Funny thing, as a kid I didn't find them bitter, it was the strong cabbagy taste that made me want to throw up. But as an adult, frickin' love brussel sprouts.

Agreed, but I didn't really think "yeah, he was just convicted of 34 felonies but he's president so we won't really sentence him" is a good look.

Oh sure, if I ruin something then "fix" it, it's totally reasonable that they should then put my name on it as a "savior."

Fun fact; Teslas are in the same ballpark for fire-related deaths; Pinto: 1 fire death per 116,000 vehicles Tesla: 1 fire death per 96,000 vehicles.

Am I really the only one who likes the "sandy beach" crumbs in the bottom of the bag? Also $7 is way to fucking much.

Ah!, right. Jan 3. Even so, every single seat expires, and there's a new house. So at that point they elect a new speaker.

The most uncomfortable I feel in public is when I see Police nearby. Statistically speaking, they're the ones most likely to literally shoot me.

TSA Logic: "Liquids could be flammable, or toxic, or be a bioweapon, therefore we limit you to 100ml of any liquid, and all the larger containers of dangerous liquids get thrown into a regular trash can that we totally test and dispose of properly. This is in no way security theater."
