Is it so hard to be there for your partner who is clearly blinded by grief even if you don't have the moment when you say, "I told you so, honey!" Just be there for her and spend less time posting about it on the Internet.

Yeah, when the reason the person is upset is because of a spoiled brat with no concept of consequences. I wouldn't be saying "I told you so", but I would be laying out for her just how badly things could go, and how it was the niece's fault. Just like this guy. Because if you can brace them for the worst, your partner will be less devastated in the long term. It's like getting a cancer diagnosis and telling them it's nothing vs. saying you have five months to live. If you say it's nothing, they're going to be blindsided.

The icing on the Schaden-cake is that the Ravens should have been flagged for a neutral zone violation on the snap, and that the runner might have gone out of bounds.

Funny story behind this. Stevie Ray and his brother had been cutting a promo on another tag team and they were supposed to cut to a backstage segment. Since this was late era WCW and nobody gave a poo poo, they took forever to cut so Stevie Ray had to look like that with the camera lingering on his face for way too long. He ends up moving off screen really quickly just as he starts to laugh.

Another funny WCW promo. Booker T cuts a promo live and drops the N bomb on Hulk Hogan. The expressions on the faces of everyone but Stevie Ray are amazing as they just realised that he had accidentally called someone a nigga on a live PPV.

Guess it's time to buy a dashcam. Talk about a little sociopath. Criminal charges? Reporting the guy to work in an accident you staged? She needs to go to jail and if the wife continues to defend her it's time for divorce because you don't want someone that will defend any behaviour raising your kids.

I'm having no trouble accepting that the niece did something stupid like that.
But the wife being so detached from reality that she honestly think the niece didn't do anything wrong, is somewhat hard to swallow.

Edit VVV: Yeah, that's a good point. I completely missed that.

It sounds bullshit because the details don't add up. The criminal case against the other driver would never go to court, because he would have shown the dashcam footage to the police/prosecution and he never would have been charged in the first place. Also people can't just fake injuries in criminal proceedings, she would have to undergo some kind of examination to determine the extent and severity of her injuries.

I was thinking the same thing. You would think if you had dashcam video of the accident, that would be the first thing you show to the officer that showed up to the scene of it. Why would you keep it just to go "everything she just said is bullshit!" at a later date, wasting your time and money in court? I guess you could if you really wanted to stick it to her by adding a perjury charge on top of everything else, but who has the time for that? It sounds like something out of a bad courtroom movie where everything is twisted to be more dramatic than it actually would be.

I'll admit I believed/enjoyed it when I first read it but it doesn't really make sense when you think about it.

Yeah, why would they not simply shut it all down with the dashcam footage?

EDIT: Not to mention they also hired a PI.

I like that you can tell that the first thought going through his head was "well, looks like I just blew the best paying job I will ever hold." Thank god there wasn't any backlash against it and we can all laugh about it.

Here's what I always wondered about this. What in the hell is Booker T wearing? Yeah it looks like a cup obviously, but why does he have an outfit on that makes it look so obvious? He has to go out in front of thousands and wrestle like that.

Totally consistent with the half-shafts being mechanically the weakest of any of the systems in those vehicles. My battalion was issued several dozen of them shortly after we deployed, and within a week and a half six of them had snapped half-shafts (mostly more than one each).

Also our Alpha company was really good at getting them stuck in canals. I once spent thirty-three hours in a guard tower because six different convoys had to go out to a fiasco which started as a single MRAP backed into a canal and escalated to two wreckers and a combat engineering crane breaking down on the site. We actually wound up canceling several routine patrols the next day because of how few people on our patrol base had gotten any sleep.

This happens a lot at one of the grocery stores near me. The people who like to feel like a bad-rear end so they walk really slowly across the lot from the parked cars to the store, staring at you the entire time as if they are daring you to have a problem with it. Mentally patting themselves on the back because "I sure showed him who's boss" when the only control they really have over anything or anybody is to cause random strangers a minor inconvenience in a parking lot.


God, this. I live north of Baltimore and work south of it. Every day there's at least one idiot coasting along without a care in the world. They have all day to get where they're going, so you and everybody else get to take all day too. Then there are the ones who are well aware that they are holding a long line of cars up but "gently caress those people, they don't get to decide how fast I have to drive. I'm driving the speed limit."

I've often thought about getting two buddies and each of us driving a large windowless van up and down the interstate and acting as a sort of a "Courtesy Patrol" wherein one of us would see some rear end in a top hat blocking the passing lane for too long by normal standards of course and work our way towards said rear end in a top hat. Eventually with one van directly in front, one directly behind and one to his/her immediate right we would "persuade " this person off the road, get them out of everyone's way, and teach them the finer points of trying to be a decent human being while behind the wheel. Of course, this is only a dream.

I was actually considering posting about survivor series last week. There's just something beautiful about the WWE attempting to make Roman Reigns as sympathetic as possible and the fans booing him afterwards so loudly that they have to turn off the crowd mics and pump his music way up. It just shows that they don't learn since the exact same thing happened the last time they tried to make Roman a big deal.



They actually got the crowd to boo the Rock for celebrating with Roman after he had won the Royal Rumble. The crowd hated Roman so much that they hated Rocky for associating with him and he was supposed to be the badass hero that overcame two giants and a Russian.

I actually didn't see texters or drunks, but I didn't go all the way through. Great video to teach people why to always wear a seat belt though, especially at 3:39. Backseat has two people, one with a seat belt, one without. Guess who looks way more hurt?
