Every time I see a video shot in portrait mode, regardless of what the video may show, all I can think of is “my god, there’s some seriously dumbass people out there”. It’s about the equivalent of hanging GIANT dice off the mirror on a brand new Aston Martin.

Haven’t replayed it from GoG because of fear of how it holds up and potential nostalgia disappointment.

Everyone’s got a plan until they get punched in the face. Always assume the other person is better in hand to hand combat than you are.

That 100%.

You can’t change the individualistic culture of the US. Because *I* am smarter than all of *you*, and *I* deserve all the things. *You* can all suck it, because *I* am better than you. *I* will prove this by earning the most money of all of *you*. And if *I* am currently not earning what *I* deserve, it’s because of…

Coddling. One of the worst things you can do to a child (other than total neglect I guess). Give them the security of a home and a loving family, but do not shield them from EVERYTHING in this world. The world sucks, it’s a terrible place, with the rare occasion of good stuff sprinkled in for some good measure.

I really don’t think we need the ban. As long as it wasn’t the driver’s fault, and they’re not prosecuted, I think this is a FANTASTIC way to get rid of dumbass people on this planet.

The solution to most fat/muscle problems (disease, etc. excluded) - way less food (though more of the right food), and way more exercise. It’s truly that simple. You can spend 12 hours at the gym every day - you won’t be a muscly, fit person if you don’t change your diet in a serious way. Or vice versa - you can eat…

It costs a shit ton. I’m dreading my next move because I have huge doubts that two 18-wheelers will be able to handle my shit. I could do a large estate sale and pair down the furniture, but maaan it’s nice furniture.

Well generally speaking it’s about class (or education), time and money.

Meh passive-aggressive. If it’s someone who’s not an asshole I’ll remind them twice. If they don’t do it (or if the person is an asshole and doesn’t do it), when the higher up asks me why xyz was not ready, I quite plainly point to coworker Q and tell them they didn’t deliver the needed parts after I asked them…

So with small variations to #2, you just described every nation state, or corporation. Which actually is very plausible. We’re all in a “cult” of some sort. Some are just more harmful than others.

I absolutely LOVE articles that lumps us all in one pile without giving it a second thought. Everyone at gizmodo/gawker/etc needs to learn what “anecdotal” means on their first day “at work”. Seriously. You don’t know whether it won’t fulfill all of us. Maybe it won’t fulfill you, that doesn’t mean it won’t fulfill…

This happens in housing neighborhoods as well, not just downtown-y areas.

So shooting it with my magnum is not an option then? Crap!

Ugh. The answer should always be never.

Well some moron at some point said on TV that I would get $1400 (or there abouts) tax cut a year, and I’d be able to do a new kitchen, send the kids to college, or buy a new car. Those are the exact things he said I can do with that money. I just want to beat the shit out of the journalist for not asking where the…

So are the girlscouts open to boys joining in?

You probably don’t read e-books then or are blind. The difference between reading an e-book on a LCD tablet vs reading an ebook on e-ink screen is so incredible that anyone reading more than say 10 pages a day should invest in an e-reader.

All medications are available from pharmacies abroad. You just have to poke around. The problem is that it often takes 2-5 weeks for them to arrive. So it takes a bit of pre-planning (i.e. buying a few as an insurance plan). The medical and pharmacy systems in the US are FUBAR for way more than just abortion pills…
