Deer are actually kind of terrifying. But since it's deer it's always kind of hilarious when they gently caress up someone's day. I have family who live in the middle of loving nowhere and like once a year the deer just take over their lovely little town and there's not much anyone can do because if you try to shoot them they go nuts and have a deer riot to try and protect their little deer babies and do a lot of property damage. So you just drive through the town and there are deer everywhere watching you.

Some kid was being a shitlord and doing it so hard that a server admin had to come see what was going on. The kid began shrieking at the admin and trying to kick him. The admin eventually banned the kid. The end.

Kid was abusing property protection that prevented people from breaking blocks on his property to trick people into being unable to escape his land. He would then kill them and take their stuff. After he had taken their stuff he would mount their characters severed head in the basement of his house. You can see them in the room with the chests. Apparently he tried to do this to someone with admin powers and the guy kept poking him expecting him to eventually stop screaming and start apologizing to save his stuff. He never stopped so the admin showed him a trick.

I think ungulates in general just have a surprising ability to gently caress you up. The amount of videos I've seen where a cow or horse suddenly glitches its leg in some random direction to crack a nearby individual's skull in half at a speed so fast only like two frames are caught on camera freaks me out. Maybe I've just spent too long in these kinds of threads but I really have no idea how people comfortably stand around those things.

Cows and horses aren't too bad, as they can only kick generally rearward. Stay away from the butt end, and you're usually safe.

Stuff like deer and moose though, they can kick in pretty much any direction. If they wanted, you could be standing in front of them and they could kick you with their hind leg.

That is awful advice. A horse can kick forward and can bite you if you are standing anywhere except the butt. A horse can also kick forward and to the side with its back legs and get you if you stand to close to the side.

Moose are basically brick walls given life. If you hit one with your car, it's more likely to get back up and limp away then you are.

For Minecraft freude there was a guy years back that decided to build a 1:1 scale model of the Next Generation version of the Enterprise in Minecraft. Inside and out.

He put out a video of the completed rough framing, so he definitely sunk a pretty good amount of time into it.

A model rich guy is Garth Brooks.
Guy made a gazillion dollars in the 90's, and then took an 18 year hiatus to build a big house on a big piece of land and just continue to get richer while having a normal-ish family life completely away from the public eye.

Then he just did a tour last year selling out stadiums for multiple nights in a row in each city.

If you get rich and have enough income to stay rich, it sounds like it would be prudent to use the money to better yourself and do everything you've ever wanted to do. Fund new learning experiences (Become a private pilot! Go kayaking in an African jungle! Shoot a minigun!), decorate your house, travel everywhere, etc.

A $70 million mansion is probably too much house, especially if (like Notch) you're a single man with no kids.

I always feel like winning the lottery or getting rich quickly would be like a cheat code for life. A bit like computer games where you have fun doing loads of crazy crap for a while, but then it becomes too easy and what is the point of doing these quests when I'm infinitely wealthy? I can see why people would get depressed and listless after some time, spend all the money or wish they'd never won in the first place. Case in point, a brilliant bit of Lottery schadenfreude- in 2002 Michael Carrol won £9m in the UK Lottery. He was, it's fair to say, not the ideal face of the National Lottery, going on to burn through the money, spending it openly on drugs, women, scary dogs, and turning his mansion's back yard into a dirt track.

This was him when he won-



And uh, later on.



The house he pretty much wrecked-



The Daily Mail and the like were outraged, THOSE SORTS OF PEOPLE SHOULDN'T WIN THIS RANDOM CHANCE DRAW! :clutchpearls:

Also more recent 'freude on people who play the UK lottery, they doubled the price,increased the amount of numbers in the main draw, and have started giving out 'free tickets' as winnings instead of y'know, actual money. The changes have seen the number of balls increase from 49 to 59 and the chance of winning the jackpot decrease from one in 14 million to one in 45 million. There have been so many rollovers and people are PISSED, but they still keep buying the tickets. (I work in a newsagents so get to hear all the grousing first-hand :smith: )


Also, I'm glad I don't live in Deer Country. Poor Dogge. Funny how the deer isn't too fussed (initially) about the cat getting close to the fawn, but charges the dog from some distance. I guess due to the size difference?

I think the kind of person who gets depressed and goes nuts with extravagance until he ends up a broke, fat drug addict probably became that way because of who they are as a person, rather than the money. Like, it shouldn't be that hard to use your money wisely if you're the kind of person who wants to better themselves and help other people. Live in a modest but nice house with pretty decoration (paying for a maid and groundskeepers to keep it clean), have fun without bringing drugs or underage prostitutes into the mix, and if you really can't figure out a constructive way to spend your excess you can donate to charity.
