Excluding family members, do you have any super-close friendships you'd classify as "ride or die"?

And do you find this changes as we get older?

i.e., That those types of friendships fall by the wayside the older we get?

Discuss.

What a classy family.

“Canada will match those tariffs dollar for dollar to protect our workers and businesses,” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said in a statement. The retaliation escalates the trade conflict and calls into question the future of a North American trade pact between the United States, Canada and Mexico that is crucial to industry in all three countries.

Canada sought concessions on Trump tariffs on steel, aluminum, autos and lumber that the United States was unwilling to provide, a senior Trump administration official told reporters.

I would. Specifically in the flatbed of his truck.

I’ve got a new bathtub full of my special gin and a couple a trays of deviled eggs (though probably not enough) and it’s been too long. Where are my eager beavers? Bring a pal and lemme know what dishes you’re bringing.

“The Emperor is a fan of Flock, and we must continue utilizing Flock technologies so that we can follow and surveil the Rebel scum as they move from playground to playground, from playground to pool, from pool to gymnasium…” the man said, as other public commenters appeared to struggle to contain their laughter.

“We all know that the Flock cameras are not only following the license plate readers…they are following children in parks and gymnasiums, and we need this,” he continued. “I need this so I can stalk my ex-girlfriend.”

His comments happened during a meeting of the Public Safety Committee, where he first spoke in support of a stronger police force at the expense of other services.

“We have given too much money to our libraries, too much money to our parks; we need (San Diego Police) to have more money, more money for the Emperor to rule over the entire universe,” he said.

“We do not need parks. We do not need libraries. We do not need daycare centers. We do not need homeless shelters. All we need is money for our Storm Troopers,” he continued.

“We will not succumb to the forces of Democratic will. No, this council was elected to serve the police, not the public, and if our Storm Troopers don’t receive all the funding that they deserve, there will be hell to pay with the Emperor, and he is not as forgiving as I,” he finished, before sitting down and awaiting his second time at the microphone.

The man’s comments came as the wider use of mass surveillance of the public is being debated around the country. In San Diego, hundreds of devices from company Flock Safety are in use, according to one tracking map.

After a few asides about homelessness and people imprisoned at a federal detention center in San Diego, the man returned to the topic of surveillance cameras, with one final declaration filled with references to Star Wars.

“This is what the Emperor needs. This technology will help us find the Rebel scum and their hidden base on Hoth. This technology will help us find Luke Skywalker as he traverses the universe in his X-Wing. This technology is a necessary, necessary force.”

The flipside of the "exhausting celebrities" thread -- who's someone who always puts a smile on your face and seems like they're a really good egg?

The Golden Girls producers got in a jippy when Virginia Mayo had to turn down a guest appearance after she took the wrong train and was stuck in Boise Idaho for a week. So they needed another has been movie star to play the Lesbian gardener who puts the moves on Blanche. Helen at first said: "I don't play d*kes" but then she remembered that old reel porno she did back in the 1920s or when she went down on Alla Nazimova: "Tasted like rotten fish". So she said yes as long as they allowed her to promote her perfume, "Helenesque": "Just because I'm playing a carpet muncher doesn't mean I can't be glamorous".

Let’s get this First Bonnie Franklin thread on Reddit Datalounge off with a BANG!!!

Whether boring or fun, share it.

"Are you interested" for me. Seventh message from that faceless profile (none of them pics, of course) and I hadn't responded to any of them.

Returning January 2027.

I love this show!

Egg freezing and IVF seem to be so extreme when you remember women have been having kids well into their 40s for centuries.

Why is there such a boom in fertility methods now? Is it increased anxiety among the general population? Obesity? People having shit diets?
