Wes, I can confirm you got all the steps right. You may want to add that the reason the cops prefer you to lay down. It clears lanes of fire, declutters their tactical picture, and minimizes the chance for ricochets to hit you.

Everyone is being coerced. The entire system is set up to prey on weak people. How can the same people that decry payday loans in poor neighborhoods preying on downtrodden, ill-informed, poor minorities, not see the manipulation at a far more *chemical* level with regards to these cam sites?

And, I’ve been there. It’s…

This is appalling. Fires can happen by accident. Tornadoes are outside of our control. We are not at war with any government that can effectively strike us on our soil. But here we are essentially accepting the likelihood of mass shootings by preparing for them.

That’s completely true. And it’s up to me to express my own opinion on how silly it is. And what value will that ‘card’ have to the collector in 3 years when Topps decides the market bubble has burst and shuts down the servers because it’s costing them overhead? If you have an old trading card and your kids like…

Hey! Now, I didn’t expect to come across any false equivalencies in this thread, but that is a mighty fine one.

This had just enough truth in it to be hilarious, and just enough truth in it to be depressing. I’m not a ‘gold standard truther’ either, but it would be nice to not have to result to circular logic to define what a dollar is worth.

I’d argue the site was pure genius. The guy managed to get millions of unfaithful husbands to give him thousands of dollars for doing absolutely nothing as he had managed to trick them into thinking the site was full of women.

I like the part in the post in the middle: “Here’s the full image of 100% of what you’re spending $225 on.” That’s a nice touch. I mean, I can understand digital trading card games like Hearthstone to a certain extent. OK, you’re not getting a physical product, but ‘opening a pack’ could net you something that gives…

Thank god there are still hot singles in my area that want to fuck me now.

No offense, but the only people in this story with a lick of sense are the ones who managed to figure out a way to capitalize on the short, addictive rush of dopamine a that accompany opening a collectible without having to physically produce anything.

This Kinja is good. Good, not great.

Counterpoint: Fuck the goddamn Yankees in their puckered baboon assholes.

I’ve been to Avs games in the past two seasons, and they definitely have ice girls, though not all teams do, yet.

No, not at all. Like I said, cheerleading is a sport in and of itself because the physical demands are just as much, if not more, than many other sports out there. I watch in amazement when competitions are on TV and think more highly of those who have the guts to be thrown in the air, than some aging baseball player…

Well, that’s the thing, isn’t it... and this is kind of what I was getting at originally. A one-note character that is bitchy? That’s just a bad character. Or if a character is only uptight. Or a guy, if he’s nothing more than a skeevy ladies man stereotype - that’s a bad character. Any one-dimensional lead (and…

The Director threw the actress under the bus with that one.

But more importantly, he’s the Director. He’s in charge. And while it makes sense that a Type A character would look impeccable in the office, a Type A character would also be prepared for as many known eventualities as she reasonably could, and she would…

Thank you, every single article seems to omit this fact. The director gave her the option of wearing something more suited for the action and she chose the heels. It obviously fit the character she was playing in the movie and I think we should move on. This is a pretty clear case of bending reality to fit a…

And I agree with her. Of course they’re not suitable for running around a jungle. Anyone with half a brain knows that. It was a very specific part of her character. They served a very specific purpose.

I think it’s a Japanese thing. I remember way back in the day being bothered that they used Times New Roman in a trailer for Kingdom Hearts. I still see it being used in trailers for JP-developed games to this day.

The only reason I can think of is that they might think it’s an elegant/classical typeface.

Shitty people do love to congregate together.
