Party affiliation as listed on voter registration isn’t a loyalty oath either. It’s just a way of asking which primaries you want to vote in. You might as well pick a party with relevant primaries in your area whether you agree with their platform or not.

(Voter registration is public information and may affect which candidates and PACs send you mail.)

So I’m a male, fertile so far as I know. Suppose I walked into the county courthouse, hand in hand with my sexy sister and asked for a marriage license. Naturally, the clerk would say “GTFO you disgusting freaks. You’s brother and sister and we don’t need no more incest babies in this county.” If I came back the next day with my beautiful brother, the clerk, seeing that our union would produce no natural offspring, agrees that love is love and we just need to sign and notarize these forms.

They’re trying to capture the consumer surplus. Normally, a seller can have either high margins and low volume, or low margins and high volume. The retailers wet dream is to get the benefits of both. If the reward program profiles you as someone who buys coffee at $4.00, but not at $6.00, you’ll get coupons for coffee that the people who buy coffee every week regardless of price won’t get.

I assumed the only reason we don’t already is because of the ethical issues with subjecting human women to the practices that make bovine milk economical.

How do you feel about 5318008?

Your #1 is the etymological meaning of the word. For precise usage, there should be at least some element of #2, lest you inadvertently misclassify a misanthrope who hates everybody. That’s assuming you’re using a gender-inclusive sense of the word ‘guy’; anyone can be a misogynist.

OK, but make every expensive bullet come with a voucher for 1000 free rounds at a training range.

It’s true I don’t need crates of ammo for self defense, but I might need to send that many downrange to make one bullet count when I really need it to, without endangering innocent bystanders.

I tried sliding the control rod in and out of the steering column, but nothing happened. I think it’s stuck.

Because I didn’t notice that. Edited.

Yeah, I’m just proud of myself because I fixed my house like a big boy tonight. Don’t worry, there’s still plenty of problems with my shitty house, but tonight I have a warm shitty house.
