The oil and gas industry has fought back, saying "We're making money hand over fist destroying our planet, and can use that money to destroy you in any number of ways, so that we can continue destroying the planet beneath our feet."
James Acaster is so gosh darn funny. As a comedian myself, I'll always respect him for that time he released like, 4 hours of standup in one go. It was brilliant.
Considering that rich boomer parents are almost exclusively fucking terrible, I'd say having to grow up with them makes it more palatable. They may get some money, but they never got love.
I have a disabled neighbor that I help out around the house every now and then, she's been a smoker for decades. Long enough that she had to get tracheotomy so she breathes through a hole in her neck. Hasn't stopped her from smoking like a pack a day. Because of her disability and advancing age, a very kind neighbor built her a house and gave it to her for free. Her smoking has ruined that cute little two bedroom, to the point that everything in there is stained nicotine yellow, and reeks. That house will just have to be torn down when she leaves, because they'd have to gut the entire thing just to get rid of the smell. It's disgusting, and the fact that she got that house for nothing makes me all the more pissed about it.
After Sriracha stopped producing, I found a big ol' bottle of the sauce I had accidentally hidden behind some protein powder in my pantry. I enjoyed the hell out of it. slathered pizzas, spiced soup, made sriracha aoli for sandwiches. Just ran out the other day. The new tobasco brand just doesn't have the same balance between sweet and spicy that real sriracha does. It's a shame. I enjoyed it while it lasted, at least
of course, they all said yes. invited 20-ish people, hoped for 7-10, got none. They started bailing about a day before, but only 4 definitively said they couldn't make it.
My last party went much like this. First party thrown since the divorce, went all out on a halloween costume party. Was hounding my best friend about it for months, only for him to flake saying he didn't want to drive the 40 minutes to my house. Nobody came, spent over $1000 on decorations alone. I'll throw another party at some point, but I'll need to find some new friends first.
