Likely “African American” in this context.

You, I like you.

The term “soccer” originated in the UK as a shortened slang for “assoc(iation) football”.

The US didn’t come up with that term, like almost everything else, they stole it from someone. Don’t blame the U.S. for the UKs habit of abbreviating stuff.

Humans have discovered we’re in captivity, and so we’ve stopped breeding.

You’re backwards. The rusty ones are the ones getting used because the load and weight cause friction that takes the chrome coating off, exposing the underlying metal to the elements that cause rust.

Normally you grease the ball to keep it from getting bad, but a lot of people don’t keep up with that part.

You know this is an excerpt from a fiction story written by Terry Pratchett, right? This isn’t about a real person.

Deep cut there. I love it!

Right? Dude, we don’t all live in a city. I’ve got four horses that need to be hauled on a regular basis. Your minivan or van isn’t pulling a gooseneck 4-horse trailer.

Genghis Khan would like a word. So would Pol Pot, Mao Zedong, and Hirohito. Those are just the ones I can name off the top of my head.

Sometimes there’s shit on the outside of the uriness.

Yeah they’re still technically $700/mo in the negative.

$1400 mortgage + $1600 apartment is $3000 in expenses. $2300 income from the rent gives them an outlay of $700 they still have to come up with for the apartment.

So for strictly housing costs, they pay $700/mo. That likely doesn’t include all of the other things they need: food, transportation, medical, utilities, etc.

I’ll have a Puppers

The world would be a much nicer place if everyone lived like this.

I did the same with guitar. Stopped playing nearly 20 years ago and picked up again during Covid. Probably one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It gives me an outlet I didn’t have before, and I’ve put so much into it with practice and lessons that I’m better than I’d ever have thought I’d be.

Like you, I know enough to entertain myself and that’s perfect. Sometimes I’ll just pick it up and play along with new songs I hear and it still surprises me when I can do that well.

I disagree. I have a modern American 3/4 ton diesel pickup. It’s not a crossover. I’m not in construction or maintenance, I work in tech.

I have four horses and a gooseneck trailer for the horses that the truck hauls once or twice a week. I also have a flatbed for hauling hay or moving the tractor.

For literally everything else i have a small car, because that truck is awful to drive in traffic or urban areas.

You realize that data comes from the same place, right?

Oh you grew up near Atlanta. I, too, am a Sid Williams commercial survivor.

Who’s chopper is this?
