Fuck, I lived in Israel for a year during the Second Intifada, when bus bombs and marketplace bombs and nightclub bombs were slaughtering civilians left and right, and when I came back, 9/11 happened and I stopped being able to get healthcare under my parents. If you could get over the nerves of being blown up, Israel was a paradise. I’ll never forget how a pharmacist looked at me like I was crazy when I tried to pay for a drug prescription.
What term constituted “mastodon stuff” to prompt your comment? Haven’t yet tried mastodon so just curious.
"Who gives a fuck about an Oxford Comma … " - Vampire Weekend. Apparently you and I do, after seeing the commenter’s sentence construction.
I refuse to accept this and carjacking as “regular type of shit.” Hell, I refuse to accept littering as “regular type of shit.” Soon we’ll be like Juarez or Rio but with more guns.
Yes. I infer that “handy” is an American slang word that isn’t common in the UK, based on this interaction. I’ve got no skin in this game, just having fun.
What is a “head of lettuce handy” and where can I get one? Are we talking about one that you can get in a car, or is this more of kind that you get at a commercial establishment?
My ex-wife once got intestinal worms. The medicine to get rid of them, which has been on the market forever, and which is on the short list of medicines that the WHO says should be freely available to everyone as a matter of public health? $800 for Americans, literally free everywhere else in the world. Apparently intestinal worms are now so uncommon in the US that the drug is only distributed in extremely small quantities, which The Invisible Hand apparently allows big pharma to charge a fortune for. I brought in the worm in a jar in case the doctors needed to identify it, and apparently so many of the doctors and nurses had never seen one that they asked us if it was alright for them to pass around to take selfies with it. LOL.
