I’ve still got some invites if anyone needs them.

Two car related pranks:

We lived near a mall with a giant parking lot and cars were always driving really slow while not looking where they were going. We were dumb kids who learned how to take a spill without hurting ourselves from thousands of hours practicing skate tricks. If we were walking through the parking lot and noticed that a driver hadn’t looked in our direction at all, we would roll across the hood of their car and either off the same or opposite side (never the front). People freaked the fuck out and often offered us money. We thought we were doing a public service by teaching them to pay attention by scaring the shit out of them.

We would get the biggest soda cup from 7-11 and instead of filling it with soda, we would put some rare earth magnets inside it and slap in on the roof of our car. That bitch wasn’t going anywhere. People would wave at us and try to get our attention, we’d just smile and wave back. They’d shout and point up and we’d shrug and point at our ears like we couldn’t hear them. This mostly happened at stoplights. While driving, people were usually trying to work out the physics of it not moving. We took it on the highway a few times and thought the cup would tear itself apart, but it didn’t even crack. At that speed, folks caught on real quick and we saw a few bust up laughing.

So do you grow your own food and harvest your own electricity and smelt you own ore to make your own electronic devices to post on the internet that you’re accessing via your own isp?

“Small business owners” feels like an arbitrary line. Sure, there’s those that are doing it because they’re bootlickers and capitalists, but restaurants are terrible investments. If you’re avoiding chains and conglomerates, you’re more likely to be supporting a comrade who is trying to survive in a capitalist country. This is not an ACAB situation. There are employee owned small businesses and work places that treat workers fairly.

I mean, it’s a hot take, I’ll give you that. I can’t agree with it, though. Every line of dialogue in that film moves plot. It’s really well edited and far ahead of its time. Modern cinema owes a lot to the lessons taught by Casablanca.

Inception isn’t that great.

It’s complex for the sake of complexity and the complication needlessly makes the story more difficult to parse. The revelation about there being an additional layer before reality is such an overused trope that it wasn’t an interesting twist and added nothing to the plot.

I’ve never had tuna salad with avocado, and now I really want to try it. Thanks for this!

Children don’t have money, why would the US govt care about them?

They also have a video that is my favorite way to explain how colorblindness affects me:

My partner got a pair for work when they first came out (her job involves creating social media content). I was impressed by the speakers and it’s the same style of sunglasses that I normally wear daily, so I got a pair for myself. It was so nice to be able to listen to stuff and take calls without carry around headphones or putting them in when the phone rang. I was already uncomfortable with the association with meta, but was able to isolate that aspect at first. As they continued to add features, I’ve started being less comfortable with them. I accidentally left them somewhere a couple months ago and decided not to replace them. It’s such a bummer that all the cool tech is now not just spying on you, but on everyone around you. Fuckin capitalism ruins everything.

I don’t want to see these images, but I want to know the context of them. Is there any article that describes the scenario taking place? I really don’t want to start searching for this.

He wasn’t just on 4chan. He was “friends” with Christopher Poole, aka moot, founder of 4chan.

Also it’s possibly the reason /pol/ exists at all since it was created within days of them meeting and having at least an hour long conversation.

What does this even mean? There isn’t a security checkpoint that will turn you away. If you wanted to, you could show up with a sign that says “God save the king. I love the Donald.” There isn’t some single entity that will say you’re breaking the rules, you’ve just got to deal with the consequences of your actions.

That being said, the crowd is a blend of leftists and non-establishment liberals, I would be surprised if anyone took a Zionist stance.

Lastly, read the room. Yes, Israel is still continuing to commit genocide. That’s not the top priority of the protest. This feels like going to a pro-choice rally and carrying a sign about climate change. Our views are likely aligned, but that’s not our current focus.

It says “all over North America” but I’ve never seen them in the Southwest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chickadee

I hate headlines that say “latest shooting.” Don’t they realize that’s gonna be really confusing in another few days?

Tell me of this magical squirrel repelling fence

I don’t see it

Because it would be a shame if the military had to pay a little visit to your country if you don’t.

I Ike Righteous Gemstones, but it’s A LOT of Danny McBride. Aside from John Goodman, every actor is channeling Danny McBride through their line delivery and movement. It’s like Danny McBride directed them by saying “Do it like THIS, exactly like this. Mimic my every inflection.”

It sounds like you don’t like pop music. 1989 is an objectively good album. I don’t know anything else about any of her other music, but that single album is DENSE with well executed main stream pop.

Having said that, should tickets to see her be as expensive as they are? Should people be as obsessed with her as they are? No on both counts.

This happened at my Junior High School the year after I had left, but it turns out it was iced tea, not hot tea: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-04-11-mn-47764-story.html
