Most people don't know "what" anything is in that case. Cars? Most people don't know what a clutch master cylinder is - they just know how to use the car. Most people don't know what an app is, since they don't understand the code language it was built in. Sure, they know how to use it but without knowing Java, it may as well be magic. Vaccines! No one knows what they are! There's no simple explanation so everyone who's ever used a vaccine has no idea what they are!

The average person does not have specialized knowledge about anything, even things ubiquitous to modern life.

Yeah, Trump is technically right here but at the end of the day, I don't really care if a firefighter knows exactly how every app on their phone works, just as long as they know how to put out fires and maybe rescue cats from trees.

Called once to ask, they said go to urgent care.

Then billed me for a telehealth visit and also the Urgent Care billed me too.

Roan's has curved font, Harris' doesn't. She can hardly claim to have invented the camo/orange combo and I'm willing to bet they were more aiming for the country demographic than Roan's.

SNL is very much a combination of both humor from two years ago and next years mainstream. So many of the skits are built in the gap of "what have I seen lately that's funny so I can quickly write" and "this will be twice as hilarious in a few years."

So, SNL is usually pretty meh because you either like current humor and the 'future' stuff doesn't hit or you don't like current humor and that doesn't hit.

But that's your store. Vance was saying Eggs were $4 while standing in front of a sign saying "Eggs $2.99" and complaining about egg prices in the area, while blaming Harris for making eggs $4.

He could've stood in front of the $2.99 sign to only show the more expensive eggs. He could've gone to a "higher end" store to find those $7 eggs. He could've just stood in a different part of the store. But his crew looked at the backdrop and said "eh, go for it." and did.

Harris isn't responsible for the price of eggs anyway. There's no "Vice Presidential Office of Egg Prices" she presides over.

Anime woman looks more mad though. Like I wouldn't want to turn my back on her after the picture. Real person looks on the verge of tears. Less like she's going to kill me, therefore less attractive.

I feel like I wouldn't talk about that with my cousins, so kudos for the openness.

Didn't have precision munitions back then. Didn't have drones that can monitor the battlefield from across the globe and provide real-time video feeds.

Besides, in this case, Israel is playing Germany's role.

Tell that to the Veteran legally open carrying in Texas who was shot by an asshole who felt threatened. The asshole was pardoned.

For completeness, the asshole was also in the Army but that's mostly unrelated to his racism and murder of a fellow Servicemember.

Someone has never seen Snatch, have they?

I like to dress up. Reminds me to be a portion of myself. I'm not me, I'm work me.

I hate to dress up. The same me who's trusted with people's lives is the same me who sits around in shorts and flip flops. Why lie to everyone I meet?

I like to dress up. It's a socially acceptable mask to wear.
