Kevin Roberts remembers when he could get a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a drink from Five Guys for $10. But that was years ago. When the Virginia high school teacher recently visited the fast-food chain, the food alone without a beverage cost double that amount....
I don't think i'm a quick thinker guy, but my reflexes are shockingly good. Like i i sometimes knock something over while cooking and i just see it in the corner of my eyes and somehow catch it midair. But in this fraction of a second my inner monologue still goes: i just knocked something over, but what, oh right, i put the soda stream bottle on the counter because i just emptied the dishwasher. Oh no it's also probably the glass one, because i have three glass bottles and only one that is plastic, so this could bet really messy when it breaks, they are also kinda expensive.
And then i somehow hold it in my hand before i fully caught up. Kinda like when you snooze for 10 minutes but have like 2 hours worth of dreams.
I think no one likes to learn things they have no interest in, and it's generally harder. For me it sometimes feels like when in a movie a grenade goes off and all you hear is that loud peeeeep. I know i should listen, i know it's very important but my brain just shuts off, and there is very little i can do. I can force myself to listen but the peeeep only gets quieter, but it's never gone.
In middle school i had this game where i would look at the teacher when he was talking and see how long i could sit there without listening. I thought that's the kind of thing everyone did. I went to a new school and i was way ahead in math foe example, so i would spend most of the time just not paying attention at all. I'm not joking when i blinked once and suddenly i didn't recognise anything on the whiteboard. I was like: holy shit, what happened, how long was i gone?
I’ve tried scrubbing it several times with bar keepers friend soft cleanser and although it improves, it never goes away completely and it always comes back....
I helped a friend with a bathtub that had similar stains , but it was almost black. I have a high grid polishing sponge for email, but it was too much, so i whipped out car polish and it worked.
tl;dr - Black man driving his dad’s BMW is detained for being suspicious because he doesn’t look like the sort of person who drives that car. He is subject to a rough arrest as his mother watches. Gatineau police insist there was no racial profiling.
For some reason I’ve just never liked Spider-Man. He comes off as a whiney, ignorant child that never seems to grow up or mature despite everything he goes through. I love a good coming of age story, but he just never seems to become an adult.
I watched return of the body snatchers when i was around 8. The movie itself doesn't scare me anymore at all, but the feeling i had when i had when i had to run home at night still haunts me.
The crazy thing is that i i were filthy rich, the only thing that would change is that i wouldn't go to work anymore, and i'd probably invest in some sort of farm/weekly market where you can buy actually fresh and cheap veggies and things like that and i wouldn't have to care if it makes money. So i totally get that aspect of it. But pretending to be a complete hippie and selling that lifestyle while you're clearly not, just seems weird
Let me preface this by saying I’m not a fan at all of Bill Burr, but he recently went on Bill Maher’s show, and said he was with the students. He’s also said some inflammatory things in the past, so I’m not sure. Are we cool with Bill Burr, now?
I used to listen to his podcast. It was never the podcast i was really looking forward to, but it was a good filler. I havend listened to it in like a year or two, and i don't miss it at all. It was kinda just noise after a while.
