You sacrifice and sacrifice, cutting everything out of your habits or diet that may bring you pleasure, only for the sake of extending your life. Then at the end of it all, you look back in dismay, in the dismal realization that despite your years, you have never lived at all...

My bugbear with Mc'D's is how they now always ask you if you are using their damned app.

I know I shouldn't, and that they're just teenagers reading from a script. But I just can't help myself. Whenever they ask if I'll be using the app, I flippantly reply, "nah, I don't want Ronald reading my email."

The ability to pay for subsidies has no relation to the source of the funds. What matters is GDP, overall national wealth. And Norway is only slightly ahead of the US. Considering the US's far superior manufacturing capability, if Norway could go all electric, than the US certainly could have by now. Norway's had to import almost all its electric cars; the US can make its own cars.

Conspiracy theories do not generate spontaneously. They're all crafted deliberately by a nefarious cabal of corporate interests to distract and manipulate the public.

This man needs to be sentenced to 10 years solitary confinement in a room with 100 electronically controlled vuvuzelas serenading him at all hours of the day and night.

Hmm, after reading my contract carefully, there's nothing in there that explicitly says I actually have to wait for the passengers and baggage to be loaded before taking off...

I'm sure we could fashion some biodegradeable chains to hold them. I mean...you don't have to hold them down for very long...

"Look at the racist things I saw down at the Klan rally!"

Executives that reject work from home should be composted alive as punishment for their sins against Nature.

Depends, are you an Indian prince that has been kept in isolation your entire life to hide the pain of the world from your eyes?

I suggest relocating the Greeks to Iceland and the Icelanders to Greece.
