Penguin totally cvcks this other penguin.

Baby goats will jump on anything at any time. They don't care.

Sheep playing like a dog.

Adults, amirite?

Weiner dog pool party.

This dog doesn't let rain get him down. He just has a rain party.

Nice man saves a panicked dog trapped on a divided highway.

Dog really enjoying some pets.

106 From earlier:

The Salvation Army thing really is a sad situation all around. They had a reputation as a get-shit-done organization in a field full of grifters and nepots, but now they've gone and thrown it all away.

Florida Man Voter: It probably helps that their state level (R) leadership is showing some real backbone while state and national (D) is showing all kinds of ass on absolutely everything. Anyway, I'm one of the ones that moved from DFL-owned Minnesota to Trumpland, Tennessee. Tired of treading water and being something of a social pariah because I'm not of the Old Families that own all the property or one of their bought-and-paid-for underclass groups.

I worked in some crappy little ice cream shack one summer in high school. Made a few bucks, but nothing to go crazy about. I scheduled a week off to go visiting colleges, wayyyyy in advance. Made sure it was ok, made sure my shift was covered. Halfway through the trip, I get a call from the manager (this was at the dawn of universal cell phone ownership). "Where are you?"
-"Middle of upstate NY. What's up?"
-"Why aren't you at work! You've missed three days already!!!!"
-"? lolwut"
-"We're going to have to let you go!"
-"Great. Burn my apron and shove my last paycheck up your ass."

My parents were in the motel room with me for that call. They actually got a kick out of it.

152 I still have my very first job rejection letter, from Cheverly (Md.) Hospital. One Sunday morning in 1975, my father told me I needed to move out of the house. I wasn't opposed to that, but I told him I didn't have any money. He told me to get a job. So I got the Sunday classifieds out and found a job offer as a chemist in said hospital. I thought chemistry was really cool so I applied. Unfortunately, I didn't yet have a college degree in chemistry. I was crestfallen when I got the rejection letter but my father had a change of heart.

193 Best non-cash compensation I ever had was while working prep and take-out window at a fish restaurant at Fisherman's Wharf, S.F., summer of 1987. As a non-waiter, for my employee meal, I could have anything except lobster, crab, and something else. BUT, I could have swordfish, which I ate 5 nights a week for half the summer until they cut me back to 4. Ever since, I've had a great temperature sense.

We knew they were goosing the numbers way back in 2020, here's a classic....

There was a report that of the all of the deaths reported to be from China Bat Flu, roughly only 11k had both a positive RNA for the virus and an accompanying pneumonia.

Pneumonia is the real mechanism that causes death from a respiratory virus.

So it proves they have been goosing the numbers by roughly 80 pct.

Which is why I was calling this thing a complete scam weeks ago because it was transparent what they were doing was as far from science as you can get.

243 I get inflation calculators but one of the problems with them is that over time some sorts of things you buy have gotten insanely cheap, some have gotten insane!y expensive, and some simply aren't available, often due to government intervention. The sort of boombox us teens in the late 70s had would cost like $1600 in today's money and you can get something that plays louder and better for $25-30 in today's money, which would be like $1 back then. And you could buy a decent used muscle car for $1500 which would be maybe $25k in today's money, which wouldn't get you a Corolla. But the Corolla will easily run three times as long as the muscle car. Lol

290 Toughest job I've had was on a roofing crew tearing the flat roof off of a huge plant. I was the only non-felon on the crew. The foreman was on parole for manslaughter.

We had to tear off the old roof, comprised of gravel over pitch (tar), over tar paper, over fiberglass insulation. Pitch dust burns your skin. Fiberglass sticks in your pores. I was in the thick of it for 8 hrs a day. Couldn't take a hot shower at night because it burned. Cold shower traps fiberglass in the pores of you skin. Hate to think of the stuff I breathed in.

My father-in-law got me the job. He didn't like me. Only lasted the summer as I went into the Army in August.

One place was a storefront selling nothing but newspapers and racing forms. Also Parodi cigars. Smoky place, lot of noise from the back room . Guy asks,"Kid, you drop at the News Agency in Niles?". Yep. Everyday I had to pick up and drop off a taped up cigar box and they tipped me a fiver. Pre lottery times. Numbers? Omerta.

439 There was a hierarchy, Pimps were the lowest, except for me, though they were the friendliest, then higher crimes. Course a killer was the boss.

Posted by: Javems

Con men were at the top of the hierarchy while pedos were the lowest. Killers got respect. Knew a guy who worked on my dad's farm that spent time in federal prison for dynamiting fish on the Missouri River for resale. He mentioned picking a fight with the baddest guy in the prison as a way of gaining respect as someone crazy. Crazy people were often left alone if thought to be violent.

God cares about your actions. He really doesn't make a big deal about your feelings if you are in mortal sin; he wants you to make nice.

Go to confession. Cry if you have to, but don't do it at the priest. Clean up your act.

Then we can talk about feelings.

529 Same with banks, veterinarians, grocery markets, etc., because the institutionalized graft is so much more efficient with a single point payer. Which is why I think we are now far far behind the capability to reverse this in an orderly survivable manner!
But I sure hope you are right.

Complex systems break down over time especially when pushed by malevolent forces and Alfred E. Neumann clones like Bootygig are in office. Was struck by an interview that Pete Townshend gave, I think, after the Who by Numbers album came out. Basically, Pete felt hopeless and lost but just kept on working and bit by bit built himself back up. He had a second bad depression later in the 80's that nearly killed him but built himself painstakingly back from that as well via work. Voltaire's Candide did pretty much the same thing by tending to his own garden and letting French history go on to its destiny with Revolution. That is about all anyone can really do.

I never used to be a dog guy. Then I got a dog.

Now i'm the guy who says "If you so much as look at my dog wrong I will make hummus out of your adrenal glands and then let it sit in my fridge for two weeks and throw it out because fuck you and your fucking kidney hummus, asshole"

617 Ponder this: we've lost Betty White, and Pelosi still lives.

I watched a bio of Betty last night (made before she died), and she made a point of sending hand written letters to Scouts who had made Eagle.

Wish we had known that when our boy made Eagle.

I already acknowledged you were pointlessly correct. And as a bonus showed two ways in which your statement was uncharacteristically ill thought out.

You've responded by repeating the statement.

You do the math.
