I hear a lot about humans infringing on animal habitats whenever some new construction is proposed. Excuse me, but we are animals too, they can choose to live with us or just leave. What about our rights as animals?
One of the biggest infringements on animal rights is using A1 or Heinz 57 on a steak. They are tasty just the way they are.
Remember when Disney had the “human trafficking” scene in the popular Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland and Magic Kingdom? Yes, the ride that features pirates. Just look up what real pirates have done in the past. So if you really think about it, the whole ride should be shut down. This scene was removed and replaced with a lady pirate with red hair trying to move Rum to keep the men drunk. However, the war-mongering, torture, arson, thievery, drunkenness, and domestic violence toward men scenes will stay.
Please just leave the rides alone.
Are you the type of driver that backs into a parking spot? If so, then why? Are you saving the hassle later by wedging yourself into a spot while others wait for you to finish your 3-point turn? Are you trying to prove how good of a driver you are with your skill display? Or is the real reason for a quick getaway for a zombie apocalypse or a similar situation?
Why not just find two empty spots and pull through? That way, there’s no backing out or is required. Or maybe you are a defensive driver and want to be safe. That’s probably it. Do you use your side and rearview mirrors, or do you have a backup camera? Which do you prefer?
When you hear someone talk about a restaurant and they say that everything here is homemade, do they actually make the food at their home and then bring it to their restaurant? Why not just serve the food out of their house instead of transporting it to another place? Seems to me they would save a ton of money and not have to reheat everything.
It’s pretty easy to recreate Olive Garden dishes at home. All you have to do is go to your grocer’s freezer section and pick up a selection of Marie Callender’s entrees. Well, actually, Marie’s tastes better.
What are we supposed to do now that the majority of the developed world now has access to clean water and clean air because of fossil fuels? Fossil fuels are cheap, plentiful and because of technology, we’ve made them cleaner than ever. Still, people are freaking out about climate change aka “Global Warming”. Here’s what to do.
Stop using your AC/Heat
Want to stop using fossil fuels? Then don’t heat or cool your house. Each year the planet gets hotter because people are using air conditioning or heating their house because they get cold.
Stop showering
Your sweat will be your shower from not using your HVAC system. Since we have greater access to clean and drinkable water because of fossil fuels, we should now use less.
Stop flushing your toilet
Let it flush automatically buy the natural volume of your excrement. Again forget clean water, treat your house like a porta potty.
Don’t buy groceries
No groceries equals no trash and no landfills, grow all your own food, but only vegetables.
Ride your bike everywhere
Including your trek across America with your family of four. Remember having more than two children effects climate change.
It seems to me that Hollywood wants to turn all of their viewers into a third world country because of climate change. Remember, movies became popular because they were the first to get air conditioning. Maybe if we stop cooling our theaters then our celebrity elite will wake up.
It’s okay to laugh or cry, but how do you properly converse during a movie? Well, you don’t. When you go to a movie, you sit and enjoy the film and do not run your mouth. We are not paying to hear your commentary. If you don’t shut up during a film, you should probably wait until the DVD/Blu-ray/VHS/Laserdisc is released. There are people who are sitting near you that are on the edge of dumping a soda in your lap. Yes, I purchase the option for free refills.
When you take time off do you enjoy yourself or do you worry about what work awaits you when you get back to the office? Do you check your email while you are on vacation? How do you break this habit?
It’s a difficult habit to break in our “connected” world. I only have one mobile phone and I use it for work. I remember a professor of mine complaining about his beeper. He felt like he was a dog on a leash and didn’t like the “chain jerking”.
Here are a few tips that I don’t follow whatsoever.
Remove your work apps
I know it’s a temporary pain to set them back up, but put it on your timesheet as “Admin”. Don’t try to sneak into your email from the web access either. You won’t like what awaits you.
Leave your smartphone at work in a locked drawer
Remember when you were a teenager in the 90s and didn’t have a smartphone and no one bothered you? Yeah me too. Take a trip down memory lane and ditch the smartphone for a week. Your wife and kids will eventually find you.
There is a raging debate on whether or not you should fill up your tank with gasoline on each visit to the pump. If you fill up, it makes your car too heavy and causes excess wear and tear. If you only fill halfway up, you get better gas mileage but have to fill up more often. The problem is easily solved, car companies need to make smaller gas tanks.
Have you noticed that gasoline is always cheaper after you purchase it? Seems like every time I buy petrol for my automobile, the next day it’s on sale. When it’s time to buy fuel again, it jumps up another ten cents per gallon. I can’t seem to get on the cheap gas cycle. But when is the best time to buy gasoline? When your tank is near empty, that’s when. So fill’er up!
I’ve tried about everything there is and will still get burned. Reapplication doesn’t help, it only allows more roasting. There is no greater feeling than taking a hot shower after a day of being in the sun and you find out what spots you missed.
The best sunscreen is called the house. Staying inside a house is very effective at blocking UV rays. You have to stay away from windows as well. Pull the shades and curtains and turn off all the lights. Stay away from people too, that will help.
Few parents are as crazy as soccer moms and baseball/softball dads, but have you been to a swim meet? You would think it would be impossible to coach from the sidelines because the kids are underwater and can’t hear you, but here are a few tips.
As you can see it’s pretty easy to coach from the sidelines for swimming as well. If your kids aren’t crying or cracking under the pressure then you aren’t doing your job.
