I don't think you need to know what shirt it was, to make an assumption with a very high probability that stuck-up christians would be the ones to start any fights in Disneyland.

Ice cream is the only way
No no you're right, it is indeed gross. Show up at a party. Have loads of fun. Some asshole blurts out something like this and -bam- way to make the entire room uncomfortable man, woah.

In spite of their drunkenness, these confessions were mentioned relatively discreetly.
By contrast someone in my brother's physics class felt he needed to tell the whole room that he had a fetish for seeing people getting shot.

I don't understand how people can automatically hate and demonize poor people and not think that someone working a minimum wage job struggling to get by deserves sympathy if not help. Instead, they shame the person for doing anything within their means to support themselves/their families. Like, how can you not have an ounce of empathy?

Someone mentioned that they sometimes get a hamster or guinea pig from a pet store, and then return them the next day, saying it bit them, and called it "renting."
One time I was at a parking garage, ready to head home, and a guy, early 30s, was asking for help because he locked the keys in his car, and didn't have a wallet or a phone with him. I called Pop-a-Lock for him, waited an hour with him for them to show up, and paid the $60 fee. While waiting, he told me that he comes from a very poor family (confirmed when I saw his tiny 1 bedroom "house" where he lives with his mom), and that he hopes to learn how to do computer security and scrounge up money for some college classes. I told him I knew quite a bit about computers, have business connections, and can likely help out with that, too (gave him some other advice about how to get cheap college classes and free online education, too). He said he is getting some work moving furniture, and promised to pay back the $60, and I told him no rush, I'm fine even if it takes 3 or 4 months, and that I'm even willing to teach him about money and investments, and teach him how to earn the money to pay me back, if he's really honest about wanting to pay me back. We exchanged information, and parted. A while later, I wrote a letter reminding him of his debt and my contact information, and delivered it to his mailbox by hand (how I saw his poor neighborhood and house). I never heard back from him, and as far as I know, he's still doing the same thing, without any progress. For me it wasn't even about the money, it's the opportunity to help someone and teach them how to get out of such a rut. But I guess some people are just too comfortable where they are, and working to move out of there, or stepping out of their comfort zone, is too much for them.
And that's how very wealthy people sometimes think about poor people. Plenty of empathy, but more just pity at them not even wanting to help themselves, even when it's offered.

How the brain processes pain. In school I keep a pin in my binder, just to have it. Got it from some table in a class. Anyway, so I poke it into the side and it keeps it nearly invisible. But this time, I didn't notice it had bent when I pushed it in. So I grab the iPad out of my binder because a friend wanted to use it. It felt like my finger was scraping on a sharp Lego, but then I looked, the pin had bent. It started hurting when I noticed exactly what happened. Normally the pin stays straight. And the bend wasn't with the finger, it was against the finger, digging in instead of running across it. So it looked like a scrape like the kind after running sharp fingernails on your skin, but then I opened it and it was like 1/16 in. wide when I did that. Then it started bleeding, after like a minute. So now I have a 2 in. cut across my entire index finger. To think it didn't hurt until I noticed what exactly happens. Just shows how dumb the mind is when it comes to unconscious pain.

I always assumed they just rinsed the larger chunks of food off, then put it in the dishwasher to get the sauce and stuff off.

I dunno bout you, but plates won't get clean or will clog the washer if I just throw them in. In like every dishwasher I used.
I rinse them clean, then put them into the wash for sanitation.
There's rinsing them off then there is literally using soap and scrubbing things off for EVERYTHING. Not just stained things.
Then putting them in the dishwasher.

Could be they use it as a drying rack?

Unlike corporate strategies for extracting the maximum wealth from their customers for the minimum value in return, government regulations are a matter of public record. Put up or shut up.

Maximum wealth also (mainly) means maximum sales, which doesn't mean "sell one thing to a customer, and piss them off to the point that they and their families will never buy from you again." Even car manufacturers strive to build brand loyalty and make repeat customers. Besides, how does the car company make more money, instead of piss off the customer, if the customer can just take it to a cheaper non-manufacturer mechanic?
If I knew what the actual screwed in section was, and gave enough fucks to search for it, maybe I would find something. Maybe not. A third option may just be that they had shit engineers working on that part, and they messed up, requiring a lot of screws. Either way, your claim that this was done on purpose to make more money has as much merit as my claim that it may have been a regulatory requirement.

I do not understand why some people have a different bear colour to their hair colour. At first I thought that, in the example of brunettes, that they have both genes for red and brown hair, but that the dominant brown gene is not phenotypically expressed in the beard. Then I bumped into a man who has blond hair and a ginger beard, which proves this hypothesis incorrect for the general case because red hair is dominant to blond hair.
