Red pill. You can make money, but you can't make time.

The annoying thing is: if everyone did this, phantom traffic jams wouldn't be a thing, and even real road obstructions would have significantly less impact and we would all get where we want to go faster, collectively. But we won't, because I got mine.

Absolutely. As someone who manages a small team, my duties are advocating for the people who work for me, listening to the people closest to the problem, mediating disputes between people with different solutions, and ensuring we are all working towards the same overall goals. Most of the success of the team is directly attributed to their work. My biggest contribution is making sure they have what they need to do their job.

Right, I get that it's not grammatically correct in that context, but the word itself is valid. I had always thought "learnt" was akin to "ain't", but that's not the case. Both "learned" and "learnt" are correct, but the latter is less commonly used in the US.

I've heard it used in a sentence like "When I was a boy, my daddy done learnt me a thing or two about fishin'". Which is why it's associated with southern slang, I think. That's my hypothesis anyway.

Like one of those old cassette tapes with a headphone cable when MP3 players first came out and cars didn't have adapters? Lol

Fun fact, related to this: learned and learnt are also both correct. I always assumed learnt was a redneck thing (I'm from the south), but it turns out the Brits use it too. Who knew?

What's crazy is, I'm pretty sure this is just hyperbole, but I also am not 100% sure it's not true.

Install gentoo. Then you'll be building the defaults for the rest of your life.

I got pulled over in Germany with weed from Amsterdam in the car (I'm an American, visiting my friend). I'm leaving the country the next day, I show them my plane ticket, so instead of giving me a ticket, they have us follow them to an ATM instead and give them 200€. They take my weed, my brand new bubbler, and most of my remaining money. All I was left with was this story.

Another time, was camping with friends for a week. We have an ounce with us, at the time a big problem if we got caught. We're on day 1 of 7, sitting on the tailgate of my car, smoking a one hitter and eating PBJs. Cop wheels around the corner, catches us. Started searching my car, I have no fuckin clue where my buddy stashed the bag. I'm sweating bullets. Cop tears the car apart looking for what he knows must be there, but finds nothing. Eventually leaves us with a minor ticket and takes our grinder and our piece. Immediately after he leaves I turn to my friend "where the fuck is the weed!?!" He's laughing hysterically, lifts up the loaf of bread that was sitting right next to us on the tailgate the entire time, it's just chilling there in plain sight.

As an American, I think the moment I said "which one" when asked if I had heard about the mass shooting in wherever it was I can't even remember now, that was when I realized how fucked our gun policies are.

I don't know what a HD is, but my doctor says I uave 80 of them.
