I know, right? Turns out the big pictures is actually a video. That way instead of just reading the drat story some videographer guy gets to be "creative" and set it to music. I hate it when articles turn out to be videos. :argh:

quadriplegics cannot control their muscles. you're basically loving a loose tube and their body is twisted in upon itself due to the muscles withering away and contracting. additionally, they develop a large, bulbous gut due to all their organs hanging down due to the aforementioned withered muscles. it's horrible, i let the relationship run on far too long, and i hate myself for hurting that poor girls feelings.

Nope. The twink gets castrated by Nazis. I can't remember whether they were played by Skinny Puppy or if that was another gang of thugs.

Even if you wanted to make this stupid point why would you use real explosives. Accidentally setting it off is always going to be a risk (even if minute).

Even if the point you were making was a valid one, it being a live bomb doesn't actually help prove your point any better than a fake one does.

I like how it just happened to be a guy who made a bomb threat before and tried to pass it off as him taking a gigantic poo poo.

The statement from the police seems to confirm that the guy was right about people not paying attention to what's going on around them. I mean, yeah, he should still be charged, but he wasn't wrong. He just proved his point in a stupid and dangerous way.

But like, what's the definitive sign of a bomb? They don't exactly look like sticks of dynamite with a clock taped to it and wires sticking out. At best they look like a vague electronic device that a layman would have difficulty identifying and at worst they just look like a trash bag or jacket someone dropped. Considering that you can get Muslim kids arrested just for building clocks, it's no surprise someone would be hesitant to call the police on someone assembling a gadget in a Starbucks. Even the manager said he thought he was just charging his phone.

Edit: That reminds me, my workplace actually had a package delayed due to suspicion that it was a bomb. We regularly send out boxes of paper exams with calculators, pencils, and scrap paper and have them shipped back for scoring. A big batch of calculators we have beep when buttons are pressed, and there's no way to stop it except pressing another button that temporarily disables it until the next time the calculator is turned on. As the package got transported, it started beeping intermittently when jostled. It was pulled aside and searched as a potential bomb, and then after it wasn't returned to us we had to complain to one of the UPS managers to get it returned weeks later. In retrospect, who makes a bomb that audibly beeps with every second counted down?

What loving version of the bible, though?

Edit: it ain't like God typed out a perfect book 6,000 years ago in modern English and it's never been changed or altered or had stuff removed or added.

Edit: but, no, this particular translation from this particular time period with these particular books is the one true version because of reasons.

This Newsweek article from a few years ago goes pretty deep on just how badly various parts of the Bible have been mistranslated over time. It’s not perfect, and it’s long as hell, but it’s an interesting and well-researched read.

I can't see this making any sense unless the manager is a thundering moron or the guy was attempting to conceal the bomb parts as he put them together, which it doesn't sound like he was. It sounds like he was openly building a bomb and nobody thought it looked suspicious enough to call the cops.
