Jason Alexander talking about the Styrofoam monstrosity that will keep the hot side hot and the cold side cold.

Man I wish Chicago had Taco John's. Rockville has one. Bloomington-Normal has one. Hell, I think even Kankakee has one.

What's keeping them from breaking into the city proper?

It seems like you maybe thought I was saying the exact opposite of what I was trying to say. I'm not sure if that's your error or mine, so let me be clear: "Social construct" doesn't mean "not real", it means "important to consider when dealing with other people".

Race being a social construct does not make slurs any more permissible to use.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

yeah, that's the problem

...which is much more likely in a walkable community where people actually see each other every day instead of locking themselves away in metal boxes.

You remember the way hipsters dressed in the aughts? Thrifted tweeds, patched jeans, work boots? That's how I dressed before it was cool. And still now, long after it stopped.

If your definition of meat is limited to "animal flesh", I don't know what to tell you. I'm just gonna make myself a peanut butter sandwich.

You're right! Which album is best for housecleaning, in your opinion?

If they're using fake papers to work, they're paying income tax (and payroll tax is paid for them as well) but can't file for a refund or unemployment insurance payments. They pay into Social Security but won't be able to collect it (though I think anyone under 50 can probably relate to that).

When they buy things, they pay sales tax like anyone else.

They pay their landlady's property tax if renting and pay it themselves if not.

 

I had previously posted this on reddit and it's still my favorite.

 

Found on NB Milwaukee between Grand and Chicago. HMU if it's yours and I'll get it back to you.

Inb4 yes I already posted to the subreddit as well. I went back to reddit for this and I feel dirty.

 
 

Neither seems to be inspired by the other, but share a lot of imagery and mechanics. Do they both owe a common precursor? Or is it the collective unconscious at work?
