  1. Oh OK, good, he didn’t double down on happiness expressivity quirks. He thinks fast on his feet.

    Wheeeee! All emoticons count for overall reputation category upticks. I’ll take the gringo’s 10 and claim the deal was 20. I’m far less generous. Watch out for the own net, emojifiers.
  3. I hope that Walz doesn’t explicitly refer to the laugh part. It’s also exaggeration. Trump’s niece has attempted to explain it as idiosyncratic but related to family dynamics. Don’t go there, Tim. Bad, very bad. Settle down. You’ve made your point. Family dynamics and intergenerational expressivity style are just that; hands off. It risks isomorphic bullying and opens up retaliatory criticism of normative vulnerabities. Let Mary’s and Gwen’s spilled beans lie, m’kay?
  4. Sympathy is awarded as punitive damages, but predictable incoherence can infect the magnitude of allocation of it in unpredictable ways. The most potent reference points as anchoring effect for sympathy in this case are USA assassination history along with the blessing of survival that would impel humility for most, and a present worse off contextual comparator, namely the tragic death of an innocent rally attendee, the chap that got in the way of a bullet meant for bottled blonde. The latter is quickly forgotten. A savvy person could have subsequently started presentations with a sobering moment of silence, anchoring the prospect of toned down rhetoric, and an average person would not seem disingenuous doing so. Paradoxically, would distract from the mere ear scratch while upgrading existential damages evocative of relatable identification sympatico, underscoring the debt everybody pays. Just a few seconds at every mic. A ploy squandered. Too late now. Sure, some of us would rush to the vomitorium (popular misconception I know) but that’s beside the point.
  5. * That’s steam&sauna as opposed to field&stream.

  7. Liked him as Robert Ford and of course the devastatingly sad ManchesterBtS. If you can locate the heartbreaking World to Come (2020), prolly on Crave or Starz, you’ll see him again in the type of role tailored for him, though more a supporting one.
  8. May this be any more precise catastrophic scene representation that occurs regarding His Wormwort. Watership Down! Watership Down!

    No reflection on you and I think you are sharing to be hospitable more than being in any way incompetent, but I must have missed the loopy analytical part (not yours) where the $18 dollar guy who could possibly have upsell-attempted but was in a panic about his missing locker key, combined with the $27 dollar guy that already stated his usual $54 fee yet did (shockingly!) attempt an upsell supports anything but the logical probability that a low-rate-agreement guy is no less inclined compared to a higher end rate one to attempt upsell. This language should be relatable to those whining about failure to understand yet going in endless circles about fees. Just go up-Topic and see the endless navel-gazing and bot-like repetition about one of the most boring features of our hobby. Again the only way to support the claim that a higher-rate guy is more out to manipulate is for punters too cheap to attempt it sufficiently to gather trends objectively to actually do it. They won’t; ignorance trumps illumination but you can only lead a lame horse to water. In an ideal world without influence-grasping trollification, best to position actual data as opposed to delusional assumptions against the concrete experiences of punters here that have observed no connection between provider rate and performance or finagling. —- For those many intelligent readers here it’s not lost on me how much a few silly punters will go to the mat and use rudeness to subvert truth to save a few bucks. I’m quite aware a few dollars makes no difference in the grander scheme of things. Why do I do this, should you ask? It’s quite linked to my career and is quick and easy. I just hate misinformation, abject failures among punter groups to relay correctly, and I made quite a lucrative living countering bullsh*t.

    Viagra toxicity alert! Somebody call the FDA. Some poor bargain basement pharm discount PDE5i-addicted sad sack doesn’t grasp that self-pleasuring by normal people is by definition inadvertently mental.
  11. You obviously grasp that an unsolicited lecture may pop on to the podium. By now it should be common knowledge that this prompter is what is seen whether or not entered. Bugs is, after all, the higher life form.
  12. And yours in the lightweight filing cabinet under this.

