I always thought “Robin laid an egg” was wordplay for “Robin farted”, especially because it comes after “Batman smells”.

By definition a fetus is not a fully developed human…

Yes indeed! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Haha we were all obnoxious young punks at one time. Probably why I love Authority Song so much.

I’m glad you like the rec!

He’s always had a big noggin.

Yeah they’re both in their early to mid 70s now. Both had music out in the '80s & '90s, and both embraced a blue collar vibe, albeit in different ways.

My favorite Mellencamp song is Authority Song

It’s Mellencamp

Try like $200-300. Mine cost $286 because I needed one compatible with my septic system. Plus of course you have to pay to have it installed, including having an outlet installed under your sink if there wasn’t already one there.

But I realllly hate the drain trap baskets. I never want to be without a garbage disposal!

My in-laws bought a house from a guy who was sort of a germophobe, and he had installed hand dryers in all the bathrooms plus in the kitchen. And not the modem AirBlade (or similar) hand dryers, but the old kind that blew an insultingly lukewarm stream of air in the general direction of your hands for 8 seconds before sputtering to a stop. It was weird and apparently the wiring was a complete fire hazard.

Married with Children is still hilarious. It’s dated but since I lived through that time, it doesn’t feel super dated, if that makes sense.

Congrats, this is the saddest thing I’ve read all month and it’s fucking Christmastime.

Vision. It gets hard to read in low light, driving at night is tough, you can’t quite figure out how close or far to hold a book or phone.

Alcohol. You just don’t shake it off like you did when you were younger. Now you really think about whether that next drink will be worth the shitty sleep.

Money. You talk about property taxes and 401k contributions more often than you ever thought you would.

Patience. You’re more patient with kids and your parents, and way less patient with everything else.

From the article:

Following her arrest, Manahel al-Otaibi was subjected to physical and psychological abuse in Riyadh’s Malaz Prison, and she was forcibly disappeared for five months from 5 November 2023 until April 2024. On 14 April 2024, when she was finally able to contact her family again, she told them she was being held in solitary confinement and had a broken leg as a result of physical abuse. She also said she was denied health care.

This is fucking despicable. For wearing unapproved clothing and speaking out against male guardianship?! How the fuck is this a moral way to treat anyone?

I’m glad her sister was able to get out of Saudi Arabia in time. And I hope this woman gets justice, but I’m not holding my breath.

Lems are great wide-toed shoes, and they’re about half the price of the Vivos I had. They’re comfy, plus also great for orthotics.

This movie sticks with me. Such a brutal, dark, nasty movie, and it made me realize Colin Ferrell had actual acting talent. I’d never seen him in anything before and had this impression that he was just a pretty boy, kinda like McConaughey used to be.

Like, I completely get why Colm wanted to cut Pádriac off, he was so dull. But he was also so open-hearted, and so I empathized with both characters.

When Pádraic follows the trail of fingers… you know the scene I mean. I lost it, just fucking bawled my eyes out. That movie pulled no punches. It was amazing but I never want to watch it again.

Aside from The Mighty Ducks, any recommendations?

Ooh I just remembered another random sports movie I watched recently - Hoosiers!

…I mean, welcome to the internet?
