...and the little food coloring tablets the Crest representative would hand out so everyone could chew simultaneously and shame each other on the amount of gunk on your teeth. Probably FD&C red.
MTV died in Germany when decided, you had to pay for it. I know nobody who has watched MTV in the last 20 years or so.

This is hand in hand with occupational therapy.
The idea is simple yet highly addictive: collect blocks, cut wood, and merge resources to craft unique items. With no set goals or ultimate victory, Minecraft offers an open-ended adventure that has made it the world’s second most popular game. https://talegrammodx.com/
disappointed you guys gave 'bob lazar' any credibility. he's a liar and may have even murdered his wife. why more people dont expose this guy is beyond me
Have you guys ever done an episode that honestly deals with the reasons why the nation of Germany was in such a desperate situation after the first world war? I wonder if that even interests you guys.
Wow this episode is old as hell, the first one on cast box but I am not sure if it’s the Real Original first episode
I still remember the day I decided to prepare for the sbi clerk mock test. It wasn’t a fancy “movie scene” moment with epic background music. Nope. I was sitting in my room, scrolling through job notifications on my old phone, wondering what to do next after college. My parents were quietly hopeful, and my friends were all busy with their own plans. One of them told me how she balanced SBI prep with ICET. She used to take one ts icet mock test every weekend and one banking mock during the week. It helped her stay sharp for both exam patterns. The key, again, was practice. https://www.mockers.in/exam/sbi-clerk-mocktest

It’s a straightforward concept but still incredibly engaging: you gather blocks, chop wood, and combine materials to create all kinds of interesting items. There’s no clear objective and no real way to “win.” Minecraft is more of an open-ended experience than a traditional game, yet it has become the second most popular title in history.https://gbwhata.net/
ahh yeah.. what he said
Obviously, mothers have to use cruel methods to teach their offspring. My 17yo tabby has taught my 4yo shelter nabbed hound how to hunt in the house, and not too nicely, at that. He is now essentially a horribly large cat when a lizard or frog /toad gets in the house. Billy and I have running bets on who can save the poor cold-blooded corner species first. It can get comical.
The ways cats and dolphins are alike are uncanny. As much as I love both, I can't help but admit how sad it makes me that they share our propensity for cruelty. I self soothe myself with my hypothesis that we use it as a fear tactic to discourage predators larger and stronger than us TO EVEN THINK OF THE RISK OF FUCKING WITH ME.
