Googling that, I noticed that Bieber actually has
I IX VII V tattooed on his shoulder, which, I take it, is the moron's way of writing MCMLXXV?
Talk about random ridiculousness.

Are you a Trump supporter, looking for a good time?
Ecstasy pills seized in Indiana. With Trump on one side, and "Great Again" on the other. Let the good great times roll.

Sunday rolled out here about 4 or 5 years ago. It was a bit of a mess.
I was using one of those places where you send all your packages and they deliver to you when you’re home in the evening.
They were open on Sunday, in the sense they would deliver to you, but weren’t expecting to need someone there at 9 in the morning to receive packages.
No more places that deliver to me anymore, so I use a PO box at the UPS store. Since I have to actually drag my ass out there to get stuff, that adds enough of a delay I’ve lost track of how prompt Prime is.

You may not be aware of it, but: Addictions are kinda real, and addictive behaviour patterns aren’t a function of the particular substance/tool used to execute them.
Corporations finally banning plastic straws seems “ridiculous” to you? Have you had your head stuck in a dead sea tortoise’s shell for the past few years to be so out of the loop?

The fact that you are not addicted to video games does not mean others cannot be.
It's ok to start new threads for new topics. It might get more attention that way. I'd be interested in a recycling thread, lots of buzz about these straws.

You assumed (FALSELY) that everything that I posted in much of this thread fell under the general scope of ridiculous. Did you ever take a moment to question your assumption that maybe some of the stuff that I post is just random, or cool, or interesting, but doesn't really need its own huge thread?
As per the thread title: no, it did not occur to me.
Apologies for assuming that you were being on-topic.
And as for your direct personal insult, and reoccurring negative attitude at me, I've had enough of it.
Again: given the context of this thread, it seemed like an exceedingly stupid thing to post.

How do you get a cat to sit still, to put something back there? And how to avoid the claws?

If that’s a serious question, I’d imagine it’s similar to taking a cat’s temperature. You double-team it.

Judging by Reddit, the entire internet flipped on him over the last two days.
I mean, he already had detractors, but it suddenly became everyone.

Haven’t been looking at stock prices, but I’d say early this year was when people started to put his “unbridled optimism” about Tesla’s manufacturing capacity into the “lies” category.
However, that was business. The last couple days have been personal.

Both SpaceX and Tesla are based in California. As of a month or two ago, recreational weed is fully legal.

It's about him condescending to journalists and scuba specialists. Thinking because he's so great at his field he knows more than professionals in other fields.

IIUC, it’s not for damages, which is certainly what I think of when I hear “sue”.
Not exactly the best optics though.
