Who thinks that tattoo is a good idea?
feeling proud of your state is one thing, but you definitely, DEFINITELY should not get the state tattoo in a colour that makes it look like a smear of poop on your forehead
I think the thing that bothers me the most is that it's his only visible tattoo. If you're going to do the facial tattoo, go full Post Malone or go home.

The wedding could have been called off at this point, but the woman also revealed that her son — her now-daughter's groom — was also adopted.

Should be pretty tasty. The way this generation has been pampered would embarrass those monks in Kobe.

Yes, they're all* IPv6 over 5G compliant.




*Except the J&J one, for some reason they opted for IPv4 so you'll have to have used a NAT compatible syringe.

When I got the shot, I told the pharmacist administering it that I only wanted it if it had a good microchip in it. As far as I could tell, this was the funniest thing he'd ever heard
wow, [you]. that all sounds terrible. i hope it gets better for you

Editor's note: A previous version of this story stated that the bear is a brown bear. While it is a bear that is brown, it is not a brown bear; it is a black bear (that is brown). The story has been updated to reflect this.

In Italy, these cushy jobs are known as posti fissi and it's a whole cultural thing. And of course there's a comedy lampooning it.

I think those both denote different-if-related things though. a no-show job is a job where you aren't expected to turn up to work (for bribery or fraud reasons or whatever), posti fissi are jobs where it's extremely difficult to get fired but you still have to turn up to work at least a bit, hence the whole plot of that movie

this is just like, you have a job where you're supposed to turn up, but you don't. for fifteen years
