Back then seems like a better option would just be a dude in the back with a machine gun.

stuffing money into wheelbarrow “Well it’s dangerous to just let anyone make it? What if they made it wrong or mishandled it. It seems like we’re being greedy but we just care about the product and patients”
I’ve come to the conclusion everything’s just all fucked. Unless everyone was on board with just being good people and everyone pulling their weight there is no way to stop greed and corruption.

Reply to TIL American WW2 airplanes were sent to war unpainted starting in 1943. The polished surface made the planes faster and lighter, giving more range to all planes and more cargo hold for the bombers by PatmygroinB
Yeah but the flames painted on them made them go faster so it’s a trade off. Plus the sexy lady’s painted on them made the men’s hearts and penis fight for freedom harder. Go get ‘em boys!

I think I get what you mean. I’ll have to look up what a visa is bc I’m still somewhat confused. Like I get you need a passport to enter a country but you also need a visa? And the Japanese passport works as a visa for most countries?

I unfortunately grew up in a very strict religion that believed Christmas was the devils work or pagan whatever. It’s always weird to me when churches start competing for who can be more strict to earn gods love.
Like we’re all gods children, but I’m his favorite.

Reply to TIL: The final night of women's figure skating in 1994's Winter Olympics is the 6th highest rated TV broadcast in US history.

Reply to TIL "Hey Jude" evolved from the song "Hey Jules" which Paul McCartney wrote for John Lennon's son, Julian, to comfort him while Lennon and his wife were getting separated, He recorded first part of the song on his way to Cynthia and Julian in his Car with a recorder installed in his car's dashboard. by Knight_TheRider
John Lennon wasnt that nice to Julian. Also he didn’t leave anything to that son either. Yoko was terrible toward Julian giving him a check for one dollar stating it was all he deserved to get of his fathers money. She also sold a bunch of stuff that was suppose to go to him and I believe Paul bought it back for Julian
People think of John Lennon as some saint but that was more a show he put on. And put it on he did. Not saying he was horrible but rather just not a saint.

Paul was also nicer to Julian that his dad and step mother. John was actually kind of a dick to his son. And his son spoke out about this also.

Cars don’t rust as much as they use to. Mainly bc of lighter metals and more rust resistant metals.
People that religiously get their cars washed will hate this post though. I have a decent scratch on my car that goes to the metal. I live in Wisconsin. It’s been two years and it’s finally starting to rust. I should really fix it.
