I was in China once, trying to take a 3hr bus to Zhouzhuang. Instead I bought a ticket for an 8hr bus to Jiaozhuan. Lesson was always write down where you are going.

It's what we used to photograph each other as teens back then. You could buy it anywhere and there was place you could drop off your rolls and pick them up developed an hour later. You didn't even have to leave your car. Girls back then were always doing one half of the heart and getting their friend to do the other.

Mom jeans were big back then too, as were dirt bikes. Lots of guys were wearing fox gear as Jeremy McGrath was a big motocross star. I could see this entire scene play out the same way back then. You kids are exactly like your parents.

I was going to say it gets harder. When they are a baby you literally take them wherever you want. Needs are simple. They are more like an accessory.

When they get mobile and belligerent they break everything you managed to keep all your life. Rip your favorite books, learn to scream much louder, messes are 10x bigger and they will look you in the eyes with NO remorse as they break the law ;)

They were. Im sure I got some on film from the 90s and I know it was around earlier.

The bigger problem is landlords have already been gouging renters. They aren't just going to absorb this one, if their insurance goes up 30, they will raise rent 40

They promised us smell-o-vision by 2005 I thought this was the future!

They should consider moving into their mom's basement too.

The restaurant is called union assembly and it has nothing to do with little ceasers

It's right in downtown and it's more of a wing of another restaurant. When I went it was packed with spaghetti, more than I wanted to eat.

I dont know why they have to lie about it. At $5/8ft board you'd think I paid for the full 1.5. Edit: I mixed up nominal with actual.

I was thinking how it would be cool to develop mobile games that uses the same hooks the pay-to-play ones use. But instead of it being revenue, that money is invested for the player and they get it back later when they're more lucid and less gambly.

So people who have addictions can scratch that itch like they normally would but it wouldn't wreck their finances. Most investing needs a lot of personal information which is too much to ask for I think. Storing their money like a bank is too much responsibility as well, when they buy credits or upgrades I'd want those funds going directly to the investment package. It could be too complicated of a problem to solve but I would have no qualms copying the popular loot box games and taking their customers away if the reward side could be easily set up.

I just think the novelty of these type of displays was up in the 90s, It's time for an upgrayedd. I propose leprechauns flying up and down the river wearing water jet packs, shooting people with their Chicago-style hot dog cannons would be more with the times. What's your idea?
