DOWN JACKET FETISH posted:the sunday sport is best considered "news-inspired", or "current-events-themed". they buy up photos from abroad and make up stories about the people in them jamming creme eggs up their rear end or something. subjects of the photos get a bit of cash, the people who buy the sunday sport get to imagine them performing sex acts on food, everybody wins Which makes them far more respectable than most other British newspapers where you can replace "people jamming creme eggs up their arse" with "immigrants stealing your jobs and burning your poppies" in that description.

I'm imagining some sort of sketchy website for aspiring actors where you send your photos and you fail to notice the fine print which grants the site rights to it. Or do people consciously sell their unattractive, disheveled photos expecting to see them next to a MY DOG HAS BEEN PISSING IN MY CEREAL FOR 6 MONTHS headline?

Horrible Lurkbeast posted:Suicide is old hat, reducing your lifespan through whoring and snorting is where it's at. *nods head* *is 37* MILWAUKEE -- To his fans, Phillip W. Katz was a folk hero of the computer culture, a pioneer who set the standard for file compression, or "zipping." Employees at his company, PKWare Inc., found him a beneficent, if often absentee, boss. Friends knew him as a shy jokester who loved partying and picked up tabs with wads of 50- and 100-dollar bills. But there was a darker Phil Katz, one only half-hidden from those who knew him. For years, he nurtured a serious, steadily worsening drinking problem. As it deepened, Mr. Katz spent more and more time drinking alone, often in strip clubs. He brushed off questions about his problem and fell away from his friends. Even his widowed mother, when she challenged him one too many times, was cut out of his life. At the office, "it was well-known that you didn't mess with him," says Steven Burg, a longtime employee who left the closely held PKWare in 1997. The tacit understanding, he says, was simple: "Phil drinks, and there's nothing you can do about it if you want to stay employed here." Eventually, Mr. Katz, while still nominally running the company, embarked on a strange underground life. He stopped coming to work and stayed in touch with the office only by fax and e-mail. Fearful of arrest warrants stemming from his drunk driving, he kept away from his condominium in a wealthy northern suburb and stayed in a series of South Side hotels. In one such place, a maintenance man found the 37-year-old Mr. Katz dead on April 14. He had checked in a week earlier, left instructions for housekeepers to bypass his room and hung a "Privacy Please" sign on his door handle. He was sitting on the floor by his bed in his underwear, cradling an empty bottle of peppermint schnapps in his left arm, with two other empty liquor bottles nearby. The official cause of death: acute pancreatic bleeding caused by chronic alcoholism. aw poo poo

Powaqoatse posted:welp, yeah I guess there's no consumer protection then. It still sounds fishy as hell that the mom called the next morning and was only allowed to return 4 of them. It seems more likely that all but 4 had already shipped, so if she wanted to return them she would have to pay the postage. Then she decided to keep them rather than pay postage for nothing.

I ordered a boardgame from outside of the EU once and they caught it in customs & were like: toll + vat will be like 30 bucks. so i told them to send it back and yelled at the seller for not telling me that they were outside the EU. in the end i had to pay the postage back (3-4 bucks i think?), but thats better than paying thrice the price for a game that i later bought cheaply on local website
