Guess this guy is another sovereign citizen, at the very least a libertarian. Nice to worry about how unfair it is that the government might imprison you for not paying taxes when you think you are selling classified military information to the Russian government.

This guy is just pretty spectacularly dumb in general, he sent over $20,000 to a Russian women he's never met in an insanely obvious scam. The FBI agent investigating this guy only had to use Facebook and Google reverse image search to find out the true identity of the women, that she lives with a boyfriend and kid, and has been passing along some European model's photographs to the guy.

At this point I feel they should be allowed to become sovereigns. Sign here and henceforth the government won't protect you or your property. It would be like a mix between the Running Man and Wipeout.

I worked with a fifty-eight year old woman that was completely unaware that there was more than one unit of measurement for temperature, and didn't even know that the one used in the US is called fahrenheit. This wouldn't be as surprising if not for the fact that we were employed at a chemical research distributor where 90% of the product came from Germany, and therefore almost everything was in metric.

She also once asked "Can we ship to Wyoming?" and when I asked why she asked that question in the first place she replied "Because of everything that's going on over there"

I was never able to figure out where she thought Wyoming was.

Well you can understand where she's coming from, noted international hotspot Wyoming must be hell to get shipments to.

I remember a loving Alvin & the Chipmunks cartoon in the 80s where they ended an episode with a "joke" about their halloween costumes looking like they were from "Mars!" "Venus!" "Wyoming!"

Gave me the impression that that was a common type of gag at some godforsaken point.

BURY ME AS I LIVED, A FREE MAN ON THE CLUTCH

Solice Kirsk posted:

I love English news articles. They always have the best photos of everyone. My favorite was a mother holding a wet rag to her kids head because he had to go to school in a long sleeve uniform during a heat wave. Her face wracked with worry, his with apprehension. It was like 80 degrees out.

I grew up in both ND and MN commuting back and forth. I've seen -63f and +106f. Somehow, I didn't die. Being out below -50f is interesting. You hear the trees exploding. Sounds like a shotgun. In AZ, 106f isn't that hot, but I found it quite stifling with the ridiculous humidity that ND has in the Red River Valley. My Grandma threw me out of the house to play no matter the temperature when we were in ND.

Uphill walk to school both ways, etc.

Yeah but what really interests me are people who live in climates that range from 48F on the low end to 83F on the upper end with a maximum variance in humidity of no more than 21% from high to low. Could someone please satisfy my interests for once?

They probably meant that it flows in a horseshoe and there's a point where you can get off and walk back to your car across a short distance. That's how the most popular tubing river in my state works.

Either way thinking a river is gonna take you back in a circle is really dumb and they should have questioned it. Its not Schlitterbahn.

Most people tubing who are adults tend to get drunk though, so I can see them just kinda getting drunk and not realizing how far they'd drifted without getting out, and then suddenly you're completely lost.

Centripetal Horse posted:

One of my all-time favorite news stories, which I've posted about in the past, involved a farmer and some missing chickens. The guy thought a fox was getting onto his property, because chickens kept disappearing, but he could never catch it in the act. The farmer staked out his chickens one night, and saw one of his cows wander over and snarf down an entire chicken. I feel bad(ish) for the chicken, but the image of a cow leaning down and chomping on a chicken cracks me up.
