NPR need to go to the guillotines ahead of Fox. First, in order to confuse the hell out of both groups. second, because they are probably more harmful.

galenanorth posted:I had been thinking about supporting kidney sales to the federal government only by people in the top 20% of income or wealth, so they're doing it for severe greed and not need, but that'd probably open up the door toward Republicans repealing restrictions altogether by removing the stigma of bringing it up that sets a floor on the price of a kidney. You have to pay the donor enough to put them into the top 20%, probably in the year preceding the donation. gonna be a lotta kidney transplants in.january.

Never done enough of it to get a high, myself, though a friend did overdose on it on a road trip, while we had a hitchhiker. (She had a 1 liter bottle of it.) He got to go to the emergency room with us. I was on Tylenol-3 for a sprained ankle.

This gas station chat reminded me of a kind of   story from when I was student teaching. An exercise in one of the RTI groups was for the kids to tell a happy story about their family. One little boy (maybe 7 or 8 years old), his happy story was that his dad took him to Maverick that weekend. That's it. Maverick is a pretty standard gas station/convenience store, about on the level of Circle K or 7 Eleven. I really doubt the destination was why this little boy was so pumped; it was that he got to go somewhere with his dad at all.

Larry Parrish posted:rumor mill says someone at corporate straight up decided the best way to train an automatic quality check camera would be to give people rewards points for doing it. of course this begs the question of why is the guy slicing the drat pizza not good enough. generally the shift or store manager is the guy sitting there. An automatic quality check camera doesn't have the option of not giving a gently caress.

Rhesus Pieces posted:if there isn't already a law against illuminated billboards bolted onto vehicles there really ought to be In some states it's illegal to have red or blue lights (or in some cases, any color other than white or amber; not including brake lights) on your vehicle outside of specific circumstances. So it probably is illegal.

Posted this in the pretty good advertising sucks thread, which definitely needs to continue. seemed appropriate here. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3955716 He was, he knew, an anankastic, a person for whom reality had shrunk to the dimension of compulsion; everything he did was forced on him—there was for him nothing voluntary, spontaneous or free. And, to make matters worse, he had tangled with a Nitz commercial. In fact, he still had the commercial with him; he carried it about with him in his pocket. Getting it out now, Kongrosian started the Theodorus Nitz commercial up, listening once more to its evil message. The commercial squeaked, “At any moment one may offend others, any hour of the day!” And in his mind appeared the full-color image of a scene unfolding: a good-looking black-haired man leaning toward a blond, full-breasted girl in a bathing suit in order to kiss her. On the girl’s face the expression of rapture and submission all at once vanished, was replaced by repugnance. And the commercial shrilled, “He was not fully safe from offensive body odor! You see?” That’s me, Kongrosian said to himself; I smell bad. He had, due to the commercial, acquired a phobic body odor; he had been contaminated through the commercial, and there was no way to rid himself of the odor: he had for weeks now tried a thousand rituals of rinsing and washing, to no avail.
