1. You're thinking of families.
2. Walk past them.

Yeah I don't like black people cause a few them haven't been very nice to me.

Dogs are up there with music and good food for me. Just wonderful beings all n' all, unless you treat them like ****.

Dogs are like good food. I want them in my mouth and inside of me. They also taste good.

You want a hot dog inside of you?

That's ideal but my standards are kinda low these days.

Mmm. Ketchup on my mum.

I keep telling her that she's gonna get a yeast infection with that kind of foodplay but she doesn't listen.

She tastes better with mustard anyway.

people really should leash their dogs for everyone’s comfort and safety

especially leashed dogs

unleashed dogs charging up on your leashed dog is a tough and unfair situation

I agree with Elph to some extent. Dogs are objectively nice animals and I don't hate them, but I just can't really like them. It's just that dogs and I don't go well together because they're too hyperactive and intrusive for me. Cats >>>>>> dogs

There’s two kinds of dogs: mine and everyone else’s

Just get a lazy ass labrador if dogs are too hyperactive for you.

What? Labs are high maintenance af

Seems like chocolate labs are high energy but otherwise my experience with labs after having a few has been low maintenance nap enthusiasts.

Texas man, 24, drove for beer with 'mangled' corpse, body parts after allegedly striking pedestrian

Quote:

A Texas man was arrested Saturday after walking into a beer garden, a few minutes after fatally striking a pedestrian with his car and leaving his mangled body parts in the passenger seat.

Paul Joseph Garcia, 24, is accused of striking the pedestrian in a white Ford Focus, sending the body through the car’s windshield. Garcia then allegedly drove another half-mile with the deceased victim in the passenger seat, Austin's KXAN-TV reported.

Witnesses said Garcia, who was barefoot, walked “calmly” from the car into the South Austin Beer Garden “in a manner that caught the attention of the other patrons,” according to an affidavit quoted by the Austin American-Statesman.

I think you should squirt mustard in your vag to see if it burns. For science.

Hong Kong/London(CNN Business) Stock markets are falling around the world after the number of coronavirus cases surged in Italy and South Korea, putting two more major economies at risk from a virus that has already caused widespread disruption in China.

The Dow (INDU) plunged 1,016 points, or 3.5%, in the early afternoon on Monday.

The index is on track for its worst day in just over two years, when it closed down more than 1,000 points twice within a week as inflation fears gripped Wall Street. On February 5 and again on February 8, 2018, the Dow's percentage drop was more than 4% on both days.

Since the index is higher now, on a percentage basis Monday's selloff isn't as dramatic as other drops in the Dow's history.

The S&P 500 (SPX) and the Nasdaq Composite (COMP) also fell sharply at the start of the trading day in New York. The S&P was down 3.5%, while the Nasdaqdropped nearly 4% in the early afternoon. The VIX (VIX), a measure of market volatility, shot up 42%.

[...]

A growing number of companies are warning that the coronavirus will prevent them from meeting sales or profit targets for the first three months of the year. Reduced demand for goods and services, and factory closures in China, are also expected to knock the global economy and weigh on trade at a time when Japan and Germany are already teetering on the brink of recession.

The stock market reaction to the outbreak had so far been rather muted, and US stocks have notched a string of record highs. But the spike in the number of cases in Italy and South Korea, the world's eighth and twelfth largest economies, raises fears of a pandemic and ups the stakes for businesses and investors.

The World Health Organization is preparing for a potential pandemic, said WHO Executive Director Mike Ryan.

Yet you dare to step outside where you have a 1in 700,000 chance of getting struck by lightning. Seems like a pretty risky gamble to me.
