I’m worried about internet security. So every time I open a page I use a tor browser session just for that link. When I’m done I smash my computer with a hammer and get a new one for the next website.

You asshole. You made me have to login to my google account, which I never use, to give you a star.

As a kid several times I stared at the sun for a good long time. Like 30 seconds or so. Full sun, no eclipse. Not really sure why, other than I wasn’t supposed to I guess. Anyway as best I can tell it didn’t harm my vision. I’d have spots for a bit and they’d wear off. What I remember is that after a few seconds…

They’d have to be literate first.

My child would have died from malnutrition if it were not for peanut butter and honey sandwiches. Kid is weird.

I cannot image how pissed I be. And especially the hard sell to try to get your consent. Good on you for refusing this bullshit.

The funny thing id how worked up they’re getting over the concept of humiliation. Like we should have a duel over this to restore honor. States are supposed to act in their best interests, not like emotional teenagers. This doesn’t hurt us. If Iranian media wants to crow about this, let ‘em. How does that affect us on…

We have an interesting sleazy setup in my small town. The cops have a list of authorized tow companies to call. They go through the list in order, so each gets a turn. One shop has created something like 5 separate companies, one for each truck, so they pack the list.

Relevant:

Not as bad, but close: within a few days of learning stick I was driving in San Francisco. Car was dependable, so it was all me. And almost 30 years later I can see myself at that light, feeling like I was on a 45 degree incline, hoping nobody would pull up behind me. Which of course someone did. And I of course I…

Any list without Fist Fuck by Dr. Know is incomplete. Also appropriate, Glen Meadmore:

“It happens all the time in bars.” Bullshit. He grabbed and held onto her arm while she tried to pull away. That’s the actual first battery. Her punch was entirely defensive, if completely ineffective.

In a high school match I attempted an escape and in the process snapped my head back and headbutted the other guy pretty hard. It was inadvertent and frankly sloppy and I felt bad about it — especially as I could see how it could be construed as deliberate — but we were in the middle of a match and there wasn’t time…

Not MTV but recently I ran across a youtube clip of the freaking Bad Brains playing a 1987 Daytona Beach spring break gig to a crowd of bros in frat shirts and chicks in bikinis. Truly weird.

On the house, with the acknowledgement I could never afford something like this: I'm not a fan of all the white stone. It seems cold and antiseptic. And it's all over the place. Also, does it actually come with things like the motorcycle? I mean, I guess that's kind of cool, but I would not want that stuff. If I…

This puzzled me too. I expect the cops will say they are not acting in their official capacity, and only as private citizens. But since they are acting through their union, it seems iffy.

This is especially interesting in light of his attempt to diminish his comments partly by claiming poor translation (from a Guardian article): ""I did not want to cause any offence or make fun of any of the sportsmen," Tarpischev said. "I am sorry that the joke I made, when translated into English, was taken out of…

No.

Yeah, bad things happened then too, but we are more fearful of them now. And I totally agree about neighbors. Where I lived there were tons of kids (new tract, mostly young couples with young kids, like my parents), and there was just this vibe that kids were always out and around, in an out of each other's houses…

You're a cop, right?
