It’s true. Habitually saying “please.” thank you," “hello” to people can open a lot of doors. Also, it’s just amazing in an awful way just how many people are not doing this.

Wow, he used to be coherent.

I don’t live in the US and within the distance of a short walk, there are no less than three bowling alleys near me. One is public, one belongs to a bowling club and I don’t know about the 3rd one.

Thank you for this additional piece of background, dear FistingEnthusiast.

I want to pet it.

Stare into the abyss for long enough, and the abyss will start staring into you.

Geez, that’s some dedication. And where do you even get 64 working floppy drives?

This is very obviously a US-centric meme, as evidenced by the first word in the header, “milennials.”

Phase 2 - annexation of other countries, or parts thereof - is yet to start. Surely that would serve to quieten the home front, not to mention to make the rich even richer, by an awful lot. Hell, we’ll get to see the world’s first trillionaire for sure.

They must have made a mistake.
I’ve gotten rejected, twice, by companies I positively never applied to. Nor were they any subsidiaries or whatever of other companies.
