What I find more scary than the shootings themselves is the number of Americans who believe these shootings are actually staged using actors and mind-controlled kids to enforce a gun-control agenda, and eventually global communism and forced labor camps.

Paranoia seems to become increasingly popular and the "PYF Idiots on social media" shows there is no shortage of crazy paranoid idiots in the US. Who knows what can happen when they loose it?

Serves him right for thinking this weak rear end poo poo counts as a 'prank'. No set up, just a bad pun and a very punchable face.

This happened just this morning.

I was sitting in line in the left turn lane waiting to get out of my neighborhood. The light turns green and as the line of cars waiting to turn left begins to move a mustang with racing stripes darts up the right turn lane passing everybody and turns left in front of the second car in line. As I pull onto the road I can see him moving from one lane to another passing everybody before disappearing into the distance as traffic stops at the next light. A mile up the road I pull onto the highway and not half a mile later who do I pass on the side of the highway because he got pulled over? It bought a smile to my face.

What impresses me about most of these parkour wipeouts is that the guy still manages to land on his feet, more or less. I'd fold my rear end and face into a new kind of hydbrid assface organ and bounce it off of every surface between the point of impact and pavement.

Apparently a big part of parkour is learning how to fall and land properly and in that dude's defense he pretty much landed perfectly.

A good portion of those appear to be things along the lines of "a gang member got shot at 2AM four blocks away from the school during a drug deal" rather than "somebody shot up the school."

Yes, it's a semi-voluntary free checkup that includes mobility checks, bloods etc, hearing, sight. It's good evidence for any future claim if I have one, reassurance I'm not dead if I don't.

The results of this check put my BMI bang on "ideal", cholesterol slightly high. She had a go about watching what I eat, exercise, amount of time spent sitting etc. From a nearly spherical woman who sweats when she talks. I honestly laughed out loud when I head she was stretchered away.

That Brunette is Little Miss Snarky McSnarkerton. Is there some story to this? Did the blonde sleep with her husband or what?

Props to the blonde for keeping it professional, though. I would have trouble not snarking back in the same situation.

They are also done for the company to get discounts on their health insurance. My last job did these, and we would actually get paid like $50 as long as we kept doing them every year.
