Not defending them, even at all, but isn't it 2 cokes? Still obscene (especially as it's in Euros), but not quite as much as before. I'm somehow more shocked that someone would pay 10 Euros for a single water.

$20 for a coca cola? What... I... gently caress Who, who the gently caress would pay that much for coke? Even if you were the richest person on earth, how could you justify that when coke costs like 50¢/litre to produce?

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares(2) we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest(3) began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots(4)
Of tired, outstripped(5) Five-Nines(6) that dropped behind.
Gas!(7) Gas! Quick, boys! – An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets(8) just in time;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling,
And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime(9) . . .
Dim, through the misty panes(10) and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering,(11) choking, drowning.
If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud(12)
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest(13)
To children ardent(14) for some desperate glory,
The old Lie; Dulce et Decorum est
Pro patria mori.(15)

Jesus christ. That's over ten years of income for the bottom fifth of UK households. On loving alcohol, in one night. This is loving disgusting wealth. The fact that this makes me more angry than the horrible drone strike pictures, which just elicit a sense a crushing despair and hopelessness, probably makes me an awful person.

Jesus christ. I can barely believe these people are real and don't just loving drown themselves in shame.

I know I'm late on beach house chat but I wouldn't be upset with someone who prayed for the safety of the people affected by Sandy and also hoped their personal property would be ok, however, praying to God almighty for the safety of your beach house without mentioning the people affected by the storm means you're a horrible human being.

While behavioral psychology always gets a bad reputation (some of it deserved) it can produce effective results and is an integral part of the aforementioned Cognitive-Behavior Therapy, which is one of the most commonly used therapies around and often the only one supported by insurance plans. Its also used in Applied Behavioral Analysis, which is considered one of the most effective treatments for autism spectrum disorders.

IIRC, that was the bar bill for the NHL team that won the Stanley Cup a few years back. Most of it was a 100K bottle of champagne anyway.

EDIT: actually no, that's a receipt from England. Same brand of champagne though. Eat the rich.