    It’s not officially that without opinion weight class in common. Maybe stick to the stimulating navel-gazing of daily currency exchange. 😘 IMHO no cause for celebration when advantage gringo disadvantage garoto de programa. YMMV.
  14. Other than the not particularly interesting article content, I would be hard pressed to say that the added views aren’t distorted. I do sympathize that times are tough everywhere. However, how very simplistic to suggest bottom lines are so easily rectified. MickeyD’s is a conglomerate. When can we anticipate the return of more value meals for thought?
  15. Says somebody addressing an anti-science transphobe, each stuck in their particular looniverse.
  16. Correct. Thousands of needless deaths annually. I’m sad for them and for your sad bull-headed bias. Whatever’s in my pocket is always unhappy to see a fake-news manipulator.
  17. Are you? Not likely. This topic denotes a thought crime in my land of sanity, not to mention your robbing my time in the interests of refuting your cray-cray indefensible theories and supporting a BKK friend. Be a good boy and look up the estimated proportion of transgendered within the nation’s population, annual overall homicides, and the number of murders that would be committed by transgendered persons if the ratios and predisposition to competed homicide were to be similar. Then we can talk in an objective non-stereotyping manner, that is, my manner. I’ll even transparently conduct a Chi-squared test analyzing the assumption of no difference and hold it up to scrutiny.
  18. Clark’s Downtown? About the one minor redemption from Bourne contributor. I nodded off eating my Subway, darling. Prefer the Boston Pops. Don’t give me a free rotten apple, Apple. On a positive note, Mad Max: Furiosa for rent at typical exorbitant price but free upcoming on Crave this month.
  19. Odd random media selection over draft.
  20. Now you’re just making up rules. What law is there that stipulates that if you contact your girlfriend to indicate cutting a trip short … by the way that’s only 2nd-hand info and for all we know he may have indicated to her that he made other plans or met another girl, or didn’t want a fuss made over his upcoming birthday, who knows? … that you are obligated to follow-up. It may have been a voice call, it could have been a brief text. He may be actually the sane one while others freaked out when the AirTag they surgically implanted in him went dark. He may be going “WTAF?!” and returning to his hot new leggy blonde squeeze to snuggle. And the sister says he was OK when he made an actual phone call but didn’t give his location or indicate his upcoming plans. WTAF? She indicated relief without an iota of frustration. Not even country of location. I travel for months at a time without family contact and vice versa. We share itineraries with a designated member but do not routinely notify of whereabouts, etc. Remember that for centuries folks just used the letter post, weeks to get a “ping”. People need to temper their expectations. Why just yesterday I ran up against a confounded spa employee when I bought a long-term package for the hot pool and stream&sauna features and she indicated that I would be required to take out my phone, receive the contract, and sign it electronically. WTAF?! I don’t take my cell phone on local outings and some friends and associates refuse to possess one. Last week the bank teller indicated he sent a code to my phone to proceed, after I provided my passport. Similarly, had left it at home. He had the temerity to ask what’s the point of a cellular plan if you don’t use it. (I don’t actually; it’s for back-up when travelling) I responded that I had survived and functioned just fine over several decades without a computer sutured to my umbilical scar. WTAF?! One of my siblings lives in a cabin in forest fire territory and is frequently off grid for long periods. The money I send him bi-annually is used at his discretion for basic survival needs. Another has no interest in any social media platform registration. What occurred may be a consequence of the absurd downsides of tech. Premature to point a finger at the Brit chap. If “thou shalt be tarred and feathered and publicly displayed as a selfish tw*t” is your preference you do you. A ‘schizophrenogenic’ family has often illuminated the basis of a patient’s symptoms.
  21. I wonder if he was, cirrhosis-ly, on one of frequent benders.

    Oh, snap Gert, this made my morning java.🤣 You make it too easy. As there is a scheming Rosencrantz & Guildenstern and Co. Claudius types obvi don’t like to be called out for gaslighting. You might be better off consulting Huckleberry for your practice runs as a Hamlet seems to elude you. On the thread financial topic, jointly put by the non-gullible: “Do you think I am easier to be played on than a pipe? Call me what instrument you will … you cannot play upon me.” Stick to the pipes you know and try not to play within a play within a play within a play. Get a room you two and sort out your tangle of dispatched posts to avoid own goals while I’m to be.
  23. That wasn’t my point and the Papini comparison does not seem to apply. I was indicating that if he had been charged for some offence, say drunk and disorderly conduct, that could breach the privacy firewall and might be appended to the news release of having been located. No assertion by him or family that he was victimized. The more likely scenario is his abject irresponsibility and disregard for stimulating worry after having phoned to say he was leaving Bangkok early to return home, or having some type of mental illness with symptoms of disorganized thinking, perhaps even having been admitted to a psych unit. The sister comes across as coy or short a few deck cards but one only sees the tip of the iceberg in social media posts. She is a grandmother and has adult children older than him, their mother (father’s 2nd wife so a stepmother to one or both) likely offed herself, and the father died soon after. This lad may be infantilized and given a long leash to tug on. He is prone to solo travel but that does not clarify whether he’s a wanderer or has a structured life reflecting self-efficacy, recent events perhaps uncharacteristic.
  24. That’s the way the cookie crumbles and we live in an age where systematic privacy backs family preferences. I think that the exception would be some type of criminal charge. I am sure a lot of folks are curious as hell and I had occasion to see the immense social networking that surrounded this call for assistance. Of note, very few (1%?) have requested an accounting or a rating of how much ado was about something, instead solely pouring out expressions of relief. The only reason I would prefer more detail is that I had constructed a narrative from disparate pieces of information. More interesting that Sudoku. I already know that some of my synthesis is correct but a few Venn diagram components remain ambiguous and I wouldn’t mind some feedback on my analysis. I can’t make a case with them to be granted info, based on my knowledge of their style to date, but feel free to submit an invoice on behalf of Interpol and other entities to cover the possible public payer cost surrounding this. I wonder if his Finnish connection may lead to a Midwestern winter.

    You’re not pissing anybody off. That’s another fallacy, a myth constructed by control freaks. Their freaking out is on them. But I appreciate the possibility of annoying a whiner. That said, there would be no reason for a punter local to be privy to your expenditures unless he put his nose where it doesn’t belong. They are welcome to join here and meet their match; you obviously qualify to set things straight. Yeah that’s pretty much the flimsy gaslighting response I expect from somebody that’s got nothing, Twittergradeguy. I implied I expect to be shown the money and your pants pockets remain turned inside out. I thought I made it clear that I was specifically addressing the challenge of an academic individual I already know to be intelligent. If you don’t want your recommendations to be called out, disagreed with, don’t load them with cynical offensive stereotypes and do expect that they are going to be read through the lens of critical appraisal. My stats prof summarized inadequate assessments best. Convoluted Reasoning & Antiscientific Pomposity. Maybe you know him seeing as you parrot a term that endears me to him. The one thing I know is that your perspective is wrong and a disservice to any newcomer that gullibly buys into it. Fortunately, we can see other examples of sensible ‘with it’ punters here that don’t take poor direction geared to opportunistic lowballing. This is a polarized topic so expect polarizing. Thanks for the good times. This is far more interesting and amusing than today’s crossword puzzle.
