I have long told my daughters that if we ever get a burro, we have to name it "Hotay." It would be our donkey, Hotay.

Poor video quality but interesting. Legend says the vehicle at the 1:15 mark is still going.

Everyone knows me. It will in fact be coffee.
Good message on compassion, though. It also extends to forgiveness.

As far as I am concerned, the ultimate ear worm. Whenever says they have an ear worm, I tell them I can fix it, then start singing it. Thought I was going to get thrown bodily off a bus at Ft. Gordon once.

I couldn’t both laugh and give a Thanks for this. I’ve jokingly said that if the county’s HR department put spy cameras in our office (veteran services, staffed entirely by veterans), they would find the HR people dead of heart attacks.-

I cannot post it here or I have a feeling the ban sledgehammer would come out, but if you are not easily offended, have a warped, even dark, sense of humor, and have been in the military (particularly the Army) google "213 Things Skippy is No Longer Allowed to do in the U.S. Army."
If you are easily offended, do not have a warped, dark sense of humor, DON'T! But it does beg the question, why are you on this thread to begin with?You've been warned.

Now, I'm not going to say this guy is the brightest bowling ball in the knife drawer, but from what I am seeing, he isn't in nearly the jeopardy the other guy is putting himself. It appears he is planning on using the crates and the pulley to remove the engine, which he will at least need to do from out from under the car. If / when the crates or the pipe(?) holding the pulley collapse, the engine will likely just crush the front of the car, not him.

Dang, that's a fine looking watch my man.
Thanks! It was a gift from my father-in-law a couple of years before he passed. I've treasured it since. I also have his Seamaster that is about as old as I am. My wife had it serviced after he passed and gave it to me for Father's Day a couple of years back. I cried.

Nobody that I am aware of is taking anything away from Pistol Pete. He will always be recognized as one of the greatest to play the game. What they are doing is acknowledging that Ms. Clark has reached a very specific milestone in her college career. At the end of the day, one can throw out all of the "Yeah, buts" they want and it won't change the two basic facts I mentioned above. Congratulations to her for putting in the effort to make the most of the talent she was given.

wording
It seems you see things in black and white, no shades of gray. Looking for the most extreme examples to make your case runs afoul of several logical fallacies. Strawman Fallacy, Reductio absurdum to name a couple. Life is a series of compromises. It is part of the societal contract, something we are taught as toddlers. One who doesn't compromise at all ends up in prison or dead, and is usually labeled a sociopath. To be clear, I am not labeling you as such.
On the humorous side, one can accept that polymer striker-fired guns are here to stay, and keep using their 1911. More seriously, one can acknowledge that other groups, be they LGBTQ, atheists, Buddhists(!), or even vegetarians, aren't going anywhere, and learn to accept them as people-as human beings-with the same needs under Maslow's heirarchy as you. Accept that if they treat you civilly, you will treat them civilly.
Note that @Forty Rod SASS 3935 pointed out not making big changes and settling for partial fixes. I agree with him that the best option is likely a combination of #2 and #3. Fix what you can, change to your level of comfort and ability while remaining true to yourself, and move on with life.
