When I was a kid, we were very poor. One day while coming home from visiting family in another state, the car died in the middle of nowhere.
This was well before cell phones existed, so after trying to coax it back to life and failing, my parent decided we all needed to walk to the next exit.

I would like to hear about a time someone, a stranger even, was very kind to you without any prompting, ulterior motive, or strings attached.

shit like this is the core of the damage the social internet has done to us
we have replaced actual expertise with "some dude with a podcast who makes you feel like his buddy while he bullshits into a microphone" and now a ton of people think that measles and chicken pox are the same

Same. My knees (with the occasional interjection from my hip) are engaging in an extensive monologue about how this temperature swing is bullshit, and I don't wanna hear it
It's going to be 74F today and 25F tomorrow and I would like a refund on existing in a body sensitive to dramatic weather shifts.
The temperature is going to drop at least 40 degrees(F) between today's high and tomorrow's, so that's going to be fun

Here's the thing I don't understand about Mark Cuban given the following things I...mostly assume I know about him.
1) He's one of the ultra rich
2) He's actually very interested in Health Care in the US
3) He does, honestly, seem to want things to get better

I love Wikipedia, I really do, but sometimes you read an article on a topic you know really well, and you can just SEE the fingers of the PR folks busily typing away.

We once again will have scissor lifts, five point harnesses, and various tree strands for non-binary (defined broadly) community members who wish to croak ominous portents from the trees. Please remember to dress warmly! A Soothsayer Supply Group will make the rounds with hot cocoa & extra gloves.

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love.

basically every college admissions director will tell you that they could throw out their entire incoming class and replace it with a new one that is indistinguishable in terms of grades and accomplishments
I cannot stress this enough: if you or your child or you on behalf of your child treat admissions as a validation exercise rather than what amounts to a lottery you are begging for a massive hit to your ego. No matter how exemplary or impressive an applicant is it's just numerically punishing.

The house also has severe structural damage and would probably need $100k+ to be liveable. I can see water damage even in the poor resolution photos.
Other (smaller) houses in the area are going for $200k+

2. Also I am 75% sure she’s not a nice girl, she’s awful, and also she’s dead and this is her Hell
