourself in a position where someone who drove becomes unable to do so to get you or themselves home (sick, drunk, whatever) and you could help out. You also might decide to rent a car for some specific purpose at some point, such as for traveling somewhere with poor public transit or if you need a truck for hauling stuff.

I like to err on the side of preparedness.

It was common when I grew up on the east coast.

This is how I felt driving through North Dakota, aside from Roosevelt National Park.

Bruce isn’t the villain in Jaws; the mayor is.

They basically only exist in more urban areas, not suburbs. And, as someone else mentioned, they mostly sell garbage.

I used to have a cat who would do this. She was mostly a bitch, but we loved each other.

If they’re so opposed to it, maybe they should just not do it.

I thought this was going to be about how Santa was already overweight and diabetic and why are you giving him more cookies?

He can do it. I believe in him.

If you’re going to judge whether or not species are “okay” to go extinct because they cause harm, maybe realize that humans are also a species of animal.

You are clearly not familiar with how much Canadians are into Kraft dinner.

That was my first thought, but Seattle and LA aren’t “starred”.

It’s going to be interesting a couple of decades from now when all of this is in the history books and so many of the primary sources are memes.

I suspect they know that.
