I have the same opinion.
I think that as a society, we have become far too dependent on having something playing in our ears at all times, almost as if we’re afraid of being with our own thoughts.

When I am out walking, it’s just me and the sounds of whatever is happening around me. Don’t just hear, but listen to the birds, distant vehicles, a dog barking, wind in the trees, and in this case, a rattlesnake looking for something to nibble on.

Top: Ok, you know, that’s making it really hard to concentrate.

Bottom: Well if you would not bounce us around so much…

Hey, what does that little switch do?

This one?

No, no. The other one.

This one?

No. Up. Up. Look, see where your hand is? Not there. Yes! That one right there! What does it do?

No idea.

“So there I was, walking nude on the beach. I tripped and fell right on to one of those new beer bottles that someone just happened to stick into the sand upside-down.”

“Get out…”

“No, no, that’s what really happened.”

“No, I mean, get the fuck out of this hospital.”

This one is tough. I wasn’t an Ozzy super fan or anything, but at the time I grew up (70s - 80s), there was no avoiding him.
I listen to some of the older Black Sabbath songs differently now as well, and have a different appreciation for them. Doesn’t stop me from doing some air guitar in the car though.

🤘RIP Ozzy🤘 You certainly didn’t die as an ordinary man.

Splitters

Actually it’s more like, “now we can justify spending more US tax dollars building even larger bombs that will penetrate deeper into underground bases.”

Why? Greed.
And they’re not even shy about it.

I made this comment some time ago on another thread about YouTube ads.
With the sheer number of concurrent users, worldwide, 24/7, YouTube could show one ad every three or four videos, and still make a mind boggling amount of money.
But if some money is good, more must be better, right?

Well… Nuclear apocalypse is certainly one way to ensure that we won’t need to pay federal income tax any longer.

Makes me wonder if it would be a good idea to take down my “Hate has no home here” flag, that is prominently displayed in my yard.

We live in a very diverse neighborhood, and I’m happy to have this flag up. But I don’t need any billy-jackoffs coming around causing a fuss, or worse.

Made even more sad given that, as a child, he likely received the MMR vaccine.

These fools never seem to think about that part.

I checked, but Hallmark doesn’t have a card for this.

…or he gets us into a major war we can’t win everyone loses

“I have people skills!! What the hell is wrong with you people!?”

Because no one has the sack to put a stop to it.
Trump is out for blood this term, and even the slightest hint of dissention will get you fired and dragged through the razors.

Other than pandering, notice how quiet the GOP has been lately.

Block X Elon.

Or do this and save a few bucks.
One day out of the blue, I received a text message, “Dude… I just received my 13lb block of cheese!!”

No idea who sent it. Wasn’t even an area code I recognized. But 10 years later, my wife and I still reference it. That one text has taken top-tier residence in my brain, and the person who sent it didn’t need to go to the store to buy watermelons or go out at night making deliveries.

That’s at least better than his wife. She laughs and points.
